Fig. 11. Time courses of muscle-mass-specific powers over a flapping cycle. (A)
Inertial powers: solid line (Exp) and broken line (Com) express the
experimental data (Fry et al.,
2005) and the computational data, respectively. (B) Aerodynamic
powers: upper (blue; Exp_u), average (red; Exp_a) and lower (yellow; Exp_l)
data from Fry et al. (Fry et al.,
2005; green broken line is the computed data (Com_a). (C) Total
mechanical powers: blue solid line (Exp) and orange broken line (Com) express
the experimental data (Fry et al.,
2005) and the computational data. T, dimensionless period
of one flapping cycle.
