Sensing of minute airflow motions near walls using pappus-type nature-inspired sensors

This work describes the development and use of pappus-like structures as sensitive sensors to detect minute air-flow motions. We made such sensors from pappi taken from nature-grown seed, whose filiform hairs’ length-scale is suitable for the study of large-scale turbulent convection flows. The stem...
