Unsteady aerodynamic forces of a flapping wing.
The unsteady aerodynamic forces of a model fruit fly wing in flapping motion were investigated by numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations. The flapping motion consisted of translation and rotation [the translation velocity (u(t)) varied according to the simple harmonic function (SHF), and the rotation was confined to a short period around stroke reversal]. First, it was shown that for a...
متن کاملAerodynamic Characteristics of the Ventilated Design for Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle
Inspired by superior flight performance of natural flight masters like birds and insects and based on the ventilating flaps that can be opened and closed by the changing air pressure around the wing, a new flapping wing type has been proposed. It is known that the net lift force generated by a solid wing in a flapping cycle is nearly zero. However, for the case of the ventilated wing, results f...
متن کاملAerodynamic Analysis and Wind Tunnel Test for Flapping-wing Mavs
A lightweight flapping-wing micro air vehicle (MAV) was designed and built and successfully filed in the sky. The unsteady aerodynamics associated with this MAV was detailedly studied by using the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD).The variations of different parameters of the flapping MAV, such as flapping amplitude, pitch amplitude and flapping frequency, were investigated with nume...
متن کاملPassive Aerodynamic Drag Balancing in a Flapping-Wing Robotic Insect
Flapping-wing robotic platforms based on Dipteran insects have demonstrated lift to weight ratios greater than 1, but research into regulating the aerodynamic forces produced by their wings has largely focused on active wing trajectory control. In an alternate approach, a flapping-wing drivetrain design that passively balances aerodynamic drag torques is presented. A discussion of the dynamic p...
متن کاملEffects of Ipsilateral Wing-Wing Interactions on Aerodynamic Performance of Flapping Wings
Dragonflies are masters of using the ipsilateral wing-wing interaction for different kinds of flying modes. It has been discovered that the phase difference between ipsilateral forewings and hindwings plays important role on wing aerodynamic performance. In the current study, we continue our research of a modeled dragonfly in slow flight (Liang and Dong (2009)) by varying the phase difference b...
