The leading-edge vortex of swift wing-shaped delta wings
Recent investigations on the aerodynamics of natural fliers have illuminated the significance of the leading-edge vortex (LEV) for lift generation in a variety of flight conditions. A well-documented example of an LEV is that generated by aircraft with highly swept, delta-shaped wings. While the wing aerodynamics of a manoeuvring aircraft, a bird gliding and a bird in flapping flight vary signi...
متن کاملTopology Optimization of Adaptive Compliant Aircraft Wing Leading Edge
A network analysis technique is introduced which may be used for determining and parameterizing the load paths in a lattice structure to enable a load path-based topology optimization to be carried out in a way that permits the use of Genetic Algorithms. This technique provides the designer with a greater level of control over the problem complexity than alternative schemes and enables the use ...
متن کاملThe effect of aspect ratio on the leading-edge vortex over an insect-like flapping wing.
Insect wing shapes are diverse and a renowned source of inspiration for the new generation of autonomous flapping vehicles, yet the aerodynamic consequences of varying geometry is not well understood. One of the most defining and aerodynamically significant measures of wing shape is the aspect ratio, defined as the ratio of wing length (R) to mean wing chord (c). We investigated the impact of a...
متن کاملThree-dimensional flow structures and evolution of the leading-edge vortices on a flapping wing.
Following the identification and confirmation of the substructures of the leading-edge vortex (LEV) system on flapping wings, it is apparent that the actual LEV structures could be more complex than had been estimated in previous investigations. In this experimental study, we reveal for the first time the detailed three-dimensional (3-D) flow structures and evolution of the LEVs on a flapping w...
متن کاملAerodynamic Shape Optimization of an Adaptive Morphing Trailing Edge Wing
Adaptive morphing trailing edge wings have the potential to reduce the fuel burn of transport aircraft. In this paper, we quantify the aerodynamic performance benefits of a morphing trailing using aerodynamic design optimization. The aerodynamic model solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier– Stokes equations with a Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is used i...
