Effects of wing deformation on aerodynamic forces in hovering hoverflies.
We studied the effects of wing deformation on the aerodynamic forces of wings of hovering hoverflies by solving the Navier-Stokes equations on a dynamically deforming grid, employing the recently measured wing deformation data of hoverflies in free-flight. Three hoverflies were considered. By taking out the camber deformation and the spanwise twist deformation one by one and by comparing the re...
متن کاملUnsteady 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 Hovering Performance of Rigid and Flexible Wing Planform Shapes
Wing geometric parameters govern the aerodynamic performance of insects and micro aerial vehicles. Previous studies of wing shapes have been limited to rigid wings. The aerodynamic hovering performance of rigid and flexible wing shapes for aspect ratio AR = 1.5 is evaluated computationally at the Reynolds number (Re) of 400. The three-dimensional viscous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations a...
متن کاملAn Aerodynamic Data System for Small Hovering Fixed-Wing UAS
Small fixed-wing UAS that are able to hover combine the station keeping abilities of a rotary wing platform and the extended range of conventional aircraft. Current autopilots for these vehicles rely on inertial measurements plus airspeed to transition from forward flight to hover, accumulating appreciable position error during the transition. Once in hover, a combination of inertial and GPS da...
متن کاملEstimation of Aerodynamic Forces and Moments on Bridge Decks Based on Two Dimensional Velocity Fields
In order to predict the structural responses under random wind loads to avoid catastrophe failures, structural dynamic analysis is necessary, which requires a reasonable description of wind loads on structures. Based on the equations of fluid mechanics, equations for aerodynamic forces for structures in motion and coefficients of drag, lift and pitching moment for static structures are derived ...
