Effect of Wing Sweep Angle on the Vortex Interaction of a Tail-Wing Configuration
The goal of this investigation is to study the effect of wing sweep angle on the horizontal wing-body- tail configurations in subsonic flow. For this purpose, a series of wind tunnel tests were conducted on a model having a moveable horizontal tail and a wing planform with different sweep angles. Tests were performed at different tail deflection angles. Static surface pressure distribution over...
متن کاملThe Effect of a Gust on the Flapping Wing Performance
The effect of a wind gust on the aerodynamic characteristics of a rigid wing undergoing insect-based flapping motion is studied numerically. The turbulent flow near the flapping wing is described by the 3-D unsteady compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model. The governing equations are solved using a second-order node-centered finite volum...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of Ultralight High-Voltage Power Circuits for Flapping-Wing Robotic Insects
Flapping-wing robotic insects are small, highly maneuverable flying robots inspired by biologicalinsects and useful for a wide range of tasks, including exploration, environmental monitoring, searchand rescue, and surveillance. Recently, robotic insects driven by piezoelectric actuators have achievedthe important goal of taking off with external power; however, fully autonomous operation requir...
متن کاملComparison of Power Requirements: Flapping vs. Fixed Wing Vehicles
The power required by flapping and fixed wing vehicles in level flight is determined and compared. Based on a new modelling approach, the effects of flapping on the induced drag in flapping wing vehicles are mathematically described. It is shown that flapping causes a significant increase in the induced drag when compared with a non-flapping, fixed wing vehicle. There are two effects for that i...
متن کاملOscillating-wing Power Generation
Numerical and experimental methods are described for the investigation of an oscillating-wing generator or wingmill. The numerical approach applies a previously developed, unsteady, in-compressible panel method incorporating a non-linear, deforming wake model to compute the unsteady ow about an airfoil undergoing speciied pitch and plunge motions. An experimental model is described which can du...
