Aerodynamic 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...
متن کاملstudy of wing shapes influence on mav aerodynamic coefficients
in recent years, design of small aircrafts are studied and extensively developed. one of the most important of these aircrafts is micro aerial vehicles (mavs). as part of aerodynamic design of mavs, the wing design is important. in fact, the main part of this design is to find an appropriate shape for the wing. in this work, influence of the wing shape at low reynolds number flow is investigate...
متن کاملOptimization of a Morphing Wing Based on Coupled Aerodynamic and Structural Constraints
This paper presents the work done in designing a morphing wing concept for a small experimental unmanned aerial vehicle to improve the vehicle’s performance over its intended speed range. The wing is designed with a multidisciplinary design optimization tool, in which an aerodynamic shape optimization code coupled with a structural morphingmodel is used to obtain a set of optimal wing shapes fo...
متن کاملTime-Varying Wing-Twist Improves Aerodynamic Efficiency of Forward Flight in Butterflies
Insect wings can undergo significant chordwise (camber) as well as spanwise (twist) deformation during flapping flight but the effect of these deformations is not well understood. The shape and size of butterfly wings leads to particularly large wing deformations, making them an ideal test case for investigation of these effects. Here we use computational models derived from experiments on free...
متن کاملAerodynamic and Aeroelastic Optimization of Harmonically Deforming Thin Airfoils for Mav Design
The present paper addresses the aeroelastic optimization of a membrane wing. Aerodynamic optimization of a deforming wing has been done in recent work by Walker, Patil, and Canfield. The deformation shapes required for maximum thrust and thrust efficiency were calculated. In the present work, the maximum thrust for the membrane wing is calculated by optimizing the tension in the membrane so tha...
