3D Numerical simulations of a biplane flapping wing MAV have been performed using an immersed boundary method Navier-Stokes finite volume solver. To obtain a realistic simulation, the wing deformation has been captured using a stereo-vision system. The raw data obtained is furthe ...

The effect of wing deformation on unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms in hovering flapping flight

Numerical study using a three-dimensional immersed boundary method

This study investigated the effect of chord deformation on the unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms found in hovering flapping flight at a Reynolds number of Re = 2002. This was done in order to get a better understanding of the physics involved in flapping flight, which in turn could ...
