Study on Unsteady Aerodynamic Characteristics and Flow Field Evolution of a Flapping-Wing Vehicle during Turning Maneuvers
To reveal the unsteady aerodynamic responses and flow field reconstruction of bionic flapping-wing vehicles during complex maneuvers, a vehicle driven by a spatial crank-rocker mechanism was investigated. Using ANSYS Fluent integrated with UDF and overset grid techniques, the spatio-temporal coupled flight transition f...
