Through experiment and analysis, it was found that the average lift produced by an FWR of PPAV was >100% higher than the baseline model, the same FWR of a constant pitching angle 30o under the same input power. The PPAV (in this study 10o~50o) was realized by a specially designed sleeve-pin unit as part of a U-shape flapping mechanism. The present work was based on an experimental study on the aerodynamic performance of a flapping wing rotor (FWR) and enhancement by passive pitching angle variation (PPAV) associated with powered flapping motion. The effects of each twisting mode are mainly caused by the changes in the shear layer velocity that occur as a result of spanwise twisting. Force sensor data also showed that this effect on the lift is reversed during the upstroke, where the backward-twist causes a negative lift. ![]() By contrast, backward-twist increases the circulation during the downstroke, resulting in large increases in both lift and drag coefficients. PIV results show that forward-twist limits circulation and leading-edge vortex (LEV) growth during the downstroke, keeping ΓΓ ≈ 0 at the cost of the reduced lift. Additionally, the forward-twist maintains a near-constant lift coefficient during the transition between downstroke and upstroke, suggesting a more stable form of locomotion. Force sensor measurements show that the forward-twist recovers some of the lift that is usually lost during the upstroke of flapping locomotion. In the first twisting mode, the plate is twisted in the direction of the heave (forward-twist), and in the second mode, the plate is twisted opposite to the direction of the heave (backward-twist). Two reduced frequencies, Γ = 0.105, and 0.209, and two twisting modes are investigated. In particular, the effects of the direction of twist, non-dimensional heaving amplitude, and reduced frequency are studied using a force sensor and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements. In this paper, a flat plate executing a heaving maneuver is subjected to a similar dynamic twisting. The effects of such dynamic twisting on the unsteady forces on the fin and its surrounding flow field are yet to be understood in detail. Many marine animals can dynamically twist their pectoral fins while swimming. The lift and thrust are mainly generatedĭuring the downstroke and almost negligible forces during the upstroke by the High aerodynamic forces, and the mechanisms for the aerodynamic forceĮnhancement are the asymmetry of the cambered wing and the amplifier effects of Theįurther study indicates that the vortex control is a main mechanism to produce The lift, followed by area-changing model and then the bending model. It is found that the cambering model has a great positive influence on ![]() Three dimensional unsteady panel method is applied to predict the aerodynamicįorces. A plate of aspect ratio 3 is used to model a bat wing and a The spanwise direction, wing-cambering in the chordwise direction, and wingĪrea-changing. Besides the twisting, theĮlementary morphing models of a bat wing are proposed, such as wing-bending in The large active wing deformation is a significant way to generate highĪerodynamic forces required in bat flapping flight.
