Effect of Wing Deformation on the Aerodynamic Performance of Flapping Wings: Fluid-Structure Interaction Approach
Wing stiffness is very crucial in augmenting aerodynamic forces in flapping wing flyers. In this work, the effect of wing deformation was studied using three-dimensional numerical analysis (two-way fluid structure interaction), coupling the flow solver (FLUENT) and the structural (ABAQUS) solver via...
