Effects of Stroke Amplitude and Wing Planform on the Aerodynamic Performance of Hovering Flapping Wings

Effects of Stroke Amplitude and Wing Planform on the Aerodynamic Performance of Hovering Flapping Wings

In this paper, the effects of stroke amplitude and wing planform on the aerodynamics of hovering flapping wings are considered by numerically solving the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The wing planform geometry is represented using a beta-function distribution for an aspect ratio range of...
