T1 Aerodynamic models for high-amplitude, low reynolds flapping airfoils
A1 Morales Tirado, Elisa
AB In this thesis a new aerodynamic model of insect-like flapping flight for micro airvehicles has been developed. The New Predicted Aerodynamic Model (NPAM) wasbased on the model described by Weis-Fogh model in Energetics of Hovering Flightin Hummingbirds and Drosophila. In order to achieved the NPAM some variationswere introduced regarding the geometry of the problem under study and also someimprovements was done to the theory developed by Weis-Fogh. To have the requiredinputs for the model, a fitting from a DNS database for lift and drag coefficient, andaerodynamic efficiency was performed. Finally, the DNS database was also used todetermine the accuracy and validity of the New Predicted Aerodynamic Model.
