Abstract

Computational studies of transient three-dimensional flapping wing are carried out using the large eddy simulation (LES) approach. The studies concern the understanding of the effect of flapping motion on the aerodynamic performance and aeroacoustics noise of a finite NACA0012 wing. The flapping motion of the wing generates trailing-edge vortices whose magnitude and scale vary in time. The near-field flow is associated with periodic flow separation and reattachments, which cause a time-dependent aerodynamic coefficients.
