The Influence of the Flight Aerodynamic for Interactions of Wings and Body of the Honeybee

Abstract:

The flight mechanism of flapping-wing was studied by using the translation-rotation model. We established the flapping-coordinate of the wing, gave the equation of the motion, and simplified the flapping-wing model. The aerodynamic and vortices were simulated by the CFD software of Fluent. The leading-edge vortex generated in the translation phase, and delayed stall mechanism had an important effect on the high lift. In the rotation phase, lift peaks appear due to the wing rapidly rotating and rotational circulation mechanism. The aerodynamics were obtained in different amplitudes, frequencies, angles of attack, the locations of rotating axis and timings of rotation. The influence of these parameters on average lift coefficient is obvious, while it can be ignored to average drag coefficient. Keywords: wing, aerodynamics, vortices, numerical simulation.
