Experimental Study of the Effect of Wing Flapping on the Aerodynamic Performance of Tail and the Stability of a Flapping Wing Air Vehicle, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Pourtakdoust, Hossein (Supervisor) ; Kiani, Maryam (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
In adaptation with nature, Flapping Wing Arial Robots (FWARs) are flying vehicles that use wing flapping motion to produce lift and thrust forces simultaneously. Wing oscillating motion of FWARs in turn creates an unsteady and turbulent flow field around them that makes their aerodynamic modeling and analysis a complex and formidable task. As a result, experimental aerodynamic investigation of FWARs has been the focus of many researchers in the last few years. Inspired by nature, Bird-like FWARs utilize a tail as an augmented aerodynamic surface during their flight motion. In turn the tail aerodynamics that in general plays an important role in flight stability and control is adversely...
