Dynamic aerodynamic-structural coupling numerical simulation on the flexible wing of a cicada based on ansys
Most biological flyers undergo orderly deformation in flight, and the
deformations of wings lead to complex fluid-structure interactions. In this
paper, an aerodynamic-structural coupling method of flapping wing is developed
based on ANSYS to simulate the flapping of flexible wing. Fluent module and
Transient Structural module are connected through the System Coupling module to
make a two-way fluid-structure Coupling computational framework. Comparing with
the rigid wing of a cicada, the coupling results of the flexible wing shows
that the flexible deformation can increase the aerodynamic performances of
flapping flight.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, International Journal of Recent advances in
