Flapping motion parameters of airfoils in a biplane configuration are optimized for
maximum thrust and/or propulsive efficiency. Unsteady, viscous flowfields over … In this study,
the sinusoidal motion parameters of two flapping airfoils in a biplane configuration are
optimized for maximum thrust and/or propulsive efficiency using a gradient-based optimization
algorithm. The optimization algorithm and the unsteady flow solutions on moving/deforming
overset grids are obtained in a parallel computing environment. The optimum …
BASED on observations of flying birds, insects, and swimming fish, it appears that flapping wings may be advantageous for flights of very small-scale vehicles, so-called micro air vehicles
