초록

자유로운 이착륙과 뛰어난 비행능력을 가진 플랩핑 날갯짓 비행체에 관한 집중적 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 대부분의 플랩핑 날갯짓에 관한 연구는 동기화된 운동의 다양한 운동변수에 대한 연구들로 비동기 운동을 수행하는 에어포일의 비정상 공력 특성에 미치는 영향에 대한 관심은 크지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 히브와 피치 진동운동 주파수가 서로 다른 에어포일의 비정상 공력특성을 수치적으로 연구했다. 먼저 비동기 운동에 따른 운동특성과 받음각 변화를 파악하였다. 해석 결과 진동수 비가 1.0인 경우 양력은 발생하지 않았고 추력이 크게 발생했다. r=0.5인 경우 양력이 크게 발생하였다. 에어포일 주변의와 분포와 표면에서의 압력계수를 분석하여 비동기 진동운동을 하는 에아포일의 공력특성을 분석했다. r=0.5인 경우 r=1.0인 경우 보다 더 큰 앞전 및 뒷전 와들이 관찰되었으며, 이 와들이 비동기 진동운동을 하는 에어포일의 공력특성에 큰 영향을 미친 것을 발견하였다. 향후 피치진동의 진폭이 비동기 진동운동을 하는 에어포일의 비정상 공력특성에 미치는 영향을 연구할 계획이다.

Flapping-wing air vehicles, well known for their free vertical take-off and excellent flight capability, are currently under intensive development and research. While most of the studies have explored the effect of various parameters of synchronized motions on the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping wings, limited attention has been given to the effect of nonsynchronous motions on the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of flapping wings. In the present study, we conducted a numerical analysis to investigate the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil flapping with different frequency ratios between pitch and heave oscillations. We identified the motions and angle of attacks due to nonsynchronous motions. It was found that the synchronous motion produced thrust with zero lift, but the nonsynchronous motion generated a large lift with little drag. The aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil undergoing the non-synchronous motion were also analyzed using the vorticity distributions and the pressure coefficient around and on the airfoil. When r was equal to 0.5, larger leading and trailing edge vortices were observed compared to the case when r was equal to 1.0, and these vortices significantly affected the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil undergoing the nonsynchronous motion. In future, the effect of pitch amplitude on the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil will be studied.
