A flow visualization of the two-dimensional rigid fling-clap motions of the flat-plate wing are performed to gain knowledge of butterfly mechanisms that might be employed by butterflies during flight. In this numerical visualization, the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved for cyclic fling and clap types of wing motion. The separation vortex pair that is developed in the fling phase of the cyclic fling and clap motion is observed to be stronger than those of the fling followed by clap and pause motion(1st cycle motion). This stronger separation vortex pair in the fling phase is attributable to the separation vortex pair of the outside space developed in the clap phase as it moves into the opening in the following fling phase. Accordingly, higher lift and power expenditure coefficients in the fling after clap phase is caused by the stronger separation vortex pair.

나비가 비행할 때 적용할 수 있는 프링-크래핑 (fling-clapping) 날개의 첫 번째 사이클 운동에 관한 흐름 가시화가 수행되었다. 본 수치적 흐름 가시화 연구에서는 프링-크랩-정지 (fling-clapping-pause), 크랩-프링-정지(clap-fling-pause)의 단계를 거치는 두 가지 형태의 날개 운동 해석을 위해 시간의존 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 이용하였다. 결과에서는 두개군의 분리와류 쌍과 그것들이 전개되는 과정과 같은 주요 흐름특성이 관찰되었다. 프링-크랩-정지 운동의 경우, 날개가 열리는 프링단계에서 시계반대방향의 강한 분리와류 쌍이 날개 사이의 열린 내부공간에 발달된다. 이어지는 크랩단계에서 분리와류 쌍은 열린 내부공간 밖으로 이동된다. 크랩-프링-정지 운동의 경우, 크랩 단계의 외부 공간에서 발달한 분리와 류 쌍은 뒤따르는 프링 단계에서 열린 내부공간내로 움직인다. 크랩-프링-정지 운동의 프 링 단계에서 발생된 열린 내부공간의 분리와류 쌍은 프링-크랩-정지 운동의 프링단계에서 발생된 열린 내부공간의 분리와류 짱보다 더 강한 와류 쌍임이 관찰되었다.

In the present work, high-speed video images of the ground take-off flight of a live butterfly were captured and their dynamic motions during the first full-stroke were analyzed. To capture the dynamic images of the take-off motion, the experimental setup consisted of a high-speed camera, a Xenon lamp as a light source and a transparent chamber of $15^W{\times}15^L{\times}17^H$ $cm^3$ in physical size. The ambient temperature and supplementary lighting devices were precisely controlled. The weight and wing span of the butterfly tested in this study was 104 mg and 63.14 mm, respectively. The ground take-off images were captured with 4000 fps with a spatial resolution of (1024${\times}$512) pixels. The period of the first full-stroke was 80.5ms and the flapping speed of downstroke was 2 times faster than that of upstroke. As a result, butterflies used the fling and near-clap motion to generate lifting force and an interesting take-off behavior of early pronation and downstroke was observed.
