Abstract

A visualization study was carried out to investigate the effects of phase difference qualitatively by examining wake pattern on the phase difference of a dragonfly type wing model. The model was built with scaled-up, flapping wings composed of a paired wing with fore- and hind-wings in tandem that mimick the wing form of a dragonfly. The present study was conducted by using the smoke-wire technique and an electronic device below the tandem wings was mounted to find the exact wing position angles. Uncertainties in wing position angle are about $\pm$$1.0^{\cire}$ and instantaneous wing positional angle varies from $-16.5^{\cire}$ to $+22.8^{\cire}$. The tests were made at phase differences between the fore-wing and hind-wing at $0^{\cire}$, $90^{\cire}$, $180^{\cire}$ and $270^{\cire}$. The results show that Karman vortex structures were produced at phase differences of $90^{\cire}$, $180^{\cire}$ and $270^{\cire}$, but Karman vortex structures were not observed at the phase difference of $0^{\cire}$.

본 가시화 연구는 잠자리 유형 모델의 위상차에 관한 후류의 변화를 관찰함으로써 위상차 효과를 정성적으로 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 가시화 실험에 사용된 잠자리 유형 모델은 잠자리의 날개 형상을 모방한 앞뒤 날개를 가진 쌍으로 구성되어 있으며, 잠자리의 플래핑 날개를 확대하여 제작하였다. 본 연구는 smoke-wire 기법을 통한 가시화 실험이 수행되었고, 정확한 날개위치각도를 찾기 위하여 동기화 조정장치가 사용되었다. 이때 날개위치각도의 불확실성은 약 $\pm$$1^{\cire}$정도이며, 순간 날개 위치각도는 $-16.5^{\cire}$에서 $22.8^{\cire}$까지 변한다. 본 실험은 앞ㆍ뒤 날개의 위상차가 $0^{\cire}$, $90^{\cire}$, $180^{\cire}$, $270^{\cire}$인 경우 수행되었다. 본 연구 결과 위상차 $90^{\cire}$, $180^{\cire}$, $270^{\cire}$에서는 Karman Vortex가 발생되지만, 위상차 $0^{\cire}$에서는 Karman Vortex 현상이 관찰되지 않는다.
