Abstract

A flow visualization of the 1st cycle motion of a fling-clapping wing that might be employed by butterflies during flight is performed. In this numerical flow visualization, he time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two wing motion types; 'fling followed by clap and pause' and 'clap followed by fling and pause'. The result is observed regarding the main flow features such as the sequential development of the two families of separation vortex pairs and their movement. For the fling followed by clap and pause motion, a strong separation vortex pair of counter-clockwise develops in the opening between the wings in the fling phase and they then move out from the opening in the following clap phase. For the clap followed by fling and pause motion, the separation vortex pair developed in the outside space in the clap phase move into the opening in the following fling phase. The separation vortex pair in the opening developed in the fling phase of the clap followed by fling and pause motion is observed to be stronger than that in the opening developed in the fling phase of the fling followed by clap and pause motion.

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.
