Abstract

In this paper, a systematic design method on an IPMC(ionic polymer-metal composite)-driven ZNMF(zero-net-mass-flux) pump is introduced for the flow control of an MAV's (micro air vehicle) wing. Since the IPMC is able to generate a large deformation under a low input voltage along with its ability to operate in air, and is easier to be manufactured in a small size, it is considered to be an ideal material of the actuating diaphragm. Through the numerical methods, an optimal shape of the IPMC　diaphragm was found for maximizing the stroke volume. Based on the optimal IPMC diaphragm, a proto-type ZNMF pump with a slot, was designed. By using the flight speed of the MAV considered in this work, the driving frequencies(~ 40 Hz) of IPMC diaphragm, and the flow velocity through the pump's slot, the calculated non-dimensional frequency and the momentum coefficient ensure the feasibility of the designed ZNMF pump as a flow control device.

본 논문은 초소형 비행체 날개 주위의 공기흐름 조절을 위한 IPMC 작동기로 구동되는 ZNMF 펌프의 체계적인 설계 및 해석 기법을 소개한다. IPMC는 낮은 인가전압에서 큰 굽힘 변위를 발생시키며, 공기 중에서도 작동이 가능하고, 작은 크기로 손쉽게 제작할 수 있기 때문에 소형 펌프의 작동 막으로 매우 적합한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석 기법을 이용하여 최대 작동 체적을 발생시키는 IPMC 작동 막의 최적 형상을 찾고, 이러한 최적형상에 기초하여 슬롯을 갖는 ZNMF 펌프를 설계하였다. 이후 초소형 비행체의 비행속도, 펌프 작동 막의 구동 주파수(~ 40 Hz), 슬롯을 통과하는 공기의 속도 등을 이용하여 무차원화 된 진동수와 모멘텀 계수를 구하였고, 설계된 ZNMF 펌프가 초소형 비행체 날개의 공기흐름 조절에 적용이 가능함을 보였다.
