Abstract
Ground effect is one of the important factors in the enhancement of wing aerodynamic performance. This study aims to investigate the aerodynamic forces and performance of a flapping wing with the bending deflection angel under the ground effect.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the wing and flapping mechanism were designed and manufactured based on the seagull flight and then assembled. It is worth noting that this mechanism is capable of wing bending in the upstroke flight as big birds. Finally, the model was examined at bending deflection angles of 0° and 107° and different distances from the surface, flapping frequencies and velocities in forward flight in a wind tunnel.FindingsThe results revealed that the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings in forward flight improved due to the ground effect. The effect of the bending deflection mechanism on lift generation was escalated when the flapping wing was close to the surface, where the maximum power loading occurred.Practical implicationsFlapping wings have many different applications, such as maintenance, traffic control, pollution monitoring, meteorology and high-risk operations. Unlike fixed-wing micro aerial vehicles, flapping wings are capable of operating in very-low Reynolds-number flow regimes. On the other hand, ground effect poses positive impacts on the provision of aerodynamic forces in the take-off process.Originality/valueBending deflection in the flapping motion and ground effect are two influential factors in the enhancement of the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings. The combined effects of these two factors have not been studied yet, which is addressed in this study.
