Abstract:This study is focused toward the analysis of fluid dynamics associated with the clap-and-fling motion of insect wings. In this regard, a numerical framework based on a moving non-uniform grid block and the multi-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method is utilized. This study investigates the impact of key kinematic parameters such as angle of attack α0 (20°–50°), percentage overlap between pitching and sweeping ξ (0%–100%), and the Reynolds number Re (20–200), on the aerodynamic lift, drag, and power requirem… Show more
