Effect of Hindwings on the Aerodynamics and Passive Dynamic Stability of a Hovering Hawkmoth

Ryusuke Noda,

Abstract: Insects are able to fly stably in the complex environment of the various gusts that occur in nature. In addition, many insects suffer wing damage in their lives, but many species of insects are capable of flying without their hindwings. Here, we evaluated the effect of hindwings on aerodynamics using a Navier–Stokes-based numerical model, and then the passive dynamic stability was evaluated by coupling the equation of motion in three degrees of freedom with the aerodynamic forces estimated by the CFD solver un… Show more

“…In the cycle of wingbeats, H. axyridis overcame the effect of lift reduction by increasing thrust. In addition, the aerodynamic regulation of H. axyridis was usually closely related to the changes in wingbeat kinematics, and the change in the position of the motion angle determined the aerodynamic characteristics of the hindwing [ 35 ]. In detail, the peak lift was 40.05 mN and the peak thrust was 45.88 mN.…”

“…The accuracy of the fitting results was determined using the coefficients of the Fourier series. In previous studies, the wingbeat motion functions of insects mostly used simple sine or cosine functions, which differ significantly from the real wingbeat characteristics of insects [ 35 , 38 , 39 ]. The real kinematic data of insect wings can guide the design of bio-inspired FWMAVs, so it is crucial to establish an accurate mathematical model of beetle wingbeat motion.…”

“…In practical applications, the distributed information interaction network among FMAVs is susceptible to information incompleteness phenomena, encompassing missing sampling signals, time delays, and various internal or external interferences. These factors inevitably compromise overall estimation performance, impacting the accuracy and reliability of the entire system [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Consequently, the effective integration of interaction information within the FMAV network is crucial for achieving efficient, prompt, and reliable distributed state estimation.…”

“…It is exceedingly challenging and practically unfeasible to directly gauge the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on a freely flying insect and to map the flow field around the wings. To overcome the challenge of direct measurement, researchers can employ experimental or numerical methods to estimate the aerodynamic forces and moments on model wing replicas of insect wings [9,[15][16][17][18].…”
