Abstract Flight dynamics of flapping insects is still an open area of research, though it is well known that they can provide superior flight abilities such as hovering motion. The numerical analysis of flapping wing requires fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis to evaluate the effect of deformable wing on flight ability. Such FSI analysis is quite challenging because not only the tight coupling approach to predict flight ability accurately, but also the robust mesh control to trace the large motion of the wing with elastic deformation are required. A new iterative partitioned coupling algorithm for the FSI problems is proposed in this… More >
