Flapping Micro Air Vehicle: Numerical Analysis

Abstract 

Due to the intricate aerodynamics of flapping micro air vehicles (FMAVs), numerical analysis plays a crucial role. These simulations predict the aerodynamics performance before building prototypes, saving valuable time and resources. By analysing the flapping wing's interaction with air, numerical analysis helps engineers optimize FMAV designs for specific tasks like search and rescue or environmental monitoring. However, accurately modelling the flexible wings and the unsteady airflow they create remains a challenge.
