鸟翼表面非光滑结构流动控制机理研究

Numerical study on flow control mechanism of non-smooth surface structures of bird wings

  • 摘要: 本文拟通过对鸽子翅翼表面非光滑结构对仿生翅翼气动性能影响的研究,揭示了鸟类翅翼表面非光滑结构的流动控制机理,从而为飞行器的优化设计提供理论参考。首先结合逆向工程技术和3D扫描结果对活体鸽子进行翅翼的仿生重构,分别建立了光滑结构和非光滑结构的仿生翅翼模型。然后采用数值模拟方法对仿生鸽子翅翼模型进行空气动力学特性分析,研究了滑翔状态下飞行速度和飞行迎角对仿生翅翼气动性能的影响。在18m/s的飞行速度条件下,对不同飞行姿态时光滑仿生翅翼和非光滑仿生翅翼的气动性能及其流动结构进行了分析比较。研究结果表明:大迎角条件下,非光滑仿生翅翼具有较好的流动控制能力和气动性能,这也正是鸟类高效飞行的原因之一。

     

    Abstract: In order to support the design of aircrafts, the flow control mechanism of the non-smooth surface structure of bird wings is revealed by investigating the influence of the non-smooth surface structure of bionic wings on the aerodynamic performance. Firstly, the bionic wing of the pigeon is reconstructed based on reverse engineering technique and 3D scanning results. Two kinds of bionic wings are established. They are smooth structure and non-smooth structure bionic wing models, respectively. The effects of flight speed and flight angle on the aerodynamic performance of the bionic wings under gliding are studied by using numerical simulation method to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of the bionic wing models. The aerodynamic performance and the flow structure of the smooth bionic wings and the non-smooth bionic wings are analyzed at different flight attitudes and 18 m/s flight speed. The results show that the non-smooth bionic wing has better flow control ability and aerodynamic performance at high angle of attack than the smooth bionic wing. This behavior is consistent with the efficient flight of birds.
