Funded Activity Summary

Understanding flapping aerodynamics in non-optimal environments. This project aims to produce a deeper understanding of factors affecting the aerodynamic forces and detailed flow dynamics of a flapping insect-like wing over a multi-dimensional parameter space with an initial focus on micro-air vehicles. The project will determine the effects of oncoming flow uniformities and environmental factors on flight performance, and how to correct for these factors to stabilise flight using feedback control. The project will use advanced computational and experimental modelling and analysis to provide specific design guidance and strategies for very-small and highly functional micro air vehicles for wide ranging applications in areas including transport, marine engineering and sport.
