Abstract

In this study, 3D model of the bio-inspired blow fly wing Callphere Erytrocephala is created and aeroelastic analysis is performed to calculate its aerodynamical characateristic by use of numerical methods. In order to perform the flapping motion, a sinusoidal input function is created. The scope of this study is to perform aeroelastic analysis by syncronizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural dynamic analysis model and to investigate the unsteady lift formation on the aeroelastic flapping wing. Keywords: Micro air vehicle, Fluid-structure interaction analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Structural dynamic analysis, Finite element analysis
