Scaling laws and performance enhancement mechanism of compact tandem flapping foils
The tandem dual-wings/fins of natural flyers/swimmers exhibit superior propulsive performance. However, the fluid mechanism behind it remains uncertain. In this paper, the self-propulsion of compact tandem flapping foils with a fixed gap is numerically studied. It is found that as compared with a single foil, the compact tandem-foil system has significant speed enhancement and efficiency augmentation. When the phase difference and gap distance are appropriate, the maximum increase in speed can reach up to 54 %, and increase in efficiency can reach up to 72 %. Subsequently, some simple scaling laws are proposed for the propulsive speed and power consumption of the compact tandem-foil system. Furthermore, the fluid-structure interactions between the two foils are analyzed, and it is found that the speed enhancement primarily results from the thrust increase of the hind foil. The results obtained here may shed some light on understanding the propulsion mechanisms of the dual-wings/fins of natural flyers/swimmers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Fluids and Structures serves as a focal point and a forum for the exchange of ideas, for the many kinds of specialists and practitioners concerned with fluid–structure interactions and the dynamics of systems related thereto, in any field. One of its aims is to foster the cross–fertilization of ideas, methods and techniques in the various disciplines involved.
The journal publishes papers that present original and significant contributions on all aspects of the mechanical interactions between fluids and solids, regardless of scale.
