Abstract:

Morphing airfoil is one of the essential solutions to improving the aircraft maneuverability performance, high lift and low drag, and to meeting variable flight conditions. Exploring the mechanism of the wing deformation influence on the flow is the precondition of control. A frequency-weighted ordering approach of dynamic mode decomposition is proposed to analyze the influence mechanism of trailing-edge flapping of a morphing airfoil. The frequency-weighted method is compared with conventional ones, such as the initial value method and the norm method, in terms of the numerical simulation results and experimental data under different working conditions. The second modal frequencies obtained by the frequency-weighted method match the flapping frequencies, indicating its ability to reveal the influence of the periodical flapping on the inner flow structure and wake. Based on the numerical simulation data, with the same number of reconstructed modes and a flapping frequency of 300.0 Hz, the errors of the frequency-weighted, initial value, and norm methods are 0.39%, 0.58%, and 3.25%, respectively. Based on the PIV test data, the errors become 7.56%, 8.77%, and 10.56%. The frequency-weighted method has the smallest error and can be better used for the flow analysis and subsequent feedback control of active flapping morphing wings.
