In this paper, it is introduced to find net aerodynamic lift capacity of proposed flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) by performing dynamical calculation and FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) analysis of a flapping wing test system. In the flapping system, a single degree of freedom type four-bar mechanism which was used as a piezo-driven flapping wing mechanism in previous literature studies is implemented to create beating motion of the wings. For the wing structure, Calliphora Erythocephala’s wing is used which is presented by Konkuk University [1]. The flapping wing mechanism and wing structure are fabricated by 1 mm of plexiglass. In FWMAV applications, in order to produce enough force to levitate the flapping structure, the inertial forces are created by flapping wing mechanism should not dominate on aerodynamic lift capacity of the wings. In this framework, the real-time flapping test is performed by six degrees of freedom force transducer for a specific flapping frequency (11.2 Hz) to understand inertial and aerodynamic characteristics of the proposed mechanism and test results are presented. The theoretical approach is put forward by obtaining the dynamic model of the proposed flapping structure. The initial angular position, mass, and radius of rotation values of the major linkages of the flapping wing mechanism are presented. Tangential and centrifugal forces acting on major linkages of the four-bar flapping wing mechanism are found and total inertial characteristics of the proposed mechanism are obtained in different axes. FSI analysis of the proposed flapping wing mechanism is performed to understand how the elasticity of the wing effects of the aerodynamic lift capacity of the structure. The aeroelastic analysis is modelled based on the conditions are performed in the test phase. The Fluid-structure interaction model is created in two different domain using ABAQUS CAE and STARCCM+. ABAQUS CAE is used to create the structural dynamics finite element model of the proposed flapping wing structure. A time-dependent dynamic implicit analysis step is created in finite element analysis (FEA) model and sinusoidal input is defined to the corresponding linkage and inertial results are shared. In this framework, the wing is modelled in STARCCM+ interface. The inertial force results belonging to FSI analysis is presented and compared with the theoretical model and experimental test results.

Flow visualization around a flapping-wing micro air vehicle in free flight
Del Estal Herrero, Alejandro; Perçin, Mustafa; Karasek, Matej; Van Oudheusden, Bas W. (null; 2018-10-05)
Flow visualizations have been performed on a free flying flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV), using a large-scale particle image velocimetry (PIV) approach. The PIV method involves the use of helium filled soap bubbles (HFSB) as tracer particles. HFSB scatter light with much higher intensity than regular seeding particles and comparable to that reflected off the flexible flapping wings. This enables flow field visualization to be achieved also close to the flapping wings, in contrast to previous PIV exper...
Vortex Formation and Force Generation Mechanisms of the DelFly II in Hovering Flight
Tenaglia, A; Perçin, Mustafa; Van Oudheusden, Bas W.; Deng, Shuanghou; Remes, Bart (2014-08-12)
This paper addresses the unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms in the hovering flight of the DelFly II flapping-wing Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV). Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) were carried out around the wings at a high framing rate. Thrust-force was measured to investigate the relation between the vortex dynamics and the aerodynamic force generation. The results reveal that the Leading-Edge-Vortex (LEV), as well as the high flexibility of the wings, have a major effect on thrust generation....
Aerodynamic characterization of 'DelFly Micro' in forward flight configuration by force measurements and flow field visualization
Deng, Shuanghou; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, Bas (2015-01-01)
This study explores the flow structures and unsteady force generation mechanisms of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle 'DelFly Micro' in forward flight configuration. Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) measurements were performed to acquire three dimensional flow fields in the wake. Six components of forces and moments were captured simultaneously by use of a miniature force sensor.
Flow Visualization around a Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle in Free Flight Using Large-Scale PIV
Herrero, Alejandro del Estal; Perçin, Mustafa; Karasek, Matej; van Oudheusden, Bas (2018-12-01)
Flow visualizations have been performed on a free flying, flapping-wing micro air vehicle (MAV), using a large-scale particle image velocimetry (PIV) approach. The PIV method involves the use of helium-filled soap bubbles (HFSB) as tracer particles. HFSB scatter light with much higher intensity than regular seeding particles, comparable to that reflected off the flexible flapping wings.

Dynamical modelling of the flow over a flapping wing using proper orthogonal decomposition and system identification techniques
DURMAZ, Oğuz; KARACA, H Deniz; ÖZEN, G Deniz; KASNAKOĞLU, COŞKU; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (2013-04-01)
A systematic approach for the dynamical modelling of the unsteady flow over a flapping wing is developed, which is based on instantaneous velocity field data of the flow collected using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The location and orientation of the airfoil is obtained by image processing and the airfoil is filled with proper velocity data. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to these post-processed images to compute POD modes and time co...
