Flapping Wing CFD-FEA Simulation
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I need a coupled CFD + FEA study that captures how a flexible wing behaves while it flaps. The focus is on micro air vehicles, so the geometry will be small and the Reynolds numbers low to mid range.
Scope
• Build or adapt a simple but representative flexible wing model.
• Run a baseline structural solve, then embed it in a transient CFD domain so fluid–structure interaction is captured.
• Vary flapping frequency, a range of wing spans and chords set at regular intervals, and test the model in both laminar and turbulent inflow.
• Extract time-averaged and instantaneous lift, thrust, and deformation data.
Deliverables
1. A brief set-up report describing mesh, boundary conditions, material properties, and solver settings.
2. Post-processed plots (force histories, pressure contours, deformation snapshots) for every case.
3. A concise comparison table that highlights trends across sizes, frequencies, and flow regimes.
4. The final simulation files so I can re-run or extend the study.
Please keep the workflow lean—open-source or academic licences (e.g., OpenFOAM + CalculiX, or similar) are welcome as long as you can provide step-by-step commands and any scripts you write.
