New Kinematic of Droop-Nose Leading-Edge (DNLE) to Increase the Extracted Power by Flapping Wing
摘要
To boost the output power of flapping turbine, this investigation suggests a new kinematic for a Droop-Nose Leading-Edge (DNLE). The DNLE hangs down rapidly- twice faster the main airfoil- at the second quarter of the flapping cycle which increases drag force and therefore, the power extracted by horizontal motion
