Abstract:
      In this paper,the local domain-free discretization(DFD) method was applied to simulate flapping-wing flows.The flow variables at an exterior dependent point are evaluated by extrapolation along the wall normal direction,and the boundary conditions are imposed at the same time.Using this method,moving-boundary flows can be simulated on a fixed grid,and at each time step there is no need to update the grid to follow the motion of a body.We simulated flows over a wing-wing model of three flapping modes.The computed results of the time history of lift and drag coefficients agree well with experiment data in the literature and verify the reliability of the local DFD method for complex moving-boundary problems.Finally,a flow around wing-body combination was simulated,and vortex structures and flight mechanisms were analyzed in detail.
