Abstract:
      A projected immersed boundary method is used to simulate a flapping foil,which is a two-dimensional NACA0012 hydrofoil with Reynolds number Re=800.The influence of the input power in different flapping ways is studied.The maximum pendulum angle θ0 is 75°,the frequency f is from 0.1 Hz to 0.2 Hz and the non-sinusoidal pendulum parameter is from one to three.The results show that,firstly,the averaged input-power coefficient increases with parameters f and β,however,it undergoes a rapid ascent when f>0.16 Hz,β>2.5.Secondly,the maximum input-power coefficient also increases with β at f=0.16 Hz,moreover,the location of maximum input-power coefficient is related to β.Finally,lift force and drag force are connected with trailing edge vortex. Specifically,the negative vortex on the top surface produces resistance,and the negative vortex on the bottom surface induces lift force,which affects the input power of the flapping hydrofoil.
