信天翁近海面飞行时的气动力研究

针对信天翁近海面的飞行条件,研究信天翁能在大风浪中高效飞行的力学机理.将信天翁简化为二维机翼,采用势流理论的面元方法,重点研究了波浪的有益干扰.给出了信天翁在匀速固定高度飞行和自由飞行两种状态下的波浪扰动力.计算结果表明:信天翁的飞行效率不仅取决于飞行的高度和速度,而且取决于浪高和波长;在大风浪下信天翁可以从波浪有益干扰中获得推力来抵消部分飞行阻力,提高飞行效能.     

AERODYNAMIC FORCES ACTING ON AN ALBATROSS FLYING ABOVE SEA-WAVES

IntroductionIt was observed long time ago that the large sea bird such as albatross has excellent flightskills.The albatross can keep its soaring for a long time even in rough sea without flappingwings.This problemwas discussed byWood C.J.[1].He supposed …
