title = "Propulsion efficiency of flapping flight robots",
abstract = "Flapping wing technologies have been successfully applied to robots either flying in the air or gliding through the water owing to the unique advantages of flapping flight under small Re conditions. Propulsion efficiency of flapping-twisting compound motion wings are analyzed in the present study. Actuator disc theory and undulating wave theory are utilized to model the wings' propulsion efficiency, and the present method is verified by a Lattice Boltzmann method(LBM) based code, on an 800mm wing-span virtual flapping wing model. Compared with conventional methods including unsteady method, vortex lattice method or numerical method, the present method is much simpler and relates basic design parameters of flapping wings directly to the efficiency output. In this way, the present method provides a macroscopic view towards propulsion mechanisms of flapping wings, and has the potential to greatly accelerates the process of flapping wing robots' first period design, which usually rely on experience or parameters adopted from flapping flight creatures.",
