A parametric study on a bio-inspired continuously morphing trailing edge

Inspired by the wave-like camber variation in the trailing edge feathers of large birds, the aerodynamic impact of similar variations in the geometry of morphing wings is investigated. The scope of this problem is reduced by exploring parametrically generated geometries derived from an existing morphing wing design, namely the Spanwise Morphing Trailing Edge (SMTE), which is actuated via conformally integrated Macro Fiber Composites (MFCs). Utilizing this design, the deformation of the trailing edge of the SMTE is parameterized as a function of the spanwise location using a sinusoidal relationship. The aerodynamic responses are then obtained using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, while the efficacy of the proposed approach is explored using a Pareto-like frontier approach.
