新型仿生波浪滑翔器水翼设计与水动性能研究

Hydrofoil Design and Hydrodynamic Performance Study of a New Type of Bionic Wave Glider

水翼是波浪滑翔器波浪能转换的核心装置,其外形设计直接影响推进效果。参考海龟水中姿态和前肢外形,设计了一种新型仿生波浪滑翔器水翼。基于ANSYS CFX软件对该水翼进行了模拟分析,通过与常规水翼的表面流场及受力进行对比,验证了仿生水翼的推进性能,为提升波浪滑翔器航速提供了参考。

The hydrofoil is the core device in wave glider for wave energy conversion, its shape design directly affects the propulsion effect. A new type of bionic hydrofoil for wave glider was designed by referencing the turtle pose in the water and its forelimb shape. The hydrofoil was simulated and analyzed based on ANSYS CFX software, and the propulsion performance of the bionic hydrofoil was verified by comparing with the surface flow field and the stress of the conventional hydrofoil. It may provide a reference for improving the speed of the wave glider.
