Examination of Wing Profile Yield Inspired by The Fins of Humpback Whale with CFD Analysis

Year 2017, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 15 - 20, 25.08.2017

Abstract

Depending on the survival of living beings and ecosystems existing in nature, the systems they contain has a near perfect state. This makes it possible to find the most appropriate solution by mimicking nature and life in the solution of many problems faced by mankind. The aim of this study was to comparison of the profile of the tubercle profile, inspired by the fins of the humpback whale, with the profile of the flat wing in terms of efficiency at different temperature, pressure and velocity conditions, used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software.

Kambur Balina’nın Yüzgeçlerinden Esinlenerek Oluşturulan Kanat Profil Veriminin CFD Analizi ile İncelemesi

Year 2017, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 15 - 20, 25.08.2017

Abstract

Doğada var olan canlı varlıkların yaşama ve ekosisteme bağlı olarak, içerdikleri sistemler mükemmele yakın bir hal almıştır. Bu durum insanlığın karşılaştığı birçok problemin çözümünde doğayı ve canlıyı taklit ederek en uygun çözümü bulmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği (CFD) programı aracılığı ile kambur balinanın yüzgeçlerinden esinlenerek oluşturulan tüberküllü kanat profilinin düz kanat profili ile farklı sıcaklık, basınç ve hız koşullarında verim açısından karşılaştırılması olarak belirlenmiştir.
