| Popis: | In the present work, we investigate dynamic interaction and response of flexible bio-inspired morphing wing structure to a low Reynolds aerodynamic load. The aspects of inspiration are as follows. First, the segmentation of the wing into rigid and flexible segments. Considering a leading edge constitution of bone and muscle. In addition to a flexible trailing edge composed of feathers. Second, the material properties provided by experimental biology in literature are adopted such as the bending stiffness and Young's modulus. The development of numerical models allowing non uniform distribution of properties are developed and implemented into an OpenFoam finite volume solver that couples fluid dynamics to a structural solid dynamics solver through the FSI interface. In the course of this work, the validation is performed for a NACA6409 airfoil considering a rigid segment of 40\% and flexible segment 60\% chord length in order to test the aero-structure behavior for an aerodynamic load of air flow at low Reynolds number of $\boldsymbol{5\times 10^5}$ for the fluid and feather inspired material properties. The results suggest that bio-inspired techniques can be reproduced in engineering configurations.
