  • In order to solve the problem of accurate numerical simulation of trailing edge morphing motion of a camber morphing airfoil, a spatiotemporal surface fitting method based on two-dimensional polynomial is proposed, which could accurately simulate the space-time position of the morphing trailing edge.On this basis, the numerical simulation method of the boundary motion caused by airfoil pitching motion and trailing edge morphing is developed in OpenFOAM, and the aerodynamic forces of the coupled motions of the airfoil are calculated. The results show that trailing edge motion has a significant influence on the lift and drag characteristics of the airfoil pitching motion, the effect of nonlinear deformation is 6%-10% greater than that of linear deformation in airfoil large-amplitude pitch motion. Meanwhile, the influence of phase difference between airfoil pitch motion and trailing edge motion on aerodynamic characteristics is discussed in this paper. In particular, when phase difference is 180 degree, trailing edge motion increases the maximum lift by 50.3% as well as the time-averaged lift by 34.6%. When phase difference is 0 degree, trailing edge motion reduces the maximum drag by 39.7% as well as the time-averaged drag by 30.2%. The maximum lift-drag ratio is increased by 22.3% and time-averaged lift-drag ratio by 16.8%. Meanwhile, during the airfoil pitching motion, negative drag coefficient is observed and the inducement is discussed. The above results provide important reference for the design of control law based on camber morphing airfoil.
