摘要
仿生机器鱼作为一种高效、高机动的水下机器人,得到了科研人员的广泛关注,对BCF方式机器鱼尾鳍推进效率的研究是其中的重点方向。目前对尾鳍推进效率的优化研究,大多局限于尾鳍单一参数的优化,这与自然鱼类的游动状态相差甚远,因而不能真正达到推进效率最大化的目的。本文提出了尾鳍多参数优化方案,通过对尾鳍转动频率、摆动幅值、击水角度和摆动周期等参数的联合优化,得到一组特定游速下的参数值,结果表明本研究对象在游速0.6L m/s时(L为体长),数值计算推进效率为65.7%,仿真推进效率为64.3%的,均大于目前单一参数的优化结果,充分体现了尾鳍多参数配合的优越性。本文的研究,对提高仿生机器鱼的推进效率具有积极作用。
As a highly efficient and highly maneuverable underwater robot, fish-like robot has been widely concerned by researchers, research on the propulsion efficiency of caudal fin about the body and/or caudal fin(BCF) fish-like robot is one of the direction. The present research on the propulsion efficiency is limited to a single parameter optimization of the caudal fin, which is worse than the natural fish swimming, so it cannot achieve the purpose of maximizing the efficiency. Aiming at these problems, a method of multi parameters optimization of the caudal fin was put forward in this paper. And a set of parameters for a specific speed was presented by the joint optimization of rotation frequency, swing amplitude, angle of attack, and swing cycle. The simulation results show that when the velocity is 0.6L m/s(L is the body length), its propulsive efficiency is 64.3%, the numerical calculation propulsion efficiency is 65.7%, which illustrates that the superiority of the caudal fin with multiple matching parameters. The research has a positive effect on improving the propulsive efficiency of a fish-like robot.
