The research explores the biomimetic qualities of owl wing morphology, particularly its sound-reducing and aerodynamic capabilities, in comparison with a conventional airfoil. Owl wings are known for their unique saw-tooth-like serrations along the leading edge, which play a crucial role in reducing noise by dissipating eddy flow and mitigating turbulence-induced sound.

摘要

The research explores the biomimetic qualities of owl wing morphology, particularly its sound-reducing and aerodynamic capabilities, in comparison with a conventional airfoil. Owl wings are known for their unique saw-tooth-like serrations along the leading edge, which play a crucial role in reducing noise by dissipating eddy flow and mitigating turbulence-induced sound. To replicate this effect, serrations were incorporated into the leading edge of a NACA 63-412 airfoil. A thorough numerical analysis was conducted on both the standard and serrated airfoils at various angles of attack (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12°), evaluating both aerodynamic and acoustic performance. The results revealed a significant reduction in sound production across different flow conditions for the serrated airfoil, underscoring the effectiveness of this biomimetic adaptation.
