    Abstract
  • The passive flapping foil mechanism of a wave glider is the key module that provides forward driving, and its propulsion efficiency directly affects the wave glider’s forward speed and position control accuracy. In this study, a complete analysis framework of the passive flapping foil propulsion efficiency was built, and a computational fluid dynamic(CFD) simulation model of the passive flapping foil propulsion motion is established. Simulation research on the passive flapping foil loaded with torsion spring under second-level sea state was conducted, and some simulation data were verified by experiments. The CFD simulation results show that the torsion spring stiffness has a significant impact on the propulsion performance of the passive flapping foil, and the passive flapping foil had a higher propulsion efficiency and speed when the torsion spring stiffness was 6 N·m·rad-1 in the second-level sea state. This study shows that the CFD simulation and experimental data follow the same trend, and the reliability of the CFD simulation model is high, which has guiding significance for the design of the wave glider’s passive-flapping foil mechanism.
