INERTIAL-CIRCULATING PRINCIPLE OF SWIMMING AND FLIGHT OF HYDRO- AND AEROBIONTS. PART 1

Abstract

For the case of modeling in the nonlinear ideal formulation of oscillations of an infinitely thin profile of the wing-propulsion, three components of the thrust force coefficient were distinguished - inertial, circulating, and vortex. The contribution to the traction force of each of the obtained components is investigated and the mechanisms of wing traction force formation at different types of oscillations are explained. It is revealed that the inertial-circulating principle underlies the work of the wing-propulsion. The inductive effect of the vortex trail on the traction force is small and negative.
