<p>The low Reynolds number aerodynamics of the flapping wing Micro-Air Vehicle  (MAV) developed at NPS by Max Platzer and Kevin Jones was studied numerically. The  dynamic mesh simulation model of the full multi-wing configuration, which consists of a  fixed wing and a pair of aft position, opposed pitch/ plunge flapping wings was  developed using an advanced CFD code that is available commercially. The unsteady  flow fields, wake structures and forces were determined by solving the incompressible  Navier-Stokes equations, and the results were compared to past experimental  observations. The results were encouraging and provided impetus for future  computational optimization studies on the NPS flapping wing MAV.
