description An innovative morphing scheme, i.e., dynamical chordwise retracting and stretching, has been proposed for flapping wings. Its aerodynamic effects have been investigated based on a plunging two-dimensional flat wing. The conclusive results suggest that the novel morphing scheme can help to enhance the power utilization efficiency of flapping wings in forward motions. Plunging wings equipped with the novel morphing scheme can generate more thrust for a given power consumption or consume less power for a given thrust generation compared with their non-morphing counterparts. Moreover, the morphing scheme tends to function more positively as the defined morphing amplitude increases. In the currently covered parameter spaces, the largest peak propulsive efficiency improvements induced by the morphing scheme are 12.3% at Re = 15 × 104 and 10.8% at Re = 5 × 104, respectively. Examination of the flow structures around the plunging wings reveals that dynamical chordwise retracting and stretching of the wing can ameliorate the vortex distribution, which could account for the propulsive property changes caused by the morphing scheme. The current study may have yielded an inspiring and prospective scheme for enhancing the propulsive capacity of micro-flapping-wing aerial and underwater robots.
