Fig. A1. Effects of grid and time step on aerodynamic force production. (A) Grid
sensitive analysis for aerodynamic force coefficients over a flapping cycle.
Three grid systems are used: c, a coarse grid system (wing:
33x35x19, body: 33x35x35); fn, a fine grid system
(wing: 45x45x31, body: 45x47x95); and ft, a finest
grid system (wing: 45x45x31, body: 57x55x121). (B)
Time step sensitive analysis for aerodynamic force coefficients over a
flapping cycle. Two time steps are used: t1, time step dt=0.005; t2,
time step dt=0.0025.
