Biomimétisme : la nature est une source d'inspiration évident et idéalement pour travailler l'aérodynamisme de profils, surfaces portantes et revêtements, dans de nombreuses industries, de l'aéronautique à l'automobile en passant par l'éolien ou la construction. Bioxegy vous livre ses analyses. Biomimicry & aerodynamics: A commonplace The challenge is the same in many industries, particularly in aeronautics or in the automotive industries: the future of these sectors depend largely on their ability to reduce the environmental impact of their technologies, particularly in regard to CO2 emissions. An essential lever: improving aerodynamic finesse. Aerostructures, bodywork, airfoils, propellers and blades: biomimicry is an ideal tool of technological design to review or improve industrial methods and approaches concerning aerodynamics . Many species of birds, insects or even aquatic animals have amazing movement abilities. They are juggling effort, speed and endurance. Biomimicry, which is not new to the field, seeks to understand how these forms and coatings present in nature can enlighten the adoption of new design approaches for industrial structures and components. The goal: reduce drag, improve aerodynamic finesse, reduce turbulence vortex, stabilize movement, reduce friction,... The aeronautics industry is one of the most advanced in terms of bio-inspiration: winglets inspired by large raptors (-4% consumption), aerodynamic varnishes inspired by the skin of sharks (-2% consumption). The use cases are already numerous. There are still many opportunities to explore. Here is a particularly striking example. The humpback whale is a cetacean of impressive size: 13 to 15 meters long and nearly 40 tons. Despite this, it is a particularly agile marine animal , capable of hunting herring or salmon: it is capable of sharp turns to trap or chase its prey. This size vs. agility duality surprises marine biologists. They discover that part of the mystery lies in the humpback whale's anatomical features . Indeed, it owes its agility to the tubercles present on the leading edges of its fins. A peculiarity that defies common sense : how can such a deformed and non-smooth surface be so hydro- and aerodynamic? Since then, the aerodynamic effects of these protuberances have been widely studied: Tubercles reduce drag by almost 8%. They also accompany the flow of air so as to delay the stall and to increase its angle by almost 40%! Other advantages, although not demonstrated to date, have been mentionned: reduction of noise pollution and increase in lift. Diagrams produced by the Bioxegy team, as part of an infrastructure project carried out with one of our partners. The tubercles of the fins, placed upstream of the phalanges on the leading edge, allow, among other things, to stabilise and group together the disturbing vortices. ©Bioxegy | Right diagram partly based on figures from: True & William, the whalebone whales of the western North Atlantic, 1904 This discovery has since led to many bio-inspired technologies: The ZIPP company, expert manufacturer of bicycle wheels, opted for a design that reproduces the protrusions of the fin to improve the aerodynamics and stability of the whole structure: a patented technology that has significantly reduced the drag experienced by the wheel. In Canada, one of the experts who highlighted the aerodynamic phenomena created by tubercles launched the company WhalePower. It has designed a bio-inspired wind turbine blade that uses the principle of protrusion on the leading edge to improve the performance of the airfoil. Result: the wind turbine thus equipped has a 20% higher yield and is activated by weaker wind forces.

Pour réduire la consommation des véhicules, les constructeurs doivent impérativement travailler son aérodynamisme. Le biomimétisme permet de repenser les formes, les profils et les revêtements pour améliorer la pénétration du véhicule dans l'air. Biomimicry to improve automobile aerodynamics: the art of reducing friction The correlation is inevitable: to reduce a vehicle's emissions, you must find a way to reduce its consumption. The work on shapes and coatings makes it possible to optimise the aerodynamics of the vehicle and the air profile. A 10% reduction in the drag coefficient thus allows a reduction in consumption of around 2% in the new European driving cycle, and up to almost 5% at 130 km/h on the motorway. Another major issue linked to this theme concerns the handling of the vehicle and the energy efficiency of the tires. The best performing tires have the lowest rolling resistance possible. This depends, among other things, on aerodynamic resistance, mass, structure and shape of the tread, micro-slip and pressure level. By minimising this resistance, the energy required to move the vehicle is minimised. How can we rethink the design and components of vehicles to improve their air penetration? Nature has unrivaled know-how in this area: To hunt or defend themselves, to be mobile over short distances or long distances, to be fast or enduring, animals must have extremely optimised movement techniques, whatever their environment. To guarantee survival, it is also necessary to be able to minimise the effect. Each movement is therefore as simple as possible, intelligently thought out, stable and functional. In a universe where only the fastest or the most enduring can capture their prey, escape from their predators, or survive, the issue of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and reduction of friction is central. Nature works on form, on materials, on surfaces. The schemes are as varied as the species. These natural properties, these strategies, form a source of very effective solutions and approaches to reduce the air resistance of a vehicle. Biomimicry has been carefully studied for several years now by aeronautical manufacturers, for whom each small reduction in friction can bring considerable fuel savings. Beyond the design of structures and materials for lightweight purposes , biomimicry can also unlock its full potential in the automobile in terms of aerodynamics. Thanks to a detailed understanding of the functions and techniques present in species, we can extrapolate these biological "best practices" to guide the design of vehicles, their shapes and component surfaces to optimise their aerodynamics and thus reduce consumption. Here too, Bioxegy offers you an overview of the bio-inspired applications already existing in this area and also discusses a certain number of avenues of interest! 1 Shark skin: a morphology optimised for rapid movement To study the optimisation of movement in nature, it is particularly relevant to focus on animals occupying the top of the food chain. What's better than watching sharks swim? Sharks are experts in controlling flow and can reach nearly a hundred km/h in water for certain species. Sharks manage to control the flow thanks to their morphology, more precisely thanks to their rough skin. This is made up of micro-grooves which create turbulence and which attract the water into hollows where the flow is then slowed down. Thanks to this, friction is reduced and drag is reduced. The flow disturbed on a small scale is modified on a large scale to make it favorable for the movement of the shark. Inspired by this mechanism called the Riblet effect, German researchers (DLR and Fraunhofer Institut) have managed to design a coating reproducing these micro-grooves to reduce aircraft drag. These varnishes are fitted to prototype aircraft of the German company Lufthansa. Completely transposable to automobiles, this principle was adopted in 2014 by Peugeot. Presented at the Paris Motor Show, the Peugeot Exalt concept car was covered at the rear by the same type of covering inspired by shark skin. This made it possible to reduce the resistance to advancement and considerably improve the drag coefficient.

If so, looking out the porthole, you have surely already noticed these little growths at the tips of the wings? Called winglets, these vertical fins have become widespread throughout the aeronautical sector. They may seem insignificant, yet they play a major role in the aerodynamics of aircraft. We must once again thank a pioneer of biomimicry. In the early 1970s, NASA engineer Richard Whitcomb became interested in the behaviour of large raptors. They adapt the shape of their wings to form curvatures on their tips. These help reduce turbulence and vortices that form in the wake of the wing. Following this principle, he tested the first winglets on a US Army Boeing. These fins help reduce the vortices that appear at the end of an airplane wing. This turbulence is responsible for induced drag, one of the major components of the total drag of an aircraft. The winglets that equip commercial and military aircraft today therefore make it possible to improve the aerodynamics of the device and reduce consumption by around 3 to 4% . A considerable economic and environmental gain given the scales considered. Biomimicry applied to aerodynamics could bring the same type of improvements to the automotive sector, to better think about the penetration profile of vehicles and understand how to control air flows.

In the early 1990s, engineer Eiji Nakatsu was responsible for developping new trains for the Shinkansen, the Japanese TGV. It is faced with a major problem: the density of tunnels on the new lines is high. However, launched at full speed in these tunnels, the trains compress the air that is present, which transforms into a shock wave at the exit. A nuisance for passengers and even some local residents. How do we remove these sound booms? E.Nakatsu also happens to be an ornithologist. He knows that the kingfisher is a specialist in moving from a sparse environment to a dense environment. This bird dives head first at more than 50 km/h in lakes and ponds to hunt small fish. To avoid concussion and to avoid alerting its prey, entry into the water must be as gentle as possible. E.Nakatsu therefore asks his teams to reproduce the morphology of the kingfisher's beak and apply it to the head of the Shinkansen 500 locomotive in development. Measuring more than 10m long at the front, this new train will no longer experience shock wave problems. The bio-inspired design of the locomotive will allow a speed gain of 10 km/h and above all will reduce electricity consumption by around 15%! E.Nakatsu even went so far as to ask his engineers to take inspiration from the serrated feathers of the owl, this very silent predator, to equip the pantographs with sound attenuation systems.

Le biomimétisme mise sur l'ingéniosité du vivant pour inspirer les technologies et services d'avenir. Bioxegy est l'agence experte et pionnière du biomimétisme en France. Avec notre bureau d'étude, osez l'innovation et la R&D bio-inspirée ! Biomimicry: Definition, issues, sectors and trends What is biomimicry? Officially, biomimicry is defined as technical imitation processes, compositions, forms or even interactions of different biological systems found in nature , from the biomolecular to the ecosystem scale. In essence, biomimicry relies on intelligence and the sobriety of biological principles for impactful design, sober and sustainable technologies. More broadly, we can sometimes use the notion of bio-inspiration which encompasses all sciences inspired by living organisms in the design of new systems. At Bioxegy , we use biomimicry as a R&D approach inspired by the ingenuity of the mechanisms, properties and functions of living things to innovate and shape efficient and sustainable technologies. Discover our profession Biomimicry's promise Biomimicry's pormise is to take advantage of the largest R&D laboratory: Nature . It offers us the most beautiful evidence: 3.8 billion years of innovation at your fingertips. Living things have had time to find appropriate and diversified solutions to respond to a wide range of challenges , and ensure the survival of several tens of millions of different species, in constrained environments. The result is a prodigious pool of ideas and sophisticated, optimised and sober approaches . An unprecedented opportunity to innovate and which is right before our eyes! The powerful industrial and scientific growth of biomimicry Bio-inspiration is not new, it is a research method that began to prove itself several decades ago! There are many very emblematic examples of biomimicry , we can cite the invention of velcro in the 1950s which is directly inspired by burdock seeds. But before that, Leonardo da Vinci did not wait for the formalisation of biomimicry to draw inspiration from nature for his inventions! However, it was only from the 1990s that interest in bio-inspired innovation exploded both in industry and in research , mainly thanks to Janine Benyus which formalised biomimicry. This American scientist founded the Biomimicry Institute in the United States in 2006 to further promote biomimicry. Today, biomimicry is the subject of real international scientific craze . Competition is intense in the corridors of the most prestigious universities and research centers in the world, which are developing ever more promising expertise. The Da Vinci Index was even created to measure global activity of biomimicry, whether in terms of research articles or commercial applications, largely dominated by China. The latest highlight to date: the CNRS has included biomimicry as part of its strategic priorities for 2023. Discover the emblematic technologies Biomimicry: areas and levers of application The technological diversity of nature makes biomimicry a profoundly cross-disciplinary lever for innovation . From aeronautics to health, including construction, energy, IT and even luxury: biomimicry is an approach that can theoretically be applied to all sectors of activity. A true toolbox, bio-inspiration makes it possible to respond to precise technological challenges (problem solving), to carry out prospective work and aim for breakthrough innovation (new product introduction) but also to improve existing technologies via incremental innovation (re-engineering). A single philosophy: get inspired of the wisdom of biological systems to innovate more intelligently . And this wisdom applies to almost every industry, you can browse examples by clicking the button below! Find out more about the application sectors Biomimicry: strong international enthusiasm Outside France, biomimicry is growing strongly. We can cite the example of NASA which set up the V.I.N.E network . to bring together researchers working in biomimicry by sharing analysis tools and initiating working groups. They even came up with a bio-inspired flying vehicle project to explore Venus' atmosphere! Staying in the space field, it is not just the Americans who are banking on biomimicry. Indeed, the ESA , the European Space Agency, initiated the BIOINSPACED project which consists of developing bio-inspired solutions to deorbit space debris . As you can see, the whole world is starting to turn towards nature to innovate , even in areas as complex as space. The promises and possibilities of biomimicry are so vast that we have only scratched the surface! This development is closely accompanied, biomimicry gives rise to research work standardisation by AFNOR (French Association for Standardisation) or the ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) in order to provide a framework for this growth. Bio-inspired atmospheric vehicle © Javid Bayandor Biomimicry: a profession of the future Engineers who work in biomimicry know how to understand the complexity of the world around us as a whole. Innovating with inspiration from nature means knowing how to break down the mechanisms of nature to better transpose them to human technologies! At Bioxegy , our biomimetic engineers appeal to their wide range of skills ranging from mechanics to chemistry, including computer science, materials, and even biology . Everything is completed by an irreducible passion for how the world around them works and for innovation. This global understanding of societal issues and living organisms makes this profession one of the most complete in order to reconcile technical progress and sustainability , while drawing inspiration from the largest pool of adaptive mechanisms on the planet. However, there are still no studies specifically focused on biomimicry in France. Our engineers therefore come from different backgrounds and use their respective skills to make biomimicry an increasingly democratised R&D method! Discover the development of the profession of biomimetic engineer Biomimicry: decipher and draw inspiration from living things Nature is infinitely complex and orchestrates the lives of billions of organisms living in sophisticated and changing ecosystems. The mechanisms of evolution have therefore endowed species with many functions and techniques to face their daily lives and meet their physiological needs.
