Hi,

 

How to perform quasi-steady aerodynamic analysis of a flapping foil using Ansys Fluent? I am concerned about problem setup, flow conditions etc.

This is not what I am looking. What do I want to know is actually a Quasi-steady simulation, and how to do in Ansys Fluent? Your shared link is unsteady simulation.

For Quadi-steady state you might need to use parametrisation.
An example:

what actually quasi-steady means? How to interpret the parametric results in this case?

[Raef.Kobeissi]

Quasi-steady state is when we observe a case under steady state condition (variables are not time-dependent) but at the same time we observe the variation and the development of the case under different boundary conditions or geometeic changes. (Parametrisation)
