Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Plunging Airfoil under Gusty Environment
Abstract It is known that plunging airfoil can produce both lift and thrust with certain combination of plunging amplitude and frequency. Motivated by our interest in micro air vehicles (MAVs), we utilize a NavierStokes equation solver to investigate the aerodynamics of a flapping airfoil. The roles of the plunging and pitching amplitude and frequency, and Strouhal number are studied. For a sym...
متن کاملLaminarFlowSeparation andTransition on a Low-Reynolds-Number Airfoil
A NUMBER of military and civilian applications require efficient operation of airfoils in low chord Reynolds numbers. The applications include propellers, sailplanes, ultralight mancarrying/man-powered aircraft, high-altitude vehicles, wind turbines, unmanned aerial vehicles, and micro air vehicles. Careful management of boundary layers on low-Reynolds-number airfoils is required to alleviate t...
متن کاملVortex Mode Bifurcation and Lift Force of a Plunging Airfoil at Low Reynolds Numbers
Force and supporting particle image velocimetry measurements were performed on a plunging NACA 0012 airfoil at a Reynolds number of 10,000, at pre-stall, stall, and post-stall angles of attack. The lift coefficient for pre-stall and stall angles of attack at larger amplitudes showed abrupt bifurcations with the branch determined by initial conditions. With the frequency gradually increasing, ve...
متن کاملAerodynamic Hysteresis of a Low- Reynolds-Number Airfoil
L OW-REYNOLDS-NUMBER airfoil aerodynamics is important for bothmilitary and civilian applications. The applications include propellers, sailplanes, ultralight man-carrying/man-powered aircraft, high-altitude vehicles, wind turbines, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and micro air vehicles (MAVs). For the applications just listed, the combination of small length scale and low flight velocities re...
متن کاملUnsteady flow past a plunging airfoil
This paper presents simulations of unsteady flow past a plunging airfoil using the highorder spectral difference (SD) method. Both third-order and fourth-order SD methods are used on unstructured quadrilateral grids. The vortex shedding pattern of an airfoil in an oscillating plunge motion becomes asymmetric at a sufficiently high frequency. The SD method is able to capture this effect and reve...
