Effects of Unequal Pitch and Plunge Airfoil Motion Frequency on Aerodynamic Response
Departing from mainstream pitching/plunging airfoil literature, we consider scenarios where the frequencies of the plunge and the pitch are not equal. The motivation is, first, consideration of flows with very large excursions in total angle of attack, for assessment of motion time history effects; and second, an attempt to model the gust response of flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicles by consider...
متن کاملEffect of Amplitude and Mean Angle of Attack on the Unsteady Surface Pressure of a Pitching Airfoil
Details of pressure distributions, on a two dimensional airfoil oscillating in pitch through stall, in a 0.8 0.8 m low-speed wind tunnel are presented. Pitching occurred about the airfoils quarter-chord axis. Pitch rate, Reynolds number, and oscillation amplitudes were varied to determine the effects on pressure and lift distributions. It was found that mean angle of attack and pitching amplitu...
متن کاملModeling the unsteady aerodynamic forces on small-scale wings
The goal of this work is to develop low order dynamical systems models for the unsteady aerodynamic forces on small wings and to better understand the physical characteristics of unsteady laminar separation. Reduced order models for a fixed, high angle of attack flat plate are obtained through Galerkin projection of the governing Navier-Stokes equations onto POD modes. Projected models are comp...
متن کاملAerodynamic Optimization of an Airfoil Using Gradient Based Method
Abstract. A gradient based method is presented for optimization of an airfoil configuration. The flow is governed by two dimensional, compressible Euler equations. A finite volume code based on unstructured grid is developed to solve the equations. The procedure is carried out for optimizing an airfoil with initial configuration of NACA 0012. The advantage of this technique over the other gradi...
متن کاملUnsteady Aerodynamics and Trailing-edge Vortex Sheet of An Airfoil
Unsteady flow models of wings and airfoils have been studied to understand the aerodynamic performance of natural flyers and provide improved maneuverability for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). Vortex methods have been extensively applied to reduce the dimensionality of these aerodynamic models, based on the proper estimation of the distribution and evolution of the vortices in the wake. In such ...
