Control of Karman Vortex Street behind a Thin Airfoil at Low Reynolds Number
نویسندگان
چکیده
To control the Karman vortex street formed behind a thin airfoil at a certain incidence, a control cylinder was placed at the suction side apart from the airfoil in the downstream region. Both smoke visualization and hot-wire measurements confirmed that the Karman vortex street was completely suppressed. The mechanism for suppression of the vortex street was examined with a hot-wire survey.

Observation of Karman Vortex Street on Flowing Soap Film behind Cylinders at Low Reynolds Numbers
Introduction. The Karman-vortex street formed behind two-dimensional bluff bodies has attracted interest because of its beautiful flow pattern. It goes without saying that this beautifulness results from the alternative vortices regularly shed from the body. Vortex shedding induces aerodynamic force perpendicular to the mean flow. This force causing mechanical vibration of the model is accompan...
متن کاملHigh Reynolds Viscous Flow Simulation Past the Elliptical Airfoil by Random Vortex Blob
In this paper, numerical simulation for a two-dimensional viscous and incompressible flow past the elliptical airfoil is presented by Random Vortex Blob (RVB). RVB is a numerical technique to solve the incompressible, two-dimensional and unsteady Navier-Stocks equations by converting them to rotational non-primitive formulations. In this method, the velocity vector at a certain point can be cal...
متن کاملSimulation of Premixed Combustion Flow around Circular Cylinder using Hybrid Random Vortex
This research describes the unsteady two-dimensional reacting flows around a circular cylinder. The numerical solution combines the random vortex method for incompressible two-dimensional viscous fluid flow with a Simple Line Interface Calculation (SLIC) algorithm for the propagation of flame interface. To simplify the governing equations, two fundamental assumptions namely Low Mach Number and ...
متن کاملDirect numerical simulations of plunging airfoils wakes using spectral/hp element method
Plunging airfoils are investigated for applications such as Micro-Air Vehicles (MAVs) and bird and fish like propulsion. Plunging or flapping wings can provide more propulsive efficiency than that of fixed wings, especially at small to moderate Reynolds numbers, where the MAVs (due to their small size) operate. Furthermore, it has been observed that birds and insects rely on detaching and separ...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study of Stall Hysteresis of a Low-Reynolds-Number Airfoil
An experimental study was conducted to investigate static stall hysteresis of a NASA GA(W)-1 airfoil at the chord Reynolds number of Re = 162,000. In addition to mapping the surface pressure distribution around the airfoil, a digital PIV system was used to make detailed flowfield measurements to quantify the occurrence and behavior of laminar boundary layer separation and transition on the airf...
