Flow around a NACA0018 airfoil with a cavity and its dynamical response to acoustic forcing
Trapping of vortices in a cavity has been explored in recent years as a drag reduction measure for thick airfoils. If, however, trapping fails, then oscillation of the cavity flow may couple with elastic vibration modes of the airfoil. To examine this scenario, the effect of small amplitude vertical motion on the oscillation of the shear layer above the cavity is studied by acoustic forcing sim...
متن کاملSaturation of inertial instability in rotating planar shear flows
Inertial instability in a rotating shear flow redistributes absolute linear momentum in such a way as to neutralize the instability. In the absence of other instabilities, the final equilibrium can be predicted by a simple construction based on conservation of total momentum. Numerical simulations, invariant in the along-stream direction, suppress barotropic instability and allow only inertial ...
متن کاملThe shear-layer instability of a circular cylinder wake
A reinterpretation is made of previously published data concerning the frequency of the instability waves in the separated shear layer from a circular cylinder for Reynolds numbers in the range 103–105. An accurate fit to the observed variation can be achieved using a piecewise fit based on theoretical and empirical arguments. A logical conclusion is that the ratio of the frequency of the insta...
متن کاملRole of shear layer instability in the transition of boundary layer on a bluff body
The boundary layer on a circular cylinder undergoes a transition to turbulence at, approximately, Re=2 x 105. This is accompanied with a significant reduction in drag. Using a stabilized finite element formulation, we have conducted two-dimensional computations for flow past a cylinder using a very fine mesh close to it. It has been shown by researchers earlier that the genesis and formation of...
متن کاملOn vortex shedding from an airfoil in low-Reynolds-number flows
Development of coherent structures in the separated shear layer and wake of an airfoil in low-Reynolds-number flows was studied experimentally for a range of airfoil chord Reynolds numbers, 55×10 Rec 210×10, and three angles of attack, α=0◦, 5◦ and 10◦. To illustrate the effect of separated shear layer development on the characteristics of coherent structures, experiments were conducted for two...
