Numerical Study of the Aerodynamic Performance of Naca 0012 in the Presence of an Unsteady Heat Source
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this paper is to study the effect of an unsteady moving heat source on the aerodynamic performance of an NACA 0012 airfoil section, with particular focus on the lift and drag coefficients. The compressible Navier–Stokes equations are solved using a finite volume method as well as Spalart-Allmaras Model for turbulence simulation. The heat source periodically moves over the lower surface of the airfoil in the downstream direction. The numerical results show how the drag and lift coefficient strongly depend upon the velocity of the source. For a constant source power, a progressive improvement in the mean values of lift and drag coefficients is observed as velocity increases.

Today, Flapping Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) are used in many different applications. Reynolds Number for this kind of aerial vehicle is about 104 ~ 105 which shows dominancy of inertial effects in comparison of viscous effects in flow field except adjacent of the solid boundaries. Due to periodic flapping stroke, fluid flow is unsteady. In addition, these creatures have some complexities in kin...
