The low Reynolds number aerodynamics at high angle of attack is crucial for the design of unmanned aerial vehicles and wind turbine blades. The current study aims to enhance the insight on the near wake of airfoils normal to free stream. The near wake structure on a NACA 0012 airfoil normal to free-stream is measured with particle image velocimetry in the range of Reynolds number 7000 to 20000. The velocity and vorticity fields of the wake structures are studied and further analysis with Proper Orthogonal Decomposition is employed. The flow-fields are found to be Reynolds number independent.

Experimental Investigation of Aerodynamics of Flapping-Wing Micro-Air-Vehicle by Force and Flow-Field Measurements
Deng, Shuanghou; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, Bas (2016-02-01)
This study explores the aerodynamic characteristics of a flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle (MAV) in hovering configuration by means of force and flowfield measurements. The effects of flapping frequency and wing geometry on force generation were examined using a miniature six-component force sensor. Additional high-speed imaging allowed identification of the notable different deformation characteristics of the flexible wings under vacuum condition in comparison to their behavior in air, illustrating the re...
Experimental investigation of the effects of tip-injection on the aerodynamic loads and wake characteristics of a model horizontal axis wind turbine rotor
Abdulrahim, Anas; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
In this study, tip injection is implemented on a model Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) rotor to investigate the power and thrust coefficient variations as well as the wake characteristics. The model wind turbine has a 0.95 m diameter 3-bladed rotor with non-linearly twisted and tapered blades that has NREL S826 profile. The nacelle, hub and the blades are specifically designed to allow pressurized air to pass through and get injected from the tips while the rotor is rotating. The experiments are perform...
Genetic Algorithm based aerodynamic shape optimization tool for wind turbine blades and its implementation to helicopter blades
Polat, Özge; Sezer-uzol, Nilay; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2014-01-01)
This study presents a methodology first built up for the aerodynamic shape optimization for wind turbine rotors and its modified version for a helicopter rotor in hover. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) coupled with an in-house Blade Element Momentum (BEM) tool is used in the design optimization process. The wind turbine blade optimization studies are performed for maximizing the power production at a given wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter, while for the helicopter blade optimization in hover, figure of...
Experimental Investigation of Optimal Gap Distance between Rotors of a Quadrotor UAV
Kaya, Dilber Derya; Kutay, Ali Türker; Tekinalp, Ozan (2017-06-09)
The effect of spacing between the rotors of a quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in hovering flight is investigated. Experiments are conducted to obtain a mathematical relation between the diameter of the rotor and gap distance between each rotor. Constraints such as the maximum thrust force and minimum energy consumption are imposed. Several rotors having different sizes are tested at various RPMs with a changing gap distances, and total thrust produced by four rotors is measured. The results are give...
FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF UNIFORM AND ASYMMETRIC COMPOSITE PRETWISTED ROTATING THIN WALLED BEAM
Farsadi, Touraj; Şener, Özgün; Kayran, Altan (2017-11-09)
Composite pretwisted rotating thin walled beams (TWB) can be used as the structural model for composite helicopter and wind turbine blades for the study of aeroelastic response of the blades. In the present study, semi-analytical solution is performed for the free vibration analysis of uniform and asymmetric composite pretwisted rotating TWB. The approximation of the Green-Lagrange strain tensor is adopted to derive the strain field of the system. The Euler Lagrange governing equations of the dynamic system...
