Unsteady aerodynamics of a pitching NACA 0012 airfoil at low Reynolds number
Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (SAGE Publications, 2019-11-01)
The present paper aims to investigate numerically small amplitude oscillation of NACA 0012 airfoil at Re = 1000. The airfoil is sinusoidally pitching around the quarter chord point with 1 degrees pitch amplitude about a mean angle of attack. The computations are performed for mean angles of attack ranging from 0 degrees to 60 degrees and for pitching frequencies of 1 Hz and 4 Hz. The effect of the mean angle of attack and pitching frequency on the instantaneous forces as well as the vortex structure is inve...
Unsteady Aerodynamics of Flapping Airfoil in Hovering Flight at Low Reynolds Numbers
Farcy, Alain; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz (2005-01-13)
The major aim of flapping motion research is based on the understanding of the relation between the temporal and the spatial changes of the wake structure and the resulting instantaneous aerodynamic forces over the flapping wings. The essential physics of nonsteady airfoil problems can be observed from simplified two-dimensional experiments, and the interpretations of the behavior can be supported by theoretical or numerical models. The aim of this study is to find optimum parameters to generate maximum lif...
Unsteady Aerodynamic Calculations of Flapping Wing Motion
Akay, Büşra; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007)
The present thesis aims at shedding some light for future applications of μAVs by investigating the hovering mode of flight by flapping motion. In this study, a detailed numerical investigation is performed to investigate the effect of some geometrical parameters, such as the airfoil profile shapes, thickness and camber distributions and as well as the flapping motion kinematics on the aerodynamic force coefficients and vortex formation mechanisms at low Reynolds number. The numerical analysis tool is a DNS...
UNSTEADY AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A DUAL-ELEMENT AIRFOIL
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1994-05-01)
Unsteady aerodynamic behavior and load characteristics of a VR-7 slat/airfoil combination oscillating sinusoidally between 5-25 deg have been studied. The unsteady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved on a multiblock grid using an approximate factorization finite difference scheme. In the case of a single airfoil, a massive flow separation and formation of a strong vortex is observed. The vortex-induced suction and the shedding of the vortex into the wake is responsible for high aerodynamic load...
