Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Plunging Airfoil under Gusty Environment
Abstract It is known that plunging airfoil can produce both lift and thrust with certain combination of plunging amplitude and frequency. Motivated by our interest in micro air vehicles (MAVs), we utilize a NavierStokes equation solver to investigate the aerodynamics of a flapping airfoil. The roles of the plunging and pitching amplitude and frequency, and Strouhal number are studied. For a sym...
متن کاملAerodynamic Hysteresis of a Low- Reynolds-Number Airfoil
L OW-REYNOLDS-NUMBER airfoil aerodynamics is important for bothmilitary and civilian applications. The applications include propellers, sailplanes, ultralight man-carrying/man-powered aircraft, high-altitude vehicles, wind turbines, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and micro air vehicles (MAVs). For the applications just listed, the combination of small length scale and low flight velocities re...
متن کاملLaminarFlowSeparation andTransition on a Low-Reynolds-Number Airfoil
A NUMBER of military and civilian applications require efficient operation of airfoils in low chord Reynolds numbers. The applications include propellers, sailplanes, ultralight mancarrying/man-powered aircraft, high-altitude vehicles, wind turbines, unmanned aerial vehicles, and micro air vehicles. Careful management of boundary layers on low-Reynolds-number airfoils is required to alleviate t...
متن کاملLow Reynolds Number Airfoil Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm
The optimization of a low Reynolds number airfoil for use in small wind turbines is carried out using Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization. With the aim of creating a roughness insensitive airfoil for the tip region of turbine blades, a multi-objective genetic algorithm code is developed. A review of existing parameterization and optimization methods are presented along with the strategies appli...
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...
