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 کاملResonance of flexible flapping wings at low Reynolds number.
Using three-dimensional computer simulations, we examine hovering aerodynamics of flexible planar wings oscillating at resonance. We model flexible wings as tilted elastic plates whose sinusoidal plunging motion is imposed at the plate root. Our simulations reveal that large-amplitude resonance oscillations of elastic wings drastically enhance aerodynamic lift and efficiency of low-Reynolds-num...
متن کاملThe Lift and Drag on a Flat Plate at Low Reynolds Number via Variational Methods* By
The problem of determining the low Reynolds number lift and drag on a flat plate in Oseen flow is treated by the application of a variational principle due to Levine and Schwinger. This approach circumvents the difficulty which has limited previous results to drastically low values of the Reynolds number. In particular, an asymptotic form for the drag coefficient is derived, and found to be sui...
متن کاملDrag on a Flat Plate in Low-Reynolds-Number Gas Flows
Airflow over a flat plate at zero incidence is investigated as a function of the Reynolds number Re and the Mach number M under subsonic, low-Reynolds-number conditions. The flows are simulated using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method and the information preservation (IP) method that is a modified DSMC method developed for low-speed rarefied gas flows. Good agreement is obtained be...
متن کاملFlow Around Flapping Flexible Flat Plate Wings
This study investigates the unsteady flow phenomena generated from plunging wings with varying flexibility. The experiments were conducted in a wind tunnel with forward flight conditions at a chord based Reynolds number of 5300. The wings are fabricated out of homogeneous isotropic materials with values of 55 and 1702. The conditions of these experiments are matched to previous studies in a wat...
