Dynamic separation on a pitching and surging airfoil as a model for flow over vertical axis wind turbine blades
Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) blades undergo dynamic separation due to the large angle of attack variation they experience during a turbine rotation. The flow over a single blade was modeled using a sinusoidally pitching and surging airfoil in a constant free stream flow at a mean chord Reynolds number of 10. Two-dimensional, time resolved velocity fields were acquired using particle image ...
متن کاملDesign of a Pitching and Surging Point Absorber
P.S. FROG is a bi-directional (dipole-like) point-absorber, consisting of a floating flap or paddle, facing the waves and reacting against them by means of a large interior moving mass housed in an enlar ed section at the bottom (Fig. l). The dynamics were reported in 1986(1) , but have since been simplified by formulating them in terms of the motion in surge of the centre of wave pressure. It ...
متن کاملUnsteady flow past a plunging airfoil
This paper presents simulations of unsteady flow past a plunging airfoil using the highorder spectral difference (SD) method. Both third-order and fourth-order SD methods are used on unstructured quadrilateral grids. The vortex shedding pattern of an airfoil in an oscillating plunge motion becomes asymmetric at a sufficiently high frequency. The SD method is able to capture this effect and reve...
متن کاملPlunging Airfoil Load Characteristics Equipped with Gurney Flap
Numerous experiments have been conducted on plunging Eppler 361 airfoil in a subsonic wind tunnel. The experimental tests involved measuring the surface pressure distribution over the airfoil at Re=1.5×105. The airfoil was equipped with Gurney flap(heights of 2.6, 3.3 and 5% chord) and plunged at 6cm amplitude. The unsteady aerodynamic loads were calculated from the surface pressure measurement...
متن کاملAerodynamics 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...
