Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete-vortex method with novel shedding criterion for unsteady aerofoil flows with intermittent leading-edge vortex shedding
TL;DR: In this article, a discrete-time, arbitrary-motion, unsteady thin aerofoil theory with discrete-vortex shedding from the leading edge governed by the instantaneous leading-edge suction parameter (LESP) was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unsteady force generation and vortex dynamics of pitching and plunging aerofoils
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of varying frequency and plunge amplitude for the same effective angle-of-attack time history are considered, and it is shown that for constant effective angle of attack, flow evolution is independent of Strouhal number, and as the reduced frequency is increased the leading edge vortex separates later in phase during the downstroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
An unsteady airfoil theory applied to pitching motions validated against experiment and computation
TL;DR: An inviscid theoretical method that is applicable to non-periodic motions and that accounts for large amplitudes and nonplanar wakes (large-angle unsteady thin airfoil theory) is developed in this article.
Journal Article
Unsteady pitching flat plates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare flow field evolution versus lift and drag for a nominally two-dimensional rigid flat plate executing smoothed linear pitch ramp manoeuvres in a water tunnel, using direct force measurements and qualitative flow visualization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airfoil longitudinal gust response in separated vs. attached flows
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-steady, linear dependence on the history of input disturbances, provided that small-amplitude bounds are observed, is explored for the problem of periodic sinusoidal streamwise gusts, by comparing experiments on nominally 2D airfoils.
