Journal ArticleDOI
PIV study of flow around unsteady airfoil with dynamic trailing-edge flap deflection
P. Gerontakos,Tim Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an oscillating NACA 0015 airfoil with pre-scheduled trailing-edge flap motion control was investigated by using particle image velocimetry (PIV).
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-field tip vortex behind a swept wing model
P. Gerontakos,Tim Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the near field flow structure of a tip vortex behind a sweptback and tapered NACA 0015 wing was investigated and compared with a rectangular wing at the same lift force and Re=1.81×105.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle image velocimetry investigation of flow over unsteady airfoil with trailing-edge strip
P. Gerontakos,Tim Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the flow over a flapped NACA 0012 airfoil, oscillated slightly through the static-stall angle, was investigated by using particle image velocimetry, and supplemented by surface pressure and dynamic load measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lift-induced drag of a cambered wing for Re ≤ 1 × 10 6
P. Gerontakos,Tim Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation of the dependence of the lift-induced drag coefficient of a square-tipped, cambered wing model on Reynolds number for Re ≥ 1/2πeAR was conducted, based on the vorticity distribution inferred from the near-field cross-flow velocity measurements of the tip vortex.
