Journal ArticleDOI
Unsteady Aerodynamic Response of a Two-Dimensional Airfoil at High Reduced Frequency
G. L. Commerford,F. O. Carta +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental technique is described which corroborates the predictions of several new analyses of the unsteady response of an airfoil to high frequency flow fluctuations and shows a chordwise variation of pressure phase angle which is not predicted by the incompressible analysis of Sears.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hydroelastic response of a surface-piercing hydrofoil in multi-phase flows. Part 1. Passive hydroelasticity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the passive, or flow-induced, fluid-structure interactions of the hydrofoils and found that ventilation increases the divergence speed by reducing the hydrodynamic twisting moment about the elastic axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical Drip Size and Blue Flame Shedding of Dripping Ignition in Fire
TL;DR: Photographic evidence identifies a flame-shedding process, most likely associated with continual sequential ignition of fuel vapor within a von Karman vortex street generated behind the falling burning drip, which is found to be a blue chain of flame.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Lift Force Due to von Karman's Vortex Wake
TL;DR: In this article, the Strouhal number, the ratio of the lateral to longitudinal vortex spacing of wake vortices, and the width of the body were used to estimate the lift coefficient of a bluff cylindrical body.

The Hydrodynamic and Hydroelastic Responses of Rigid and Flexible Surface-Piercing Hydrofoils inMulti-Phase Flows
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the hydrodynamic and hydroelastic performance of surface-piercing hydrofoils through ex- periments on three rigid and two flexible models, which were tested in a towing tank and in a free-surface cavitation tunnel.
