Computation of Unsteady Flows over an Oscillating airfoil

진동하는 익형을 지나는 비정상 유동에 관한 계산

A flowfields around a NACA0012 airfoil pitching about a 1/4 chord and plunging in vertical displacement are analyzed by solving two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. A steady solution was solved first as a validation of the code used and the results were compared with experimental data. Then as a unsteady case, the oscillatory airfoil was solved to compare the results with experimental data. Oscillating rate of pitching and plunging motion was set to have analogy and the magnitude of plunging was set using the magnitude of pitching angle of attack. Finally combined pitching and plunging motion was solved to show the effect of 2 different types of oscillating motion of the airfoil.
