Solution of Unsteady Hydrofoil Problems by Discrete Vortex Method with Application to Fish Propulsion
특이점분포방식(特異點分布方式)에 의한 비정상수중익문제(非正常水中翼問題)에 대(對)한 해석(解析)
Abstract
This paper is prepared to solve the problem of two-dimensional sinusoidal motion of hydrofoil, which can be related not only to the prediction of unsteady forces acting on the marine propeller blade but to the study of aquatic animal's undulatory mode of propulsion. For convenience's shake, this manuscript can be devided into two parts. In the first part, the lift and moment coefficients have been calculated by the method of conformal transformation. In the other part, the thrust and the hydromechanical efficiency have been evaluated, using Lagally's technique having extended to the unsteady case, they also have been compared with the results, which had been obtained by Lighthill[6] and Wu[7] using Prandtl's acceleration potential.
