Abstract

An experimental. study is carried out to investigate the near-wake characteristics of an airfoil oscillating in pitch. An NACA 4412 airfoil is sinusoidally pitched about the quarter chord point between the angle of attack -6$^{\circ}$ and +6$^{\circ}$. A hot-wire anemometer is used to measure the phase-averaged mean velocities in the near-wake region of an oscillating airfoil. The freestream velocities of present work are 3.4, 12.4, 26.2 m/s, and the corresponding Reynolds numbers are 5.3${\times}10^4$, 1.9${\times}10^5$, 4.l${\times}10^5$, and the reduced frequency is 0.1. Streamwise velocity profiles are presented to show the Reynolds number effects on the near-wake region behind an airfoil oscillating in pitch. All the cases in these measurements show that the velocity defects by the change of the Reynolds number are very large at the lowest Reynolds number $R_N$=5.3${\times}10^4$: and are small at the other Reynolds numbers ($R_N$=1.9${\times}10^5$ and 4.l${\times}10^5$) in the near-wake region. A significant difference of phase-averaged mean velocity between 5.3${\times}10^4$, and 1.9${\times}10^5$ is observed. The present study shows that a critical value of Reynolds number in the near-wake of an oscillating airfoil exists in the range between 5.3${\times}10^4$, and 1.9${\times}10^5$.

진동하는 에어포일의 근접후류 특성을 조사하기 위한 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. NACA 4412에어포일은 1/4 시위 지점을 중심으로 조화적으로 피칭운동을 하고, 순간받음각이 +6$^{\circ}$에서 -6$^{\circ}$까지 진동하도록 하였다. 진동하는 에어포일의 근접후류에서의 평균속도를 측정하기 위하여 열선풍속계를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 자유류의 속도는 3.4, 12.4, 26.2 m/s이다. 이러한 자유류 속도에 따른 시위 레이놀즈수는 $R_N$=5.3${\times}10^4$, 1.9${\times}10^5$, 4.1${\times}10^5$이고, 무차원 진동수는 K=0.1이다. 레이놀즈수가 진동하는 에어포일의 근접후류에 미치는 영향을 나타내기 위하여 축방향 위상평균 속도분포를 제시하였다. 본 측정에서 모든 경우에 속도결손은 $R_N$=5.3${\times}10^4$인 경우에 아주 크고, $R_N$=1.9${\times}10^5$과 4.1${\times}10^5$인 경우에는 작다는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 위상평균속도의 커다란 차이는 $R_N$=5.3${\times}10^4$과 1.9${\times}10^5$ 사이에 있다는 것을 관찰하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 진동하는 에어포일의 근접후류에서의 레이놀즈수의 임계값이 5.3${\times}10^4$에서 1.9${\times}10^5$ 범위에 존재한다는 것을 보여준다.
