Abstract

In the present study, the effect of pitch amplitude on the unsteady aerodynamics of a NACA 0012 airfoil is numerically investigated. When the frequency ratio is equal to 1.0, airfoil pitching with 20 and 30 degrees of pitch amplitude shows almost small lift generation, but the lift is significantly increased in case of 10-degree pitch amplitude. When the frequency is 0.5, the lift coefficients have large values, and the lift increases with a decrease in pitch amplitude. When the frequency ratio is 1.0, the airfoil generates large thrust. The thrust decreases as the pitch amplitude decreases. When the frequency ratio is 0.5, drag is generated for the 30-degree pitch amplitude, but the thrust is generated for 10-degree pitch amplitude. In future, the effect of heave amplitude on the unsteady aerodynamics of the airfoil will be studied.

본 연구에서는 NACA 0012 에어포일을 사용하여 히브와 피치 진동운동의 주파수가 다른 경우에 대하여 피치진동운동의 진폭에 에어포일의 비정상 공력 특성에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 연구했다. 양력계수는 주파수비가 1.0인 경우 피치진동운동의 진폭이 30°와 20°인 경우 양력계수 값이 크지 않았으나 10°인 경우 양력계수값이 크게 증가했다. 주파수비가 0.5인 경우 양력계수값은 전체적으로 주파수비가 1.0인 경우보다 큰 값을 가졌으며, 진폭이 감소할수록 양력이 크게 증가하였다. 항력계수는 주파수비가 1.0인 경우 전체적으로 추력이 크게 발생하였으며 진폭이 감소할수록 추력의 크기가 감소하였다. 주파수비가 0.5인 경우 피치진동운동의 진폭이 30°인 경우 항력이 발생하였으나 진폭이 10°인 경우 추력이 발생하였다. 향후 본 연구를 확장하여 에어포일의 히브진동운동의 진폭변화에 따른 비정상 공력 특성 변화를 연구할 계획이다.
