Abstract

Aerodynamic characteristics for two-dimensional cyclic motion profile of flapping airfoil in low Reynolds number flows are investigated. Plunging motion and lead-lag motion in the two dimensional space with different plunging and lead-lag amplitudes are combined to cyclic motion profile and the flow around the airfoil is simulated. Present result shows that the improved aerodynamic efficiencies for a given flapping airfoil by adding periodic lead-lag motion of airfoil rather than the pure plunging case. The thrust coefficient and lift coefficient are compared with each cycle during the flapping period and aerodynamic characteristics are obtained on upstroke motion and downstroke motion.

본 연구에서는 저 레이놀즈수 유동에서 flapping운동을 하는 익형이 가질 수 있는 2차원 평면상의 운동궤적에 따른 공력특성을 연구하였다. 익형이 유동흐름방향으로 왕복 운동하는 lead-lag운동과 plunging운동의 조합으로 2차원 평면상에 나타날 수 있는 여러 운동궤적을 합성하여 flapping 주파수 변화에 따른 공력계수들의 변화를 살펴보았다. 상하방향의 순수 plunging운동에 lead-lag운동을 추가함으로써, 평균추력계수와 평균양력계수를 증가시킬 수 있는 운동궤적이 존재함을 확인하였다. 아울러 운동주기 동안 나타나는 추력계수와 양력계수의 변화를 비교하여 upstroke와 downstroke시 나타나는 공력특성을 파악하였다.
