Abstract

An experimental study was carried out to examine the behavior of the unsteady boundary layer. An NACA 0012 airfoil with aspect ratio of 2.7 was set vertically in a test section, which is sinusoidally pitched about the quarter chord. The oscillating amplitude is from -6$^{\circ}$ to +6$^{\circ}$ and the mean angle of attack is 0$^{\circ}$. Surface mounted probes (Glue-on probes) were employed to measure the surface flow of the boundary layer. Measurements were made at free-stream velocities of 1.98, 2.83, and 4.03m/s, and the corresponding Reynolds numbers based on the chord length were 2.3$\times$104, 3.3$\times$104 and 4.8$\times$104, respectively. The reduced frequency is fixed as 0.1 in all cases. The results show that the surface position of minimum shear stress and of boundary layer break-down can be discerned in the Reynolds number between 2.3$\times$104 and 3.3$\times$104.

진동하는 에어포일에서 비정상 경계층의 거동을 조사하기 위하여 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. 가로세로비가 2.7인 NACA 0012 에어포일은 시험부에 수직으로 설치되었고, 1/4 시위에서 조화 피칭운동을 한다. 에어포일의 진동 진폭은 -6$^{\circ}$에서 +6$^{\circ}$까지 변화하며 평균 받음각은 0$^{\circ}$ 이다. 표면에 부착되는 프로브(글루온 프로브)가 경계층 표면 유동를 측정하기 위하여 이용되었다. 측정은 자유흐름속도는 1.98, 2.83, 4.03m/s에서 수행되었고, 시위길이를 근거로 한 레이놀즈수는 각각 2.3$\times$104, 3.3$\times$104, 4.8$\times$104이다. 에어포일의 무차원 진동수를 모든 경우에서 0.1로 고정하였다. 비정상 경계층에서 최소 전단력의 위치와 경계층 붕괴의 위치는 레이놀즈수 2.3$\times$104와 3.3$\times$104 사이에서 크게 다르게 나타난다.
