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.

In this study, a generic airfoil designed by the inverse method was evaluated with several candidate airfoils as a first step. Each airfoil was compared with respect to aerodynamic performance to meet the requirement of HALE(high altitude long endurance) aircraft. The second step was to optimize the candidate airfoil using the couple of optimization formulations to down select an optimum airfoil. For the analysis of low Reynolds number 2D flow, Drela's MSES was used. After comparing the aerodynamic results, the best airfoil was chosen to construct the baseline 3D wing. The Navier-Stokes code was used to evaluate the overall aerodynamic performance of designed wing with other wings. The results show that the designed wing has the best performance compared with other wings.

A boundary layer visualization was carried out in order to investigate the influence of Reynolds number on an oscillating airfoil. An NACA 0012 airfoil is sinusoidally pitched at the quarter chord point with oscillation amplitude of ${\pm}6^{\circ}$. A smoke-wire technique was employed to visualize the boundary layer and the near-wake. The freestream velocities are 1.98, 2.83 and 4.03m/s and corresponding chord Reynolds numbers are $2.3{\times}10^4,\;3.3{\times}10^4$, and $4.8{\times}10^4$, respectively. As the reduced frequency of K=0.1 is fixed, the corresponding frequency of an airfoil was adjusted in each case. The results reveal that the point at which the shear stress in an unsteady boundary layer separation disappears does not correspond with the position of the breakdown of the boundary layer, and that the breakdown of the boundary layer occurs further downstream.

A study on the boundary layer behavior of an NACA 0012 airfoil at low Reynolds numbers was investigated in order to gain knowledge of a boundary layer that might be employed in a turbine blade and MAVs. A hot-wire anemometer was used to measure the boundary layer of an NACA 0012 airfoil at static angles of attack ${\alpha}$=$0^{\circ}$, $3^{\circ}$, and $6^{\circ}$, and Reynolds Numbers Re=$2.3{\times}10^4$, $3.3{\times}10^4$, and $4.8{\times}10^4$. The results of this study show that the laminar boundary layer on the airfoil surface is attached to the surface at ${\alpha}$=$0^{\circ}$, and the laminar separation of the boundary layer on the airfoil surface occurs at ${\alpha}$=$3^{\circ}$. Furthermore, the reattachment of the boundary layer in the present study occurs for the cases of Re=$3.3{\times}10^4$ and Re=$4.8{\times}10^4$at ${\alpha}$=$6^{\circ}$.

The wall interference effects around the wind-turbine airfoil are experimentally investigated at low Reynolds numbers in a closed test-section wind tunnel. The test is performed at free-stream velocities from 10 to 31 m/s, which correspond to Reynolds numbers ranging from $1.5{\times}10^5$ to $4.6{\times}10^5$ based on chord of the airfoil. The blockage-area ratios, which is the ratio of the chord to the test-section width, are 27.8%, 38.5%, 41.7%, 45.5%, and 55.6%. The test results for the airfoil show that the transition point on the airfoil surface tends to move backward due to wall interference. The wall pressures for an adequate interference correction by a measured-boundary-condition method are desirable more than three times region of the chord before and after around the reference center.

A visualization study on the boundary layer and near-wake of an NACA 0012 airfoil was con-ducted in order to investigate the influence of boundary layer behavior on the near-wake at low Reynolds numbers. The present study is investigated at static angles of attack ${\alpha}=0^{\circ},\;3^{\circ},\;6^{\circ}$ and $Re=2.3{\times}10^4,\;3.3{\times}10^4,\;4.8{\times}10^4$ by using a smoke-wire technique. The results of this study show that the laminar boundary layer on the airfoil surface is attached to the surface at ${\alpha}=0^{\circ}$, and that laminar separation of boundary layer on the airfoil surface occurs at ${\alpha}=3^{\circ}$. Furthermore, reattachment of the boundary layer occurs in the case of ${\alpha}=6^{\circ}$. In the current study, the location of the laminar separation point moves upstream as the Reynolds number and the angle of attack increase.

An experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the influence of boundary layer behavior on the near-wake at low Reynolds numbers. An X-type hot-film probe(55R51) was used to measure the near-wake of an NACA 0012 airfoil at static angles of attack ${\alpha}=0^{\circ}$, $3^{\circ}$, and $6^{\circ}$, and the Reynolds numbers Re=2.3${\times}10^4$, 3.3${\times}10^4$, and 4.8${\times}10^4$. The results of the study show that the characteristics of the boundary layer on the airfoil surface have a close relationship with the mean velocity and turbulence intensity profiles of a near-wake. Therefore, the development of the boundary layer, the position of the separation point, and the existence and non-existence of reattachment on the airfoil surface were represented by the differences in mean velocity and turbulence intensity profiles of the near-wake.
