Unsteady Kutta Condition of a Plunging Airfoil

  • Conference paper
Unsteady Turbulent Shear Flows

Abstract

Unsteady Kutta condition is an important criterion for theoretical analyses in unsteady aerodynamics and in aerodynamic noise generations. The experimental studies on this subject are very limited. In the present investigation, the stagnation streamline at the trailing edge of a NACA 0012 airfoil in plunging motion is measured from phase averaged streamwise and transverse velocity components. The Kutta condition is examined for reduced frequency up to 1.0 and at different angles of attack.
