Aerodynamic Force and Flow Structures of Two Airfoils in Flapping Motions
arXiv:physics/0404013
Abstract
Aerodynamic force and flow structures of two airfoils in tandem configuration performing flapping motions are studied, using the method of solving the Navier-Stokes equations in moving overset grids. Three typical phase differences between the fore- and aft-airfoil flapping cycles are considered.
