Vortices, turbulence, and center of pressure in flow over pitching swept wings

Dipan Deb, Yuanhang Zhu, Philip Gaudio +1

This study examines the center of pressure (CoP) movement of rigid pitching swept wings based on prior measurements by (Zhu, Breuer, 2023}. The wings analyzed feature sweep angles…

A data-driven approach for modeling large-amplitude flow-induced oscillations of elastically mounted pitching wings

Yuanhang Zhu, Kenneth Breuer

We propose and validate a data-driven approach for modeling large-amplitude flow-induced oscillations of elastically mounted pitching wings. We first train a neural networks regres…

Flow-induced oscillations of pitching swept wings: Stability boundary, vortex dynamics and force partitioning

Yuanhang Zhu, Kenneth Breuer

We experimentally study the aeroelastic instability boundaries and three-dimensional vortex dynamics of pitching swept wings, with the sweep angle ranging from 0 to 25 degrees. The…

Force moment partitioning and scaling analysis of vortices shed by a 2D pitching wing in quiescent fluid

Yuanhang Zhu, Howon Lee, Sushrut Kumar +3

We experimentally study the dynamics and strength of vortices shed from a NACA 0012 wing undergoing sinusoidal pitching in quiescent water. We characterize the temporal evolution o…

Leading edge vortex formation and wake trajectory: Synthesizing measurements, analysis, and machine learning

Howon Lee, Nicholas Simone, Yunxing Su +4

The strength and trajectory of a leading edge vortex (LEV) formed by a pitching-heaving hydrofoil (chord ) is studied. The LEV is identified using the -criterion method, whic…

Nonlinear fluid damping of elastically mounted pitching wings in quiescent water

Yuanhang Zhu, Varghese Mathai, Kenneth Breuer

We experimentally study the nonlinear fluid damping of a rigid but elastically mounted pitching wing in the absence of a freestream flow. The dynamics of the elastic mount are simu…
