Direct Numerical Simulations of Plunging Airfoils

Abstract

This paper presents the results of flow computations around plunging airfoils using a low dissipation finite volume scheme that preserves kinetic energy. The kinetic energy preserving scheme is briefly described and numerical experiments are done on low Mach, low Reynolds numbers plunging airfoils. Results are discussed and compared with experimental data.
