Unsteady Vortex Airfoil Interaction,
Abstract
Unsteady flow in the vicinity of an airfoil in a subsonic flow with strong vortices is investigated for a two-dimensional problem. This investigation concentrates on the interaction of the passing vortex, flow field with the steady flow field of the airfoil. Unsteady flow separation and generation of new vortices of the airfoil occurs depending on vortex strength and core path. Inviscid calculations of vortex path and sound generation are compared with the experimental results. The associated pressure waves have a strong directivity. The vortices used for the interaction experiments are generated by different vortex shedding cylinders in a stationary duct flow or by airfoils in the starting flow of a shock-tube. High speed interferometric flow recording and wall pressure measurement are the main experimental techniques.
