Experimental quantification of unsteady leading-edge flow separation

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday

We propose here a method to experimentally quantify unsteady leading-edge flow separation on aerofoils with finite thickness. The methodology relies on the computation of a leading-edge suction parameter based on measured values of the partial circulation ...

The dynamics and timescales of static stall

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Sébastien Le Fouest, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday

Airfoil stall plays a central role in the design of safe and efficient lifting surfaces. We typically distinguish between static and dynamic stall based on the unsteady rate of change of an airfoil’s angle of attack. Despite the somewhat misleading denotat ...

Stall Delay and Leading-Edge Suction for a Pitching Airfoil with Trailing-Edge Flap

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday, Guosheng He

The flow around a pitching NACA0015 airfoil with an oscillating trailing-edge flap is experimentally investigated to characterize the influence of the flap kinematics on the development of dynamic stall. We specifically focus on the timing of the stall dev ...

Performance enhancement of downwind sails due to leading edge flapping: A wind tunnel investigation

Julien Dominique Claude Deparday

This work presents a wind tunnel experimental study on the effect of the leading edge flapping on the aerodynamic performance of a spinnaker. Four J80-class spinnaker models, combining two different assembling structures (panel layout) and two different sa ...

Critical evolution of leading edge suction during dynamic stall

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday

Dynamic stall dominates the aerodynamic performance, the robustness, and the wake dynamics of vertical axis wind turbines. To better assess the dynamic stall onset and its associated unsteady effects, this paper analyzes experimentally the evolution of the ...
