In the present study, the effect of a hydrofoil trailing edge shape on the wake dynamic and its interaction with the mechanical structure is investigated. This would help better describe the physical reasons for vibration reduction when using oblique and D ...
An experimental investigation on the flow features of the wake generated from a circular cylinder with finite height and placed vertically on a plane is presented. Through force measurements the mean drag coefficient is found to be roughly invariant by var ...
Blade tip vortices are the dominant vortical structures of the helicopter flow field. The inherent complexity of the vortex dynamics has led to an increasing interest in full-scale in situ experiments, where the near field, closely behind the blade, is of ...
The flow field around a helicopter is dominated by strong coherent vortices originating from the blade tip as a result of the pressure difference between suction and pressure side and a high radial velocity at the tip (Leishman, 2001; Green and Acosta, 199 ...
In realistic urban environments, where buildings experience variable heights, the tallest structures have a disproportional impact on drag, mean flow and turbulence. Although wind-engineering studies document well the effects of individual high-rise buildi ...
The blade tip vortex of a full-scale MBB Bo 105 Helicopter is investigated experimentally under simulated hover flight conditions in ground effect by means of stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry. Based on the three-component velocity field of azimuthal ...
This paper presents an experimental investigation of the vortex shedding in the wake of blunt and oblique trailing edge hydrofoils at high Reynolds number, Re=5 10 5 - 2.9 10 6. The velocity field in the wake is surveyed with the help of Particle-Image-Vel ...
Dynamic stall on an oscillating airfoil was investigated by a combination of surface pressure measurements and time-resolved particle image velocimetry. Following up on previous work on the onset of dynamic stall (Mulleners and Raffel in Exp Fluids 52(3):7 ...
The flow field around a helicopter is dominated by strong coherent vortices originating from the blade tip as a result of the pressure difference between suction and pressure side and a high radial velocity at the tip (Leishman, 2001; Green and Acosta, 199 ...
Dynamic stall on an airfoil comprises a series of complex aerodynamic phenomena in response to an unsteady change of the angle of attack. It is accompanied by a lift overshoot and delayed massive flow separation with respect to static stall. The classical ...
