Abstract:Even with its small size, the Gurney flap (GF) can help considerably in increasing the lift of foils and wings. To exploit this feature, the objective of this research was to numerically study the effects of this flow control device on the aerodynamic performance of oscillating foils for micro-aerial vehicle (MAV) applications. Three sets of each important parameter were selected: the height (0.01c, 0.04c, and 0.16c), angle (45 deg, 90 deg, and 135 deg) and location from trailing edge (T.E, 0.05c and 0.1c). A … Show more
