Abstract:An aspect ratio 9.5 rectangular wing is articulated in revolving and translating motions
at a 45-degree angle of incidence and Reynolds number Re = O(300). The effects of
rotational (Coriolis and centripetal) accelerations and relative inflow velocity profile on
vorticity transport within the LEV system are independently investigated. For the range of
displacements studied (180 deg. rotation and corresponding translational displacement), a
stably attached leading-edge vortex (LEV) is observed when rotational a… Show more
