Abstract:Experimental results examining a rapidly-deflecting simple flap of a wall-to-wall NACA 0006 wing in a water tunnel at Re = 40k are presented for a survey of flap deflections designed to negate the lift-transient from an imposed plunge motion of the entire wing. The plunge, over a period ranging from eight convective times to one convective time, is regarded as a vertical disturbance, or a "gust". The flap deflection history is initially derived from Theodorsen's formula for unsteady flap motions, from which on… Show more
