02.3 - Basic Fluid Dynamics and Flow ControlAN EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF THE AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS AN OSCILLATORY PITCHING NACA0012 AEROFOILA. Yadav¹, S. Prince¹, J. Holt¹; ¹Cranfield University, United Kingdom The flow over a NACA0012 Aerofoil oscillating in pitch has been investigated in low speed wind tunnel experiments using an oscillatory pitch and heave rig, while numerical calculations involving the time accurate solution of the Navier-Stokes equations have been computed to assess the capability of modern numerical methods to capture the challenging flow physics associated with dynamic stall. |
