The main objective of this study is to investigate the influence of the free surface on the structure of the airfoil trailing wake. The flow structure was measured with different ride heights between the airfoil and free surface using a Particle Image Velocimetry （PIV） system. The Reynolds number based on the chord length of the airfoil was about 3.5×10^3. For each experimental condition, large amount of instantaneous velocity fields were captured and ensemble-averaged to get the spatial distributions of mean velocity and mean vorticity, as well as turbulence statistics. The results show that the flow structures of the airfoil wake varies remarkably with the change in the ride height.展开更多

The conditions are studied in a wind tunnel on different airfoils. The phenomenon can be delayed or suppressed by exerting an external momentum to the flow. Dielectric barrier discharge actuators arranged in a row of 8 and perpendicular to the flow direction can delay flow separation by exerting the momentum. In this study, a mathematical model is developed to predict a parameter, which is utilized to represent flow separation on an NACA0012 airfoil. The model is based on the neurofuzzy method applied to experimental datasets. The neuro model is trained in different flow conditions and the parameter is measured by pressure sensors.展开更多
