Abstract
Many numerical and experimental researches have been done for the unsteady flow around a flapping airfoil. The main research topics are vortex shedding, dynamic stall phenomenon, and MAV''s lift and thrust generation for the flow over a flapping airfoil. Although many researches have been studied to analyze the flow for the variation of frequency and amplitude, much research is still needed. In this study, thrust generation, wake structures, and acoustic wave propagation characteristics were studied for a flapping airfoil. The governing equation was the Navier-Stokes equation with LES turbulence model, and the Optimized High-Order Compact (OHOC) scheme and 4th order Runge-Kutta method were used. The Mach number and Reynolds number were 0.3 and 1000, respectively. The analysis of mean lift and drag coefficients showed the thrust generation characteristics according to the phase angle and the reduced frequency. The wake vortex shedding and propagation characteristics of acoustic waves could be simulated using the high order method.
