Abstract

An oscillating rig consisting of two 'two-dimensional' aerofoils enclosed between two vertical wind tunnel walls is capable of generating upwash and/or streamwise sinusoidal gusts. This design has certain advantages over some previous unsteady flow wind tunnels. The upwash velocity predicted from potential flow for aerofoil pitching oscillations is in reasonable agreement with that obtained from the experiment.
