Abstract

Details of force, moment, and pressure distributions on a two dimensional, four foot chord, NACA 0012 airfoil, oscillating in pitch through stall, in a 7 ft. x 10 ft. low speed wind tunnel, are presented. Tests were run with the airfoil in a closed test section and also in a test section having four longitudinal slots in each sidewall set to provide minimum tunnel interference on the wing in steady flow. In unsteady flow, differences between the results for the closed and 2% open case are small. The dynamic stall process is not triggered by the bursting of a laminar separation bubble but rather by the separation of the turbulent boundary layer downstream of the bubble.
