Abstract

The pitching motion of NACA0012 airfoil and the flap vibration of 30P30N multi-element airfoil are simulated by using commercial fluid dynamics simulation software Fluent. The influence of flap vibration on lift coefficient and pitch moment coefficient of multi-element airfoil is analyzed. The results show that the influence of flap vibration on pitching moment coefficient of multi-element airfoil is greater. With the increase of flap amplitude, the variation range of lift and moment coefficients gradually increases, while with the increase of frequency, the variation range of lift and moment coefficients gradually decreases, and the hysteresis loop gradually becomes “thin” and its shape tends to ellipse. With the increase of flap vibration frequency, the unsteady effect of flow field increases, and the hysteresis loop may change in reverse direction.
