Abstract
Boundary layer and wake behaviors are strongly affected by airfoil motion. Moreover, parameters like body oscillation frequency, oscillation type, Mach number, and angle of attack play main roles in wake characteristics. In this research, both static and dynamic tests were carried out in a tri-sonic wind tunnel to study wake profiles experimentally by hot wire anemometry. All data were recorded at a free stream Mach number of 0.4. Quarter-length and half-length of chord were also considered as downstream distances from the trailing edge in pitching motions of mean angle of attack of −0.4°. Frequencies of 3 Hz and 6 Hz with amplitude of 3° were chosen as oscillation parameters. Voltages at hot wire outputs were measured and analyzed qualitatively and statistically with root-mean-square, correlation, mean value distribution, time history, and frequency. Flow parameters were obtained by computational studies under similar experimental test conditions. The wake characteristics obtained from numerical and experimental methods were compared.
