Dynamical mode decomposition of Gurney flap wake flow

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2011
AbstractThe present work uses dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) to analyze wake flow of NACA0015 airfoil with Gurney flap. The physics of DMD is first introduced. Then the PIV-measured wake flow velocity field is decomposed into dynamical modes. The vortex shedding pattern behind the trailing edge and its high-order harmonics have been captured with ...

Influence of Gurney Flap and Leading-Edge/Trailing-Edge Flaps on the Stall Characteristics and Aeroacoustic Performance of Airfoils

open access: yesFluids
In aerospace, flow control techniques have improved the separation flow characteristics around airfoils by various means. In this paper, the delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) technique is used to simulate the detailed flow field around the NACA0021

Influence of self-adaptive hairy flaps on the stall delay of an airfoil in ramp-up motion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is known in the case of some birds that the coverts on the upper side of their wings pop-up under critical flight conditions such as the landing approach, thus acting like a brake on the spread of flow separation. Taking experimental investigations as

Segmented Gurney Flaps for Improved Wind Turbine Wake Recovery

open access: yesWind Energy
When wind passes through the rotor of a wind turbine, the velocity is decreased while turbulence is increased. The region of decreased wind speed behind the rotor is known as the wind turbine wake and is bounded by a complex structure of helical vortices.

Water tunnel studies of dynamic wing flap effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The flow features developing over a two-element NACA 0012 airfoil, with the rear portion serving as a trailing edge flap, were investigated using dye flow visualization in the NPS water tunnel.

Comparative Study on Aerodynamic Performance of VAWTs with Different Airfoils Under Dimple-Gurney Flap Synergistic Control

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The combined control method of dimples and Gurney flaps has proven effective in enhancing the power coefficient of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs). However, the adaptability of this combined control structure to different airfoil geometries remains ...

Active Management of Flap-Edge Trailing Vortices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The vortex hazard produced by large airliners and increasingly larger airliners entering service, combined with projected rapid increases in the demand for air transportation, is expected to act as a major impediment to increased air traffic capacity ...
