Stereo PIV measurements of vortex behavior produced by a pitch-oscillating discoid airfoil
Flying animals and insects flap their wings using a combination of pitching and heaving oscillations. Unsteady fluid forces presumably play an important role in the flight mechanism, and also in the propulsive force of swimmers performing the front crawl.

Unsteady Fluid Forces on a Blade in a Cross-Flow Turbine.
The internal flow in a cross-flow turbine is nonuniform because the water passes through only part of the runner. Therefore, the unsteady fluid forces act on a blade through rotation. The experimental and theoretical studies for determination of fluid forces on the blade in a cross-flow turbine are conducted.

Forced vibration of a sheet under periodic aerodynamic excitation
This paper describes vibration characteristics of a cantilevered flexible sheet under the periodic aerodynamic excitation. In the experiment, movable plates(exciter) are set at the upstream side from the sheet in a wind-tunnel.

An Unsteady Model for Aircraft Icing Based on Tightly-Coupled Method and Phase-Field Method
An unsteady tightly-coupled icing model is established in this paper to solve the numerical simulation problem of unsteady aircraft icing. The multi-media fluid of air and droplets is regarded as a single medium fluid with variable material properties ...

A 'reciprocal' theorem for the prediction of loads on a body moving in an inhomogeneous flow at arbitrary Reynolds number [PDF]
Several forms of a theorem providing general expressions for the force and torque acting on a rigid body of arbitrary shape moving in an inhomogeneous incompressible flow at arbitrary Reynolds number are derived.

Measurements of the Flow in Backshroud/Casing Clearance of Precessing Centrifugal Impeller
Detailed flow measurements have been made to clarify the unsteady flow in the backshroud/ casing clearance of a precessing centrifugal impeller. The unsteady pressure was integrated to obtain the fluid force moment on the precessing impeller shroud for ...
