Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current interest in a variety of low Reynolds number applications has focused attention on the design and evaluation of efficient airfoil sections at chord Reynolds numbers from about 100,000 to about 1,000,000. These applications include remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs) at high altitudes, sailplanes, ultra-light man-carrying/man powered aircraft, mini-RPVs at low altitudes and wind turbines/propellers. The purpose of this conference was to bring together those researchers who have been active in areas closely related to this subject. All of the papers presented are research type papers. Main topics are: Airfoil Design and Analysis, Computational Studies, Stability and Transition, Laminar Separation Bubble, Steady and Unsteady Wind Tunnel Experiments and Flight Experiments.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance of low Reynolds number (Re) devices is highly dependent on their airfoil design. Small wind turbines that usually work in areas with poor wind resources with a vast application from remote to busy urban regions are no exception. The unsteady flow field around the turbine blade results in an unsteady boundary layer that makes aerodynamics of these turbines complex and interesting. But due to the complexity of unsteady low Reynolds flow, and the small scale of boundary layer flow there are still unanswered questions in this area. Therefore, this study is arranged to fully investigate low Reynolds number boundary layer flow in steady and unsteady flow using small scale experiments. For this goal, three non-intrusive experimental techniques used to study low Re flow behavior over a miniature SD7037 airfoil including surface oil flow visualization (SOFV), IR-Thermography (IT), and particle image velocimetry (PIV) at 14000

This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental investigation in turbulent boundary layer flows represents one of the canonical geometries of wall bounded shear flows. Utmost relevance of such experiments, however, is applied in the engineering applications in aerospace and marine industries. In particular, continuous effort is being imparted to explore the underlying physics of the flow in order to develop models for numerical tools and to achieve flow control. Flow control experiments have been widely investigated since 1930’s. Several flow control technique has been explored and have shown potential benefit. But the choice of control technique depends largely on the boundary condition and the type of application. Hence, friction drag of subsonic transport aircraft is intended to be reduced within the scope of this Ph. D. topic. Therefore, application of active control method such as microblowing effect in the incompressible, zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer was investigated. A series of experiments have been performed in two different wind tunnel facilities. Wind tunnel from Department of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics (LAS) was used for the measurements for moderate Reynolds number range in co-operation with the wind tunnel from Laboratoire de M´ecanique de Feiret Lille for large Reynolds number range. Measurements are conducted with the help of state-of-the-art techniques such as Laser Doppler Anemometry, Particle Image Velocimetry and electronic pressure sensors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis presents a deep analysis of the steady and unsteady viscous flows past airfoils and three-dimensional wings, and of three-dimensional confined flows at low Reynolds numbers. This research work was carried out in several cases studies: (i) steady and unsteady confined viscous flows; (ii) unsteady separations effects on the flow past stationary airfoils; (iii) effect of the ground proximity on the steady and unsteady viscous flows past oscillating and fixed airfoils; (iv) three-dimensional steady flows past wings at low Reynolds numbers. The first part presents an efficient numerical method to solve three-dimensional steady and unsteady flows in a three-dimensional downstream-facing step channel at low Reynolds numbers. A finite-difference formulation and artificial compressibility were used on a stretched staggered grid for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, which is second-order accurate in space and time. The results were found to be in good agreement with the available experimental results. For the first time it was confirmed that the difference between the two-dimensional numerical solutions and the experimental results was due to the effect of the lateral walls in the experimental configuration.The second part is the study of the unsteady effects on stationary airfoils due to unsteady flow separations at low Reynolds numbers. This study was performed with an efficient time-accurate numerical method using a pseudo-time relaxation procedure with artificial compressibility and a factored Alternate-Direction Implicit (ADI) scheme for the pseudo-time integration. The method is successfully validated by comparison with the experimental results obtained by Suwa et al. for triangular airfoils at low Reynolds numbers. It was found that the aerodynamic coefficients of lift and drag displayed periodic variations in time due to the unsteady flow separations occurring at low Reynolds numbers on stationary airfoils at relatively small angles of attack.Analysis of the steady and unsteady flows over airfoils in the proximity of the ground was studied in the third part. Various flight evolutions of the micro-air-vehicles take place in the proximity of the ground or a ceiling, which require the aerodynamic solutions in these conditions at low Reynolds numbers. Solutions are presented for the unsteady lift and drag coefficients of several NACA airfoils in the proximity of the ground. A detailed study of the influence of various geometric and flow parameters, such as the angle of attack, airfoil relative thickness, amplitude and frequency of oscillations and Reynolds number, on the flow separations in the proximity of the ground were carried out in this part. This study also presented the analysis of the unsteady flows past stationary airfoils in the proximity of the ground, aiming to determine the influence of the distance to the ground on these unsteady effects which are generated by the unsteady flow separations on the stationary airfoils at low Reynolds numbers. It was found that these unsteady effects appear at lower angles of attack for the airfoils in the proximity of the ground than in free flight.The fourth and final case study is the three-dimensional analysis of the steady viscous flows past rectangular wings with various NACA airfoil sections at low Reynolds numbers. The solutions are obtained using an efficient numerical method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flows. The numerical solutions of the aerodynamic lift and drag coefficients obtained by this method are validated with the experimental results obtained by Sunada et al. for rectangular wings. A parametric study of the influence of various geometric and flow parameters, such as wing thickness, wing airfoil camber, angle of attack and Reynolds number is also presented." --
