Low-Speed Aerodynamics, Second Edition P1: JSN/FIO P2: JSN/UKS QC: JSN/UKS T1: JSN CB329-FM CB329/Katz October 3, 2000 15:18 Char Count= 0 Low-Speed Aerodynamics, Second Edition Low-speed aerodynamics is important in the design and operation of aircraft fly- ing at low Mach number and of ground and marine vehicles. This book offers a modern treatment of the subject, both the theory of inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational aerodynamics and the computational techniques now available to solve complex problems. A unique feature of the text is that the computational approach (from a single vortex element to a three-dimensional panel formulation) is interwoven throughout. Thus, the reader can learn about classical methods of the past, while also learning how to use numerical methods to solve real-world aerodynamic problems. This second edition, updates the first edition with a new chapter on the laminar boundary layer, the latest versions of computational techniques, and additional coverage of interaction problems. It includes a systematic treatment of two-dimensional panel methods and a detailed presentation of computational techniques for three- dimensional and unsteady flows. With extensive illustrations and examples, this book will be useful for senior and beginning graduate-level courses, as well as a helpful reference tool for practicing engineers.

  • Laws of Similarity in Fluid Mechanics 21
    Laws of similarity in fluid mechanics B. Weigand1 & V. Simon2 1Institut für Thermodynamik der Luft- und Raumfahrt (ITLR), Universität Stuttgart, Germany. 2Isringhausen GmbH & Co KG, Lemgo, Germany. Abstract All processes, in nature as well as in technical systems, can be described by fundamental equations—the conservation equations. These equations can be derived using conservation princi- ples and have to be solved for the situation under consideration. This can be done without explicitly investigating the dimensions of the quantities involved. However, an important consideration in all equations used in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics is dimensional homogeneity. One can use the idea of dimensional consistency in order to group variables together into dimensionless parameters which are less numerous than the original variables. This method is known as dimen- sional analysis. This paper starts with a discussion on dimensions and about the pi theorem of Buckingham. This theorem relates the number of quantities with dimensions to the number of dimensionless groups needed to describe a situation. After establishing this basic relationship between quantities with dimensions and dimensionless groups, the conservation equations for processes in fluid mechanics (Cauchy and Navier–Stokes equations, continuity equation, energy equation) are explained. By non-dimensionalizing these equations, certain dimensionless groups appear (e.g. Reynolds number, Froude number, Grashof number, Weber number, Prandtl number). The physical significance and importance of these groups are explained and the simplifications of the underlying equations for large or small dimensionless parameters are described. Finally, some examples for selected processes in nature and engineering are given to illustrate the method. 1 Introduction If we compare a small leaf with a large one, or a child with its parents, we have the feeling that a ‘similarity’ of some sort exists.

  • Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity
    Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity Motivation. In this chapter we discuss the planning, presentation, and interpretation of experimental data. We shall try to convince you that such data are best presented in dimensionless form. Experiments which might result in tables of output, or even mul- tiple volumes of tables, might be reduced to a single set of curves—or even a single curve—when suitably nondimensionalized. The technique for doing this is dimensional analysis. Chapter 3 presented gross control-volume balances of mass, momentum, and en- ergy which led to estimates of global parameters: mass flow, force, torque, total heat transfer. Chapter 4 presented infinitesimal balances which led to the basic partial dif- ferential equations of fluid flow and some particular solutions. These two chapters cov- ered analytical techniques, which are limited to fairly simple geometries and well- defined boundary conditions. Probably one-third of fluid-flow problems can be attacked in this analytical or theoretical manner. The other two-thirds of all fluid problems are too complex, both geometrically and physically, to be solved analytically. They must be tested by experiment. Their behav- ior is reported as experimental data. Such data are much more useful if they are ex- pressed in compact, economic form. Graphs are especially useful, since tabulated data cannot be absorbed, nor can the trends and rates of change be observed, by most en- gineering eyes. These are the motivations for dimensional analysis. The technique is traditional in fluid mechanics and is useful in all engineering and physical sciences, with notable uses also seen in the biological and social sciences.

  • Aerodynamic Force Measurement on an Icing Airfoil
    AerE 344: Undergraduate Aerodynamics and Propulsion Laboratory Lab Instructions Lab #13: Aerodynamic Force Measurement on an Icing Airfoil Instructor: Dr. Hui Hu Department of Aerospace Engineering Iowa State University Office: Room 2251, Howe Hall Tel:515-294-0094 Email:[email protected] Lab #13: Aerodynamic Force Measurement on an Icing Airfoil Objective: The objective of this lab is to measure the aerodynamic forces acting on an airfoil in a wind tunnel using a direct force balance. The forces will be measured on an airfoil before and after the accretion of ice to illustrate the effect of icing on the performance of aerodynamic bodies. The experiment components: The experiments will be performed in the ISU-UTAS Icing Research Tunnel, a closed-circuit refrigerated wind tunnel located in the Aerospace Engineering Department of Iowa State University. The tunnel has a test section with a 16 in 16 in cross section and all the walls of the test section optically transparent. The wind tunnel has a contraction section upstream the test section with a spray system that produces water droplets with the 10–100 um mean droplet diameters and water mass concentrations of 0–10 g/m3. The tunnel is refrigerated by a Vilter 340 system capable of achieving operating air temperatures below -20 C. The freestream velocity of the tunnel can set up to ~50 m/s. Figure 1 shows the calibration information for the tunnel, relating the freestream velocity to the motor frequency setting. Figure 1. Wind tunnel airspeed versus motor frequency setting. The airfoil model for the lab is a finite wing NACA 0012 with a chord length of 6 inches and a span of 14.5 inches.

  • Active Control of Flow Over an Oscillating NACA 0012 Airfoil
    Active Control of Flow over an Oscillating NACA 0012 Airfoil Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David Armando Castañeda Vergara, M.S., B.S. Graduate Program in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Mo Samimy, Advisor Dr. Datta Gaitonde Dr. Jim Gregory Dr. Miguel Visbal Dr. Nathan Webb c Copyright by David Armando Castañeda Vergara 2020 Abstract Dynamic stall (DS) is a time-dependent flow separation and stall phenomenon that occurs due to unsteady motion of a lifting surface. When the motion is sufficiently rapid, the flow can remain attached well beyond the static stall angle of attack. The eventual stall and dynamic stall vortex formation, convection, and shedding processes introduce large unsteady aerodynamic loads (lift, drag, and moment) which are undesirable. Dynamic stall occurs in many applications, including rotorcraft, micro aerial vehicles (MAVs), and wind turbines. This phenomenon typically occurs in rotorcraft applications over the rotor at high forward flight speeds or during maneuvers with high load factors. The primary adverse characteristic of dynamic stall is the onset of high torsional and vibrational loads on the rotor due to the associated unsteady aerodynamic forces. Nanosecond Dielectric Barrier Discharge (NS-DBD) actuators are flow control devices which can excite natural instabilities in the flow. These actuators have demonstrated the ability to delay or mitigate dynamic stall. To study the effect of an NS-DBD actuator on DS, a preliminary proof-of-concept experiment was conducted. This experiment examined the control of DS over a NACA 0015 airfoil; however, the setup had significant limitations.

    Leonhard Euler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 14 Leonhard Euler From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Leonhard Euler ( German pronunciation: [l]; English Leonhard Euler approximation, "Oiler" [1] 15 April 1707 – 18 September 1783) was a pioneering Swiss mathematician and physicist. He made important discoveries in fields as diverse as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory. He also introduced much of the modern mathematical terminology and notation, particularly for mathematical analysis, such as the notion of a mathematical function.[2] He is also renowned for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, and astronomy. Euler spent most of his adult life in St. Petersburg, Russia, and in Berlin, Prussia. He is considered to be the preeminent mathematician of the 18th century, and one of the greatest of all time. He is also one of the most prolific mathematicians ever; his collected works fill 60–80 quarto volumes. [3] A statement attributed to Pierre-Simon Laplace expresses Euler's influence on mathematics: "Read Euler, read Euler, he is our teacher in all things," which has also been translated as "Read Portrait by Emanuel Handmann 1756(?) Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all." [4] Born 15 April 1707 Euler was featured on the sixth series of the Swiss 10- Basel, Switzerland franc banknote and on numerous Swiss, German, and Died Russian postage stamps. The asteroid 2002 Euler was 18 September 1783 (aged 76) named in his honor.
