Abstract

The aerodynamics and responses of an elastic high-aspect-ratio (AR = 9) NACA0012 airfoil with two-end-fixed supports were experimentally investigated. The chord-based Reynolds number is 1.5 × 105 and the angle of attack (α) of the wing varies from 0° to 90°. The lift, drag coefficients (Cl and Cd), deformation (A*, where the asterisk denotes normalization by the chord) of the wing, as well as the velocity fluctuation (u) in the wake were measured simultaneously. Based on the behaviors of Cl, Cd and A*, and their spectral coherences with u, four regimes are identified, i.e. α = 0º − 4º, 6º − 8º, 10º − 50º and 60º − 90º, respectively. In the regime of α = 0º − 4º, the wing keeps stable, while the dramatic structural vibration emerges for α in the range of 6º − 8º because of the occurrence of the flutter. As α is increased to stall angle (α = 10º), a rapid drop is observed in the RMS value of lift, drag and displacement. Beyond the stall angle, the fluctuation of lift and drag forces increases slowly with α in the range of 14º < α < 50º while the vibration of the displacement hardly changes. In this range, one pronounced peak corresponding to the vortex shedding occurs in their spectral coherences. As α overs 60º, the fluctuations in lift, drag and structural response are impaired, becoming negligibly small. The peak associated with vortex shedding in the spectral coherences is not distinct.
