Study of Energy Harvesting Performance of Oscillating Airfoils using a Discrete Vortex Model

Creator:

Kamrani Fard, Kiana

Abstract:

The energy harvesting performance of oscillating airfoils is studied using a discrete vortex model (DVM) with a leading-edge separation criterion. The airfoil undergoes a combined sinusoidal heaving and pitching motion at reduced frequencies of k = 0.06 − 0.16, with heaving amplitude of h0 = 0.5c, and pitching amplitude of...
