Description:
Two dimensional biconvex airfoils were oscillated at reduced frequencies up to 0.5 based on semi-chord and a free stream Mach number of 0.80 to simulate transonic stall flutter in rotors. Steady-state periodicity was confirmed through end-wall pressure measurements, exit flow traverses, and flow visualization. The initial flow visualization results from flutter tests indicated that the oscillating shock on the airfoils lagged the airfoil motion by as much as 80 deg. These initial data exhibited an appreciable amount of scatter; however, a linear fit of the results indicated that the greatest shock phase lag occurred at a positive interblade phase angle. Photographs of the steady-state and unsteady flow fields reveal some of the features of the lambda shock wave on the suction surface of the airfoils.
