Description:
Progress towards successful modelling of unsteady flows past two-dimensional oscillating airfoils is examined. Linearized, thin airfoil theory is reviewed with special regard to the vortex shedding which occurs when either the body or the flow fluctuates. A sinusoidally oscillating flat-plate airfoil is considered in terms of noncirculatory components, including boundary conditions and bound and wake vortices, respectively. Applications of linear theory to vertical airfoil oscillations and to oscillating control surfaces are described, and oscillating airfoils in subsonic and supersonic flows are investigated. Perturbations in linear solutions are explored for the occurrence of second-order effects, and trailing edge and wake effects. The effects of unsteady transonic flows are broken into nearly inviscid and strongly viscous cases, and analyses of dynamic stall and stall flutter are presented.
