Abstract
Traveling wave is an innovative active flow control technique that can remarkably mitigate flow separation. This paper employs numerical simulation to examine how traveling wave structures affect the NACA0012 airfoil. The traveling wave structure is situated at 0.5% c from the leading edge. In the chord direction, its projection length is 0.1 c . Through numerical simulation, the impacts of dimensionless length-width ratio and velocity of traveling wave on flow separation are investigated, and the relationship between the traveling wave's optimal parameters and angle of attack is explored. The outcomes demonstrate that traveling waves with suitable length-width ratios and velocities can effectively suppress flow separation. When AoA =16°, traveling wave airfoil with dimensionless velocity U =1.1 and length-width ratio A =1 achieves the best performance, and its lift-drag ratio is 9.24 times that of the original NACA0012 airfoil. The optimal dimensionless length-width ratio and velocity of the traveling wave airfoil are associated with the angle of attack, and different parameters need to be chosen at various angles of attack to attain optimum effect.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics (JAFM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal which covers a wide range of theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects in fluid mechanics. The emphasis is on the applications in different engineering fields rather than on pure mathematical or physical aspects in fluid mechanics. Although many high quality journals pertaining to different aspects of fluid mechanics presently exist, research in the field is rapidly escalating. The motivation for this new fluid mechanics journal is driven by the following points: (1) there is a need to have an e-journal accessible to all fluid mechanics researchers, (2) scientists from third- world countries need a venue that does not incur publication costs, (3) quality papers deserve rapid and fast publication through an efficient peer review process, and (4) an outlet is needed for rapid dissemination of fluid mechanics conferences held in Asian countries. Pertaining to this latter point, there presently exist some excellent conferences devoted to the promotion of fluid mechanics in the region such as the Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics which began in 1980 and nominally takes place in one of the Asian countries every two years. We hope that the proposed journal provides and additional impetus for promoting applied fluids research and associated activities in this continent. The journal is under the umbrella of the Physics Society of Iran with the collaboration of Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) .
