Passing-over leading-edge vortex: The thrust booster in heaving airfoil
The thrust generated by heaving airfoil in incompressible flow is studied both numerically and theoretically. It is found that the behaviors of leading-edge vortex (LEV) under different airfoil’s transverse velocities have an important influence on the thrust. When this velocity is small, the LEV is...
