Effect of vortex-induced vibration of a small cylinder on airfoil aerodynamics
Flow separation often occurs on the suction surface of an airfoil at a high angle of attack
deteriorating the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil. A control column is added at the leading edge of the airfoil to explore the influence of a small cylinder with vortex-induced vibration on the aerodynamic force of the airfoil through numerical simulation. Based on computational fluid dynamics
structural dynamics
and overset mesh technology
this study establishes a 2D-fluid-structure interaction model. Using the NACA0012 airfoil as an example
the flow field of the vortex-induced vibrating cylinder at the leading edge of the airfoil is simulated. The changes in the flow field between stationary and vibrating cylinders are then compared. The flow control mechanism of the small cylinder is analyzed using streamline and vorticity contours. The simulation results show that setting a stationary small cylinder can improve the lift-drag ratio of the airfoil at a high angle of attack. After the small cylinder produces vortex-induced vibration
it can further effectively improve the lift-drag ratio of the airfoil at a high angle of attack by more than 50 %. The introduction of the vortex-induced vibration cylinder considerably enhances the lift-drag ratio of the airfoil at a high angle of attack. This effect implies that the established model is effective for controlling airflow and improving the aerodynamic performance of airfoils.
