Airfoil-vortex interaction and the wake of an oscillating airfoil

Laser Doppler velocimetry, a non-intrusive flow measurement technique, was employed to experimentally investigate two-dimensional airfoil-vortex interaction. Vortices were generated by sinusoidally oscillating a NACA 0012 airfoil about its quarter-chord at a reduced frequency of k = 2.05 and an ampl...
