A computational and experimental investigation of the propulsive and lifting characteristics of oscillating airfoils and airfoil combinations in incompressible flow

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === Computational and experimental methods have been used to systematically study one and two airfoils undergoing unsteady motion. first, a single airfoil analysis with the modified computer code, U2DIFF. thrust, efficiency, and phase relation...
