It is found from our experimental study that the tip perturbation and wing longitudinal locations affect significantly the wing rock motion of a wing-body. The natural tip perturbation would make the wing rock motion of a nondeterministic nature and an artificial mini-tip perturbation would make the wing rock motion deterministic. The artificial tip perturbation would, as its circumferential location is varied, generate three different types of motion patterns： （1） limit cycle oscillation, （2） irregular oscillation, （3） equilibrium state with tiny oscillation. The amplitude of rolling oscillation corresponding to the limit cycle oscillatory motion pattern is decreased with the wing location shifting downstream along the body axis.展开更多

The existence of multi asymmetric vortices over long slender bodies was experimentally confirmed at large angles of attack and in the subcritical Reynolds number range. The spatial 3 D characteristics of the multi vortices system were analyzed and a physical model was developed. The topological structure of different patterns in cross flow plane was studied and the mechanism governing the formation of asymmetric vortices and multi vortices was discussed from the viewpoint of stability of the topological structure. It was concluded that the maximum in the sectional side force distribution curve are not caused by the shedding of higher position vortex, but by the cross over to the symmetric plane of the lower position vortex.展开更多

These patterns are completely different from those at other angles of attack. This phenomenon indicates that angle of attack affects wing rock motion. The present study alms to examine the different patterns of wing rock motion at different angles of attack. The flow mechanisms of the motion patterns are also revealed, especially the uncommanded lateral motions, including wing rock and lateral deflection, induced by regular asymmetric separated flow from wings at low angles of attack and fore- body asymmetric vortices at angles of attack of 27.5°〈 α 〈 70°. The test conditions, including the testing Reynolds number, wind tunnel, experimental techniques, and test model, are all the same as those used in a previous study at a = 52.5°. Finally, the experimental technique of rotating nose of the model to suppress the wing rock or lateral deflection, which is induced by forebody asymmetric vortex flow, is applied. The uncommanded lateral motions are successfully suppressed by this technique.展开更多
