The TILS (turbulence integral length scale) of the turbulent wake of hydrofoil with blunt trailing edge is calculated from TR-PIV (time-resolved particle image velocimetry) data. The temporal auto-correlation method based on Taylor hypothesis and spatial correlation method are used to get the TILS information of the turbulent wake of hydrofoil, respectively The comparison of results by two methods indicates that the spatial correlation method is independent on Taylor hypothesis and suitable to strong turbulence and non-isotropic turbulence.展开更多

The experiment was carried out in a low speed wind tunnel with a test section of 0.5 m x 0.5 m. The Reynolds number (Re), defined by the chord length of the wing (C), was 8.1 x 104. The angle of attack was fixed at 10~. The PIV measurements were made from 0 to 2C, measured from the trailing edge of the model. The dihedral angle of three flaps was -15~, 0~ and 15~, respectively. Compared with the clean airfoil, the one with three flaps significantly changed the wing tip vortex structure, the vorticity and the core of the wing tip vortex. The occurrence of three flaps decreased the gradient of pressure on the two sides of the wing tip, which depressed wing tip vortex formation to some extent. Vortices shed from three flaps influence the evolution of the wingtip vortex generated by the base airfoil. The interaction of those vortices resulted in a weakening of the wing tip vortex.展开更多
