| Abstract: | The objective of this study is to deal with unsteady force acting on a pitching foil in shear flow and to study the relation of the force characteristics with vortex shedding near the foil. The two dimensional incompressible Navier Stokes equations in the vorticity and stream function formulation were solved with the fourth order essentially compact finite difference schemes for the space derivatives and a fourth order Runge Kutta scheme for the time advancement. The force characteristics and vortex shedding of the pitching foil in shear flows were investigated. The effects of some typical factors, including the incoming flow shear, the oscillating frequency and amplitude, on the vortex shedding and force behavior were analyzed and discussed. |
