Determination of angle of attack for rotating blades
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
For a rotating blade the flow passing by a blade section is bended due to the rotation and the local flow field is influenced by the bound circulation on the blade. As a further complication, 3-D effects from tip and root vortices do a precise definition of the angle of attack (AOA) a difficult task. Two methods for determining the AOA on rotating blade from velocity and pressure measurements are presented.

Influences of surface temperature on a low camber airfoil aerodynamic performances
The current note refers to the comparison between a NACA 2510 airfoil with adiabatic walls and the same airfoil with heated patches. Both suction and pressure sides were divided into two regions covering the leading edge...
Influence of drag force upon the shortest time trajectory of an aircraft
The shortest time trajectory of an aircraft between two given locations is determined using a simple mathematical model. By taking into account the drag force (viscous friction force with the air), a problem of variation...
Thrust and jet directional control using the Coanda effect
The application of the Coandă effect to the directional control of a jet or thrust is presented. Deviation of the thrust force by direct flow can be achieved by using the Coandă effect to change the angle of the primary...
Using genetic algorithms to optimize airfoils in incompressible regime
Aerodynamic optimization is a very actual problem in aircraft design and airfoils are basic two-dimensional shape forming cross sections of wings. Traditionally, the airfoil geometry if defined by a very large number of...
