2 I. Introduction IO-INSPIRED aerodynamic design and corresponding academic researches have been stimulated by the need Bfor Micro-Air-Vehicles (MAVs) in the past decade. Since fixed wings work less efficiently in the range of Reynolds number in insect flight 1 (about to ), two main wing motions are utilized in current MAV designs: rotary- and flapping wings. Since It is regarded that the propulsive efficiency of an idealized flapping wing is greater than that of a simplified propeller model because of the disadvantageous trailing vorte system generated by the propeller 2. Besides, flapping wing motion, as inspired by bird and insect flight, is much more attractive. Flapping-wing systems generally involve the wing completing pitching, plunging, and sweeping components of motion over a flapping cycle 3, and it creates swirling of air and generates aerodynamic forces that allow insects to dart forward, to turn, and to hover, as reported by Wang 4. Considering the intricacies behind them and lacking of exact theory and accurate measuring techniques, it is quite challenging to completely understand the aerodynamics of birds/insects wing flapping. Further details of bio-inspired aerodynamics developments can refer to comprehensive reviews by Wang 4 and Shy et al. 5. Although there are plenty of research insterests in this topic, wake pattern or wake formation investigation attracts most attention. It is well known that flapping airfoils/wings generate thrust at certain combinations of flapping frequency and amplitude. Koochesfahani 6 studied the wake patterns of an oscillating airfoil pitching at small amplitudes through the dye visualization and Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV), and it was observed that wake patterns could be influenced by the frequency, amplitude and most important, the shape of the oscillation wave. Previous researches 7-9 reported that optimum propulsion efficiency for a flapping airfoil/wing (defined as the ratio of aerodynamic/hydrodynamics power output to mechanical power input) would be within the range of. Hu et al. 10 investigated the unsteady vortex structures in the wake of a root-fixed flapping wing ( ), which revealed that 3-D flapping wing would be much more complicated compared with those in the wakes of 2-D flapping airfoils. To simplify the problem without losing the generality, this paper will focus on the pitching motion in 2-D. For plunging case, qualitative and quantitative comparisons conducted by Jones et al. 11 were excellent over a broad range of reduced frequencies and Strouhal numbers. They reported that the formation and evolution of the thrust-indicative wake structures were primarily inviscid phenomena and demonstrated asymmetric, deflected wake patterns came up at Stouhal numbers greater than about 0.1. Lai and Platzer 12 and Young and Lai 13 respectively reported their results of an oscillating NACA 0012 airfoil at a Reynolds number of experimentally and numerically. Both revealed a change from a von Karman vortex street to (1) multiple-vortex-per-half-cycle wake patterns for drag-producing conditions, through (2) more complicated vortex structures as the neutral thrust condition was approached, to (3) a reverse von Karman vortex street for thrust-producing conditions. Futher experimental investigations on asymmetric wake were conducted with PIV measurements. It was shown that the onset of wake asymmetry (amplitude ratio of 0.215) would occur in the Strouhal number range, and the direction of the wake deflection was established when the motion was initiated and remains unchanged For pichting case, Yu et al demonstrated the existence of three similar wake formation as that in plunging case, and the deflected wake was found to appear at approximately Strouhal number 0.31 and reduced frequency 15.1 for the pitching amplitude. Besides, it was obtained that the reduce frequency would affect the strength of the shedding vortices and further affected the formation of the asymmetric wake. In the numerical simulations, the direction of deflection wake was determeined by the initial phase angle, which was consistence with the plunging case. However, this result cannot be confirmed by the corresponding experiments. In this paper, an experimental investigation on the asymmetric wake formation of an oscillating airfoil were conducted with PIV measurements. The effect of Strouhal number, reduced frequency, mean AOA and amplitude on the wake asymmetry were analyzed. 2
3 II. Experimental Setup The experiments were performed in a closed-circuit low-speed wind tunnel located in the Aerospace Engineering Department of Iowa State University. The tunnel has a test section with a 1 1 ft (30 30 cm) cross section and all the walls of the test section optically transparent. The wind tunnel has a contraction section upstream the test section with honeycomb, screen structures and cooling system installed ahead of the contraction section to provide uniform low turbulent incoming flow to enter the test section. A uniform freestream velocity of is maintained in the test section during the present study. The airfoil used in the present laboratory was a NACA 0012 airfoil. The NACA 0012 had the maximum thickness of 12% of the chord length. This airfoil was common symmetric airfoil in researches. The chord length of the airfoil was 4 inch ( 101mm) and spanwise length of 11.5 inch ( 292.1mm). A linkage mechanism was used to provide the sinusoidal piching motion ( ). Readers who were interested in the details may refer to the conference paper by Yu et al. 17. Figure 1 shows the experimental setup used for the PIV measurement. During the experiment, the test airfoil was installed in the middle of the test section. A PIV system was used to make flow velocity field measurements along the chord at the middle span of the airfoils. The flow was seeded with 1~5 μm oil droplets. Illumination was provided by a double-pulsed Nd:YAG laser (NewWave Research Solo) adjusted on the second harmonic and emitting two pulses of 200 mj at the wavelength of 532 nm with a repetition rate of 2 Hz. The laser beam was shaped to a sheet by a set of mirrors, spherical and cylindrical lenses. The thickness of the laser sheet in the measurement region is about 0.5mm. A high resolution 12-bit (1600 x 1200 pixel) CCD camera (PCO-1600, CookeCorp) was used for PIV image acquisition with the axis of the camera perpendicular to the laser sheet. The CCD cameras and the double-pulsed Nd:YAG lasers were connected to a workstation (host computer) via a Digital Delay Generator (DDG, Berkeley Nucleonics, Model 565), which controlled the timing of the laser illumination and the image acquisition. For phase-lock measurement, the delay generator was connected to a digital pulse generator to provide a trigger signal, which obtained from a tachometer. For the post processing, each phase lock result is averaged from 150 frames while time averaged results from 1035 frames. The PIV velocity vectors were obtained by using a frame-to-frame cross-coorelation technique in an interrogation windown of pixels with an effective overlap of of the interrogation windows. The vorticity was computed from the velocity fields. Figure 1 Experimental setup for the PIV measurements III. Results and Discussions For the results reported here, the free-stream velocity was approximately, resulting in a chord Reynolds number of 3,500 and Strouhal number within for different mean AOA. Figure 2 depicted all the experiments conducted. It was shown that our study reproduced evolution of the wake formation behind an oscillating NACA 0012 airfoil by Yu et al Besides, with further investigation, more interesting results had been obtained. In this section Experimental results on wake structures/formation from PIV measurements will be discussed. 3

Effect of Strouhal number In section A, the effect of Strouhal number on the wake formation of an oscillating airfoil is discussed. In Figure 2, all the experiments are divided into four regions based on the specific wake formation from our PIV results. The four regions can be referred to: (A) drag-type, momentum deficit:, (B) neutral-type:, (C) thrust-type, momentum surplus:, and (D) thrust/lift-type:. Figure 3-7 display the wake transition processes from the drag-type to the thrust/lift-type. Each figure represents one of the wake structures, and provides the phase-lock results at. The corresponding velocity vectors for each phase are also plotted in these figures. For simplicity of reading, the vectors are given here on every other node. (Skip = 2 in both X and Y direction) In the meantime, only the tail of NACA 0012 is shown, and the max AOA is with a zero mean AOA. Note that all the phase-lock results are plotted in a translated coordinate for convenience. ( ). It is clearly shown that in Figure 3 negative vorticity is over the positive one in the vortex street, which resulting in a momentum deficit 10,17. Figure 4 indicates a neutral-type wake and Figure 5 shows a thrust-type wake, which characterized by positive vorticity staying on the top of the vortex street. During our experiments, neautral-type wake is difficult to obtain since very little disturbance can make the wake into either drag-type or thrust-type. Also, one can justify this from Figure 2, the region B, which refers to neutral type, is narrow indeed. Onset of the aysmmetric wake occurs at a Strouhal number of 0.32, which is consistent with the conclusion by Yu et al. 17. Although the deflection angle is quite small, from Figure 8, it is shown that the peak of velocity profile inclines to lower, indicating the whole vortex street is asymmetric. The same phenomenon, but much more clearly, can be found when. And at a larger Strouhal number, the deflection angle is larger. In our results, only a stable bottom-side deflection wake is obtained, while a top-side deflection wake can be found at the start of wind tunnel. With Strouhal number increasing, the vortex strength (characterized by vorticity) becomes stronger. Comparing Figure 5 with Figure 6, it can be found that the latter one has larger high-vorticity region. In the meantime, comparing Figure 6 with Figure 7, from vorticity contour, vortex pairs are more likely to stay close at. That means the oscillating airfoils can gain more momentum from the flowfields with larger Strouhal number. Once the momentum obtained exceeds a critical value, the wake formation will change. In Ref. 17, the question can the deflective direction of the wake be changed? is discussed, here, two more factors will be investigated: the amplitude and mean value of AOA. 4
5 B. Effect of amplitude In this section B, the dependency of the deflective direction of the asymmetric wake on the amplitude of AoA is examined. Figure 2 (a) shows region A, C and D are investigated in this paper. All the cases in this section are at a zero mean AOA. In Figure 9, it is depicted that with amplitude increasing the distance between vortex street becomes larger, and unit vortex strength goes weeker. For, the extrema of vorticity is around, while for, the extrema can reach over. Figure 9 (b) plots the mean velocity profiles of all three cases at. It can be found that, the peak of velocity delines as increasing amplitude, which indicates that the vortex interactions become weaker and the area of each one is ( ), respectively. This result means that larger amplitude may cause slightly lower ability of obtaining momemtum from surrounding flowfields. Hence, it can be deduced that the onset of asymmetric wake occurs later at a larger amplitude. C. Effect of mean AOA In this section C, the dependency of the deflective direction of the asymmetric wake on the mean value of AoA is examined. Figure 2 (b) shows region A, C and D are investigated in this paper. All the cases in this section are at a amplitude of and a Strouhal number of ( corresponding reduced frequency is ). Interestingly, it is shown that the direction of wak asymmetry can be eliminated or reversed as mean AOA increasing. Specifically, comparing case and, the deflection angle becomes smaller. When, the asymmetric wake is eliminated, and in the downstream the wake is more likely to incline to the upper side. At negative mean AOA, a curve of negative vorticity (in blue) on the upper side is obvious. This flow structure can be referred to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. With the mean AOA decreasing, the strength of the upper side negative vorticity becomes stronger, while the lower side one goes weaker. Hence, it is clear that the wake formation is strongly dependent on the mean value of AOA. IV. Conclusion Bio-inspired aerodynamic designs have been mutually promoted by the studies on flapping wings in the past decades. Among the tons of researches topics, the wake formation/structure of an oscillating airfoil is more attractive, and it results in the development of both numerical methods and flow diagnostics techniques. In the previous work, wake strucutres behind a sinusoidally pitching NACA 0012 have been studied with both experimental and numerical approaches. It was reported that Strouhal number was considered to be a vital element to form the asymmetric wake, and the direction of wake symmetry was sensitive to the alignment of the wind tunnel. In this paper, an experimental investigation on the asymmetric wake formation was studied. Firstly, the evolution of wake structures with increasing Strouhal number was reproduced successfully with PIV measurements. It was confirmed that the wake would experienced four modes: (a) drag-type; (b) neutral-type; (c) thrust-type; and (d) thrust/lift-type. In the meantime, the oscillating airfoils can gain more momentum from the flowfields with larger Strouhal number. Secondly, with further experiments, the effect of Strouhal number, the amplitude and mean value of AOA on the asymmetric wake formation had been investigated. Results showed that the distance between vortex street became larger with increasing amplitude, while mean strength of vortices declined. Besides, it can be deduced that the onset of asymmetric wake occurred later at a larger amplitude. Thirdly, it was clear that the wake formation was strongly dependent on the mean value of AOA. Specifically, based on our experiments, the direction of wake asymmetry changed at a and. On the other hand, at negative mean AOA, to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability was obvious on the upper side. With the mean AOA decreasing, the strength of the upper side negative vorticity became stronger, while the lower side one went weaker. Futher work will focus on the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of the current results and conclusions.
