Fluid Experimental Research on Dual-Vortex Interaction Instability

Article Preview

Abstract:

A series of dual-vortex fulid visualization and interaction instability experiments are undertaken with PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) system under various experimental parameters sets. The motion characteristics and the circulation-time curves of the dual-vortex are presented through PIV processing and analysis. The dual-vortex distance b=50mm, main wingtip angle α1=10° & side wingtip angle α2=8° are optimum experimental parameters for vortices dissipation, the most vortex strength is reduced by 30%-40%
