A novel method to improve the accuracy of pressure field estimation from time-resolved Particle Image Velocimetry data is proposed. This generates several new time-series velocity by propagating in time original one using an advection-based model, which assumes that small-scale turbulence advected large-scale motions. Then smoothing performed at corresponding positions across all generated time-series. The process repeated through iterative scheme. proposed technique smears out spatial noise...
The most explored path to obtain pressure fields from Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) data roots its basis on accurate measurement of instantaneous velocity and their corresponding time derivatives. This requires time-resolved measurements, which are often difficult achieve due hardware limitations expensive implement. In alternative, snapshot PIV experiments more affordable but require enforcing physical constraints (e.g. Taylor's hypothesis) extract the derivative field. this work, we...
This study focuses on an active strategy for unsteady-load control by means of a trailing-edge flap. Experiments 2D pitching and heaving NACA 0018 airfoil with actuated flap are performed at reduced frequency in free-stream flow . The model is equipped 24 differential pressure transducers to provide the time-resolved distribution difference between suction sides.
