Abstract

Isolated stationary airfoils of simple geometry were tested in incompressible flow in order to study the combined aerodynamic effects of sweep, spanwise changing circulation, and their combination. Endwall effects were excluded from the studies. The tool of study was computational fluid dynamics, supplemented with wind tunnel experiments involving laser Doppler anemometry and flow visualisation. The computational results suggested unloading effects due to leading and trailing edge sweep. A model has been proposed for the description of such effects. It has been rendered probable that harmonization of the sweep with the spanwise circulation gradient results in reduction of the fluid pathline length on the suction side, giving a potential for reduction of profile losses.
