Abstract
AbstractThe three-dimensional flow field and instantaneous forces are measured on pitching rectangular, lunate and truncate planforms of aspect-ratio four. The leading-edge vortex on the rectangular planform is compressed as it grows, and subsequently forms an arch-shaped vortex. For the lunate and truncate planforms, which both have identical spanwise leading-edge curvature but differ in planform area, outboard-directed convection of vorticity, rather than vortex stretching, mitigates arch-vortex formation. The vortical near wake that is formed by the planforms with spanwise leading-edge curvature is found to be strongly correlated with a favourable lift-to-drag ratio during the force-relaxation phase.
