1. Numerical Simulation of a Pitching Airfoil Under Dynamic Stall of Low Reynolds Number Flow
ABSTRACT: In this research, viscous, unsteady and turbulent fluid flow is simulated numerically around a pitching NACA0012 airfoil in the dynamic stall area. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized based on the finite volume method and are solved by the PIMPLE algorithm in the open source software, namely OpenFOAM. The SST k - ω model is used as the tur
