We extend the impulse theory for unsteady aerodynamics, from its classic global form to finite-domain formulation then to minimum-domain form, and from incompressible to compressible flows. For incompressible flow, the minimum-domain impulse theory raises the finding of Li and Lu (J. Fluid Mech., 712: 598-613, 2012) to a theorem: The entire force with discrete wake is completely determined by only the time rate of impulse of those vortical structures still connecting to the body, along with the Lamb-vector integral thereof that captures the contribution of all the rest disconnected vortical structures. For compressible flow, we find that the global form in terms of the curl of momentum, obtained by Huang (Unsteady Vortical Aerodynamics. Shanghai Jiaotong Univ. Press, 1994), can be generalized to having arbitrary finite domain, but the formula is cumbersome and in general the curl of momentum no longer has discrete structure and hence no minimum-domain theory exists. Nevertheless, as the measure of transverse process only, the unsteady field of vorticity may still have discrete wake. This leads to a minimum-domain compressible vorticity-moment theory in terms of density-weighted vorticity (but it is beyond the classic concept of impulse). These new findings and applications have been confirmed by our numerical experiments. The results not only open an avenue to combine the theory with computation-experiment in wide applications, but also reveals a physical truth that it is no longer necessary to account for all wake vortical structures in computing the force and moment.
High-fidelity wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES) are utilized to investigate the flow-physics of small-amplitude pitch oscillations of an airfoil at Re = 100,000. The investigation of the unsteady phenomenon is done in the context of natural
Adjoint method is widely used in aerodynamic design because only once solution of flow field is required for adjoint method to obtain the gradients of all design variables. However, the calculation cost of adjoint vector is approximately equal to tha
Recent experiments and simulations have shown that unsteady turbulent flows, before reaching a dynamic equilibrium state, display a universal behaviour. We show that the observed universal non-equilibrium scaling can be explained using a non-equilibr
We extend unsteady thin aerofoil theory to model aerofoils with generalised chordwise porosity distributions. The analysis considers a linearised porosity boundary condition where the seepage velocity through the aerofoil is related to the local pres
This article presents an original methodology for the prediction of steady turbulent aerodynamic fields. Due to the important computational cost of high-fidelity aerodynamic simulations, a surrogate model is employed to cope with the significant vari
