Time-resolved scanning tomography PIV measurements around a flapping wing
Résumé
The three-dimensional flow that develops around a finite flapping wing is investigated using a tomographic scanning PIV technique. The acquisition and correlation processes employed to achieve such measure- ments have been carefully validated. Issues regarding the relevant timescales of the flow and the spanwise space- resolution are addressed. Results obtained on a hovering flapping wing whose plunging phase is described by a rectilinear motion highlight the influence of the free end condition and the formation of the tip vortex on the leading edge vortices behavior, wing/wake interactions, and wake stabilization.
