Large forces and moments overshoots, a delay in dynamic stall, and a hysteresis loop between the values of aerodynamic loads in upstroke and downstroke motion were observed. The dynamic vortex breakdown point was seen to reach the trailing-edge at a smaller angle of attack than it did when in the static case.

The magnitude of the rolling moment coefficient was strongly influenced by the reduced frequency.","For the ramp motion case, aerodynamic forces and moments closely followed those of the oscillatory case during the pitch-up motion. However, upon cessation of the motion, the persistence of the dynamic effects was a strong function of the pitch rate. Terminating the motion at 24 deg. angle of attack produced lower lift and normal force values when the data were compared to their static values. This was caused by the early bursting phenomenon observed during the dynamic motion, thus reducing dynamic lift and normal force coefficients.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:48:22Z (GMT).
