High aerodynamic lift from the tail reduces drag in gliding raptors

Many functions have been postulated for the aerodynamic role of the avian tail during steady-state flight. By analogy with conventional aircraft, the tail might provide passive pitch stability if it produced very low or negative lift. Alternatively, aeronautical principles might suggest strategies that allow the tail to reduce inviscid, induced drag: if the wings and tail act in different horizontal planes, they might benefit from biplane-like aerodynamics; if they act in the same plane, lift from the tail might compensate for lift lost over the fuselage (body), reducing induced drag with a more even downwash profile. However, textbook aeronautical principles should be applied with caution because birds have highly capable sensing and active control, presumably reducing the demand for passive aerodynamic stability, and, because of their small size and low flight speeds, operate at Reynolds numbers two orders of magnitude below those of light aircraft. Here, by tracking up to 20,000, 0.3 mm neutrally buoyant soap bubbles behind a gliding barn owl, tawny owl and goshawk, we found that downwash velocity due to the body/tail consistently exceeds that due to the wings. The downwash measured behind the centreline is quantitatively consistent with an alternative hypothesis: that of constant lift production per planform area, a requirement for minimizing viscous, profile drag. Gliding raptors use lift distributions that compromise both inviscid induced drag minimization and static pitch stability, instead adopting a strategy that reduces the viscous drag, which is of proportionately greater importance to lower Reynolds number fliers

Investigation of trailing-edge noise sources by means of high-speed PIV

Turbulent boundary layers near the trailing-edge of a surface are known to generate intense, broadband scattering noise as well as surface pressure fluctuations. The noise generating mechanisms depend essentially on the radial components of the velocity fluctuations in respect to the trailing edge. Resulting forces may also cause model vibrations, which are additional low frequency noise sources. The high-speed PIV (HS-PIV) technique is applied to an investigation of the spatial and temporal development of coherent structures in a turbulent flat-plate boundary layer flow in the vicinity of the trailing-edge. With time resolved PIV data obtained in the region immediately up- and downstream of the trailing edge an identification of the flow structure movement, which cause the noise sources is possible. On the basis of a large number of time resolved instantaneous velocity vector fields the technique enables also the possibility of determining several statistical quantities of fluid mechanical significance: average velocity profiles, velocity fluctuations (u´, v´), rms-fields, probability density functions and space-time-correlations of the velocity fluctuations, the instantaneous Reynolds stresses (u´v´) of all four quadrants and the z-component of vorticity. A flat plate with an elliptic leading edge was mounted vertically in the AWB, the low noise wind tunnel of DLR, Braunschweig. At a free stream velocity of U = 40 and 50m/s and a stream-wise length of the flat plate of x = 2 m a turbulent boundary layer flow develops and the flow structures convect past the trailing edge

Investigation of a turbulent spot and a tripped turbulent boundary layer flow using time-resolved tomographic PIV

In this feasibility study the tomographic PIV technique has been applied to time resolved PIV recordings for the study of the growth of a turbulent spot in a laminar flat plate boundary layer and to visualize the topology of coherent flow structures within a tripped turbulent flat plate boundary layer flow. The experiments are performed around (Re x )1/2 ? 450 in a low speed wind-tunnel using four high speed CMOS cameras operating up to 5 kHz. The volume illumination required a multiple-reflection system able to intensify light intensity within the measurement volume. This aspect is deemed essential when a high-speed tomographic PIV system is applied in air flows. The particle image recordings are used for a three dimensional tomographic reconstruction of the light intensity distribution within the illuminated volume. Each pair of reconstructed three-dimensional light distributions is analyzed by 3D spatial cross-correlation using iterative multi-grid schemes with volume-deformation, yielding a correlated time sequence of three-dimensional instantaneous velocity vector volumes. The coherent structures organization is analyzed by 3D-vorticity and -swirling-strength iso-surfaces visualization. In both flow types streaks and hairpin-like or arch vortical structures are most prominent. The data gives insight into the role of these structures for the spatio-temporal arrangement of the wall normal flow exchange mechanisms, especially of the instantaneous Reynolds stress events Q2 and Q4. A description of different self-sustainable flow organizations based on modifications of the hairpin-vortex- and streak-models is given. Two preliminary results are essential: Self-sustainability of a coherent vortical structure depends on the ability to entrain high momentum fluid, initially Q4. And, stream-wise swirl at the near-wall region of arch or hairpin-like vortices has been observed to be rare.Aerospace Design, Integration and OperationsAerospace Engineerin
