Effect of trailing edge shape on hydrodynamic damping for a hydrofoil

Mohamed Farhat, Matthieu Dreyer, Zhifeng Yao

Flow induced vibration on a hydrofoil may be significantly reduced with a slight modification of the trailing edge without alteration of the hydrodynamic performance. Particularly, the so called Donaldson trailing edge shape gave remarkable results and is ...

How oblique trailing edge of a hydrofoil reduces the vortex-induced vibration

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Amirreza Zobeiri

The effect of hydrofoil trailing edge shape on the wake dynamic and flow induced vibration is investigated at high Reynolds number, Re = 0.5 x 10(6)-2.9 x 10(6). Two NACA 0009 hydrofoils with blunt and oblique trailing edges are tested. The velocity field ...

Effect of Hydrofoil Trailing Edge Geometry on the Wake Dynamics

Amirreza Zobeiri

In the present study, the effect of a hydrofoil trailing edge shape on the wake dynamic and its interaction with the mechanical structure is investigated. This would help better describe the physical reasons for vibration reduction when using oblique and D ...
