Wake deviation of a flapping foil: A symmetry-breaking bifurcation


Abstract eng:
The mean deviation of the time-periodic wake observed behind flapping foils is investigated with a two-dimensional linear Wnalysis. A method preserving the spatio-temporal flow symmetry imposed by the foil motion is specifically developed to determine the non-deviated flow. A Floquet stability analysis of this time-periodic flow then shows the existence of an unstable real Floquet mode for a pitching frequency corresponding to the onset of the mean wake deviation.
