In this research, viscous, unsteady and turbulent fluid flow is simulated numerically around a pitching NACA0012 airfoil in the dynamic stall area. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized based on the finite volume method and are solved by the PIMPLE algorithm in the open source software, namely OpenFOAM. The SST k - ω model is used as the turbulence model for Low Reynolds Number flows in the order of 105. A homogenous dynamic mesh is used to reduce cell skewness of mesh to prevent non-physical oscillations in aerodynamic forces unlike previous studies. In this paper, the effects of Reynolds number, reduced frequency, oscillation amplitude and airfoil thickness on aerodynamic force coefficients and dynamic stall delay are investigated. These parameters have a significant impact on the maximum lift, drag, the ratio of aerodynamic forces and the location of dynamic stall. The most important parameters that affect the maximum lift to drag coefficient ratio and cause dynamic stall delaying are airfoil thickness and reduced frequency, respectively.

Purpose The purpose of this study is simulation of dynamic stall behavior around the Eppler 387 airfoil in the low Reynolds number flow with a direct-forcing immersed boundary (DFIB) numerical model. Design/methodology/approach A ray-casting method is used to define the airfoil geometry. The governing continuity and Navier–Stokes momentum equations and boundary conditions are solved using the DFIB method. Findings The purposed method is validated against numerical results from alternative schemes and experimental data on static and oscillating airfoil. A base flow regime and different vortices patterns are observed, in accordance with other previously published investigations. Also, the effects of the reduced frequency, the pitch oscillation amplitude and the Reynolds number are studied. The results show that the reduced frequency has a major effect on the flow field and the force coefficients of the airfoil. On the other hand, the Reynolds number of the flow has a little effect on the dynamic stall characteristics of the airfoil at least in the laminar range. Practical implications It is demonstrated that the DFIB model provides an accurate representation of dynamic stall phenomenon. Originality/value The results show that the dynamic stall behavior around the Eppler 387 is different than the general dynamic stall behavior understanding in the shedding phase.
