In the fully developed airflow of a non-return subsonic wind tunnel using flow visualization and a digital image-processing method, an experimental study of the flow kinematics along and behind a hollow NACA 4416 adaptive airfoil at Reynolds number Re = 1000 was performed. The study was performed in two parts: first the observation of flow transformation at temporal stationary changes of the airfoil shape was performed, and the second part of the analysis focused on the transformation of the flow at periodic time-pulsating airfoil deformations. The shape of a previously geometrically calibrated airfoil was modified with periodic pressure changes inside the airfoil. The basic frequency of the vortex street behind the airfoil is changed under the influence of the pulsating frequency of the airfoil. A CCD camera was used to capture smoke visualization images of the turbulent airflow wake, illuminated by the light sheet. A quantitative analysis was made on time series, obtained by simultaneous digitization of the grey level in several small areas (windows) of the overall image. The flow field along and behind the airfoil exhibited various frequency spectra and standard deviations. With the help of the computer-aided visualization method, structural flow changes were investigated, i.e. variations of the wake frequency response and respective amplitudes depending on the airfoil pulsation frequency. Results show that periodic changes of the airfoil shape have an affect on the flow structure along and behind the airfoil, i.e. the amplitude and frequency of the wake, and the location of a separation point. There may exist possibilities for adaptive flow kinematics variation along and behind the airfoil.
