Fig. 3. Calculated circulation and subsequent force. (A) Although measurements were
made during separate digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) experiments,
spanwise (
z) and chordwise (
x) circulation
show similar strength profiles along the wing. (B) Using values for spanwise
vorticity (
z) in the KuttaZhukovski equation,
sectional lift values at both Re are maximum near 0.65R,
with high Re generating more lift along the outer third of the
wing.
