Fig. 4. Comparison of the measurements of unsteady coefficients of lift (red) and
drag (blue) with the cross-flow vortex model. The steady measurements are also
included. Tow speed is 1.34 m s–1. Motion parameters are
0=30°,
0=15°, f=1.25 Hz,
U
=1.34 m s–1, span=20 cm,
Bias=0°, St=0.26. St is Strouhal
number defined as
2f
0Ravg/U
,
where f is the frequency of oscillation.
