Characteristics of vortex shedding from a sinusoidally pitching hydrofoil at high Reynolds number

This experimental study characterizes vortex shedding from a sinusoidally pitching hydrofoil at high Reynolds number, reveals the effects of pitching amplitude, reduced frequency, and Reynolds number on the dynamic force responses beyond the linear inviscid theory, and sheds light on the correlation between vortex shedding regimes and dynamic force responses for a high Reynolds number pitching hydrofoil.
