Velocity of 3.5 for oscillating airfoil - logical? -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

April 13, 2006, 01:12	Velocity of 3.5 for oscillating airfoil - logical?	#1
quarkz Guest Posts: n/a	Hi, I am simulating flow past an oscillating airfoil. It is oscillating up/down with a sin function ie y=sin(t). vel y, v=cos(t), hence, max v=1. Inlet velocity is u=1. However, near the front top end of the airfoil, where a vortex is formed, I have velocity vectors as large as 3.5. Is this logical? Hope someone can give some advice. Thank you very much
