The difference between these equations for Dynamic Pitching?
I'm attempting to analyze a 2D airfoil in a pitching motion. However I have seen so many UDF defining the pitching motion like these...
/* define motion variables */ pitchampl = 45 * pi / 180; /* 45-degree pitch amplitude */ w = 2 * pi * 25; /* 25 Hz frequency */ /* define airfoil motion */ (1) omega[2] = w * pitchampl * cos(w * time); (2) omega[2] = w * pitchampl * sin(w * time); I have also seen this equation (3) omega[2] = 0.5 * pitchampl * sin(w*time); Please I need help with the difference between these equations(1,2 and 3), which is the correct one for pitching motion of airfoil ? Is it sin or cos ? Thanks |
