文摘The two-dimensional wake produced by a time-periodic pitching foil with the asymmetric geometry is investigated in the present work.Through numerically solving nonlinear Navier–Stokes equations,we discuss the relationship among the kinematics of the prescribed motion,the asymmetric parameter K ranged as-1≤K≤1,and the types of the wakes including the mP+nS wake,the B′enard–von K′arm′an wake,the reverse B′enard–von K′arm′an wake,and the deviated wake.Compared with previous studies,we reveal that the asymmetric geometry of a pitching foil directly affects the foil's wake structures.The numerical results show that the reverse B′enard–von K′arm′an wake is easily deviated at K〈0,while the symmetry-breaking of the reverse B′enard–von K′arm′an wake is delayed at K〉0.Through the vortex dynamic method,we understand that the initial velocity of the vortex affected by the foil's asymmetry plays a key role in the deviation of the reverse B′enard–von K′arm′an wake.Moreover,we provide a theoretical model to predict the wake deviation of the asymmetric foil.
