Sensing of vortex shedding in unsteady airfoil flows can be beneficial in controlling and positively harnessing their effects for increased aerodynamic performance. The time variation of the leading-edge suction parameter (LESP), which is a non-dimensional measure of the leading-edge suction force, is shown to be useful in deducing the various events related to vortex shedding from unsteady airfoils. The recently developed leading-edge flow sensing (LEFS) technique, which uses a few pressures in the airfoil leading-edge region for deducing the aerodynamic state of an airfoil, is adapted to deduce the variation of LESP during an unsteady motion in incompressible flow. For this purpose, the flow over the airfoil is divided into an outer-region flow over the chord, modeled using thin airfoil theory, and an inner-region flow over the leading edge, modeled as a flow past a parabola. By matching these two flows, relations are derived for calculating the LESP from a few pressures at the leading edge. By studying the variations of the LEFS outputs and the calculated LESP for various unsteady motions, guidelines are presented for detecting events related to vortex shedding: initiation, pinch-off, and termination. Computational and experimental results for additional unsteady motions confirm the effectiveness of the LEFS as a sensing technique for events associated with vortex shedding on unsteady airfoils.
