Effects of a moveable trailing-edge flap (in the dynamic-load loops of an oscillating NACA 0015 airfoil were investigated at Re = 1.65 x 10(5). Both upward and downward flat) deflections for different flat) actuation start times, durations, and amplitudes were considered. Surface pressure measurements show that only upward flap deflections led to the reduction of nose-down pitching moment, and that the larger the flap deflection the more efficient the reduction mechanism was. The shorter (lie actuation duration the smaller the poststall lift loss. The reduction of the peak nose-down pitching moment was a consequence of the suction pressure appearing oil the lower surface of the trailing-edge flap. The formation and detachment of the dynamic-stall vortex was not affected by the flap motion, whereas the low-pressure signature of the vortex was reduced by the upward flap deflection. The later the flap actuation during the upstroke, the greater the net torsional damping was. Optimum flap motion is also discussed.
