The vortex shedding characteristics of three airfoils held at static angles of attack through 360 deg are presented with a focus on reverse flow (150≤α≤180 deg). Wind tunnel testing was performed on one airfoil with a sharp trailing edge (NACA 0012) and two airfoils featuring a blunt trailing edge (ellipse and DBLN-526). Time-resolved particle image velocimetry and smoke flow visualization were used to identify three reverse flow wake regimes: slender body vortex shedding, turbulent, and deep stall vortex shedding. The slender body regime is present for low angles of attack and low Reynolds numbers. In the turbulent regime, separation occurs in reverse flow at the sharp aerodynamic leading edge of a NACA 0012, whereas flow separation occurs further down the chord of airfoils with a blunt geometric trailing edge. The deep stall vortex shedding frequency was measured using unsteady force balance measurements. The Strouhal number Std (based on the projected diameter d of the airfoils) was found to be 0.145–...
