The work develops a high-accuracy numerical viscous analysis of nonlinear interaction of SD7003 airfoil with non-uniform, unsteady incoming flow. The study is focused on the low-Re number unsteady flows typical of MAV applications in which a gust encounter can induce a particularly significant aerodynamic and aeroelastic response. Efficient source models are developed to introduce sharp-edge and time-harmonic gust perturbations with specified amplitude, frequency and duration inside the computational domain through the source terms in the governing momentum equations. Parametric analysis of gust-airfoil interactions for different steady airfoil loads is conducted in comparison with equivalent pitch-ramp and time-harmonic pitching simulations. In addition, all obtained solutions are compared with corresponding predictions based on the inviscid, incompressible unsteady aerodynamic theory. The study reveals complex interaction of inviscid and viscous unsteady forces observed for different gust and pitching excitations, and identifies the degree of similarity between the corresponding gust and pitching airfoil responses.
