Simulations of the flow over a heaving NACA0012 finite wing are conducted to study the effect of sweep on the separated flow phenomena on the suction surface. An extensively-validated high-fidelity largeeddy simulation (LES) approach is used to examine the unsteady aerodynamic loads and flow structures at Reynolds number Rec = 20,000 based on the chord. The simulations are carried out for reduced frequency k=0.94, a chord-normalized peak-to-peak amplitude of A/c=0.5, sweep angles ⇤ = 0 and ⇤ = 40 and angle of attack of 15 , representing post-stall conditions. Comparisons to experiment show good agreement in the time-averaged lift for ⇤ = 0 . The effect of sweep was found to result in a decrease in the time-averaged lift, maximum lift value as well as a delay in the dynamic stall process. A series of instantaneous spanwise vorticity plots show significant spanwise variations in the reverse flow region that develops over the suction surface during the start of the downstroke, giving rise to instabilities in the detached shear layer. For ⇤ = 0 the LEV is highly three-dimensional near the tip region whereas it appears to be more two-dimensional for ⇤ = 40 . A comparison of the ⇤ = 0 swept-wing with span-periodic (2D) computations show strong similarities of the dynamic stall vortex structure around the mid span region.
