The performance and cavitation characteristics of marine propellers and hydrofoils are strongly affected by tip vortex behavior. A number of previous computational studies have been done on tip vortices, both in aerodynamic and marine applications. The focus, however, has primarily been on validating methods for prediction and advancing the understanding of tip-vortex formation in general, rather than showing effects of tip modifications on tip vortices. Studies of the most relevance to the current work include computational studies by Dacles-Mariani et al. (1995) and Hsiao and Pauley (1998, 1999). Daeles-Mariani et al. carried out interactively a computational and experimental study of the wingtip vortex in the near field using a full Navier-Stokes simulation, accompanied with the Baldwin-Barth turbulence model. Although they showed improvement over numerical results obtained by previous researchers, the tip vortex strength was underpredicted. Hsiao and Pauley (1998) studied the steady-state tip vortex flow over a finite-span hydrofoil, also using the Baldwin-Barth turbulence model. They were able to achieve good agreement in pressure distribution and oil flow pattern with experimental data and accurately predict vertical and axial velocities of the tip vortex core within the near-field region. Far downstream, however, the computed flow field was overly diffused within the tip vortex core. Hsiao and Pauley (1999) also carried out a computational study of the tip vortex flow generated by a marine propeller. The general characteristics of the flow were well predicted but the vortex core was again overly diffused.

We investigate experimentally the force generated by the unsteady vortex formation of low-aspect-ratio normal flat plates with one end free. The objective of this study is to determine the role of the free end, or tip, vortex. Understanding this simple case provides insight into flapping-wing propulsion, which involves the unsteady motion of low-aspect-ratio appendages. As a simple model of a propulsive half-stroke, we consider a rectangular normal flat plate undergoing a translating start-up motion in a towing tank. Digital particle image velocimetry is used to measure multiple perpendicular sections of the flow velocity and vorticity, in order to correlate vortex circulation with the measured plate force. The three-dimensional wake structure is captured using flow visualization. We show that the tip vortex produces a significant maximum in the plate force. Suppressing its formation results in a force minimum. Comparing plates of aspect ratio six and two, the flow is similar in terms of absolute distance from the tip, but evolves faster for aspect ratio two. The plate drag coefficient increases with decreasing aspect ratio.
