A Modified Van Der Pol Oscillator Model for the Unsteady Lift Produced by a Flapping Flat Plate for Different Positions of the Rotation Axis

To understand the nonlinear interaction between unsteady aerodynamic forces and the kinematics of structures, we theoretically and numerically investigated the characteristics of lift coefficients produced by a flapping thin flat plate controlled by the rotation axis position. The flat plate was pla...
