연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

An airfoil arranged for use in a fluid flow of varying direction relative to the airfoil, has arranged thereon a plural axis hinge for automatic adjustment of the angle of pitch of the airfoil. The airfoil can be applied to a rotary crossflow device for use in a fluid flow of varying apparent flow direction, an oscillating device for use in a fluid flow, a force generation device for use in a fluid flow of varying direction, or a flow control device for use in a fluid flow of alternating direction.

1. An airfoil arranged for use in a fluid flow of varying direction relative to the airfoil, the airfoil being arranged on a plural axis hinge for automatic adjustment of the angle of pitch thereof, in which the plural axis hinge comprises a fixed component and a moving component, the moving component being pivotable under fluid dynamic pressure about each of a first pivot centre and a second pivot centre laterally spaced from the first pivot centre, to cause the hinge to open alternately during use about each of the first and second pivot centres, such that the hinge opens either about the first pivot centre or about the second pivot centre, the airfoil being disposed on the moving component for pivoting movement therewith. 2. An airfoil as claimed in claim 1 in which the plural axis hinge fixed component defines the first and second laterally spaced pivot centres. 3. An airfoil as claimed in claim 1, in which the position of each of the first pivot centre and second pivot centre is changeable with respect to the fixed component during opening of the hinge. 4. An airfoil as claimed in claim 2, in which the action of the moving component, during a transition between the hinge opening about one of the first pivot centre and the second pivot centre and the hinge being open about the other of the first pivot centre and second pivot centre, may be substantially immediate. 5. An airfoil as claimed in claim 2, in which the action of the moving component, during a transition between the hinge opening about one of the first pivot centre and the second pivot centre and the hinge being open about the other of the first pivot centre and second pivot centre, may be a gradual rolling movement. 6. An airfoil as claimed in claim 2 in which the moving component may be arranged to pivot about a plurality of intermediate pivot centers during transitional movement between the first pivot centre and second pivot centre. 7. An airfoil as claimed in claim 2 in which the plural axis hinge further comprises cross-links extending between the fixed component and the moving component. 8. An airfoil as claimed in claim 2 in which a latch mechanism is provided to secure together the fixed component and the moving component and to enable transition of the moving component between opening about the first pivot centre and opening about the second pivot centre. 9. An airfoil as claimed in claim 2, further comprising first and second hydraulic dampers connected to the moving component at each of the first and second pivot centres, the dampers being arranged to secure together the fixed component and the moving component and to enable transition of the moving component between opening about the first pivot centre and opening about the second pivot centre. 10. An airfoil as claimed in claim 1 in which the fluid is water. 11. An airfoil as claimed in claim 10 in which the water flows or moves and is tidal flow, river flow, orbital motion of water in waves, ocean current or the like. 12. An airfoil as claimed in claim 1 in which the airfoil comprises a leading edge and a trailing edge, and being arranged such that, under normal operational conditions of the device using the airfoil, the leading edge always faces an oncoming flow direction and the trailing edge always faces away from the oncoming flow direction. 13. An airfoil as claimed in claim 12 in which a pivot centerline of the plural axis hinge is defined as a virtual line passing through the first and second pivot centres, and in which the hinge is mounted to the airfoil such that, when the hinge is in a fully closed position, the pivot centreline is disposed substantially perpendicularly to a chord of the airfoil. 14. An airfoil as claimed in claim 1 in which the airfoil comprises opposing surfaces, and a leading edge and a trailing edge which are arranged to alternate during use thereof to ensure that a surface of the airfoil facing the generally higher fluid pressure always remains the same and the surface facing the lower fluid pressure always remains the same. 15. An airfoil as claimed in claim 14 in which a pivot centreline of the plural axis hinge is defined as a virtual line passing through the first and second pivot centres, and in which the hinge is mounted to the airfoil such that, when the hinge is in a fully closed position, the pivot centerline is disposed substantially parallel to a chord of the airfoil. 16. A rotary crossflow device for use in a fluid flow of varying apparent flow direction, the device comprising a rotor shaft aligned substantially perpendicularly to the fluid flow, at least one airfoil as claimed in claim 2 pivotally arranged in parallel with the rotor shaft, the airfoil being disposed in spaced relationship from the rotor shaft on a support connected to the rotor shaft. 17. A rotary crossflow device as claimed in claim 16 in which the device is a rotary crossflow power generator. 18. A rotary crossflow device as claimed in claim 16 in which the device is a rotary crossflow propeller. 19. An oscillating device for use in a fluid flow, the device comprising a reciprocating element and at least one airfoil as claimed in claim 2 arranged on the reciprocating element such that, as the reciprocating element is at its mid-stroke position and the hinge is in a fully closed position, a chord of the airfoil is disposed substantially parallel to the mean fluid flow direction. 20. An oscillating device for use in a fluid flow, the device comprising a reciprocating element and at least one airfoil as claimed claim 2 arranged on the reciprocating element such that, as the reciprocating element is at its mid-stroke position and the hinge is in a fully closed position, a chord of the airfoil is disposed substantially perpendicularly to the mean fluid flow direction. 21. An oscillating device as claimed in claim 19 in which the device is a power generator. 22. An oscillating device as claimed in claim 19 in which the device is a propulsor. 23. A force generation device for use in a fluid flow of varying direction, the device comprising an airfoil as claimed in claim 1 in which the airfoil comprises opposing surfaces, and a leading edge and a trailing edge which are arranged to alternate during use thereof to ensure that a surface of the airfoil facing the generally higher fluid pressure always remains the same and the surface facing the lower fluid pressure always remains the same. 24. A force generation device as claimed in claim 23 in which the plural axis hinge fixed component defines first and second laterally spaced pivot centres and in which the hinge includes a pivot centerline defined as a virtual line passing through the first and second pivot centres, and in which the hinge is mounted such that, when the hinge is in a fully closed position, the pivot centerline lies substantially parallel with a chord of the airfoil. 25. A force generation device as claimed in claim 23, provided adjacent a rotary crossflow power generator. 26. A flow control device for use in a fluid flow of alternating direction, the device comprising an airfoil as claimed in claim 1 and in which the airfoil comprises opposing surfaces, and a leading edge and a trailing edge which are arranged to alternate during use thereof to ensure that a surface of the airfoil facing the generally higher fluid pressure always remains the same and the surface facing the lower fluid pressure always remains the same. 27.
