Progress towards modelling unsteady forces using a drift-volume approach
Classical potential flow added mass theory does not appear to account for all the force experienced by an accelerating body, especially in separated flow. The drift-volume method has shown good agreement with experiment for a highly accelerated case [1], and has been extended in this study to a kinematics-based force model. An optical towing tank facility is used to measure the forces and flow around a circular flat plate normal to the free stream fora range of acceleration moduli. Lagrangian particle tracks were produced using the Eulerian vector-fields and synthetic particle tracking velocimetry. Compared to classical theory, when the “added mass" is determined using the drift volume approach, an additional rate-of-change of added mass term appears, and is shown to be a significant component of the total force. In addition, the particle tracks revealed that the vortex ring development behind the flat plate made up a remarkable portion of the drift volume. From this observation a model for the unsteady forces via drift volume development is proposed, using a conservation of mass scheme[2]. An enstrophy-history method as described by Rosiet al.[3] is used to determine the role of entrainment in the vortex ring growth, incorporated into the unsteady force model.

Abstract
Classical potential flow added mass theory does not appear to account for all the force experienced by an accelerating body, especially in separated flow. The drift-volume method has shown good agreement with experiment for a highly accelerated case [1], and has been extended in this study to a kinematics-based force model. An optical towing tank facility is used to measure the forces and flow around a circular flat plate normal to the free stream fora range of acceleration moduli. Lagrangian particle tracks were produced using the Eulerian vector-fields and synthetic particle tracking velocimetry. Compared to classical theory, when the “added mass" is determined using the drift volume approach, an additional rate-of-change of added mass term appears, and is shown to be a significant component of the total force. In addition, the particle tracks revealed that the vortex ring development behind the flat plate made up a remarkable portion of the drift volume. From this observation a model for the unsteady forces via drift volume development is proposed, using a conservation of mass scheme[2]. An enstrophy-history method as described by Rosiet al.[3] is used to determine the role of entrainment in the vortex ring growth, incorporated into the unsteady force model.
