Cambered valve leaflets that maximize initial rate of closure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 April 2006
Abstract
Camber distributions are chosen for airfoils of zero thickness that maximize the angular velocity induced by a sudden decrease in free-stream velocity. Those optimal shapes that are in equilibrium in steady forward flow are also neutrally stable in that position.
