Pitching Airfoils

Pitching Airfoils is a theoretical construct in unsteady aerodynamics that characterizes the dynamic behavior of an airfoil undergoing time-varying angular oscillations about its pitch axis, distinguishing it from other unsteady aerodynamic phenomena by its focus on the generation of unsteady lift, moment, and vortex shedding due to forced or free rotational motion.
