The NACA 0021 airfoil was selected for the experimental work performed at the KC Wind Tunnel at the University of Adelaide. The airfoil was pitched at the mid-chord and the unsteady surface pressure distributions were recorded. The surface pressures were then used to obtain the lift-curve for the airfoil undergoing dynamic stall. In the present article, the unsteady lift-curve has been broken down into stages and each stage has been analysed to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic stall lift.enCopyright status unknownConference paper00300271862-s2.0-84959088689164071Arjomandi, M.
