The flow field around moving airfoil capable of flexible elastic deformation has become a focus of attention in recent years. These flow fields may be understood as a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem, and the motion and deformation of elastic airfoils, as well as the associated vortex flow phenomena in their vicinity, are complicated. Many studies on the flow filed around the elastic moving body have also carried out. The macro scale vortex structure and the dynamic forces acting on the elastic moving airfoil have been understood. However, the growth process of the vorticity in a vicinity of the wall of an elastic airfoil has not been clarified sufficiently. In this study, the authors investigate the growth process of the vorticity in a vicinity of the wall of an elastic airfoil by FSI simulation using ANSYS 17.0 / ANSYS CFX 17.0. Especially, the authors focus on the relationship between the spatial gradient of the wall of the elastic airfoils and the growth process of the vorticity in a vicinity of the wall.
