In this work, we discuss the problem of the flow around a NACA0012 airfoil subjected to a pitching movement. The set of flow equations coupled with solid movement is solved with a finite element method using ANSYS program. Results show that our numerical model presents a good agreement in comparison with the experimental and the numerical results available in the literature. Next, the airfoil pitching...
