Laser holographic interferometry was used to study a two-dimensional NACA 0012 airfoil undergoing dynamic stall. The airfoil, fabricated from graphite fiber and epoxy, was tested at Mach numbers of 0.3 to 0.6, at Reynolds numbers of 500,000-2,000,000, at reduced frequencies of 0.015 to 0.15, and at mean angles of attack of 0-10 deg with amplitudes of 10 deg. Density and pressure fields were obtained from dual-plate interferograms. Double-pulse interferograms, which seemed to show the wake boundaries better, were also taken. Comparisons of pressures with orifice pressures were good for the attached flow cases. For the separated flow cases, which had a vortex enbedded in the flow, the comparisons were poor. Vortices, wake structures, and the dynamic stall process can be seen by holographic interferometry.
