Numerical Simulations on Unsteady Nonlinear Transonic Airfoil Flow

A Numerical Study of Transonic Buffet on a Supercritical Airfoil

The steady/unsteady flow of the BGK No. 1 supercritical airfoil is investigated by the solution of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a two-equation k-ω turbulence model. The dual-time stepping method is used to march in time. Two steady cases ( 71 . 0 = Ma , 396 . 1 = α and 71 . 0 = Ma , 0 . 9 = α ) and one unsteady case ( 71 . 0 = Ma , 97 . 6 = α ), both with a far-stream 6 10...

Numerical Study of Transonic Buffet on a Supercritical Airfoil

The flow of the Bauer–Garabedian–Korn (BGK) No. 1 supercritical airfoil is investigated by the solution of the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with a two-equation lagged k–ω turbulent model. Two steady cases (M = 0.71, α= 1.396 deg and M = 0.71, α= 9.0 deg) and one unsteady case (M = 0.71, α= 6.97 deg), all with a far-stream Reynolds number of 20 × 106, are computed. The resu...

Airfoil-Gust Interactions in Transonic Flow

Leading edge noise is a significant broadband noise source in aircraft engines, and is the primary broadband noise mechanism in outlet guide vane noise in turbofans, and broadband rotor wake interaction noise in contra-rotating open rotor engines. Previous authors have studied the effects of various aspects relating to this noise source, including airfoil geometry effects, cascade effects, and ...

Numerical Simulations of Transonic Flow Acoustic Resonance in Cavity

Direct numerical simulations are used to investigate transonic flow acoustic resonance in an open cavity. The numerical scheme minimizes the errors due to dispersion and dissipation of acoustic waves, and resolves both the unsteady flow and radiated acoustic field. Implicit solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is obtained using a compact high-order spacial differencing scheme, c...
