Wavelet analysis of transonic buffet on a two-dimensional airfoil with vortex generators

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...

Multiple Solutions and Buffet of Transonic Flow over the NACA0012 Airfoil

Multiple solutions of the small-disturbance potential equation and the full potential equation were known for the NACA0012 airfoil in a certain range of transonic Mach numbers and at zero angle of attack. However the multiple solutions for this particular airfoil were not observed using Euler or Navier-Stokes equations under the above flow conditions. In the present work, both the Unsteady Reyn...

Transonic Flutter Analysis of an Airfoil with Approximate Boundary Method

Numerical simulation of aircraft’s flutter is rather expensive and time-consuming. In order to save expense and calculating time, we apply first-order approximate conditions to solve the unsteady transonic Euler equations coupled with aeroelastic equations. Assuming that the airfoil is thin and undergoes small deformation, we implement wall boundary conditions on nonmoving mean wall positions. ...
