Large-eddy Simulation of Boundary Layer Transition on Swept Wings
نویسندگان
چکیده
The large-eddy simulation of the spatial evolution of a stationary cross ow vortex packet in a three-dimensional boundary layer was performed. Although a coarse grid was used (compared to that required by a direct numerical simulation) the essential features of the disturbance evolution, such as the spanwise disturbance spreading and the vortex rollover, were captured accurately. The eddy viscosity became signi cant only in the late nonlinear stages of the simulation.

The current study presents the results of the aerodynamic noise prediction of the flow field around a NACA 0012 airfoil at a chord-based Reynolds number of 100,000 and at 8.4 degree angle of attack. An incompressible Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model is applied to obtain the instantaneous turbulent flow field. The noise prediction is performed by the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-...

Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...

Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...

Wall-modeled large-eddy simulation is applied to a transonic axial compressor rotor (NASA Rotor 37). The simulation results show a significant improvement over fully turbulent RANS in the prediction of the overall performance, mainly by capturing boundary layer transition on the blade. Sensitivity of the result to the end-wall boundary conditions (isothermal/adiabatic walls) and the inflow prof...

The present work addresses a new technology development that can lead to drag reduction on supersonic aircraft by means of passive laminar flow control (LFC). Recent developments in the understanding of stability and transition in swept-wing flows in low-disturbance environments have offered the promise of controlling transition without the use of complicated systems. The principal control prob...
