Numerical Study of Blowing and Suction Control Mechanism on NACA0012 Airfoil
نویسندگان
چکیده
A jet with a width of 2.5% the chord length is placed on a NACA0012 airfoil’s upper surface simulating the blowing and suction control under Re = 5 × 105 and angle-of-attack 18-deg conditions. Nearly 300 numerical simulations are conducted over a range of parameters (jet location, amplitude, and angle). The physical mechanisms that govern suction and blowing flow control are determined and analyzed, and the critical values of suction and blowing locations, amplitudes, and angles are discussed. The current successful large-scale numerical studies create a useful knowledge base for further exploration of multijet control system.

متن کاملMultiple 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...

We perform large-eddy simulation of turbulent flow separation over an airfoil and evaluate the effectiveness of synthetic jets as a separation control technique. The flow configuration consists of flow over an NACA 0015 airfoil at Reynolds number of 896,000 based on the airfoil chord length and freestream velocity. A small slot across the entire span connected to a cavity inside the airfoil is ...

In our work we examine a high-dimensional, massive flow data set around an airfoil using a topology-based vortex analysis. The 3D time-dependent flow depends on two additional parameters which are introduced by an active flow control technique aiming at increasing the lift by periodic blowing and suction. In particular, we study the influence of the actuation parameters frequency and intensity ...

Unsteady flow separation on the airfoils with local flexible membrane (LFM) has been investigated in transient and laminar flows by the finite volume element method. A unique feature of the present method compared with the common computational fluid dynamic softwares, especially ANSYS CFX, is the modification using the physical influence scheme in convection fluxes at cell surfaces. In contr...
