Study of Tip-Vortex Formation Using Large-Eddy Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formation of the tip-vortex from a rectangular NACA 2415 wing-tip at a chord Reynolds number of 10000 has been simulated. The simulations employ a parallelized compressible large-eddy simulation (LES) solver that has been developed to simulate wing and rotor tip-flows. The solver employs an immersed-boundary technique in conjunction with a curvilinear structured grid and the dynamic model is used to model the subgrid-scale (SGS) stress terms. A detailed discussion of the tip-vortex formation and evolution in the near wake is presented.
