On the Effect of Tip Vortices in Low-Reynolds-Number Post-Stall Flow Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
We numerically investigate the application of steady blowing to three-dimensional stalled flows around low-aspect-ratio rectangular flat-plate wings at a Reynolds number of 300. The objective of this study is to explore techniques to enhance lift by directly modifying the dynamics of the wake vortices. Out of various combinations of forcing location and direction considered, we identify two configurations that provide significant lift enhancement. In these cases, actuation appears to strengthen the tip vortices for increased downward induced velocity upon the leading-edge vortices. This in turn moves the low-pressure core directly above the top surface of the wing to greatly enhance lift.

The present research investigates the torsional aeroelasticity of the blade of an H-type vertical axis wind turbine subject to stall and post-stall conditions in various Reynolds regimes, which is experienced by the blade in a full revolution. In order to simulate the aerodynamics, a new model based on a combination of the Double Multi Streamtubes (DMST) model and the nonlinear multi-criteria C...
متن کاملThree-dimensional flows around low-aspect-ratio flat-plate wings at low Reynolds numbers
Three-dimensional flows over impulsively translated low-aspect-ratio flat plates are investigated for Reynolds numbers of 300 and 500, with a focus on the unsteady vortex dynamics at post-stall angles of attack. Numerical simulations, validated by an oil tow-tank experiment, are performed to study the influence of aspect ratio, angle of attack and planform geometry on the wake vortices and the ...

متن کاملNumerical study of the effect of the tip gap size and using a single circumferential groove on the performance of a multistage compressor
The effect of the tip gap size on the performance of a multistage axial compressor was studied by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It was found that the performance of the compressor was very sensitive to the size of the tip gap. By increasing the gap size, the stall margin value, the total pressure ratio and the compressor efficiency reduced considerably. The flow field at the tip ...
متن کاملStall Vortex Shedding over a Compressor Cascade (RESEARCH NOTE)
The unstable flow with rotating-stall-like (RS) effects in a rotor-cascade of an axial compressor was numerically investigated. The RS was captured with the reduction in mass flow rate and increasing of exit static pressure with respect to design operating condition of the single rotor. The oscillatory velocity traces during the stall propagation showed that the RS vortices repeat periodically,...
