Flutter Analysis of a Low Aspect Ratio Swept- Back Trapezoidal Wing at Low Subsonic Flow

author

Abstract:

A linear, aeroelastic analysis of a low aspect ratio swept back trapezoidal wing modeled as a cantilever plate is presented. An analytical and numerical formulation for both the aerodynamic forcing and structural response of the wing was developed. The analytical model uses a three dimensional time domain vortex lattice aerodynamic method. A Rayleigh-Ritz approach has been used to transfer equations into a modal domain in order to solve equations of motion. The theoretical results are consistent with numerical results for low aspect ratio rectangular wings and experimental data reported by other investigators for delta wings.

An Experimental Investigation of the Flowfield over a Low Aspect Ratio Wing

A wind tunnel investigation was performed to study the flow field over a 70° swept sharped edge delta wing model at high angles of attack. The experiments were conducted in the subsonic wind tunnel at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology. Velocity profiles have been measured using a special pitot tube and hot wire anemometer at angles of attacks of 10 to 35 ...

Analysis of Low-Speed Stall Aerodynamics of a Swept Wing with Laminar-Flow Glove

Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to study the low-speed stall aerodynamics of a GIII aircraft’s swept wing modified with a laminar-flow wing glove. The stall aerodynamics of the gloved wing were analyzed and compared with the unmodified wing for the flight speed of 120 knots and altitude of 2300 ft above mean sea level (MSL). The S...

Computational Study of Laminar Flow Control on a Subsonic Swept Wing Using Discrete Roughness Elements

A combination of parabolized stability equations and secondary instability theory has been applied to a low-speed swept airfoil model with a chord Reynolds number of 7.15 million, with the goals of (i) evaluating this methodology in the context of transition prediction for a known configuration for which roughness based crossflow transition control has been demonstrated under flight conditions ...

Dean Flow Dynamics in Low-Aspect Ratio Spiral Microchannels

A wide range of microfluidic cell-sorting devices has emerged in recent years, based on both passive and active methods of separation. Curvilinear channel geometries are often used in these systems due to presence of secondary flows, which can provide high throughput and sorting efficiency. Most of these devices are designed on the assumption of two counter rotating Dean vortices present in the...

Numerical Simulations of the Transient Flow Response of a 3D, Low-Aspect-Ratio Wing to Pulsed Actuation

Numerical simulations of the natural and actuated unsteady flow over a three-dimensional low-aspect ratio wing are performed using Lattice Boltzmann method. The LBM simulations match the flow conditions and the detailed wing geometry from previous experiments, including the actuators that are installed internally along the leading edge of the wing. The present study focuses on the transient lif...
