this paper is a computational study of the behavior of aerodynamics  characteristics of an airfoil with blunt trailing edge and  studies the effects aerodynamic performance caused by modifications made to the trailing edge. blunt trailing edge airfoils are of interest in the engineering of large wind turbine blades because they allow for a strong structure with a high aerodynamic lift to struct...

A novel rational description of incompressible two-dimensional time-mean turbulent boundary layer (BL) flow separating from a bluff body at an arbitrarily large globally formed Reynolds number, Re, is devised. Partly in contrast to and partly complementing previous approaches, it predicts a pronounced delay of massive separation as the turbulence intensity level increases. This is bounded from ...

Among the several noise-generation mechanisms of airfoil self-noise, trailing-edge bluntness noise is an important source, which caused by vortex shedding at blunt trailing edges. A numerical study on control using bio-inspired wavy leading edges presented in this paper. The high-fidelity, improved, delayed, detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method was used to calculate flow field, and acoustic ...

Unsteady vortex shedding at a trailing edge may cause pressure fluctuations and strong tonal noise which can have important consequences to the performance of marine and aeronautical type lifting surfaces. This paper presents data from unsteady RANS simulation of high Reynolds number trailing edge flow. It aims to identify and quantify dominant features of the trailing edge flow field over a tw...

 Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental examination of the effect of non-uniform wall temperature on local heat transfer coefficient in a rotating smooth-walled square channel. Three different thermal boundary situations were investigated: (a) even and odd (four) wall uniform temperature, (b) even and odd (four) wall uniform heat flux, and (c) even (leading and trailing) w...

Flow-induced noise from fully submerged lifting bodies experiencing turbulent trailing edge flows continues to pose undesirable effects for many marine propulsion systems and control surfaces.This noises arises from unsteady oscillatory flow has been shown to be highly dependent on trailing edge geometry, which can also lead to unacceptable structural vibrations. This paper presents a numerical...
