Minimization of the Wing Airfoil Drag Coefficient Using the Optimal Control Method

The problem of designing a wing airfoil starting from the surface velocity (or pressure) distribution, given in multi-parameter form, is considered. In the diffuser region, the velocity decrease law is determined from the conditions of minimum drag and separationless flow for a given Reynolds number. The case of boundary layer suction for the purpose of improving the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil is studied. A solution is obtained using optimal control theory.     

一种改进混合迎风格式在翼型流场激波捕捉中的应用

波阻是飞行器超音速飞行的关键设计因素,精确捕捉激波在流场中的位置,是数值模拟含激波流场和精确计算波阻的一个重要研究内容.本文基于网格节点有限体积空间离散方法,采用AUSM格式与FVS格式的混合格式(MAUSM方法)计算对流通量,从而抑制在数值模拟流场出现的激波处振荡和过冲现象,确保AUSM准确捕获接触间断的特性和FVS格式捕捉激波的能力.本文使用MAUSM方法分别计算了在跨声速和超声速条件下的NACA0012翼型流场,并与中心差分格式的计算结果进行比较.结果表明,对于存在激波的翼型流场,MAUSM方法是有效的.     

Investigation of Alternative Length Scale Substitutions in Detached-Eddy Simulation

The objective of this work is the comparison of three different DES-style hybrid RANS/LES implementations based on the Wilcox k– model. The three variants are designed to investigate alternative methods of substitution of the DES length scale within the background Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model. Basis for comparison is provided by both the idealised case of the decay of isotropic turbulence (DIT) as well as the practical case of the massively separated, turbulent flow around an airfoil at high angle of attack. The results of the investigations are discussed in detail, the outcome of which is an emphasis of the importance of DIT as a method for calibration, as well as of the relative freedom with which alternative DES-inspired approaches can be implemented for flows of practical relevance.     

The Secondary Bifurcation of an Aeroelastic Airfoil Motion: Effect of High Harmonics

The nonlinear dynamical response of a two-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic airfoil motion with cubic restoring forces is investigated. A secondary bifurcation after the primary Hopf (flutter) bifurcation is detected for a cubic hard spring in the pitch degree-of-freedom. Furthermore, there is a hysteresis in the secondary bifurcation: starting from different initial conditions the motion may jump from one limit cycle to another at different fluid flow velocities. A high-order harmonic balance method is employed to investigate the possible bifurcation branches. Furthermore, a numerical time simulation procedure is used to confirm the stable and unstable bifurcation branches.

Effect of Free‐Stream Turbulence on the Flow Structure near a Wedge and the Windward Side of an Airfoil

The flow structure behind wire grids is studied for flows with a low subsonic velocity, and the effect of grids on the boundarylayer flow structure is considered. It is shown that the meanvelocity inhomogeneity induced by the grid does not disappear until a distance of 925 calibers downstream of the grid is reached. Liquidcrystal thermography combined with hotwire measurements made it possible to find the source of steady largescale streamwise vortex structures in the boundary layer on a wedge and on an airfoil and to determine the parameters of these structures.     

To formulating a nonlinear initial-boundary problem of an unsteady separated flow around an airfoil

A general formulation of a nonlinear initial-boundary problem of an unsteady separated flow around an airfoil by an ideal incompressible fluid is considered. The problem is formulated for a complex velocity. Conditions of shedding of vortex wakes from the airfoil are analyzed in detail. The proposed system of functional relations allows constructing algorithms for solving a wide class of problems of the wing theory. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 48, No. 2, pp. 48–56, March–April, 2007.
