Numerical Investigations for the Effect of Slender Body on Dynamic Rolling Characteristics of a 80°/60° Double Delta Wing

Abstract:

The effect of slender body on the rolling characteristics of a double delta wing is found by comparing the numerical simulation results of the double delta wing and wing-body configuration. The coupled computation system solving the Navier-Stokes equations and the rolling motion equation alternatively to obtain the unsteady vortical flow around the two configurations while rolling. The results conclusively showed the upwash effect of the slender body enhanced the energy of strake vortex and merged vortex.The aerodynamic lag of double delta wing is weak, contrarily, the time lag effect of the wing-body configuration is significant. The asymmetry vortices structure nearby the trailing edge are believed to be the main reason for the unsteady time lag effect.
