NAM Application for Simulation of Unsteady Separation Flow around Airfoil with Spoiler

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Numerical-Analytical Method (NAM) and Discrete Vortices Method (DVM) are developed for simulating unsteady separated flow around an airfoil with a spoiler. For flow separated at each sharp edge, such as the spoiler tips and the trailing edge of the airfoil, a vortex sheet is used to feed discrete vortices at each time step. The solution is determined under the assumption of fluid being ideal and incompressible. This paper develops modeling behavior of the vortices around the airfoil with the spoiler. The NAM based into the combination of the DVM and TFCV (Theory Function of Complex Variable) that gives to increase the accuracy of the calculation. In this paper the variation of the separation zones for the unsteady separated flow are shown.
