Comparative Study of Turbulence Models for the Simulation of Three-Dimensional Transonic Flow around Airfoils
Abstract: The analysis of three dimensional transonic flows was carried out on the well-known ONERA M6 airfoil. In this paper three turbulence models i.e. Spalart-Allmaras, k-ω shear stress transport (SST) and k-ε Realizable were compared for transonic flows and validated through comparison with the experimental measurements and CFD results obtained from NASA ONERA M6 study for the selected wing. The discretization of the computational domain was done using an unstructured mesh, …

Control of Separation Induced on the Wing of Transonic Speed Aircraft by Means of Micro Vortex Generator
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 This experimental study provides an assessment of the potential of applying a control device to mitigate undesired separation formed on the wing of an aircraft causing instability of the airliner. They are used in a wide range of aircrafts and yet needs to be improved for wider applications.The study was conducted in a transonic wind tunnel. The concept of passive control, …
