Assessment of CFD methods taking into account laminar-turbulent transition for aeroelasticity of laminar wings
Evaluation de méthodes CFD avec prise en compte de la transition laminaire-turbulent pour l'aéroélasticité des voilures laminaires
Résumé
High fidelity aeroelastic simulations of laminar wings require an accurate prediction of the aerodynamic forces taking into account non-linear phenomena due to the laminar-turbulent transition. This paper proposes an evaluation of CFD RANS based methods associated with transition criteria or models for flight conditions of interest from an aeroelastic point of view (low and high incidences, transonic Mach numbers). This evaluation is carried out through comparisons with wind tunnel tests. The first step consists in assessing different models for steady transonic flow fields around a 2D laminar airfoil. The influence of crossflow transition on the aerodynamic response to a 3D wing oscillating in pitch is addressed in a second step for low speed flight conditions.
