Optimizing Design Parameters For Active Flow Control Boundary-Layer Fence Performance Enhancement On A Delta Wing, Nathan L. Tedder

Theses and Dissertations

Utilizing computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations, the presented study is able to further the investigation of replicating and improving upon the performance of a NACA 0012 cropped half-span delta-wing at high angles-of-attack with an active flow control fluidic fence via wall-normal, steady blowing from an optimized single chordwise slot located at z/b = 70%,. The data is generated using CREATE-AV Kestrel v10.1rc5 CFD software on the Department of Defense High Performance Computing systems. The flight regime is held constant at a Mach number of 0.18 and a Reynolds number (Re) of 5.0 x 10⁵, based on the root …
