Numerical Simulation Of Dynamic-Stall Suppression By Tangential Blowing, Matthew C. Towne
Numerical Simulation Of Dynamic-Stall Suppression By Tangential Blowing, Matthew C. Towne
Theses and Dissertations
The use of tangential blowing to suppress the dynamic stall of a pitching airfoil is investigated numerically. The laminar two-dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved time-accurately using a Beam- Warming algorithm. A slot is located at four different positions along the surface of a NACA 0015 airfoil and air is injected in a nearly tangential sense along the upper surface. Suction control is also employed at one of these slot locations to directly compare with tangential-blowing control. Solution sensitivity to grid refinement, time-step size, numerical smoothing, and initial conditions is investigated at a Reynolds number of 2.4 x 10exp 4. …
