Large-Eddy Simulation of Low-Reynolds-Number Flow Over Thick and Thin NACA Airfoils

TLDR
In this paper, the flow fields around NACA0012 and NACA0002 airfoils at Reynolds number of 23,000 and the aerodynamic characteristics of these flowfields were analyzed using implicit large-eddy simulation and laminar-flow simulation.
Abstract: 
In this study, the flowfields around NACA0012 and NACA0002 airfoils at Reynolds number of 23,000 and the aerodynamic characteristics of these flowfields were analyzed using implicit large-eddy simulation and laminar-flow simulation Around this Reynolds number, the flow over an airfoil separates, transits, and reattaches, resulting in the generation of a laminar separation bubble at the angle of attack in a certain degree range Over an NACA0012 airfoil, the separation point moves toward its leading edge with an increasing angle of attack, and the separated flow may transit to create a short bubble On the other hand, over an NACA0002 airfoil, the separation point is kept at its leading edge, and the separated flow may transit to create a long bubble Moreover, nonlinearity appears in the lift curve of the NACA0012 airfoil, but not in that of NACA0002, despite the existence of a laminar separation bubble

New insights into large eddy simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a monotone integrated large eddy simulation approach, which incorporates a form of turbulence modeling applicable when the large-scale flows of interest are intrinsically time dependent, thus throwing common statistical models into question.

Resolvent-analysis-based design of airfoil separation control

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use resolvent analysis to design active control techniques for separated flows over a NACA 0012 airfoil, where a localized unsteady thermal actuation is introduced in an open-loop manner with two tunable parameters of actuation frequency and spanwise wavelength.

Towards the ultimate conservative difference scheme V. A second-order sequel to Godunov's method

TL;DR: In this article, a second-order extension of the Lagrangean method is proposed to integrate the equations of ideal compressible flow, which is based on the integral conservation laws and is dissipative, so that it can be used across shocks.

Thin-layer approximation and algebraic model for separated turbulent flows

B. Baldwin, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an algebraic turbulence model for two-and three-dimensional separated flows is specified that avoids the necessity for finding the edge of the boundary layer, and compared with experiment for an incident shock on a flat plate, separated flow over a compression corner, and transonic flow over an airfoil.
