Prediction of Vortex Breakdown over Wing Geometries Using Detached-EddySimulation

The formation of vortices and their interaction with the aircraft wing and body is one

the most interesting problems in aerodynamics. These vortices are usually generated

and convected from different parts of the lift providing devices. Their interaction with

the flow field, can case unsteady force and vibration. At some configurations, it can

alter the aerodynamics characteristics of the aircraft by inducing separated regions in

the flow field which causes sudden loss of the lift know as stall condition. Extensive

information about this phenomenon can be obtained through a computer simulation

during the design process in order to provide required data for the efficient design of

the aircraft. In this research, a computer simulation of this problem will be carried out

using an accurate numerical discretization technique.
