Control of flow structure on delta wing with steady trailing-edge blowing

2006-03-01
The near-surface flow structure and topology are characterized of a delta wing of low sweep angle, which is subjected to trailing-edge blowing. A technique or high-image-density particle image velocimetry is employed to determine the topological critical points adjacent to the surface and in the near wake of the wing, in relation to the dimensionless magnitude of the blowing coefficient. These topological features are, in turn, interpreted in conjunction with patterns of surface-normal vorticity and near-surface velocity fluctuations, which provide an indication of buffet loading. Even though the Jet blowing is at the trailing edge, it has a remarkable, global influence on the surface patterns located well upstream; at high angle of attack, it leads to eradication of large-scale, three-dimensional separation in the vicinity of the apex.

Flow Structure on Nonslender Delta Wing: Reynolds Number Dependence and Flow Control
Zharfa, Mohammadreza; Ozturk, Ilhan; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2016-03-01)
The flow structure over a 35 deg swept delta wing is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using techniques of laser-illuminated smoke visualization, laser Doppler anemometry, and surface-pressure measurements. The effects of Reynolds numbers and attack angles on the evaluation of flow patterns are addressed within the broad range of Reynolds number 10(4) < Re < 10(5) and attack angle 3 deg < alpha < 10 deg. In addition, the effect of steady blowing through the leading edges of the wing on flow structure...
Control of Flow Structure over a Nonslender Delta Wing Using Periodic Blowing
Cetin, Cenk; Celik, Alper; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2018-01-01)
The effect of unsteady blowing through the leading edge on the flow structure over a 45 deg swept delta wing in relation to the steady blowing is experimentally studied in a low-speed wind tunnel using the techniques of surface-pressure measurements, particle image velocimetry, and laser-illuminated smoke visualization. The unsteady blowing in the form of a periodic square pattern at 25% duty cycle is provided at the excitation frequencies varying from 2 to 24 Hz for a fixed momentum coefficient. The flow s...
Effect of Passive Bleeding on Flow Structure over a Nonslender Delta Wing
Celik, Alper; Cetin, Cenk; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2017-08-01)
The effect of passive bleeding on flow structure of a 45 deg swept delta wing is studied in a low-speed wind tunnel using techniques of laser-illuminated smoke visualization, surface-pressure measurements, and particle image velocimetry. Three different bleeding configurations are tested to identify the effectiveness of the control technique compared to a base planform for a broad range of attack angles 6 <= alpha <= 6deg at Reynolds numbers Re=3.5x10(4) and Re=10(5). The results indicate that all bleeding ...

Gulsacan, Burak; Sencan, Gizem; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2018-12-01)
The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on flow structure of a delta wing with sweep angle of 35 deg is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser-illuminated smoke visualization, particle image velocimetry, and surface pressure measurements. Four different t/C ratios varying from 4.75 to 19% are tested at angles of attack, 4, 6, 8, and 10 deg, for Reynolds numbers Re =1 x 10(4) and 3.5 x 10(4). The results indicate that the effect of thicknessto-chord ratio on flow structure is quite substan...

Kaya, Halil; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
In this thesis, two dimensional, incompressible, viscous flow past bluff bodies and a bridge section, in which strong vortex shedding and unsteady attribute of flow are generally found, is simulated by means of random vortex method. The algorithm and method are described in detail. The validation and applicability of the developed numerical implementation to general wind engineering problems is illustrated by solving a number of classical problems, such as flow past circular and square cylinders. An applica...
