About the projects I was involved in during my Master's Course.
Korean Society for Aeronautical and Space Science
Intro :
- In this study, aerodynamic investigation was conducted with Low Reynolds Number Airfoil of EFD-CFD workshop 5th case *.
- LRN airfoil has complex flow structure, so accurate computational is needed.
- In this study, We utilze the PyFR, a aerodynamic analysis framework using Large Eddy Simulation (LES)
Results :
Spanwise effect
Laminar Separation Bubble (LSB)
- Low Reynolds number flow has a complex flow structure such as laminar separation, transition, reattachment etc.
- This LSB reduce the aerodynamic performance.
- LES can solve the LSB with high resolution.
International Conference of Spactral and High Order Method
Intro :
- Based on the previous study (KSAS), parametric study is conducted for numerical and computational condition.
- Paramters : spanwise length, order of accuracy, grid system, and precision
Results :
Non-linearity
Stall structure :
Discussion :
effect of Spanwise length
- We compared the result with (0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0) times of the chord length
- Short span is limited in including 3-D effect
- In high AoA region, spanwise length of 0.5 times of chord length is needed at least.
effect of Order of accuracy
- We performed the simulation with P2, P3, and P4 order with coarse, medium, and fine grid respectively
- If the grid is fine near the surface and wake region, there are slight difference in the case of P2 order compared with P2 and P3 order.
- The simulation with P2 coarse grid has inaccurate result. So lower order case has strong grid dependency.
effect of Grid system
- We constructed structured grid by PointWise and unstructured grid by Gmsh.
- There are no sigmificant difference with two grid system.
- However, there notable difference in computation time
- Unstructured grid's minimum edge length and minimum cell volume is 4 and 13 times smaller than structured grid. So the computation time of unstr case is 9 times larger than the structured case.
effect of precision
- There are no siginficant difference with single and double precision(FP32 and FP64)
Intro :
- Panel method is one of fast techniques of the aerodynamic analysis
- Panel method use the virtal wake panel to predict the lift
- When solving for high angle of attack condition, fixed wake model issues
- So variable wake model must be developed
