Anisotropic Form

SummaryFour flow cases are calculated using a boundary layer method with five turbulence models. The Johnson-King model, in particular, is modified and two variant forms are used in the present work. The variant forms involve an anisotropic form of three-dimensional eddy viscosity formulations and a modification in the outer viscosity expression. It is found that the Johnson-King model generally performs very well as compared to the others, and the variant forms provide further improvement in most cases.

This paper will present the development of a simple subsonic boundary layer method suitable to be used coupled with panel methods in order to estimate the aerodynamic characteristics, including viscous drag and maximum lift coefficient, of 3D wings. The proposed method does not require viscous-inviscid iterations and is based on classical integral bi-dimensional boundary layer theory using Thwaites and Head ́s models with bi-dimensional empirical corrections applied to each wing strip being therefor robust and efficient to be used in the early conceptual stage of aircraft design. Presented results are compared to the Modified CS Method in an IBL scheme and experimental data and are shown to provide good results.

Conversaziones were held on 19 May and 28 June 1955. At the first there were thirty-six exhibits, covering a wide range of research activities. An acoustical demonstration of the instability of the laminar boundary layer on a rotating disk was given by Mr N. Gregory, Mr J. T. Stuart and Mr W. S. Walker, of the Aerodynamics Division, National Physical Laboratory. The rotating disk illustrates a phenomenon which also occurs in the flow over the swept wings of modern aircraft, the instability in the latter case being due to the growth of self-amplifying vortices in the three-dimensional boundary layer over the nose of the wing. By using a stethoscope the vibrations produced by the vortices and by the random turbulent fluctuations at the edge of the disk can clearly be heard.

Abstract During the early design stage, it is essential to produce quick and reliable results. Regarding the calculation of forces acting on a rudder in the propeller slipstream, potential flow solvers are often used for this purpose due to their low computational effort. The drawback of these solvers is that viscous effects as drag or flow separation cannot be calculated. To overcome this drawback, the coupling of an inviscid three dimensional boundary element method with a viscous two dimensional boundary layer method is presented. The inflow from the propeller and the propeller rudder interaction is calculated using a lifting line approach. The inviscid calculation of the rudder forces is done with a boundary element method and the viscous rudder forces are calculated with the boundary layer method. Two different approaches are presented for the coupling. The results calculated with the implemented methods are compared to reverse open water model tests.
