Abstract The blended-wing body is an aircraft configuration that has the potential to be more efficient than conventional large transport aircraft configurations with the same capability. However, the design of the blended-wing is challenging due to the tight coupling between aerodynamic performance, trim, and stability. Other design challenges include the nature and number of the design variab...

The growing interest in micro aerial vehicles has brought attention to the need for an improved understanding of the aerodynamics of low-aspect-ratio wings at lowReynolds numbers. In this study, flat plate wings with rectangular and tapered planforms were fabricated with aspect ratios of 0.75, 1, 1.5, and 3, and the aerodynamic loading was measured at Reynolds numbers between 5 10 and 1 10. Sur...

this paper is a computational study of the behavior of aerodynamics  characteristics of an airfoil with blunt trailing edge and  studies the effects aerodynamic performance caused by modifications made to the trailing edge. blunt trailing edge airfoils are of interest in the engineering of large wind turbine blades because they allow for a strong structure with a high aerodynamic lift to struct...

This study concerns numerical simulation, modeling and optimization of aerodynamic stall control using a synthetic jet actuator. The numerical simulation was carried out by a large-eddy simulation that employs a RNG-based model as the subgrid-scale model. The flow around a NACA0015 airfoil, including a synthetic jet located at 10 % of the chord, is studied under Reynolds number Re = 12.7 × 10 a...

Miniflaps at the trailing edges of airfoils (e.g., Gurney flaps or divergent trailing edges) change the Kutta condition and thus produce higher lift. Unfortunately, however, the drag is also increased due to the flow separation downstream of this particular type of trailing edge. Therefore, the trade-off between beneficial and detrimental effects is considered in this paper. Various aspects of ...
