The influence of Reynolds number on the performance of outboard spoilers and ailerons was investigated on a generic subsonic transport configuration in the National Transonic Facility over a chord Reynolds number range from 3 to 30 million and a Mach number range from 0.70 to 0.94. Spoiler deflection angles of 0, 10, and 20 degrees and aileron deflection angles of -10, 0, and 10 degrees were te...

In order to estimate Reynolds number effects on a transonic transport aircraft CFD calculations have been performed. The CFD calculations have been done solving the RANS equations on an unstructured grid for varying Reynolds number at transonic conditions. Low Reynolds number data have been extrapolated to a higher Reynolds number condition with different scaling methodologies in order to evalu...

PURPOSE This study aims to present flow control over the backward-facing step with specially designed right-angle-shaped plasma actuator and analyzed the influence of various scales of flow structures on the Reynolds stress through snapshot proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). METHODS 2D particle image velocimetry measurements were conducted on region (x/h = 0-2.25) and reattachment zone in...

For developing a reliable data-driven Reynold stress tensor (RST) model, successful reconstruction of the mean velocity field based on high-fidelity information (i.e., direct numerical simulations or large-eddy simulations) is crucial and challenging, considering ill-conditioning problem Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. It shown that frozen treatment Reynolds force vector (RFV)...
