What is it about?

A numerical study on a supersonic transport at low speed and high alpha condition has been performed using Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. In this vortex dominant flow field, the characteristics of several turbulence models (SA, SA-RC, EARSM) were investigated in comparison with the experimental results.

Why is it important?

The vortex behaviors strongly depended on the turbulence models. The numerical result by the SA-RC shows good agreement with the experimental result.

Perspectives

An capabilities of the RANS computation on the vortex dominant flow field is improved by means of the adequate simulation schems.
