Outlet, at the outlet of the computational domain, all variables are extrapolated from the interior domain. Inlet, typical values used here are velocity, pressure and temperature, these are the ambient atmospheric conditions at an above the sea level. However, in the present problem, steady state has been assumed and hence no initial conditions have been applied. Other conditions prescribed on the physical boundary of the fluid region are called Boundary conditions. In the transient problems, the time derivative is of first order and the value of dependent variable at time t=0 must be given. Hence on the boundary of the region velocity, pressure and temperature must be suitably defined to permit integration of the governing equations. The governing equations must be satisfied in the interior of the fluid and the specific solutions can be obtained only by prescribing the constraint of flow geometry as well as the initial state of the flow field. 2 Meshed model for wing and wind tunnel of structured mesh

For both the cases (without VGs and with VGs) the wing body is modeled for flow at zero angles of attack.Ģ-D geometry of wing body has been built by using ICEM CFD industrial standard code and which is shown in Fig1. The models considered in the present case studies are symmetric. It should be noted that, only the fluid domain is being modeled and not the solid body, since all the present case studies are being external flow problems.

It is usual practice to go up to 5-8 times the width or base diameter of the body in the far field regions and 3 times in the upstream region for shock capturing problems. In all the present case studies, computational domain is the fluid surrounding the geometry (external flow problems). Fluid domain is a virtually cut portion of the whole system whose outer boundaries are decided in such a way that the physics of the problem do not get affected. It is necessary to have enough details of geometry of any test case for the purpose of modeling it on digital computer. The geometrical and fluid domain details of all the test cases that have been considered for studies are discussed in this section. The studies have been carried out on two different VG geometries i.e., trapezoidal shaped configurations. CFD is now being used extensively in the aerodynamic design and performance analysis using these VGs on aircraft wing which can be computed with reasonable accuracy. The VGs create vortices, transferring momentum from the outer region of the boundary layer into the inner flow region thereby increasing the kinetic energy of the boundary layer as well as its ability to resist to adverse pressure gradient which results in sustain the flow separations. These devices are made up of simple sheet metal plates which are placed at upstream of the separated area with a predetermined cross angle with the flow. The oldest and the simplest means of flow control for separated areas is using mechanical devices called vortex generators (VGs). Keywords: Energy, temperature, computational fluid dynamics, aerofoil, wing, heat transfer, turbulence, aerodynamics.įlow separation occurs in various flow conditions and at various locations around an aircraft, especially flow separation over the wing is of serious concern as it directly affects the aircraft performance. All computations will be carried out using the RANS modeling which is available in commercially CFD package. The best shape and location of the VGs for each of the flow regimes will be determined. The analysis has to be carried out at subsonic (M=0.5), transonic (M=1.0) and supersonic (M=2.0) flow regimes. The drag and lift characteristics of each shape and locations of VGs have to be studied. Complete three dimensional results to be for the flow over wing equipped with Vortex Generators with various shapes and locations over the wing. The project work (report) deals with the CFD analysis of VGs on a wing. Vortex Generators are highly efficient aerodynamic devices that are used widely in both external and internal aerodynamics as means of flow control.

Aim is to understand the flow complexity and how to improve these two parameters with the help of vortex generator kind of devices. In order to reduce the drag and improve lift forces to achieve better performance with less power consumption for NACA 64215, which is newly developed aerofoil wing, drag and lift forces are very critical parameters to optimize the performance.
