Fluid Dynamics Panel Working Group 10 on Calculation of 3D Separate Turbulent Flows in Boundary Layer Limit (Le Calcul des Ecoulements Turbulents, Decolles Tridimensionnels en Couche Limite)

Abstract

This report contains the results of a study conducted to investigate the limits of boundary layer methods, both the integral and field type formulations, for calculating three-dimensional turbulent separated flows. Test cases used to assess the boundary layer calculations included the DFVLR prolate spheroid at angle of attack and the NASA-Ames Wing C. Comparisons between boundary layer calculations and experimental data are presented for these test cases along with observations, conclusions and recommendations. Keywords: Flow separation; Numerical methods; Turbulent flow; Boundary layer separation; Three dimensional flow; Computations/theory.
