Force and Moment Calculations of an Appendage Using the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations.

Abstract

This report describes efforts to compute forces and moments about an appendage using the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. All computations presented are done with the Mississippi State University code UNCLE. Calculations are performed for a two-dimensional NACA 0012 airfoil and a three-dimensional NACA 0015 low-aspect ratio appendage mounted on a ground board. Results are presented for both forward and reverse flow conditions.
