Cross Flow Over Double Delta Wings

Abstract

This aerodynamic flow field investigation of a double delta wing is the third part of an overall fluid-structure interaction investigation. It was preceded by an investigation of a vortex breakdown on a simple delta wing and on the Onera M-6 wing. Vortex flow at high angles of attack cause problems with stability and control as well as premature structural fatigue. An improved understanding of the vortex breakdown process could allow a more effective method of transferring the aerodynamic loads from a computational fluid dynamic model to a corresponding structural response model. The results obtained are the final steps in the development of an aerodynamic model for use in determining the structural response of a double-delta wing.
