Aerodynamic Analysis of Body-Strake Configurations

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Technion - Israel Institute of Science and Technology as follows: The Grantee will investigate methods to improve the rapid aerodynamic prediction of configurations that feature strakes instead of conventional wings. The longitudinal characteristics of body-strake configurations will be estimated using a hybrid approach that will consider two contributions. (1) The linear (potential) contribution will be estimated; (2) The nonlinear contribution of the whole configuration will be estimated based on cross-flow methods. Analytical results will be generated for five baseline configurations and compared with experimental data.
