Compressibility effects on laminar separation bubbles over airfoils
Abstract
The performance of airfoils in high-lift configurations and maneuvering platforms are dependent on the dynamics of the laminar separation bubble (LSB) developing over the leading edge. Our current understanding of LSB sensitivity to flow compressibility effects is limited, especially at moderate-to-high Reynolds numbers relevant to Air Force interests. To address the above issue, we propose a collaborative computational and experimental effort, that systematically characterizes LSB dynamics.
