Pneumatic Measurements on Cascade TR-P-2
Šimurda, David ; Luxa, Martin
The research report deals with results of pneumatic measurements on the blade cascade TR-P-2 (traversing in the exit flow field) and with analysis of the results. The blade cascade represents the root section geometry of 1375mm long rotor blade assuming the rotor blading consists of 60 blades.

Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Flow Affected by Vortex Generators in Straight Channel
Součková, Natálie ; Šimurda, David ; Uruba, Václav
The presented work is the next step after several experimental examinations of the vortex generator (VG) influence on flow separation occurring on a model of the NACA 63A421 airfoil with a deflected simple flap. The other purpose of this simulation is to obtain beneficial information that can be utilized for the preparation of the experimental investigation of the same configuration using Particle Image Velocimetry method (PIV) in the future. The numerical simulation was performed for one single pair and two pairs of low-profile VGs of the same size, whose heights were smaller than the boundary layer thickness. The rectangular vane type VGs in such configuration, which generates counter-rotating vortices, was examined. The behaviour of vortices produced by VG pair or pairs in several positions downstream the VGs is investigated and will be used as a background of the measurement.

Visualisation of Boundary Layer Separation and Passive Flow Control on Airfoils and Bodies in Wind-Tunnel and In-Flight Experiments
Popelka, Lukáš ; Kuklová, J. ; Šimurda, David ; Součková, Natálie ; Matějka, Milan ; Uruba, Václav
Infrared camera, Particle Image Velocimetry, smoke-wire, tuft filaments and oil-flow visualization techniques were used for wind-tunnel and in-flight investigation of boundary layer separation, both stall and separation bubbles, related to the low-Reynolds numbers transition mechanism. Airfoils of Wortmann FX66 series and FX66 series wing-fuselage interaction, as well as modern airfoils and their wing-fuselage geometry were subject to study. The presence of previously identified structures in the CFD modelling, such as horse-shoe vortices, was confirmed in the flow.

Modelling of the effect of the foregoing wake on the bypass transitionon the airfoil
Straka, P. ; Příhoda, Jaromír ; Šimurda, David
A modified algebraic model of the bypass transition was used for the simulation of the flow around the symmetrical airfoil NACA 0012 in the tandem configuration. The transition model is based on local variables only to enable its application for complex flow geometry using unstructured computational grids. The attention was especially focused on the flow near the leading edge where the boundary layer is not yet fully developed while used empirical correlations were established for the boundary-layer flow. The numerical simulation was compared with experiments of Lee and Kang (2000) carried out for the Reynolds number Re = (2x6)x10^5, the zero angle of attack and various distance between both airfoils. The agreement of numerical simulation with experimental data is quite satisfactory.
