Prediction of turbulent flow over the inclined step by means of various two-equation turbulence models
Janeček, Vladislav ; Příhoda, Jaromír
The work deals with the numerical simulation of turbulent flow over an inclined step in a channel of the rectangular cross-section according to measurement of Makiola (1992). The simulation was carried out by means of the commercial software ANSYS FLUENT with users defined functions. Various two-equation turbulence models based on the k-eps formulation were tested with the aim to estimate their ability to predict the extent of the separation region and energy losses due to inclined step with the angle 15 deg. Numerical results were compared with experimental data from LDA measurements. Besides, determined energy losses were compared with losses in a channel with a backward-facing step.

Řízení mezní vrstvy na profilu s vychýlenou klapkou pomocí vírových generátorů
Součková, Natálie ; Šimurda, David ; Popelka, Lukáš
The paper focuses on reducing eventually removing flow separation, which is occurred on deflected flap, with vortex generators. Airfoil NACA 63A421 with simple flap and low profile vane-type vortex generators were used. The investigation was carried out using experimental and numerical method. The flow over the airfoil was visualized by tuft filaments technique in closed circuit wind tunnel for two flap deflections and four angles of attack. Two size and two different shapes of vortex generators were tested. The data from numerical simulation of flapped airfoil without VG's control were used for vortex generator designing.

Numerická simulace aerodynamické interakce křídla a trupu
Šimurda, David ; Popelka, Lukáš ; Zelený, L. ; Matějka, Milan
In order to investigate and understand extent of the wing-body interaction effects taking place during operation of a particular self-launching sailplane, commercial code Fluent 6.3 was used for numerical simulation of flow past a simplified model of TST-10a. Several methods were used to identify vortex structures originating due to interference effects in this part of the aircraft. 3D effects and distortions of pressure and velocity distributions taking place in the junction of the body and the fuselage were observed.
