Abstract

Simulations of circulation control via blowing over Coanda surfaces at freestreams up to Mach 0.8 are presented. Validation was conducted against experiments performed at NASA on a 6 percent thick elliptical circulation control aerofoil, which demonstrates the necessary grid requirements and compares between two-equation turbulence models of the k - ω family. It is found that simplifications to the experimental set up are detrimental to the results. In addition, the performance and sensitivity of several circulation control devices applied to a supercritical aerofoil are presented. It is shown that circulation control has the ability to match the performance of traditional control surfaces during regimes of attached flow at transonic speeds.
