Mitigation of gust-induced separation and aerodynamic loads using a high-frequency blowing/suction slot is demonstrated using high-order implicit large eddy simulation (LES). This approach was previously shown to be effective at alleviating dynamic stall on pitching wings. A NACA0012 wing section operating at a transitional chord-based Reynolds number of Rec=500,000, subsonic freestream Mach number of M∞=0.1 , and angles of attack of α = 4 deg and 12 deg is subjected to discrete 1-cos transverse gusts. Gust-induced stall is demonstrated and then active flow control (AFC) is applied to cases vulnerable to gust-induced stall. The flow control strategy is shown to be effective at stall suppression during gust encounter, thereby providing partial alleviation of gust induced loads. This approach is most effective at attenuating pitching moment increment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
