Flow over airfoil is extensively studied to identify point of flow separation, transition, re-attachment (formation of laminar separation bubble), and to understand relation between aerodynamic forces generated by airfoil with change in angles of attack. Extension of flow separation concept to finite wing is not straight forward as flow has an additional degree of freedom to move when it detaches from surface of wing. A preliminary investigation of location of flow separation lines over finite wings is carried out using numerical simulations in ANSYS (FLUENT). |
