Three-Dimensional Boundary-Layer Transition on a Swept Wing

概要

It is well known that the viscous drag increases for swept wings because of skewed turbulent boundary layers. In the present paper, in order to investigate the transition mechanism of boundary layers on swept wings, wind tunnel experiments and numerical computations of flow are performed. Experiments are carried out by using the closed-circuit wind tunnel at Tokai University. A swept wing model which can be set for variable swept angle at a root is mounted vertically in the 1.5m×1.0m test section. Measurements are done by a two-dimensional hot wire anemometer with computer controlled three-dimensional traverse system and data processing system. Computations are done by using the fluid analysis software FLUENT. Measuring velocities inside boundary layers at various swept angles, the relations between swept angles and transitions are investigated. As a result, the negative peak of correlation function R gives an indication of turbulent transition.
