Numerical simulation of leading-edge vortex flow

An analysis is presented of results of a computational method to simulate the steady compressible vortical type of flow around a 65-deg sharp-edged cropped delta wing. The discussion emphasizes some more fundamental aspects of the numerical simulation such as the separation of the flow, the structure of the leading-edge vortex core and the flow...

A method for computing the three—dimensional flow about wings with leading—edge vortex separation Part II: Description of computer program VORSEP

In part I of this report a method is described for computing the incompressible flow about slender, thin wings with leading-edge vortex separation. It is assumed that both the wing and the flow field are symmetric with respect to the x—z plane. The method can handle delta—like wings of quite general planform and shape. However, in the...
