Enhancement of aircraft cabin comfort studies by coupling of models for human thermoregulation, internal radiation, and turbulent flows

Scientific enhancement of the analysis of thermal comfort aspects in aircraft cabins is the subject of the current investigation. For this purpose, three important processes are identified that play a significant role in thermal comfort, viz. the human response to its thermal environment which is also known as thermoregulation, the actual...

Leading edge vortex flow computations and comparison with DNW-HST wind tunnel data

Computations are presented for the vortical flow around a sharp-edged cropped delta wing with 65° leading edge sweep using a computational method based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. It is demonstrated that turbulence modelling plays a crucial role in the ability to capture the vortical structures. Standard one- and two...
