Zoppini, G. (author)
The research presented in this thesis focuses on the receptivity to surface roughness of swept wing boundary layers dominated by crossflow instabilities (CFI), providing insights into how surface roughness can be used to passively control the developing instabilities. Discrete roughness elements (DRE) arrays and distributed randomized roughness...

D'Aguanno, A. (author)
The flight envelope of an aircraft operating at high subsonic velocities is bounded by several limitations, one of these consists in thewing experiencing oscillations of a shockwave on its suction side for a certain range ofMach number (Ma), angle of attack (®) and Reynolds number (Re). This phenomenon is referred to as transonic buffet and it...

Sequeira, Aaron (author)
Laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition on the wings and stabilizers of aircraft leads to a large increase in the skin-friction drag they experience during flight. This has motivated prolific research into understanding and delaying the transition process, in an effort to improve the economic and ecological impact of air travel. The swept...

The market growth expected for commercial aviation in the coming decades and the increasing social awareness regarding the effects of global warming are driving significant technological developments necessary for emission reduction in future transport aircraft. From the aerodynamics perspective, a significant increase in aircraft efficiency can...

Arkesteijn, Joerie (author)
Following recent proof of swept wing laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition delay through base-flow modification using AC-DBD plasma actuators, an experimental investigation is performed to study the responsible physical mechanism. An experiment is conducted on a 45° swept wing in the anechoic wind tunnel at the Delft University of...

Camps Pons, Carlos (author)
Transonic buffet is an aerodynamic instability that appears on aerofoils and wings at certain combinations of Mach number and angle of attack, and which limits the aircraft flight envelope. This thesis project presents an experimental<br/>investigation of buffet employing stereoscopic PIV and Background Oriented Schlieren. By using four...

Marschalk, Sven (author)
As of April 2019, upset prevention and recovery training in flight simulation training devices is a mandatory practice for commercial and civil aircraft pilots. Aircraft stalls are a well-known upset type, therefore simulation of aircraft stall behavior is required. A key characteristic of stalls is the buffeting component, which in current...

This paper presents a semi-experimental method which can be used to predict the gust response of a wind tunnel model. The method incorporates transfer functions of the wind tunnel model – in this case a flexible forward swept wing – which are obtained using sweep excitations with a gust generator. The prediction results are then compared with...

Groot, K.J. (author)
Laminar-turbulent transition dictates an increase in skin friction. The resulting turbulent skin friction contributes to approximately 40% of the total drag of commercial aircraft. Reducing the turbulent flow region by postponing transition can therefore significantly reduce the carbon footprint and costs of flying. Transition prediction is...

Serpieri, J. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)
In this study, experiments are performed towards the identification and measurement of unsteady modes occurring in a transitional swept wing boundary layer. These modes are generated by the interaction between the primary stationary and travelling cross-flow instabilities or by secondary instability mechanisms of the stationary cross-flow...

Serpieri, J. (author)
The research presented in this booklet focusses on the cross-flow instability. Applying traditional and advanced flow diagnostics, the boundary layer evolution is studied in detail. The topology and evolution of both primary and secondary instability mechanisms is revealed with unprecedented detail for experimental research paving the way for...

Munaro, Filippo (author)
In the context of the ongoing research regarding boundary layer transition, this project aims to study the effects of isolated cylindrical roughness elements on the transition from laminar to turbulent flow in a swept wing boundary layer. The project entails experimental campaigns: the 45 degrees swept wing model is placed inside the test...

Sol, M.B. (author)
For modern transonic transport aeroplanes, it is important to produce low drag at high cruise speeds. The root effect, caused by effects of symmetry on swept wings, decreases the performance of these aeroplanes. During aeroplane design, root modifications are applied to counteract this decrease in performance. Most conceptual aeroplane design...

An outline is presented of a new code, called VISIAN, for the analysis of aerodynamic flows with strong viscous-inviscid interaction. The code is based on the recently developed quasi-simultsuieous method for the calculation of strongly interacting boundary layers. The feasibility of this method has already been demonstrated liy means of a...

At the workshop nine participants presented the results of their calculations for a practical test case. The test case deals with the 3D turbulent boundary layer development, including separation, on the root section of a swept wing. The employed calculation methods comprise 3D integral methods as well as field methods. A short description of...

A calculation method, based upon transonic small perturbation theory, is presented for the transonic flow about a semi-wing. The influence of a body can be simulated by prescribing appropriate transverse velocities in a vertical plane through the wing root. Due to the small perturbation assumption the wing should be thin and have little dihedral...

With the purpose of evaluating the adequacy of the NLR Panel Method with respect to the prediction of the flow around 3-D configurations with mechanical high-lift devices, potential flow calculations have been carried out for a swept-wing/body combination with part-span flaps at low speed. Several configurations as well as several calculation...

The attached flow around a swept wing has been calcTilated with allowance for the effects of boundary layer and wake. In part I a swept wing was considered with a turbulent boundary layer on both the upper and lower wing surface. The present part of the study deals with the calculation of the flow around the same swept wing with a laminar...

This report consists of two parts. The first part describes a finite-difference scheme for the computation of 3D laminar boundary layers over developable surfaces. The stability of the first variation of the difference scheme is investigated. Some results of actual boundary-layer calculations are presented for flows over swept wings. The second...

A method is presented to compute the 3D compressible turbulent boundary layer on an adiabatic wall under infinite swept wing conditions. The mathematical model of turbulence is based on a generalisation of Bradshaw's 2D shear stress equation. This results in a system of 5 equations valid along 5 distinct characteristics. A brief discussion is...
