Abstract

In this study, numerical simulations were performed using the ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ transition model of KFLOW for the transitional flow over the KARI-11-180 airfoil. Numerical results of KFLOW were compared with experimental data and two other numerical results of XFoil and MSES. Fully turbulence model was predicted high skin friction drag than transition model because fully turbulence model could not solve the transitional flow. Numerical predictions using the ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ model of KFLOW show a good agreement with experimental data and other numerical results. Present numerical results were confirmed the state of drag bucket due to dramatic changing of the transition location on the airfoil surface.

본 연구에서는 KFLOW에서 사용하고 있는 ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ 천이 모델을 사용하여 KARI-11-180 익형의 공력특성을 수치적으로 예측하고 그 결과를 실험 결과 및 XFOIL과 MSES의 결과와 비교하였다. 완전 난류모델은 천이모델에 비해 마찰항력을 크게 예측하기 때문에 전체적으로 높은 항력을 예측하는 등 천이모델과 완전 난류모델간의 차이를 확인하였다. KFLOW의 ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ 모델을 사용한 결과는 실험을 통해 확인된 천이 유동 실험 결과의 특성을 잘 예측하고 있었으며 XFoil이나 MSES의 결과와도 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 drag-bucket현상이 익형 표면의 천이점의 급격한 변화로 인해 발생함을 확인하였다.
