Numerical Simulation of 3D Dynamic Stall
Outline
Background and Objectives Past efforts in 3D dynamic stall CFD requirements for validation Summary of selected tools 2D dynamic stall Validation cases and results Conclusions
Motivation and Objectives
DS is encountered in rotorcraft and highly maneuverable aircraft
Complex problem – prediction of loads and flow structure 3D studies are rare Study 3D DS, use a variety of turbulence models and
simulation (LES) Improve existing turbulence models Understand flow physics Validate CFD so that industry can exploit Take things a bit further…
Background
What is Dynamic Stall? Experimental and CFD work on DS The majority of the work performed on DS (experimental
and CFD) has been done on 2-D Most CFD has been done for code validation rather than
investigation of the flow physics. 2D CFD suggested that turbulence modelling is a key
issue if fidelity is required Missing: 3D, centrifugal effects, dM/dt, interaction with
wake
CFD requirements for validation
Surface pressure Integral loads Boundary layers Information for turbulence levels in the tunnel
and transition Higher Mach numbers Near-tip and flow-field measurements Measurements on rotating blades Measurements on more complex geometries
Summary of experiments Most experiments on DS are 2D 3D work has been done by the following:
Selected Validation Cases
CFD solver PMB solver of the Univ. of Glasgow Control volume method Parallel (distributed memory) Multi-block (complex geometry) structured grids Moving grids Unsteady RANS - Variety of turbulence models – LES Implicit time marching Osher's and Roe's schemes for convective fluxes MUSCL scheme for effectively 3rd order accuracy Central differences for viscous fluxes Conjugate gradient linear solver with pre-conditioning Validation database

Conclusions
Experimentalists like CFD pictures! Are keen to collaborate and look in their
databases for measurements They developed the ability to understand
much about the flow from a small number of measurements
They are getting used to the idea of CFD…or at least looking at CFD results
Conclusions
CFD developers are always looking for good data and have many requirements
Have sometimes to make a first step Have to be open about any limitations of
their methods Perform simulations, validation,
comparisons and maybe …some analysis!
