Abstract
The present work is concerned with the study of the transitional flow phenomena over an airfoil subjected to high angle of attack and subsonic freestream conditions. The work is being conducted with an in-house CFD code which has transition prediction capabilities through the use of the γ −Re θ transition model. The code solves the RANS equations in a fully coupled fashion with the turbulent and transition formulations. The results obtained for this configuration are presented and compared with experimental and numerical data available in the literature. Overall, the representation of this particular case is improved by the application of the transition model.
