Case 3.1Turbulent Flow over a 2D Multi-Element Airfoil
Summary
1st International Workshop on High-Order CFD Methods, January 7-8, Nashville, TN C2.2 1/11
The case
Turbulent Flow over a 2D Multi-Element AirfoilM∞ = 0.2α = 16o
Re = 9 × 106
Fully turbulentOur farfield distance is at least 50c
Turbulent working variable contours
