Time-Accurate Euler Simulations of a Full-Span Delta Wing at High Incidence

Opportunities for the integrated use of measurements and computations for the understanding of delta wing aerodynamics

“…Euler simulations can predict vortex breakdown and vortical interactions when a sharp leading edge is used, fixing the separation point [10]. No secondary separation can be predicted since this is due to boundary layer separation, which has the effect of shifting the primary vortex closer to the wing leading edge.…”
