Abstract
This research is mainly devoted to numerical trade studies of a co-rotating array of mini-air-jet vortex generators (Mi-AJVGs) placed on a supercritical P-18-415 airfoil-based wing model. The numerical simulation is carried out at an angle of attack α = 4° and Mach number M∞ = 0.75. Three-dimensional compressible Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations coupled with the k-ϵ realizable turbulence model are employed with an assumption of fully turbulent boundary layer. The result is the best design case out of the investigated ones in terms of the skin friction coefficient and the lift-to-drag ratio. When the Mi-AJVGs are activated, streamwise vortices acting on the separation region increase downstream skin friction and the lift-to-drag ratio. The effect of the jet to ambient temperature ratios (TJ/T∞) on aerodynamic performance is considered.
