Test Report on Three-and Six-Component Measurements on a Series of Tapered Wings of Small Aspect Ratio (Partial Report: Elliptic Wing)

The report UM No. 1023/1 which presented the results of measurements for a series of trapezoidal wings was the beginning of a series on wings with aspect ratio 1 to 3 and various contours. In report No. 1023/1 the aspect ratio (Lambda = 4/3) remained the same; the tapering was modified. The present report gives the results of the series of elliptic wings. Here the aspect ratio varies from 1 to 2 with the sweepback. The contour is formed by elliptic arcs. The influence of sweepback and contour upon the neutral point is shown.

Navier-Stokes computations on swept-tapered wings, including flexibility

A procedure to couple the Navier-Stokes solutions with modal structural equations of motion is presented for computing aeroelastic responses of flexible fighter wings. The Navier-Stokes flow equations are solved by a finite-difference scheme with dynamic grids. The coupled aeroelastic equations of motion are solved using the linear-acceleration method. The configuration-adaptive dynamic grids are time-accurately generated using the aeroelastically deformed shape of the wing. The coupled calculations are compared with experiments when available. Effects of flexibility and pitch rate are demonstrated for flows with vortices. Turbulent flow computations are also compared with laminar flow computations.
