Wind Tunnel Wall Interference Investigation of an Aspect Ratio13.5 Common Research Model using FUN3D

This paper presents a computation study of an aspect ratio 13.5 wind tunnel scale CommonResearch Model (CRM) inside a transonic wind tunnel using FUN3D CFD solver. The transonicwind tunnel is a slotted-test-section with 16 ft×16 ft test section wind tunnel. The simulationsare conducted under free-air, closed slots, and open slots conditions. The wind tunnel wallinterference effects are analyzed based on the simulations. The wall interference effects will beused to calibrate the aerodynamic database generated by VSPAERO solver for the real-timedrag optimization and maneuver load alleviation study of the wind tunnel scale CRM model.

Simulated Ice Shapes on the High Lift Common Research Model Using LEWICE3D

Computational icing tools consist of predicting two distinct problems, the dry air aerodynamics around the iced or uniced vehicle and the accretion of ice due to inclement weather. A desire exists to advance these tools such that they can be reliably used earlier in the design process to limit the need for more costly flight and wind tunnel testing. To achieve these goals the computational tools need to be benchmarked and validated against high quality experimental data sets to raise the software’s Technology Readiness Level. An ongoing collaborative effort between NASA and Boeing Commercial Airplanes is focused on obtaining this required experimental data and subsequently benchmarking and/or validating the tools that predict the aerodynamics around the iced and uniced vehicle. Currently the scope of this effort is focused on the usage of simulated ice shapes to be representative of the iced vehicle. This presentation discusses the generation of those simulated ice shapes.
