| Summary: | This paper investigates the aerodynamics of a circular plan form wing at high
Reynolds numbers numerically. Commercial software STAR-CCM+ has been used for the
study. The numerical results were presented in terms of flow visualization, pressure over the
wing, velocity contour and streamlines, lift and drag coefficients for angle of attacks ranging
from 0˚ to 30˚ and Reynolds number equal to 510,000. The results showed that the distribution
of the pressure is dominated by vortices behaviour at high angle of attack. The results also
show that there is a large separation region located on the trailing edge of the elevator and the
cockpit region. It is evident that this type of wing configurations plays a very important role in
delaying or preventing the flow separation. The result agreed with available experimental data. |
