| Optimisation of Synthetic Jet (SJ) Fluidic Active Flow Control (AFC) parameters to maximise aerodynamic efficiency or lift and minimise drag of an airfoil is very demanding in terms of computational resources and time. This project aims at assessing the most convenient turbulence model which, in combination with the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, allows for accurate predictions of the aerodynamic performances of SJ-actuated post-stall airfoils at high values of the Reynolds number.
The work plan is as follows: 0) Literature review on typical airfoils for incompressible flow at moderately high values of the Reynolds number and on fluidic actuation with synthetic jets. 1) Test the spalart-allmaras, k-epsilon and k-omega turbulence models for a chosen airfoil in stall conditions, and compare against available literature results. 2) Test the turbulent models for AFC setups that have been tested in the literature. 3) Set up an optimisation procedure based on the best performing turbulence model, both using genetic algorithms (GA) and more classic methods such as Newton or steepes gradient. 4) Design strategies to reduce as much as possible the computational requirements for the optimisation process. |
