Description:
The unsteady, three-dimensional, Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations (NS) are used to simulate and study the flow response around a delta wing undergoing a pitch-up motion up to 90 degrees amplitude. The governing equations are solved time-accurately using the upwind. Roe flux-difference splitting, finite volume scheme. The primary model under consideration consists of a 76 degree swept, sharp-edged delta wing of zero thickness. The Reynolds number and Mach number are 0.45 X 10(exp 6) and .03 respectively. The wing is forced to pitch-up through a ramp function, using a wide range of reduced frequency to provide a good understanding of reduced frequency effect on high amplitude pitch maneuvers. Three reduced frequency values of .0834, 0.134 and 0.04, are used in this study. The computed results are compared with each other as well as the existing experimental data.
