English Abstract
The study of the separation control using the jet blowing based on the computation of Reynolds average Navier-Stocks equations is carried out in this work.
A numerical model based on collocated Finite Volume method is developed to solve the governing equations on a body-fit ted grid, to compute the performance of airfoil by using the blowing jet Above of all, the performance of turbulence model is investigation.
A revised k-ɯ model is proposed as the known turbulence models perform well in reproducing the flow of airfoil at pre-stall or stall angle of attack.
The systematical investigation of the jet blowing is conducted on the NACA 2412 airfoil in the range of attack angle from 0° to 30° included up and beyond the stall angle at range of Re = 3,4* 103-L7*106 .
The influence of some parameters associated with using jet blowing, such as its location, and the speed ratio (Uj / U) strength on the performance of the NACA 2412 airfoil has also been studied.
The result shows.
that the jet blowing is effective in controlling the separation at 0.3c and Uj / U =2.
The large separation region cannot be completely removed by the jet blowing.
However, the flow structure can be regularized.
The lift coefficient of the control airfoil is also increased with the angle of the attack and Uj / U increase. The experimental results are obtained on airfoil NACA 2412 at 0.3c blowing and Uj / U=2.
This model was tested in the low speed wind tunnel of the fluids laboratory (one of the laboratories In the mechanical engineering department at the University of Technology), the experimental results are been good agreement with the computational results.
