Abstract:The optimization method provides an effective approach to enhance the low-speed lift of the vortex lift waveriders by deforming the aerodynamic shape refinedly. However, the vortex lift enhancement mechanism of the optimized configuration is unclear. In this study, the flow evolutions of the original and the optimized configurations are studied by employing the delayed detached-eddy simulation. Results indicate that the convex deformation of the leeward surface plays a dominant role in enhancing the vortex lif… Show more
