Abstract:SummaryThe two-dimensional, incompressible f10w at Reynolds number Re = Uc;; ·e = 1.3.10 6 around an inextensible, flexible membrane airfoil (sail) with varying excess length E is examined sol ving the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations on grids deforming according to the sail movement within fixed outer boundaries. Results are presented for fully turbulent conditions employing closure models of different degree of complexity in comparison to experimental and analytical results. Good agreement ca… Show more
