Abstract
The present study consists in an analysis of the DNS database of a flow overcoming a transitional separation induced by an adverse pressure gradient on a flat plate under a curved upper wall. This study takes place in the context of improving RANS models for the simulation of the stall phenomenon for rotor blades applications. To mimic the real flow mechanisms, the flow characteristics are chosen to be typical of the leading edge of the OA209 airfoil at an incidence just below stall occurence: 15° of incidence, Rc∞=1.8×106 and M∞=0.16. The budgets of the turbulent kinetic energy transport equations have been computed by the DNS. Their evolution is analysed from the separation up to the downstream turbulent flow. Comparisons with a URANS k–ω Wilcox computation are presented to illustrate the application of the DNS simulation.
