Abstract

AbstractThe effects of the model surface to free stream adiabatic temperature ratio (Tw/Tad) on periodic transonic flow over a 14% thick biconvex aerofoil are evaluated using a computational fluid dynamic approach. The analysis is based on the thin layer Navier Stokes equations with Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model. The results of computations showed that on biconves aerofoils there is a large effect of heat transfer on instantaneous pressure distributions and periodic buffet excitation level confirming some of the available experimental data. The effects observed have an implication in wind tunnel measurement of buffet associated periodic transonic flows.
