Abstract
Numerical computations on a finite wing are carried out using DLR’s finite-volume solver TAU. The tip-vortex characteristics during static stall and deep dynamic stall are analyzed and compared to particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements carried out in the side wind facility Gottingen. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experiment are in good agreement, especially for sections close to the blade tip. Too large dissipation within the numerical computations leads to larger vortex size than in the experiment. The dissipation effect increases with larger distances from the wing. The analysis shows that the numerical method is able to capture the complex vortex structures shed from the wing and helps understanding the source of these structures.
