Abstract
The modeling requirements for validating Navier-Stokes computations of a high-lift trapezoidal wing are investigated. This wing has a full-span slat and a full-span flap and has been tested extensively in the NASA Langley 14 x 22-ft Wind Tunnel and the NASA Ames 12-ft Pressure Wind Tunnel. Because of the size of the wing, there are significant facility effects in the data from the 12-ft wind tunnel. Computational models of the test facility of differing fidelity are developed and tested. Results are compared with experimental lift, drag, and surface pressures. In the computations a simplified, inviscid model of the test section performs as well as a high-fidelity, viscous test-section model. Computed results generally compare very well with experimental data at all but the highest angles of attack. A comparison of computational results from both free-air and wind-tunnel simulations at the same lift condition indicates that it is necessary to simulate the wind tunnel to perform validation using the 12-ft wind-tunnel experimental data
