Fluid-Structure Interaction on the Leeside Flow of a Generic Body-Flap Model

Abstract

In the present study a numerical coupling tool for fluid-thermal structure interaction is validated in terms of a generic body-flap model with strong radiation effects on the flap leeside. Coupling effects such as flow topology changes on the flap leeside occur. Special emphasis is placed on the numerical rebuilding of the flow condition entering the test section which has a larger impact on the coupling effects. The numerical results found are in good agreement with the experimental data gained in the arc heated facility.
