Abstract

A numerical study was carried out to assess the interference effects between the wake of a transport aircraft and several generic cargo bodies during the early stage of an airdrop scenario. Based on experimental data and preceding numerical simulations distinct positions of the trajectory being subject to strong interference effects were stati- cally reproduced. The flow field around the bodies was experimentally investigated using stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry and compared to steady and unsteady Reynolds- averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computations. The latter were carried out using the unstructured DLR TAU code. The primary focus is to assess the suitability, accuracy and the limitations of RANS methods in such challenging flow conditions. Therefore, the influence of several turbulence models was investigated and compared to experimental field velocity data. Although deviations in the wake of the bodies were observed, the qualitative agreement between the steady simulations and experiment was very good. Quantitatively, however, the steady approach leaves room for further improvements. The gap to the experimental data could partially be reduced in applying unsteady RANS methods.
