CFD Simulation of Flow Past Wing Body Junction: A 3-D Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Turbulence and flow disturbances occurring at the wing body junction of aircraft causes aerodynamic drag and decreases the performance. The main objective of this work is to modify the design at wing body junction by the addition of different types of fillets and strakes and see if there is any reduction from previously generated drag. The validation of the new design was simulated using CFX where Naiver Stokes equations were solved on the modified design by using suitable turbulence models. These small modifications in design proved to be very efficient. Application of these design changes at wing body junction of commercial aircraft will prove to be highly effective in enhancing flight performance.
