W eb address: www.aero.pub.ro Proposal title: Advanced Solutions for Transition Effects in Recent Aerodynamic Prediction and Control - ASTERA-PC Keywords: advanced transition modeling, advanced turbulence modeling, new algorithms, flow control Activity: AAT.2007.4.2.1. Flight Physics, Founding scheme: CP, Level 1 Abstract: Motivation This project aims to perform a multidisciplinary research activity on the laminar to turbulent transition and on its effects in aeronautics. Predicting and controlling the onset of turbulent flow is a critical component of many engineering and environmental flows. Understanding the transition mechanism and its numerical simulation for practical purposes is a challenging multi-disciplinary research activity. It requires unified efforts of engineers, mathematicians and physicists and this project also aims to get together their knowledge about this phenomena. Strategic objectives To improve the accuracy of theoretical and numerical predictions of the overall drag, heat transfer, flow separation and related phenomena with effect on diminishing the cost of integrating complex simulations in aerodynamic and structural design through transferring fundamental research results into the industrial framework. Technical objectives To create a common data base of efficient theoretical models, numerical and software tools accompanied by relevant experimental results for transition prediction and control in order to optimize the performance of different devices operating in transitional regime. Proposal abstract The prediction of transition is complicated by the fact that it does not correspond very directly to the instability occurrence. The characteristics of laminar and turbulent flows are so different that the precise location of the transition location has a determinant influence on the flow. This project aims to perform a multidisciplinary research activity on the laminar to turbulent transition and on its effects in aerodynamic flow simulation through a joint program of activities on mathematical modeling and development of engineering tools and through formation of a joint knowledge basis. Mathematical modeling Stability analysis for laminar flows, especially for boundary layers, is well developed in the limits of small disturbances theory. However, the instabilities go through a series of complex nonlinear and three-dimensional processes before turbulence itself actually develops. Classical stability analysis is less helpful with the prediction transition where external free-stream disturbances bypass the classic instability mechanisms and initiate the nonlinear three-dimensional transition process
