RAE M2155 Wing

Application Challenge 1-02 © copyright ERCOFTAC 2004


Application Challenge (AC) Title: RAE M2155 Wing
AC Author and Thematic Area: P. Catalano (CIRA) and A. Hutton (DERA), TA1
Reviewer (Name/Organisation) : J.B. Vos/CFS Engineering



1 TOP LEVEL CHECK YES NO CO
1.1 Is this AC an Industrial test case for judging CFD competency?
1.2 Are the design/assessment parameters (DOAPs) defined?
1.3 Have these assessment parameters been measured?
1.4 Are CFD calculations available ?
H M L
1.5 Importance of AC to Industrial Sector (IS)?
Comments:

Only the aerodynamic coefficients are mentioned as DOAP’s, which can be considered as somewhat limited, in particular for turbulent flows.

Remark that the RAE M2155 wing has been used in different European funded projects, as for example AVTAC and FLOWNET.




Please identify Underlying Flow Regimes for this AC:
3.1 Reattaching shear layers/pressure recovery
3.1 Shock-boundary layer interaction
3.1 Boundary layer under adverse pressure gradient causing separation
3.2 3D Skewed boundary layer
3.4 Wing – body (ground plate) junction
