Abstract

Recent enhancements and applications of the flow solver FLOWer are presented in this paper. A locally formulated laminar-turbulent transition model is implemented and used for simulations of a steady and pitching finite wing. Corresponding experimental results show good agreement on transition points. In CFD, a separation bubble is observed that triggers laminar-turbulent transition. Furthermore, the paper focuses on CFD simulations conducted on Airbus Helicopters’ compound helicopter RACER and the underlying setup, including flexible main rotor blades, engine boundary conditions and deformable flaps. Finally, interaction phenomena and interesting flow characteristics are described for hovering and cruise conditions.
