- Abstract
This paper aims at improving dynamic stall predictions on the S809 aerofoil under 2D flow conditions. The method is based on the well-known Beddoes-Leishman model; however, a new flow separation model and a noise generator are integrated to improve the predictions in the load fluctuations, including those induced by vortex shedding on the aerofoil upper surface. The flow separation model was derived from a unique approach based on the combined use of unsteady aerodynamic loads measurements, the Beddoes-Leishman model and a trial-and-error technique. The new flow separation model and random noise generator were integrated in the Beddoes-Leishman model through a new solution algorithm. The numerical predictions of the unsteady lift and drag coefficients were then compared with the Ohio State University measurements for the oscillating S809 aerofoil at several reduced frequencies and angles of attack. The results using the proposed models showed improved correlation with the experimental data. Hysteresis loops for the aerodynamic coefficients are in good agreement with measurements.
