Abstract

A delta wing configuration with a sweep angle of 65° has been investigated numerically by detached eddy simulation and compared to experimental results. In the simulations different refinement settings of the grid as well as time different time step sizes have been applied in order to reproduce the formation of the primary vortex correctly. For the comparison experimental data is available from steady and unsteady surface pressure measurements, hot wire anemometry and several other measurement techniques.
