Summary of the First AIAA CFD High-Lift Prediction Workshop

TLDR

The workshop employed a range of structured and unstructured grid systems, analyzed flap‑angle trends, grid family, density, solver, turbulence model, and support‑bracket effects, and compared the combined results from all participants with experimental data. The workshop produced CFD results and a statistical summary of those results.

Abstract

CFD results. A variety of grid systems (both structured and unstructured) were used. Trends due to flap angle were analyzed, and effects of grid family, grid density, solver, and turbulence model were addressed. Some participants alsoassessed theeffects of supportbrackets used toattach the flapandslatto themain wing.Thispaper analyzesthe combined results from all workshop participants. Comparisons with experimental data are made. A statistical summary of the CFD results is also included.
