Abstract

This manuscript describes methods to improve the performance of a vertical stabilizer in terms of yawing moment with tip fence, leading-edge vortex generator and delta-shaped vortex generator passive flow control devices, in addition to the midchord vortex generators and dorsal fin discussed in our previous manuscript. A vertical stabilizer designed by ONERA was mounted on the NASA Common Research Model to computationally and experimentally investigate the performance of the flow control devices at several rudder deflection angles. A parametric study of the flow control devices was conducted using wind tunnel tests and computational fluid dynamics simulations, which were also used to understand how vortices generated around the flow control devices interact with the leading-edge separation vortex and boundary layer on the vertical stabilizer and rudder, and how the vortices improve the lateral performance of the vertical stabilizer. Wind tunnel tests were also used to validate the computational results.
