Kestrel results on a 2d cut of the high lift common research model wing

High lift configurations required at takeoff and landing are an important part of the flight regime for any aircraft. The High Lift Prediction series of workshops is dedicated to studying flow phenomena in this regime while the Geometry and Mesh Generation series of workshops is working in conjunction with the High-Lift community to look at issues specific to the mesh and geometry. This paper describes computational fluid dynamics simulations using HPCMP CREATE™-AV flow solvers on systematically varied meshes of a 2-D multi-element wing section from the NASA High Lift Common Research Model. A multivariate mesh resolution study is performed and the effects of varying mesh properties are quantified by investigating their influence on a range of flow characteristics relevant to flight at high-lift conditions.
