APPLICABILITY OF THE OPEN SOURCE PACKAGE OPENFOAM FOR NUMERICAL MODELING SEPARATED FLOW AROUND AN AIRCRAFT AT SUBSONIC AND SUPERSONIC SPEEDS

Abstract

Applicability of the open source package OpenFOAM for numerical modeling different separated flows have been considered in the cases studies of the influence of vortices and their interaction with lifting surfaces, features of the flow field of rapidly rotating aerial vehicles at presence of separation flow and study of supersonic separated flow field in flight controls.
