Abstract

Prediction of the dynamic response of aircraft in the entire flight envelope is necessary in order to define stability margins in any possible operative situation, in particular where the flow is strongly affected by compressibility and viscous effects. Complex flow phenomena appear such as shock induced boundary layer separations, characterized by multiple turbulent time and lenghtscales. Aeroelasticists traditionally prefer the URANS approach; however, hybrid RANS-LES simulations are increasingly popular, at least among researchers. The Second AIAA Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop has proposed a test case, Test Case 3, where the flow physics may benefit from the higher physical consistence of RANS-LES modelling. A number of considerations, prompted by the discussions with the organizers and participants, are proposed.
