Title: ON THE EFFECT OF AREA RULING ON TRANSONIC ABRUPT WING STALL
Authors: K.D. Jones, M.F. Platzer, D.L. Rodriguez and G. Guruswamy
Abstract:
Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations of the transonic flow over a generic fighter
aircraft wing/LEX/body configuration are presented. Data in the pre and post-stall regime
are presented, and it is shown that small changes in the cross-sectional area distribution
in the aft body has a significant effect on the onset of wing stall, but more systematic
computations are needed before the effectiveness of area-ruling can be firmly established.
