摘要

Steady-state numerical simulations were conducted to capture the aerodynamic characteristics and flow patterns resulting from a tubercled and non-tubercled wing subjected to various combined pitch and yaw conditions at \(Re=1.8 \times 10^{5}\) R e = 1.8 × 10 5 . Pitch angle ranged from \(0^{\circ }\) 0 to \(25^{\circ }\) 25 , while two different yaw angles of \(10^{\circ }\) 10 and \(30^{\circ }\) 30 were used. Results show that \(10^{\circ }\) 10 yaw angle does not impact upon the lift and drag characteristics significantly, while a \(30^{\circ }\) 30 yaw angle leads to substantial lift and drag losses. Additionally, the tubercled wing continues to confer favourable stall-mitigating characteristics even for the larger yaw angle. Finally, despite skewing the flow structures significantly, the \(30^{\circ }\) 30 yaw angle also reduces the formations of bi-periodic flow structures, flow separations and recirculating regions along the leading-edge tubercles, suggesting potentially better flow stability and controllability.
