Learn how to use the vortex shedding boundary condition in Simcenter Flightstream to accurately model leading-edge vortex lift on delta wings.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to define vortex shedding boundary conditions, configure the appropriate solver settings, select the recommended boundary layer and airfoil separation models, visualize vortex lift using surface sections, and compare simulation results against experimental data for delta wings with different aspect ratios. You'll also learn when the vortex shedding model should be used and the solver limitations to ensure accurate aerodynamic predictions.
• 00:00 Introduction
• 00:10 Define vortex shedding boundary conditions
• 00:45 Configure solver settings
• 01:11 Set up surface sections for vortex lift
• 01:39 Initialize the solver
• 01:58 Visualize surface pressure and vortex lift
• 02:25 Validation against experimental data
• 03:26 Conclusion
