NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE FLOW AROUND WING TIPS

Abstract

The paper deals with the problems of modelling of flow around wing tip and tip vortex cavitation. Theoretical bases of vorticity method and vorticity calculation models for design and estimation of hydrodynamic characteristics of the hydrofoil are presented. Basic assumptions of double layer lifting surface model are described. Double layer lifting surface model enables proper modelling of the phenomena occurring in the flow around a hydrofoil tip and especially generation of free vortices system.

Keywords:

vortex theory, lifting surface model, hydrofoil
