Abstract

The Pazy Wing test case is a benchmark for the investigation of aeroelastic effects at very large deflections. Tip deformations in the order of 50% span were measured in wind tunnel tests which renders this model highly attractive for the validation of numerical aeroelastic methods and tools for geometrically nonlinear, large deflection analyses. The present work is focused on high fidelity aerodynamic and aeroelastic simulations of the wing using RANS and URANS with transition modeling in order to capture nonlinear effects originating from the shape of the wing and the low Reynolds number. Steady and unsteady aerodynamic as well as static coupling simulations with a nonlinear structural model are presented, the impact of the different transition and turbulence modeling techniques is depicted. This work supports the Large Deflection Working Group (LDWG), which is one of the sub-groups of the 3rd Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop (AePW3).
