Abstract

Within the German BNF research project a generic twin-engine configuration with an active high-lift wing and modern turboprop engines is investigated. This paper deals with high fidelity RANS computations of the wind tunnel configuration measured in previous measurement campaigns. The simulation data is in good agreement with the experiment. The presented investigations focus on the jet flow due to the internally blown flap and the propeller slipstream.
