Abstract

A solver based on rigid moving mesh and DDES techniques is implemented to investigate the unsteady flows around an 80°/65°double delta wing during a sinusoidal pitching motion with reduced frequency equal to 0.4. We focus on the behavior of burst point, helical mode instability, pressure fluctuations and dynamic pitching stability. The response of burst point is nearly a simple harmonic motion and locked in the frequency of pitching motion associated with a phase lag. The time-averaged flow after breakdown regions is still approximately a conical flow, whose cone angle is different from the steady state. Cm lags behind with the variation of incidence, which means dynamic pitching stability is obtained.
