Abstract

A recently developed, time-accurate multigrid solver has been applied to investigate the capability of predicting trailing edge vortex shedding by means of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and an algebraic turbulence model. Calculations using a mixing-length based model for turbulence closure indicate the inception of shedding even on relatively coarse trailing edge grids.
