Jean-Baptiste R. G. Souppez Mercedes-AMG Petronas Aerodynamic Department Lecture – 10th September 2019 33
BACKGROUND
Wind Tunnel assumption: the flow is turbulent (at the scales
typically tested in dedicated wind tunnel facilities)
Inconsistencies noticed in the pressure distribution on wind
tunnel tested models Some exhibit laminar separation bubbles while others do not.
This is characterized by a plateau in the spanwise pressure coefficient
![Page 34: Mercedes-AMG Petronas Lecture - Souppez, 2019...2019/09/10 · Jean-Baptiste R. G. Souppez Mercedes-AMG Petronas Aerodynamic Department Lecture –10th September 2019 41 PARTICLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071418/611695d11d247c58a959ec12/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Jean-Baptiste R. G. Souppez Mercedes-AMG Petronas Aerodynamic Department Lecture – 10th September 2019 34
BACKGROUND
Low Reynolds number: discontinuity in the lift and drag (Lombardi, 2014)
Abrupt change in separation point at the same angle (Martin, 2015)
![Page 35: Mercedes-AMG Petronas Lecture - Souppez, 2019...2019/09/10 · Jean-Baptiste R. G. Souppez Mercedes-AMG Petronas Aerodynamic Department Lecture –10th September 2019 41 PARTICLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071418/611695d11d247c58a959ec12/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Jean-Baptiste R. G. Souppez Mercedes-AMG Petronas Aerodynamic Department Lecture – 10th September 2019 35
HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis: these is a combination of critical Reynolds number and critical angle of
attack that will trigger transition.

IDEALISED MODEL
Idealised Lift Coefficient:
The flow is turbulent above a critical Reynolds
number of 220k irrelevant of the angle of
attack
Below 220k, there is a combination of
Reynolds number and angle of attack that will
induce transition
What angle of attack is needed to inflate
a soft spinnaker?
And what is the associated Reynolds
number to guarantee a turbulent flow?

Jean-Baptiste R. G. Souppez Mercedes-AMG Petronas Aerodynamic Department Lecture – 10th September 2019 47
IDEAL ANGLE OF ATTACK
11 degrees is the ideal angle of attack
A minimum Re of 144k (±2k) is required

APPLICATIONS
Now allows to explain the inconsistencies noticed: Model & full-scale experiments with a high enough Reynolds number are still valid
Model scale experiments at too low a Reynolds number should be discarded
Interesting case of Bot et al. 2014: LSB at the shallowest AWA
Suggest the critical AoA for that Reynolds
number was not reached yet
Higher AWA however appear to be above the
critical AoA to trigger transition
We can now ensure model scale
experiments appropriately replicate the
full-scale turbulent separation on
spinnakers

BACKGROUND
Leading Edge Vortex (LEV): Coherent vortex formed by a roll up of vorticity at the leading edge
Vorticity convected towards the centre of the vortex
If vorticity if extracted from the axis of the vortex, a stable LEV is achieved
Vorticity is typically extracted inside the vortex core towards the tip of the wing
