Three-dimensional simulation effects of trailing edge actuation on a morphing A320 wing by means of hybrid turbulence modelling

Résumé

Abstract Purpose This study aims to investigate the effects of electroactive morphing on the Airbus A320 Reduced Scale prototype of the H2020 N° 723402 European Research project smart morphing and sensing (SMS) for aeronautical configurations [1],[2]. Design/methodology/approach The flow regimes correspond to low subsonic take-off conditions. The morphing is applied through the vibration and slight deformation of the near trailing edge region; respecting the way, this actuation has been applied on the experimental prototype using micro fibre composite actuators. Optimal frequency range has been used, associated with low amplitudes of deformation with the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian methodology. This study used an adapted turbulence modelling with the organised eddy simulation (OES) as well as a hybrid approach delayed detached eddy simulation – with embedded OES (DDES–OES), able to sensitise and keep up the coherent structures development. Findings The morphing at an optimal frequency (300 Hz) and amplitude (0.7 mm), applied on a length (3.5 cm) near the trailing edge, has been studied at Reynolds number 1 million and incidence of 10°. The effects on the main flow instabilities and on the turbulent vortex structures are analysed using proper orthogonal decomposition. A modification of the wake structures and a formation of organised rows of vortices along the shear layer are obtained. This leads to a quasi-two-dimensional wake, benefits on the aerodynamic performance and a decrease of the frequency peaks in the spectrum, corresponding to an attenuation of the coherent structures. Originality/value This study provides a fundamental understanding of how the actuation modifies the coherent and turbulent vortex structures around the wing and in the wake.
