Abstract
In this thesis, the separation bubble behavior and its effect on the steady and dynamic stall characteristics of a thin airfoil in a compressible flow at a transitional Reynolds number was studied. For such flows, laminar separation occurs near the airfoil leading edge, but turbulent reattachment occurs within a short distance downstream, forming a separation bubble in the underlying region. Two experimental techniques, point diffraction interferometry (PDI) and laser doppler velocimetry (LDV), were used to acquire detailed flowfield information that showed the development of the leading-edge separation bubble and its subsequent bursting at higher angles of attack. The initiation of the stall process from the leading-edge separation bubble as opposed to trailing-edge flow reversal pointed to the need for transitional flow analysis. Both in the boundary layer and Reynolds-averaged, Navier-Stokes (N-S) analysis methods, transition models were incorporated to determine the location and extent of the transition zone that best modeled the measured separation bubble behavior. Computed results for steady flow gave remarkable agreement with the measurements
