Transonic wing analysis

A CFD comparison study extended to a coupled structural model.

Project
Personal project
Pressure-coefficient field over an ONERA M6 wing.
Surface pressure coefficient on the ONERA M6 wing.

The brief

Study transonic flow over the ONERA M6 wing and compare surface pressures with reference measurements.

The approach

Pressure and Mach-number fields describe the flow solution. The study also includes a spar-and-rib model for coupled fluid–structure analysis.

Work shown

  • CFD fields
  • Pressure comparisons
  • Coupled wing model
