Through applying phenomenological model of nanosecond pulse dielectric barrier discharge(NS-DBD) actuation to the leading edge of delta wing
the flow control simulation was conducted over a 47° blunt-edged delta wing. The variations of lift coefficients and drag coefficients at different attack angles
as well as the evolutions of flow structure and induced vortex
were analyzed. The results show that
if ignited at the reduced frequency of F+=1.44
the actuation can obviously improve the lift coefficients before and after stall
and the drag coefficients also increased
and kept consistent with the experimental results. Chordwise vortex induced by every actuation could change the structure of the leading-edge separated shear layer and cause it to curl inwards. There were obvious negative pressure peak values on the wings upper surface for the time-averaged flow field with actuation. Also
the flow reattachment was promoted and the region of backflow was reduced under NS-DBD actuation.
