Abstract/Summary:
A procedure is proposed which allows the extension of incompressible high Reynolds Number wind tunnel data to even higher incompressible flight Reynolds Numbers using a computational solution about the airfoil. The new procedure is predicated on the performance of different grid refinements and turbulence models versus functions of y...
