Abstract

In this article, we demonstrate promising results from spectral element-based wall-modeled large-eddy simulation (WMLES) of the flow around the Aerospatiale A-airfoil at a near-stall condition. The flow configuration follows that studied in [6] by means of wall-resolved (WR)LES: the angle of attack is 13.3∘ and the cord Reynolds number Rec=107. This case has several attractive properties as a test-bed for WMLES approaches. The high Reynolds number allows to clearly demonstrate the savings offered by modeling the inner layer, and provides justification for treating it in an averaged sense (which most wall models do).
