Summary on Grant Application Form
Glasgow University is making the only CFD contributions from UK to three major international exercises on delta wing aerodynamics. The first is with THALES grouping (QinetiQ, DLR, NLR, EADS and Alenia) looking at free to roll delta wing calculations The second is with the NATA RTO AG80 grc delta wing aerodynamics which features NRC, NASA, USAF, NLR, KTH, ONERA, Bath and Dassault which is now comparing predictions for a 70 degree delta wing with detailed experimental data. The third group is organised by NASA and aims to validate predictions at flight Reynolds numbers for the F This grouping involves NASA, USAF, Lockheed-Martin, NLR, KTH and EARS. Participation in these exercises, aside from promoting interaction with international researchers, allows a detailed assessment of current understanding and capabilities for delta wing aerodynamics and unsteady CFD generally. The proposal asks for a travel budget of 13240 to allow attendance and participation in projects meetings for the three exercises.
