Summary

A procedure for the design of low-speed, single-element airfoi1s with high lift to drag ratios is presented. The procedure uses an inverse approach which proceeds from a set of desiraó1e boundary 1ayer characteristics, which are determined from the performance objectives, to a velocity distribution and, fina11y, to an airfoi1 shape. The boundary 1ayer shape factor, which is a measure of the nearness of the

boundary 1ayer to separation, is used to de fine the boundary 1ayer characteristics in the upper surface pressure recovery region. The turbulent boundary 1ayer equations are solved in inverted form to ca1cu1ate the velocity distribution which corresponds to a shape factor variation. The ve10cities on the upper surface prior to pressure recovery are chosen to cause boundary 1ayer transition at a desired location. The lower surface velocity distribution is se1ected to satisfy the requirement that a c1osed, non-reentrant shapewhich meets the specified structura1 requirements resu1ts. The design procedure described can be uti1ized for the

design of high performance airfoi1s for a variety of performance objectives, operating conditions, and practical constraints.

Using this procedure, an airfoi1 has been designed which achieves a lift to drag ratio of 180 at a lift coefficient of 1.2 and a Reyno1ds number of one mi11ion. Through this design study, a set of guide1ines for the design of a1rfoi1s with high lift to drag ratios is estab11shed.

1. Introduction

The advent of high-speed computers and advanced

numerical methods has led to new possibi1ities in airfoi1 design. Prior to 1930, airfoi1 design was primari1y an empirica1 process aided somewhat by potentia1 flow theory. In the 1~30's, boundary 1ayer considerations were

qua1itative1y integrated into the design of "low-drag" sections such as the NACA 6-series airfoi1s. Significant improvements upon these sections were not achieved unti1 the late 1950's, when large computers became avai1ab1e. Since that time, the performance of the NACA 6-series has been consistent1y exceeded by sections such as the Wortmann FX-series (Ref. 1).

The present~day designer has at hand an extensive array

of numerical ca1cu1ation techniques. Singu1arity methods are a general, accurate, and efficient way of performing a potentia1 flow ca1cu1ation. Boundary 1ayer characteristics can be accurate1y determined by a variety of techniques, inc1uding integra1 and finite-difference methods (which invo1ve some empiricism). Empirica1 corre1ations adequately predict boundary 1ayer transition and separation. Fina1ly, iterative schemes are avai1ab1e to combine potentia1 flow and viscous solutions so the ana1ysis of ful1y attached

(10)

viscous flow about two-dimensional sections can be performed.

The recent advances in airfoil design, however, are primarily the result of a change in the fundamental design approach from an iterative cut and try procedure to a synthesis or inverse technique. The traditional empirical approach consists of modifying an initial shape by trial and error until given performance objectives are achieved. The inverse approach, in

contrast, begins with a set of boundary layer characteristics which are derived from the performance objectives. The

velocity distribution which results in these characteristics is determined and, finally, the shape which produces this velocity distribution is calculated. The airfoil section shapes generated by such an inverse design approach, such as the Liebeck high-lift sections (Ref. 2), are generally unique and are not likely to be obtained using an

empirical approach.

This thesis describes an example of an inverse approach applied to the design of an airfoil with a high lift to drag ratio. As energy costs continue to rise, low fuel consumption is becoming an increasingly high priority in aircraft design and hence such sections are required.

In general, an airfoil design problem involves several conflicting requirements and therefore the final solution

(11)

must include some compromises. The design criteria and their relative importance must be determined from the intended application. While the airfoil designed in this study reflects the specific priorities chosen, the design procedure described can be applied to the design of

airfoils for a variety of applications. Some basic airfoil design considerations are discussed in the following

(12)

2. Basic Design Considerations

The design of a new low-speed, single-element

airfoil involves finding a section with desired performance characteristics under specific operating conditions within certain practical constraints, i.e. a section tailored to a given application. However, because there are many

design trade-offs, different section shapes can be found for a single application, each the re sult of different priorities.

The performance objectives normally considered are high lift, high lift to drag ratio, low drag, or a

specific pitching moment coefficient. When high lift is desired, such as for STOL aircraft, the importance of the nature of the stall break must be assessed, i.e.

should the maximum l i f t coefficient be sacrificed somewhat to achieve "gentle" stall? Similarly, if a high lift to drag ratio is the goal (or simply low drag, such as for a strut), a compromise must be reached between the minimum drag and the width of the low drag bucket, since a

decrease in drag is generally accompanied by a reduction in bucket width. Possible pitching moment characteristics which may be desired, though usually a low priority, are a positive moment for flying wing type aircraft or a low

,

-moment to reduce trim loads and aeroelastic effects. The operating conditions which must be specified are

the design lift coefficient, Reynolds number, and Mach

number. In addition, off-design considerations lead to

a range of these quantities under which adequate performance is expected.

Practical constaints include a structural requirement such as a minimum section modulus. Of ten simply a minimum thickness/chord ratio is stipulated. Also, the type of wing construction is a practical consideration for the surface quality has a significant effect on the location

of boundary layer transition.

The criteria for this design study were not chosen with a specific application in mind but rather to prove the validity and accuracy of the design procedure in

general. The design goal was to maximize the section lift to drag ratio with no restriction imposed upon the design lift coefficient. Minimal consideration was given to

off-design performance and the stall break. The design Reynolds number was chosen to be one million corresponding to the aval1able test facillty. Compresslbility effects were neglected. The thickness/chord ratio was required to be fifteen percent, typlcal of a practical section, and the surface was assumed to be smooth.

(14)

3. Design Procedure

An inverse airfoil design approach begins with a set of boundary layer characteristics which are determined from the performance objectives. The boundary layer characteristics of primary interest are the location of transition and the local proximity to separation in the pressure recovery region, i.e. the angle-of-attack

perturbation which can be tolerated without flow sepa-ration. Calculating the velocity distribution which results in the desired boundary layer characteristics constitutes the inverse boundary layer problem. The

d"irect problem is to solve the boundary layer equations

for the boundary layer parameters, H, Q, and Cf' given

a velocity distribution. In inverted form, these equations can be solved for a velocity distribution if the variation of one of the parameters is specified.

The airfoil shape is determined from the calculated velocity distribution by an inverse potential flow calculation. However, a velocity distribution can be produced by a real, i.e. closed and non-reentrant, shape only i f certain conditions derived from conformal mapping

theory are satisfied (Ref. 3). The structural requirements

(15)

layer characteristics cannot be specified on the entire airfoi1. Hence i t is practical to define a form for the velocity distribution, exp1icit1y uti1izing the inverse boundary 1ayer equations on1y in regions where the boundary 1ayer characteristics are particu1arly important.

For most app1ications, the upper, or 1ifting, surface is more critical. Thus the upper surface velocity distri-bution can be defined whi1e the lower surface ve10cities are allowed some freedom in order that a physica11y

rea1izab1e shape which satisfies the structura1 requirements wil1 result. On the upper surface, the boundary 1ayer

deve10pment in the pressure recovery region is extreme1y important. In this region the boundary 1ayer characteristics shou1d be specified and the ve10cities exp1icit1y ca1cu1ated. Prior to pressure recovery, a form is norma11y assumed

for the velocity distribution, though the inverse laminar boundary 1ayer equations can be app1ied in the transition region to achieve the desired location and type of

transition.The construction of the upper surface velocity distribution, inc1uding the specification of the transition point and the boundary 1ayer characteristics in the

recovery region, represents the key element in the design process. The remainder of the prob1em is to a large extent computationa1.

(16)

to drag ratio. The primary consideration in the design

of a low drag airfoil is the location of the transition

from laminar to turbulent flow. As shown in Figure 1, the

skin friction drag of a turbulent boundary layer is much greater than that of a laminar layer. Thus transition must be delayed as long as possible on both surfaces of

the airfoil.

The transition point location is dependent primarily upon the Reynolds number and the pressure distribution. Secondary influences are the free-stream turbulence level and the roughness of the airfoil surface. In general, an increase in Reynolds nurnber reduces the stability of the laminar boundary layer and a negative velocity gradient adds a further destabilizing influence. These effects are shown in Figure 2, which displays three linearly varying velocity distributions which re sult in the same transition

point (at x/c=0.7, where u/u~=1.5) at three different chord

Reynolds numbers. At a Reynolds number of 1.5 X 106 , a

constant velocity leads to transition at x/c=0.7. In order to achieve the same transition point at a Reynolds nurnber ten times higher, the stabilizing effect of a positive velocity gradient is required while a negative gradient canbe tolerated at a Reynolds number ten times lower.

For the usual range of chord Reynolds numbers, the boundary layer cannot remain laminar in a region of substantial

(17)

adverse pressure gradient. Thus a turbulent boundary layer is inevitable on the aft portion of the upper surface of a lifting airfoil without active boundary layer control as the pressure recovers to its trailing edge value.

The rate at which the pressure can recover is limited by the possibility of turbulent separation which results i f the adverse pressure gradient is too steep and must be avoided on a low drag airfoil. Therefore the shortest possible distance for a given velocity decrease is that for a velocity distribution which is on the verge of

separation throughout. Such velocity distributions, which have a concave shape in contrast to the roughly linear recovery regions of the NACA 6-series, have been employed in the design of high lift sections (Ref. 2). If transition is avoided until pressure recovery begins, the length of the turbulent boundary layer region is minimized by this form of pressure recovery. Alternatively, for a given

transition point and hence a given length for the pressure recovery region, such a pressure distribution allows the highest possible velocity prior to recovery to a given

trailing edge velocity. Hence this form of pressure recovery is suitable for the design of airfoils with high lift to drag ratios as weIl. From a practical standpoint, though, the flow about an airfoil should not be on the verge of

(18)

separation when the airfoil is operating at its design

incidence. However, a similar argument also applies to

a velocity distribution which has a constant local

proximity to separation in the recovery region. For a given danger of separation, such a pressure recovery region, which is also concave, results in the shortest possible recovery region and hence a high lift to drag ratio.

A pressure distribution with a constant local proximity to separation in the recovery region leads to a sudden stall break. In general, it is preferabIe for the onset

of separation .to begin at the trailing edge and to proceed

forwards on the airfoil as the angle-of-attack is further increased. Therefore, at the design incidence, the boundary layer should become nearer to separating as the trailing edge is approached.

Several criteria exist for predicting turbulent

separation (Ref. 4), including Stratford's method (Ref. 5)

and a shape factor criterion which predicts separation when H reaches a value between 1.8 and 2.4. A pressure distribution which exactly satisfies Stratford's criterion throughout can be calculated without recourse to the

inverse boundary layer equations, as given by the following

equations (the "Stratford distribution", Refs. 5 and 6):

The constants a and bare determined by the requirement of continuity between equations 3.1 and 3.2. The subscript o denotes a quantity at the start of pressure recovery. The quantity So accounts rough1y for a favourable pressure

gradient or a laminar boundary layer prior to pressure recovery.

The shape factor criterion requires a complete boundary layer calculation and hence takes into account more

accurately the boundary layer development prior to the

recovery region (Ref.

4).

A velocity distribution can

be calculated from a shape factor variation through the inverse turbulent boundary layer equations. Since the value of the shape factor quantifies the local proximity to separation, its use allows considerably more flexibility

(20)

than the use of Stratford's criterion. The shape factor thus provides an ideal link between the desired boundary layer characteristics and the velocity distribution in the recovery region. Figure 3 displays the shape factor variation of a NACA 6-series section, which is typical of roughly linear pressure recovery. The boundary layer becomes much nearer to separating as the trailing edge is approached, particularly at the lowest Reynolds number shown. Steeper recovery is possible early in the recovery region without a reduction in the angle-of-attack at which the airfoil stalls.

The criterion that separation occurs when H reaches a value between 1.8 and 2.4 was developed for conventional shapes, which generally have a rapidly increasing shape factor in the vicinity of the separation point. For a roughly constant shape factor, the critical value appears to be close to 2.4. The shape factor development of a

Liebeck high-lift section at its design incidence (Fig. 4(a)), which is typical of aStratford velocity distribution, has a constant value of H of roughly 2.2 in the recovery

region. Yet the stall for this section, which is extremely sudden, occurs at an angle-of-attack about four degrees above the design incidence (Fig.

5).

The shape factor development of an airfoil designed for a more gradual stall break typically has higher values of H in the

(21)

vicinity' of the trailing edge, as shown in Figure 4 (b) .

The use of the shape factor as the input to the inverse

Doundary' layer equations is ideal for the design of an

airfoil with given stall characteristics.

Since the nature of the stall break was not a high priority in this particular design study, a constant value of H equal to 1.8 was selected for the pressure recovery region. While a higher value would lead to steeper recovery and hence improved performance at the design incidence, this value was considered to be more suitable for a practical section, of which adequate

performance at off-design Reynolds nurnbers and angles-of-attack is expected.

A linear variation in velocity was chosen to precede the pressure recovery region, the slope to be determined such that boundary layer transition occurs in an orderly fashion just prior to the start of recovery. Transition by laminar separation and reattachment, although used

successfully by Wortmann (Ref. 7), can lead to an initially

thick turbulent boundary layer. Orderly transition can be predicted with reasonable accuracy by the simple

correlation given by Cebeci et al (Ref. 8) which accounts

for the effects of the pressure distribution and the Reynolds nurnber only. Transition is predicted when the Reynolds number based on the momentum thickness of the

(22)

laminar boundary layer exceeds the value calculated from the Reynolds number based on the steamwise distance by the following formula:

Using the approach described in Reference 9, an inverse

turbulent boundary layer program was written to determine a velocity distribution from a specified shape factor variation (Appendix B). If the shape factor variation is given, three equations are required to solve for the

unknowns u, Q, and ~ . Garner's equation for the shape

Using equation 3.7~ equations 3.5 and 3.6 are integrated

Besides the H variation, additional input data required by the program are the location of the start of the recovery

region~ the chord Reynolds number~ and the trailing edge

velocity. Initial values of the velocity and the momentum

thickness, needed to begin the numeri cal integration~ are

computed by the program. Some iteration is required to

determine the initial velocity which results in the desired

t~aillng edge velocity. Since it is assumed that transition

occurs just prior to the recovery region~ the initial value

of the momentum thickness can be determined from the transition criterion once the velocity at transition is known. The transition Reynolds number based on the momentum

thickness is calculated from equation 3.3; the momentum

thickness is then given by:

(24)

(3.8)

For the more general case in whlch the bbundary layer

becomes turbulent before the start of the recovery region, the boundary layer development must be calculated up to the start of recovery and the resulting momentum thickness must be input to the program.

A second computer program was written to determine the gradient of the linear portion of the velocity distribution which results in the desired transition point, given the velocity at transition found from the

p~ogram described above (Appendix C). Thwaites' method

is used to calculate the laminar boundary layer development (Ref. 11, Appendix A). This program is also iterative,

adjusting the gradient until the necessary momentum thick-ness for transition is achieved at the desired point. The chord Reynolds number, the transition point, and the

velocity at transition comprise the input data. The program is not restricted to linear velocity distributions, since Thwaites' method is applicable to laminar flows in general.

Having selected a general form for the velocity distri-bution and a shape factor variation in the recovery region,

two variables remain to be specified to allow' the calculation

(25)

edge velocity and the recovery point. A1though the trailing edge velocity is severe1y constrained, it can have a powerful effect on the performance of a section

(Ref. 12). However, the effects of varying this parameter were not examined in this study. A trailing edge velocity of 0.95, which is typica1 of existing sections, was input to the inverse turbulent boundary layer calculation.

In order to investigate the effect of the recovery point location, a family of upper surface velocity distributions was calculated with the recovery point varying from x/c= 0.30 to x/c= 0.90 (Fig.

7).

On the lower surface, two basic features are generally desirabIe for the velocity distribution. The velocity should be minimized to contribute to the section lift coefficient and to keep the boundary layer thin, thereby reducing the section drag coefficient as weIl. Unlike the upper surface, there is no trade-off between lift and drag on the lower surface, except possibly with

regard to the transition point. In addition, the velocity should increase as long as possible to delay transition. The lower surface velocity distribution can also be used to achieve desired pitching moment characteristics.

However, since the overall velocity distribution must be achieved by a real shape, the lower surface velocity distr1bution cannot be specified independently of that

(26)

on the upper surface. ~or example, on a fifteen percent thick airfoil, the mea,n of' the upper and lower surface velocity ratios, u!u_, must in gener al be greater than 1.1 from roughly x/c=O.lO to x/c=O.60. Referring to figure 7, the design upper surface velocity- ratio in

this region is about 1.2 ~or a recovery point at x/c=O.90. Thus the lower surface velocity cannot be less than the freestream valuein this region so the lift coefficient which can be achieved by a section with this recovery point location is limited. Therefore different upper surface velocity distributions can only be properly

compared if their effect on the lower surface velocities is accounted for.

An initial lower surface velocity distribution which results in a real shape can be determined by recambering a thickness form with the desired maximum thickness/chord ratio to achieve the given upper surface velocity distri-bution. While the resulting lower surface boundary layer characteristics are generally unsatisfactory, this lower surface velocity distribution provides a basis from which an improved distribution can be found.

In order to investigate the effect of the location of the recovery point on the section lift coefficient and

lift to drag ratio, NACA thickness forms with (t/c)max=O.15 wereeambered to give the upper surface velocity

(27)

Whenever possible, a thicknes-s' t'orin was us-ed which begins press-ure recovery at the same point as the design velocity distribution. Therefore the NACA 63-015 th1ckness- form was recambered to give the design velocity distribution wlth recovery point at x/c=0.3, the NACA 64-015 form was used for the

distribution with recovery point at x/c=0.4, etc. For

recovery points aft of x/c=0.7, the NACA 67-015 thickness

form was used. The computer programs described in Refs. 13 and 14 were utilized for the analysis and design computa-tions. To allow for an acceleration region, the velocity was not specified on the first three percent of th.e chord. The design program assumes inviscid flow; hence the designed sections do not achieve the design upper surface velocities exactly when viscous floweffects are included in the

analysis. Also, due to a shortcoming of the design program, upper surface transition occurs somewhat prior to the

start of pressure recovery on all of the sections, causing higher drag values than expected. Figure 8 shows the lift coefficients and lift to drag ratios of the designed

sections as a function of recovery point location.

If a design lift coefficient were specified, the recovery point location would be chosen to satisfy this requirement. Note that this design approach is not applicable to an

extremely low design lift coefficient since th1s would

(28)

require that the pres,sure recovery reglon on the lower surf'ace als-o De cons-ldered in detail. As the lift

coefficient was not constrained in this study, the recovery point location which results in the maximum lift to drag ratio could De chosen. Hence the section

with recovery point at x/c=0.7 was selected for further

study and refinement.

Figures

9

and 10 display this section and the

correspond-ing velocity distribution. The upper surface trailcorrespond-ing edge velocity ratio is considerably lower than the design

value of 0.95. The trailing edge velocity is constrained by limitations on the physical shape of the trailing edge region and by viscous effects. In order to achieve the exact H variation specified, the trailing edge velocity obtained should be input into the inverse boundary layer program, resulting in a new velocity distribution, a new section shape, and a new trailing edge velocity. This iterative procedure usually converges satisfactorily af ter one or two iterations if the initially specified trailing edge velocity is reasonably weIl chosen. In this case, however, the effect of the low trailing edge velocity is to cause an increase in the shape factor near the upper surface trailing edge. Since this should

improve the section stall break, no iteration was performed. The lower surface velocity distribution has the desired

(29)

characterist;tcs: unt1.1 roughly- x!c=.O.7 CF;tg. io). Since the upper surface velocity initia11y recovers more quick1y than on the NACA 67-015 and the mean velocity is constrained by the thickness form,there is a corresponding increase in the lower surface velocity af ter x!c=0.7. This loca1 velocity increase reduces the section lift coefficient and causes premature boundary 1ayer transition, thereby increasing the drag coefficient. Referring to figure 9, the physica1 cause of this velocity increase is apparent: there is a sma11 protruberance on the lower surface of the airfoi1 between x/c=0.7 and x/c=0.9. Remova1 of this protruberance and hence the associated velocity perturbation shifts the transition point to x/c=0.89 from x/c=0.76,

improving the section lift to drag ratio by about seven percent. The a1tered thickness form must be slight1y

recambered to restore the upper surface velocity distribution. At ang1es-of-attack above the design incidence for

this section, a velocity peak resu1ts on the upper surface near the 1eading edge, causing transition by 1aminar

separation and reattachment. Since a turbulent boundary 1ayer grows more quick1y than a 1aminar one, this ear1y transition resu1ts in a thicker boundary 1ayer at the recovery point. The thicker boundary cannot to1erate the steep gradient at the beginning of the pressure recovery region 50 the flow separates. In order to improve the

(30)

off-design performance, the airfoi1 was redesigned to give a flat velocity distrioution near the 1eading edge at an ang1e-of-attack rough1y three degrees above the

design va1ue. Thus at the design incidence, the ve10cities near the 1eading edge are reduced, the flow acce1erating more gradua11y to its peak ve loci ty (compare Figs. 10 and 12). This reduces the lift to drag ratio somewhat. The lower surface was simi1ar1y redesigned near the 1eading edge to remove the velocity peak 2.5 degrees be10w the design incidence (Fig. 15).

The a1teration of the upper surface ve10cities near the 1eading edge affects the location of the transition point. A1so inaccuracies in the design program resu1t in premature transition. Therefore the fina1 step in the design process was to modify the velocity distribution on the upper surface in the vicinity of the transition point by trial and error unti1 transition occurs at the desired location. This reduced the section drag by ten percent. Figures 11 and 12 show the fin al section shape and the velocity distribution at design incidence.

Figure 16 displays the calculated lift, drag, and

pitchirig moment characteristics of the designed airfoil

at the design. Reynolds number of one million. The computer

program used is applicable to the analysis of fully attached flow only (Ref. 14). At angles-of-attack above four degrees, turbulent separation is predicted on the upper surface while at angles below zero degrees, laminar separation occurs at the lower surface leading edge

without subsequent reattachment. Since the performance in these regions could not be calculated, the dotted

lines on the figure roughly indicate the expected trends. The skin friction drag remains roughly constant

throughout the angle-of-attack range for attached flow,

contributing roughly 2/3 of the drag at the design incidence. The maximum section lift to drag ratio, which occurs

at a lift coefficient of 1.2, is over 180. This value is higher than that achieved at a Reynolds number of one million by sections designed in the earlier empirical manner and most modern sections as weIl, such as those designed by Wortmann for a similar performance objective and similar operating conditions, described in Reference 15. However, the off-design performance is inferior to

(32)

that of many' sectlons of the same thickness, such as those of Wortmann. Thes'e resul ts are a reflection of the design priorities, since the performance objective, a high lift te drag ratio, was emphasized while minimal consideration was given to off-design performance. However, even in light of these priorities, the airfoil's performance is not entirely as desired.

The problem is that the airfoil begins to stal1 at an angle-of-attack only 1.5 degrees above the design incidence. The highe st lift to drag ratio experimentally verified

knowledge) is about 220, achieved by the 1iebeck high-lift airfoil, 11003, shown in figures 4(a) and 5 (Ref. 2). This value occurs at the maximum lift coefficient, i.e. just prior to the onset of stall. At the design incidence, roughly four degrees lower, a lift to drag ratio of 180 is obtained. Therefore, no advance can be claimed until either a lift to drag ratio greater than 220 is achieved or a somewhat lower value is obtained with an increased margin from stall. An example of the latter would be an airfoil which has a lift to drag ratio of 180 at an angle-of-attack more than four degrees below the value at which stall cemmences.

As shown in Figures 4(a) and 13, the shape factor in the recovery region of the designed airfoil is roughly

(33)

1.8 at the design incidence whereas on the Liebeck airfoi1 it is about 2.2. Thus it might be expected that the designed airfoi1 wou1d have an increased margin from sta11. However,

while the Liebeck airfoil can tolerate an increase in

angle-of-attack of four degrees, the flow separates on

the designed section on1y 1.5 degrees above the design incidence. Clear1y this separation is not caused simply by the pressure gradient in the recovery region. Rather it is caused by a shift in the upper surface transition point forwards from the recovery point, resulting in a thicker boundary 1ayer which cannot withstand such steep pressure recovery. The transition point moves from x/c=O.69

at the design incidence,a=3.5°, to-x/c=o.63 at~=4°, where

a consequent drag rise is seen (Fig. 16), to x/c=O.53 at ct=5°, where separation first occurs.

Figure 17 shows that an increase in the section incidence

above 3.50 resu1ts in an increased negative velocity

gradient in the laminar region of the velocity distribution. Hence the 1aminar boundary 1ayer thickens more quickly

and is prematurely destabilized, causing transition prior

to the recovery point. At angles-of-attack below 30 , the

velocity gradient is reduced so the boundary layer does not transition prior to the recovery point. Thus a laminar separation bubble is formed when the laminar boundary

1ayer is exposed to the steep initial pressure gradient

(34)

in the recovery region. Accurately calculating the effect of this bubble, which results from laminar separation and subsequent reattachment, is beyond the capabilities of the computer program used so the results shown in Figure 16 include only a rough approximation.

In order to restriet the movement of the transition point with changes in angle-of-attack, the destabilization of the laminar boundary layer must be accomplished over a much shorter region. For example, at its design

incidence, the Liebeck airfoil has a positive velocity gradient until just short of the recovery point, where a transition ramp with a negative velocity gradient is used to provoke transition (Fig. 18). As the angle-of-attack is increased, the positive velocity gradient is reduced but not sufficiently to cause transition prior to the transition ramp. At lower angles-of-attack, the transition ramp is steep enough to ensure that transition occurs before the recovery point, thereby avoiding a laminar separation bubble. Thus the location of the transition

point is confined to the transition ramp for a wide range

of angles-of-attack.

At low Reynolds numbers, such as one-million, the

laminar boundary layer is difficult to destabilize. Hence a substantial negative velocity gradient is required to provoke transition within a sufficiently short distance.

(35)

A 1engthy transition ramp does not fu1fi1 its purpose, which is to minimize the movement of the transition point with changes in ang1e-of-attack. However, the negative

velocity gradient needed for a short ramp cou1d cause the

1aminar boundary 1ayer to separate.

The inverse 1aminar boundary 1ayer equations must be solved to determine the velocity distribution for the transition ramp which resu1ts in a given shape factor

variation. Reference 9 gives the fo110wing simp1ified

solution: u -u,y:; (1-H/2.55) C(~)

0.94

c (4.1)

and the subscript ( )0 denotes a va1ue at the start of the ramp.

Laminar separation is predicted when the shape factor

reaches a va1ue of

3.5.

Thus the steepest possible ramp

without separation has a constant shape factor with a

value slightly under

3.5,

analogous to a pressure recovery

region which is on the verge of separation throughout.

Substituting a shape factor of

3.5

into equation 4.1 gives:

u = uoo

(U/U~)o

(x/c)-0.40 (x/c).-0.40 o 27 (4.2)

(36)

A lower value of H must be chosen at the design incidence so that laminar separation is avoided over a range of angles-of-attack. A more practical value such as 3.2 results in: u uD<; = (x/c)-O.27 o (x/c)-O.27 (4.3)

From equation 4.1, the negative velocity gradient for a given shape factor greater than 2.55 is reduced for a tiansition ramp which is located towards the aft end of the airfoil section. Since it is difficult to destabilize a laminar boundary 1ayer at low Reynolds numbers, the combination of a low Reynolds number and a late recovery point therefore causes an excessively long ramp to be required to provo~e transition if laminar separation is to be avoided.

Under these circumstances it may be desirabIe to fix the transition point through the use of a controlled

laminar separation bubble as in Figure 4(b). The transition ramp required required to cause a small bubble can be

determined by substituting a value of H slightly above 3.5 into equation 4.1. The exact value of H at the design point again depends on the range of angles-of-attack at which transition must be provoked. While this approach

(37)

changes in angle-of-attack, the laminar separation bubble can be detrimental to performance if it becomes too large. Also the bubble cannot be allowed to burst at high

angles-of-attack before turbulent separation has begun in the

recovery region.

By restricting the movement of the upper surface

transition point, the performance of the designed airfoil at angles-of-attack above the design value could be

greatly improved upon, with a small sacrifice in the

performance at the design incidence. At angles below 0°, the performance could be somewhat ameliorated through an

improved design of the nose region. This .is required to

reduce the velocity spike at the lower surface leading edge, which causes laminar separation. As a consequence of the low design Reynolds number, the boundary layer does not subsequently reattach, resulting in a rapid drag rise at angles-of-attack below 0°.

The drag coefficient is calculated by the Squire-Young

formula (Ref. 19):

Hte+5

2

Cd

=

2(9/c)te(u/u~)te (4.4)

This equation reveals the significance of the boundary layer development, particularly in the pressure recovery region, where the boundary layer grows most rapidly.

(38)

Figure 14 displays the deve10pment of the momentum

thickness on the designed section at the design incidence. The 1inear rise of the momentum thickness in the recovery region is characteristic of a velocity distribution with a constant shape factor in this region. The difference in the rate of increase of the momentum thickness between the 1aminar and turbulent portions on both surfaces shows the importance of de1aying transition. The large increase in the momentum thickness at the trai1ing edge of the upper surface, which is associated with a rise in the shape factor (Fig. 13), is a re sult of the fact that the trailing edge velocity is lower than the design value. This has virtually no effect on the drag coefficient because the lower velocity, which is raised to a power of roughly 3.5 in the drag expression, compensates for the increased momentum thickness at the trailing edge .

. For a given shape factor variation in the recovery region, an increase in the design trailing edge velocity results in higher velocities on the entire upper surface and thus an increase in lift coefficient (Ref. 12). In Reference 16 it is shown that the contribution of the upper surface to the lift coefficient varies roughly linearly with the trailing edge velocity for a specified form of the upper surface velocity distribution. The upper surface contribution to the drag coefficient also

(39)

rises with. an increase in the trailing edge velocity as

s'hown by equation 4.4. Therefore there exists a value of

the trailing edge velocity which maximizes the upper surface contribution to the lift to drag ratio. However,

the increase in the velocities on the upper surface

associated with a rise in the trailing edge velocity causes a reduction in the lower surface velocities for a given thickness form, thus improving the section lift to drag ratio. Hence the optimum value of the trailing edge velocity can only be determined through a parametric study in which a family of sections is designed, similar to that used to find the optimum recovery point location. The range of possible values is limited, however, especially since the shape of the upper surface of the airfoil near the trailing edge is determined by the nature of the pressure recovery.

The lower surface velocity distribution displays the desired characteristics at the design incidence (Fig. 12). The velocity increases until x/c=O.89, where boundary layer transition occurs. The section lift coefficient could be improved by decreasing the airfoil thickness

aft of the location of maximum thickness, which is

x/c=O.45.

This reduces the velocity on the aft portion of th.e lower surface , causing earlier transition. At the design Reynolds number, the resulting increase in drag was found to offset

(40)

the increase in lift.

Increasing the Reynolds number beyond the design value of one million has two contradictory effects. The transition point moves forwards but the skin friction drag is reduced 50 the lift to drag ratio at the design 1ncidence is slightly increased. At a Reynolds number of ten million, the lift to drag ratio is 192, although the upper surface transition point is located at x/c=0.38, compared to 183 at the design Reynolds number. At lower Reynolds numbers, the transition point does not move aft of x/c=0.7, since transition occurs by laminar separation and reattachment when the laminar boundary layer is

exposed to the adverse pressure gradient at the start of the recovery region. Therefore the increased rate of growth of the boundary layer associated with a decrease in the Reynolds number causes higher drag and eventually flow separation, which is predicted at a Reynolds number of 5 X 10 5 .

An extended transition ramp can be used to reduce the sensitivity of a section to changes in Reynolds number.

Ir

transition occurs midway along the ramp at the design

Reynolds number, then the effect of changes in Reynolds number on the boundary layer development are offset by the movement of the transition point along the ramp. On the designed section, the laminar boundary lay€r is

(41)

destaqilized over a very long region. However, transition occurs just prior to the pressure recovery region at the design incidence. Therefore this section is insensitive to increases in Reynolds number but very sensitive to decreases.

At the design Reynolds number, a forward shift in the upper surface transition point results in a thicker boundary layer at the recovery point and thus flow separation in

the pressure recovery region. Therefore this section requires a smooth surface and cannot tolerate high free-stream turbulence levels, reflecting the initial assumptions of the design study. On general aviation airplanes, the

type of wing construction of ten eliminates the possibility of extended regions of laminar flow. For such applications a similar design procedure can be used with a constant velocity on the upper surface prior to pressure recovery, assuming that transition occurs near the leading edge regardless of the velocity gradient. As a consequence of the resulting increased thickness of the boundary layer at the recovery point, pressure recovery must be more gradual to achieve a given shape factor variation. Thus the performance of a section with a rough surface is greatly reduced. For the lower surface, an aft portion of reduced thickness, as discussed previously, is

(42)

At high design Reynolds numbers, a substantial

positive velocity gradient is required to avoid transition.

Hence, for a given shape factor variation in the recovery

region, the recovery point location which maximizes the

lift to drag ratio moves forward as the Reynolds number

increases. An increase in the design Reynolds number has

a beneficial effect on the boundary layer development and a detrimental errect on the stability of the laminar boundary layer. Since the former effect has a greater influence, the section lift to drag ratio which can be achieved with given orr-design performance improves with increasing design Reynolds number.

(43)

5."Conclusîons

The designed airfoil section is a reflection of the design priorities which were initially established. At the design Reynolds number, the section achieves a high lift to drag ratio at the expense of the off-design performance. The flow separation at the lower surface

leading edge at a relatively high positive lift coefficient can be attributed to the design emphasis. However, the

separation of the flow on the upper surface is premature even in light of the design priorities. The value of the shape factor chosen for the pressure recovery region at the design incidence was expected to allow a substantial increase in angle-of-attack without separation. Early separation is caused by a forward shift in the location of transition, revealing the need for a short transition ramp to restrict the movement of the transition point.

The importance of an appropriate recovery point location in achieving high lift to drag ratios at low Reynolds

numbers is shown by comparing the performance of the

designed section with that of the Liebeck section, LI003. Since the Liebeck section was designed for high lift, it has a much earlier recovery point than the designed section

(44)

the two sections exhibit approximately the same lift to drag ratio Brit the designed airfoil has a considerably

lower shape factor in the pressure recovery region. Hence

it displays superior performance at reduced Reynolds numbers. In addition, if the transition point were adequately fixed, the designed section would have a larger margin from stall and a higher maximum lift to drag ratio, since this is obtained just prior to the

onset of stal 1 if the shape factor in the recovery region is constant.

The use of the inverse turbulent boundary layer equations rather than the Stratford distribution has

several advantages, including the ease with which desired stall characteristics can be achieved. The shape factor is an ideal link between the desired boundary layer characteristics and the velocity distribution as it quantifies the local proximity of both laminar and

turbulent boundary layers to separation. Because of their simplicity, empirical criteria for boundary layer transition and separation are weIl suited to the inverse design

approach. A simple transition criterion which accounts for the effects of surface roughness and free-stream turbulence would be helpful.

The use of a thickness distribution to determine an initial lower surface velocity distribution led to a

(45)

favourahle final distribution. A more sophisticated approach is required, however, to achieve an optimal rorm for the lower surface, particularly at low lift coefficients.

In addition, an analysis technique capable of handling separated flows is needed to properly assess off-design performance.

The basic design procedure described can be utilized for the design of airfoil sections for many different

applications with various performance objectives, operating conditions, and practical constraints. The inverse design approach is extremely powerful, leading to high performance airfoils which are not likely to be obtained by empirical methods. As i t begins with a set of boundary layer

characteristics, the inverse approach allows the design priorities to be readily incorporated into the design. The effect of different priorities can thus be easily studied.

Several guidelines can be established for the design of airfoils with high lift to drag ratios using an inverse approach:

1. A constant shape factor variation in the pressure recovery reg ion leads to high performance but a sudden stall break. A more gradual stall break can be achieved by increasing the shape factor towards the trailing edge.

(46)

2. A high. value of' the shape factor results in a high

lift to drag ratio at the design incidence but limited

performance at increased angles-of-attack and reduced Reynolds numbers.

3. A short transition ramp leads to good performance

at off-design angles-of-attack while a longer ramp reduces

the sensitivity .of a section to changes in Reynolds number.

4.

Optimum values of the recovery point and the trailing

edge velocity depend upon the operating conditions,

particularly the Reynolds number, and must be determined through a study which accounts for the effect of these parameters on the velocities on both surfaces.

Using these guidelines, an airfoil can be designed to produce a high lift to drag ratio while achieving the required off-design performance for a wide range of operating conditions and practical constraints.
