ATLAS-V Design
For the first phase of the CFD analysis the 2D Biplane arrangement with g=1, st=0.3 and
decalage=-3o with the S1210 airfoil was tested. The analysis was held with S-A and SST k-
models using Fluent for the Reynolds number of 200k while the mesh was constructed using
Gambit. The forces on the biplane airfoils were investigated for angles ranging from 0 to 14o
with a step of 2o .
In the next pages there is a brief report consisting mainly of plots and screenshots of the
data. The following are included:
Coefficient plots of pressure, lift, drag and moment.
Qualitative data of the static pressure, velocity field, turbulent kinetic energy, velocity
profile of BL and the pre-stall characteristics.
The purpose of this analysis was to validate that the arrangement is efficient and to provide
more accurate results to account for viscous effects. The results were promising (high clmax ,
relatively low cd and cm for the operational angles and high stall angle) and the arrangement
is considered fixed.
