Summary

• Grid convergence study¯ SST lower lift than SA (likely flap separation)

¯ Struct. Grid and unst. Grid results with same turbulence model compare well

¯ At higher alpha more difference between codes and more variation with grid refinement

• Flap study(medium grid)¯ Grid density/topology matters at highest AOA

One-to-one structured grid B seems to predict early stall

SOLAR grid results improved correlation at high AOA

¯ Config. 1 has more flap separation than Config. 8

¯ SST predicts more flap separation than SA

¯ FUN3D predicts wing separation at highest AOA for Config. 8 (not seen in CFL3D solutions)
