The

1st AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop (HiLiftPW-1)

Sponsored by the Applied Aerodynamics Technical Committee

2-Day Workshop June 26-27 2010, Chicago, IL
(Associated with the 28th AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Conference)

Objectives

• Assess the numerical prediction capability (mesh, numerics, turbulence modeling, high-performance computing requirements, etc.) of current-generation CFD technology/codes for swept, medium/high-aspect ratio wings in landing/take-off (high-lift) configurations.
• Develop practical modeling guidelines for CFD prediction of high-lift flowfields.
• Advance the understanding of high-lift flow physics to enable development of more accurate prediction methods and tools.
• Enhance CFD prediction capability for practical high-lift aerodynamic design and optimization.
• Provide an impartial forum for evaluating the effectiveness of existing computer codes and modeling techniques.
• Identify areas needing additional research and development.
  

Focus

• The focus of this workshop will be on multi-element high-lift swept wing force, moment, and surface pressure prediction accuracy; a priori experimental data will be available for comparison.
• The NASA "Trap Wing" model will be studied.
• A statistical framework will be used to assess the CFD results.

General Information

• This workshop is open to participants worldwide. Efforts will be made to ensure representation from all areas of industry, academia and government laboratories.
• Participation in the high lift studies is not required to attend the workshop. Everyone is welcome!
• Open forums will be included in the workshop to discuss the solutions and modeling techniques.
• Results will be made available after the workshop in a report and on the HiLiftPW website.
• A nominal registration fee will be required for attendance.
• AIAA membership is not required.

Tentative Dates

¹You must send in an abstract if you plan to submit data and present results at the workshop. The abstract should be no more than 1 page long, and should contain at least the following information: name(s), affiliation(s), corresponding author contact information (mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address), brief description of solver code(s), name of supplied grid(s) being used and/or brief description of other grid(s) being used, and whether the optional case 3 is being computed. Please e-mail to: hiliftpw@gmail.com. See sampleabstract.pdf for a sample 1-page abstract.

²Workshop participants are expected to give presentations of their results. These are not official AIAA-type presentations, and there are no written papers associated with this workshop. However, some participants will be invited to write and present a paper for a special session on high lift prediction to be held during a future AIAA conference.
