Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study of the influence of 2d leading-edge geometry on behavior of separation bubbles. The measurements on a nose of enlarged blade were conducted on a special large-scale experimental facility, the pressure distribution and flowfield of flow were measured. The test model used in this study consists of circular leading edge and elliptic leading edge. Results are presented for a range of incidence. The measurement result indicated that the leading edge shape has a large influence on flow details, separation and transition as well as the boundary layer properties after reattached point. The wedge angle appears to be an important role in leading edge geometry parameters.
