Abstract
The paper presents 2D Fluid-Body Interaction (FBI) simulations of CoFlow Jet (CFJ) deflected slipstream airfoil for transition flight from hover to cruise. It includes comprehensive numerical simulations, introducing a transient scaling law to understand and predict the unsteady transition dynamics. The FBI procedure incorporates a high-fidelity structured grid CFD solver, automated mesh generation, and a 6-degree freedom body motion solver in a strongly coupled manner to accurately control and resolve the hover transition maneuver. This research demonstrates the potential to achieve a high-fidelity virtual flight testing system to improve hover transition reliability, safety, efficiency, safety, and noise reduction, which are crucial for advanced air mobility (AAM) technology development.
