After the ribs are finished, everything else will go pretty fast. I've still been working on the buffet loads predictions on the Hawker Horizon business jet. I recently got better comparisons with wind tunnel data by computing the wing bend of the wind tunnel model, and putting that bend into the computational model. It really helped get better answers. Next, I need to improve the turbulence models.
Turbulence models affect the way the flow behaves at very small scales.
Details of how the flow interacts with the surface of the wing can be affected. The turbulence model I have now is an old one, and there are much better ones now. So I hope when I get the new one, my results should be very close to the experiments. I ask because I am interested in how researchers share data and techniques. Raytheon Aircraft Co. I'm using the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model, which is quite old.
