occurring at harmonics, and assumes a periodic response. The wavelet plot in C) reveals non-<br />

periodic features that are not seen in the FFT. The blue region at time=0.21 sec c<strong>or</strong>responds to<br />

the wide peak region and consists <strong>of</strong> a range <strong>of</strong> frequencies, whereas the green region at time=0.3<br />

sec c<strong>or</strong>responds to the narrow trough region and consists <strong>of</strong> one, clear frequency.<br />

Flow Visualization<br />

Wing-Only Pitch Oscillations<br />

In <strong>or</strong>der to examine the effect <strong>of</strong> the fuselage, the next step in the FSR approach is to<br />

perf<strong>or</strong>m f<strong>or</strong>ced, rigid body pitch oscillation f<strong>or</strong> a refined F-16 wing-only Wing1 with LE edge<br />

antenna and tip launcher. Motion is prescribed f<strong>or</strong> 8Hz±0.5° rigid-body pitch oscillation at the<br />

same flow conditions (αi=1.34°, Mach=0.9, altitude=5k feet) with the same turbulence model<br />

(DDES-SARC) as the tip-launcher aircraft Grid8 f<strong>or</strong> direct comparison.<br />

Figure 6-49 and Figure 6-50 illustrate images visualizing the flow computed on the left<br />

wing (looking aft-f<strong>or</strong>ward) at the upward stroke (between pitch angles <strong>of</strong> 135° and 180°) <strong>of</strong> the<br />

8Hz ±0.5° sinusoidal pitching cycle. These images depict the instantaneous Mach = 1 boundary<br />

(Figure 6-49) and v<strong>or</strong>ticity magnitude=50 (Figure 6-50) iso-surfaces with the aircraft surface<br />

col<strong>or</strong>ed by pressure. The AOA is shown as a function <strong>of</strong> time in the upper half in each set <strong>of</strong><br />

images. Additionally, BL159 is indicated along the LE <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> the images f<strong>or</strong> reference<br />

purposes. The left set <strong>of</strong> images in display the Wing1 wing-only case results f<strong>or</strong> the upper<br />

surface in A) and lower surface in B), and the Grid8 aircraft comparisons are presented on the<br />

right f<strong>or</strong> the upper surface in C) and lower surface in D).<br />

In Figure 6-49 A), it is seen that the Mach=1 boundary iso-surface is much larger f<strong>or</strong> the<br />

wing-only case than f<strong>or</strong> the aircraft case in C). The small secondary shock aft <strong>of</strong> the primary<br />

shock near the tip launcher due to the tip launcher notch is still seen but it is smaller than it is<br />

with the aircraft in C). The most interesting difference between the wing-only and aircraft cases<br />
