on the upper surface, a much larger shock character in the 60-70% ch<strong>or</strong>d region is evident f<strong>or</strong> the<br />

tip-launcher case. However, there is not much <strong>of</strong> a shift in the shock location.<br />

Upon examining Figure 6-51 and animating the Cp f<strong>or</strong> all iterations on the upper surface, a<br />

rapid suction build-up with increasing AOA is revealed at the 50-70% ch<strong>or</strong>d location. As AOA<br />

decreases, there is a rapid loss <strong>of</strong> suction which progresses from the aft p<strong>or</strong>tion <strong>of</strong> the wing<br />

f<strong>or</strong>ward. The motion <strong>of</strong> this loss resembles that <strong>of</strong> a double hinged do<strong>or</strong> slamming shut; the first<br />

near 70% ch<strong>or</strong>d and the second near 60% ch<strong>or</strong>d. This is an indication <strong>of</strong> the hysteresis behavi<strong>or</strong><br />

in the shock structure. The character <strong>of</strong> this motion is the same at this particular BL location f<strong>or</strong><br />

both cases, with the magnitudes <strong>of</strong> the overall Cp f<strong>or</strong> the wing-only case larger f<strong>or</strong> the upper<br />

surface and smaller f<strong>or</strong> the lower surface. Looking at inboard BL locations in the shock<br />

separation region f<strong>or</strong> the aircraft case and comparing the Cp at the same location f<strong>or</strong> the wing-<br />

only, the same oscillat<strong>or</strong>y behavi<strong>or</strong> is not evident in the shock attributed to the separation. F<strong>or</strong><br />

the future purposes <strong>of</strong> this FSR w<strong>or</strong>k using prescribed motion, the lack <strong>of</strong> inboard shock<br />

separation should not be a problem when considering the flow at the outboard locations <strong>of</strong> the<br />

wing, such as BL159. However, when the time comes to examine LCO with a coupled, FSI code,<br />

modeling <strong>of</strong> the entire aircraft may be necessary to determine the imp<strong>or</strong>tance <strong>of</strong> the presence <strong>of</strong><br />

the strake v<strong>or</strong>tex.<br />

Lissajous Analysis<br />

Figure 6-52 shows the set <strong>of</strong> Lissajous plots (-Cp vs. local displacement from the upper<br />

surface <strong>of</strong> the airfoil at various ch<strong>or</strong>d vs. span locations) f<strong>or</strong> one cycle <strong>of</strong> rolling 8 Hz ±0.5°<br />

oscillation. A low pass filter is applied to the data at 100 Hz to filter out the noise due to<br />

turbulence effects. The top <strong>of</strong> the figure is the tip launcher, the bottom the wing root; and the left<br />

side is the LE and the right side the TE <strong>of</strong> the wing. The red circles indicate the starting point <strong>of</strong><br />

the roll cycle, and the black arrows indicate the direction <strong>of</strong> rotation <strong>of</strong> the Lissajous.<br />
