Abstract

Taking Large aerobus′ wing as the based wing,A detailed analysis of aerodynamic characteristic of the wing with control surfaces on trailing edge of winglets by numerical method based on N-S equations in this paper. The results show that winglets control surfaces deflection alter the configuration aerodynamics significantly. On one hand,control surfaces deflection results in reduction of the maximum lift-to-drag ratio,but it can optimize the lift-to-drag ratio of different phases of flight. In detail,control surfaces deflect outboard making the lift coefficient increased obviously but the drag coefficient of the wing did not increased much,It is good for increasing the aircraft′s take off/climb performances. The wing with no deflection can reach maximum lift-to-drag ratio,it is good for increasing the aircraft′s cruise efficiency. And deflect inboard making the aircraft′s drag increased rapidly,it is good for increasing landing performance. On the other hand,thought control surfaces deflecting,it can control the development of wingtip vortex. In addition to the increased viscous dissipation of vortices,it has the potential to crease conditions conducive to the excitation of the naturally instabilities to accelerate the dissipation.
