Background
What is Dynamic Stall? Experimental and CFD work on DS The majority of the work performed on DS (experimental and CFD) has been done on 2-D Most CFD has been done for code validation rather than investigation of the flow physics. 2D CFD suggested that turbulence modelling is a key issue if fidelity is required Missing: 3D, centrifugal effects, dM/dt, interaction with wake
Summary of experiments
Most experiments on DS are 2D 3D work has been done by the following:
CFD solver
PMB solver of the Univ. of Glasgow Control volume method Parallel (distributed memory) Multi-block (complex geometry) structured grids Moving grids Unsteady RANS - Variety of turbulence models LES Implicit time marching Osher's and Roe's schemes for convective fluxes MUSCL scheme for effectively 3rd order accuracy Central differences for viscous fluxes Conjugate gradient linear solver with pre-conditioning Validation database www.aero.gla.ac.uk/Research/CFD/validation

Conclusions
Experimentalists like CFD pictures! Are keen to collaborate and look in their databases for measurements They developed the ability to understand much about the flow from a small number of measurements They are getting used to the idea of CFD or at least looking at CFD results
Conclusions
CFD developers are always looking for good data and have many requirements Have sometimes to make a first step Have to be open about any limitations of their methods Perform simulations, validation, comparisons and maybe some analysis!
