Investigation of the F117A Vortical Flow Characteristics Preliminary Results

The investigation of the vortical flow around the F117A Stealth Fighter is presented in order to demonstrate the capability to resolve leading edge vortices with an adaptive finite element solver for the Euler equations. The major goal is to capture vortex breakdown at high angles of attack. This...
