Flow around a wing construction at different angles of attack

Flow around a wing construction with different angles of attack: 4.5, 13.5 and 22.5 degrees. For the chosen medium Reynolds number - despite the steady inflow profile - the flow gets fully nonsteady. The corresponding coarse mesh (after two refinements) for all calculations is plotted in the following diagram. For a detailed description of the performed flow configurations look at the corresponding pages in the `Virtual Album'.
