Boundary layer parameters extraction in ADFlow

[luigimanni]

Dear all,

I have performed a CFD analysis on a 2D airfoil on ADflow, and I now need to perform an aeroacoustic evaluation of the airfoil using a Trailing Edge Noise (TEN) code.

The inputs of the TEN code are the following boundary layer parameters, extracted text to the trailing edge:

• BL thickness (99%)
• BL displacement thickness
• BL momentum thickness
• Momentum thickness Reynolds number

Can anyone suggest me how to extract these properties from the simulation on ADFLOW?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, I met the same problem as yours. Have you find ways how to extract boundary layer parameters?

As shown in the figures below, you can trace a line along the pyHyp grid. Note that this is a mesh-dependent procedure that inherently depends on the thin-shear layer definitions for the boundary layer related to the surface's curvature.
