... For numerical results, we plot both LES results and Navier-Stokes stationary calculation with K-£ model and the same mesh as the one used for LES calculation. The agreement seems to be quite good, especially for the area close to the leading edge and flow velocity of 1 1 m/s.
From page 305...
... Near the leading edge, we first notice a laminar attached flow with some lines of axial vorticity. Then, several spots of higher vorticity appear along chord and span.
From page 306...
... Then the flow re-attaches and after the closure of the bubble we observe spots of high intensity of transverse vorticity which indicate the location of vortex. On the photograph corresponding to axial vorticity, we also notice, in front of the leading edge detachment, the presence of several lines of higher intensity regularly spaced in span.

... , a little separation bubble near the leading edge then a reattachment of the boundary layer and spots of vorticity along the chord. Numerical pressure signal comparison: Let us go through the time dependent description of the flow for different given control points.
From page 308...
... For BA foil at 7 degrees, the velocity map and flow vorticity both indicate the presence of a separation bubble near the leading edge. So, figure 17 shows the fluctuating pressure at three control points (x/c=0.03; x/c=0.07 and x/c=0.14.
From page 309...
... With LES calculation, we are able to know the exact low frequency level. Then, since the model, at the moment, filters to early, we can use this low frequency model to calibrate empirical models.
From page 310...
... BA foil at 7 degrees; figure 22) photographs show sheet cavitation related to separation bubble which was observed on numerical photographs and with numerical pressure fluctuation versus time.
From page 311...
... The accuracy of the numerical model applied to real flows (with adverse pressure gradient) is better than that of empirical models for the prediction of pressure fluctuation spectrum.
