Hybrid RANS/LES simulations of the flow around the NASA Common Research Model aircraft configuration were carried out with the focus on understanding the interaction of the separated wake with the tailplane in the presence of massively separated flow on the main wing. Validation of the CFD data using PIV data obtained for the flow conditions at α = 16◦, α = 18◦ and α = 20◦ was carried out, confirming the generally satisfactory performance of the DDES simulations observed in earlier publications. As a next step, the wake characteristics and tailplane forces were evaluated for three angles of attack in order to investigate the flow dynamics in low speed stall. The separation characteristics were found to vary over the span. The wake size and downwash direction varied significantly with higher values of α. The altered wing downwash influenced the tailplane inflow, with the load fluctuations on the latter being significantly affected by the amount of turbulent kinetic energy present in the wake.
