基于RBF插值技术的CFD/CSD非线性耦合分析方法研究

基于非结构混合网格的N-S方程求解器和结构柔度影响系数法,发展了一种考虑气动、结构非线性的基于RBF插值技术CFD/CSD耦合分析方法,适用于解决现代大展弦比飞机的非线性静气动弹性问题。该方法采用时间相关法(即求解非定常方程组,用长时间的渐近解趋于定常状态)求解静气弹分析时的定常流动。考虑大展弦比飞机结构变形问题为大变形小应力问题,在利用柔度系数法求解结构方程时,假设每次求解结构方程时应力与应变为线性关系,整体静气弹分析过程为非线性关系,因此每次求解结构方程时要更新柔度影响系数矩阵。在非定常N-S方程每求解一个时间步耦合一次结构有限元分析,由于结构有限元分析的时间相对于气动分析时间是很短的,所以这种方法实际上近似使用了一次求解非定常气动力的时间完成了整个静气动弹性分析的过程。对于气动网格与结构有限元网格不一致性,本文采用径向基函数(RBF)插值方法中的TPS方法进行结构弹性变形和气动载荷插值,采用虚功原理完成气动载荷数据交换。为了节省气弹分析时间,采用动网格方法对气动网格进行更新,本文基于RBF插值方法发展一种适用于混合网格(四面体、三棱柱、金字塔和六面体)变形的动网格方法,可以保证附面层网格的质量与分布从而准确模拟其流动。利用该方法对M6机翼、DLR-F6翼身组合体和某大型客机机翼进行了静气动弹性特性分析,结果验证了本文开发的非线性CFD/CSD耦合分析方法的可行性、精确性和高效性。

FINITE ANALYTIC NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

The finite analytic method is used in the present study to calculate the turbulent flow field described with Navier-Stokes equation in body-fitted curvilinear coordinate system The finite analytic method invokes the analytic solution of governing partial differential equation in formulating the algebraic equation that relates a nodal value in an element to its neighbour nodal values according to the direction and the magnitude of convection.

The k ? ε turbulence model and wall function are employed in. the present study. The agreement of numerical solution with experiment result is quite good.     

Finite element solution of an enclosed turbulent diffusion flame

A finite element formulation of enclosed turbulent diffusion flames is presented. A primitive variables approach is preferred in the analysis. A mixed interpolation is employed for the velocity and pressure. In the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, a segregated formulation is adopted, where the pressure discretization equation is obtained directly from the discretized continuity equation, considering the velocity-pressure relationships in the discretized momentum equations. The state of turbulence is defined by a κ–? model. Near solid boundaries, a wall function approach is employed. The combustion rates are estimated using the eddy dissipation concept. The expensive direct treatment of the integrodifferential equations of radiation is avoided by employing the moment method, which allows the derivation of an approximate local field equation for the radiation intensity. The proposed finite element model is verified by investigating a technical turbulent diffusion flame of semi-industrial size, and comparing the results with experiments and finite difference predictions.     

Three-dimensional finite element simulations of ferroelectric polycrystals under electrical and mechanical loading

Complex, non-linear, irreversible, hysteretic behavior of polycrystalline ferroelectric materials under a combined electro-mechanical loading is a result of domain wall motion, causing simultaneous expansion and contraction of unlike domains, grain sub-divisions that have distinct spontaneous polarization and strain. In this paper, a 3-dimensional finite element method is used to simulate such a polycrystalline ferroelectric under electrical and mechanical loading. A constitutive law due to Huber et al. [1999. A constitutive model for ferroelectric polycrystals. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 47, 1663-1697] for switching by domain wall motion in multidomain ferroelectric single crystals is employed in our model to represent each grain, and the finite element method is used to solve the governing conditions of mechanical equilibrium and Gauss's law. The results provide the average behavior for the polycrystalline ceramic. We compare the outcomes predicted by this model with the available experimental data for various electromechanical loading conditions. The qualitative features of ferroelectric switching are predicted well, including hysteresis and butterfly loops, the effect on them of mechanical compression, and the response of the polycrystal to non-proportional electrical loading.     

Simulation of liquid sloshing in curved‐wall containers with arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method

There are many challenges in the numerical simulation of liquid sloshing in horizontal cylinders and spherical containers using the finite element method of arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation: tracking the motion of the free surface with the contact points, defining the mesh velocity on the curved wall boundary and updating the computational mesh. In order to keep the contact points slipping along the curved side wall, the shape vector in each time advancement is defined to modify the kinematical boundary conditions on the free surface. A special function is introduced to automatically smooth the nodal velocities on the curved wall boundary based on the liquid nodal velocities. The elliptic partial differential equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions can directly rezone the inner nodal velocities in more than a single freedom. The incremental fractional step method is introduced to solve the finite element liquid equations. The numerical results that stemmed from the algorithm show good agreement with experimental phenomena, which demonstrates that the ALE method provides an efficient computing scheme in moving curved wall boundaries. This method can be extended to 3D cases by improving the technique to compute the shape vector. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Conjugate Phase Change Heat Transfer in an Inclined Compound Cavity Partially Filled with a Porous Medium: A Deformed Mesh Approach

In this paper, the melting process of a PCM inside an inclined compound enclosure partially filled with a porous medium is theoretically addressed using a novel deformed mesh method. The sub-domain area of the compound enclosure is made of a porous layer and clear region. The right wall of the enclosure is adjacent to the clear region and is subject to a constant temperature of T_c. The left wall, which is connected to the porous layer, is thick and thermally conductive. The thick wall is partially subject to the hot temperature of T_h. The remaining borders of the enclosure are well insulated. The governing equations for flow and heat transfer, including the phase change effects and conjugate heat transfer at the thick wall, are introduced and transformed into a non-dimensional form. A deformed grid method is utilized to track the phase change front in the solid and liquid regions. The melting front movement is controlled by the Stefan condition. The finite element method, along with Arbitrary Eulerian–Lagrangian (ALE) moving grid technique, is employed to solve the non-dimensional governing equations. The modeling approach and the accuracy of the utilized numerical approach are verified by comparison of the results with several experimental and numerical studies, available in the literature. The effect of conjugate wall thickness, inclination angle, and the porous layer thickness on the phase change heat transfer of PCM is investigated. The outcomes show that the rates of melting and heat transfer are enhanced as the thickness of the porous layer increases. The melting rate is the highest when the inclination angle of the enclosure is 45°. An increase in the wall thickness improves the melting rate.

     

CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER FROM A CIRCULAR CYLINDER UNDER THE EFFECT OF A SOLID PLANE WALL

The purpose of this investigation is to study the convective heat transfer from a horizontal circular cylinder under the effect of a solid plane wall. The full Navier–Stokes and energy equations for two-dimensi onal steady flow are solved by a finite element method. The variations in surface shear stress, local pressure and Nusselt number around the surface of the cylinder as well as the predicted values of average Nusselt number, location of separation and some flow and temperature fields are presented. It is found that the average Nusselt number and drag force increase as the gap between the cylinder and the wall is increased.

In particular, a detailed explanation for solving the Cahn–Hilliard equation based on a finite element method is given.
