一种激波稳定的对流-压力通量分裂格式

针对欧拉方程三种流行的对流-压力通量分裂方法(Liou-Steffen,Zha-Bilgen和Toro-Vázquez)进行特征分析,进而提出一种新的对流-压力通量分裂格式。采用Zha-Bilgen分裂方法将欧拉方程的通量分裂成对流项和压力项两部分,使用TV格式来计算这两部分的数值通量。利用压力比构造激波探测函数,并且在强激波附近的亚声速区域增加TV格式的剪切粘性来克服数值模拟中的激波不稳定性。数值算例的计算结果表明,新的对流-压力通量分裂格式不仅保留了原始TV格式精确分辨接触间断的优点,而且具有更好的鲁棒性,在数值模拟多维强激波问题时不会出现不稳定现象。因此,该格式是一种精确并且具有强鲁棒性的数值方法,可以广泛地应用于可压缩流体的数值计算中。     

应用于计算气动声学的优化有限紧致格式

对于含间断的计算气动声学问题,数值计算的格式不仅要求低耗散低色散的设计,对短波具有较高的分辨率,还要求能捕捉激波.中心紧致格式具有高精度,具有无耗散和低色散特征,但不能捕捉间断和激波;WENO格式处理间断较为成功,而耗散和色散误差相对较大.有限紧致格式可以将紧致格式与WENO格式相结合构造成混合格式,利用光滑因子之间的关系对激波区域进行自动判断,将传统的全域求解的紧致格式划分为有限的局部紧致求解,间断点上的激波捕捉铜梁自动作为局部紧致求解的边界通量,在在光滑区域具有紧致格式的高精度低耗散性质,在激波附近不产生非物理振荡.本文利用有限紧致格式思想,构造了新的适合于气动声学问题的优化有限紧致格式,将其应用于计算气动声学一维标准测试问题,对相关格式的模拟性能进行了评估,显示该格式在宽频声波传播和含有间断的声波传播模拟方面具有优势.     

一种改进的中心-WENO混合格式

基于中心差分与WENO格式混合可以改善WENO格式耗散特性的思想,在理论推导的基础上,给出了一种用于激波捕捉计算的守恒型中心-WENO混合格式,该混合格式可视为三阶WENO格式和二阶中心差分格式的加权平均。在数值研究现有加权函数的基础上,给出了适用于该混合格式的加权函数,使其能够自适应地调整数值耗散以捕捉激波间断。数值结果表明:与三阶WENO格式相比,混合格式HY3_4能够降低数值耗散,更陡峭地捕捉间断,对复杂流场结构具有较高的分辨率;混合格式HY3_5对于包含高压比激波间断流场结构,能给出无振荡、低耗散的结果。     

基于比拟理论的翼型扰流声场数值模拟

从二维模型方程的全离散形式出发,重点分析了差分格式的色散特性和各向异性效应,证实迎风紧致格式比对称格式有更好的色散和各向同性特性,故有利于声场的数值模拟,并采用三阶迎风紧致格式（ＵＣＤ３）和四阶对称紧致格式（ＳＣＤ４）计算了绕ＮＡＣＡ００１２翼型的可压缩非定常流场,并将此流场作为近场声源,运用声学比拟理论对气动声进行模拟。     

一种健壮的混合Roe黎曼求解器

使用Roe格式计算多维流动问题时,在强激波附近会出现数值激波不稳定现象。带有剪切粘性的HLLEC格式不仅可以捕捉接触间断,而且表现出很好的稳定性。混合Roe格式和HLLEC格式来消除数值激波不稳定性。在强激波附近,通过激波面法向和网格界面法向的夹角来定义开关函数,使得数值通量在激波面横向切换成HLLEC格式。在其余地方,数值通量依然使用Roe格式来计算。数值试验表明,混合格式不仅消除了Roe格式的数值激波不稳定性,还最大程度地减少了HLLEC格式所带来的剪切耗散,保留了Roe格式高分辨率的优点。     

求解可压缩流的二维通量分裂格式

传统的一维通量分裂格式在计算界面数值通量时,只考虑网格界面法向的波系。采用传统的TV格式分别求解对流通量和压力通量。通过求解考虑了横向波系影响的角点数值通量来构造一种真正二维的TV通量分裂格式。在计算一维数值算例时,该格式与传统的TV格式具有相同的数值通量计算公式,因此其保留了传统的TV格式精确捕捉接触间断和膨胀激波的优点。在计算二维算例时,该格式比传统的TV格式具有更高的分辨率;在计算二维强激波问题时,消除了传统TV格式的非物理现象,表现出更好的鲁棒性;此外,该格式大大提高了稳定性CFL数,从而具有更高的计算效率。因此,本文方法是一种精确、高效并且具有强鲁棒性的数值方法,在可压缩流的数值模拟中具有广阔的应用前景。     

数值耗散对压气机流动分离涡模拟的影响研究

分离涡模拟DES是压气机流动模拟中常用的高保真湍流模式。为了使DES准确解析湍流,数值耗散必须限制在合理范围内。然而,当前的压气机流动DES类研究工作中仍然普遍采用高耗散的迎风格式。本文首先基于DES类方法计算的各向同性衰减湍流结果,定量比较了多种不同数值格式的耗散,证实了高耗散迎风格式严重低估中高波数湍流能量。高阶重构格式可以一定程度上改善该问题,但能量耗散仍然过高。本文在高阶重构的基础上,进一步引入自适应耗散函数修改Riemann求解器,构造了自适应耗散格式。该格式在全波数范围都能准确地预测湍流能谱。将该格式配合DES类方法模拟跨声速离心压气机流动,其预测的压比相比于三阶迎风格式,更加接近实验结果。此外,自适应耗散格式显著提高了中小尺度流动结构的分辨率。分析表明,在使用DES类方法模拟压气机流动时,有必要采用数值耗散较低的离散格式,以准确预测压气机总体性能和流动结构。本文构造的自适应耗散格式是一种良好选择。     

加权型紧致格式与加权本质无波动格式的比较

线性紧致格式和加权本质无波动格式是两种典型的高阶精度数值格式,它们各有优缺点.线性紧致格式在具有高阶精度的同时,格式的分辨率也比较高,耗散低,是计算多尺度流场结构的较好格式,但是不能计算具有强激波的流场.加权本质无波动格式是一种高阶精度捕捉激波格式,鲁棒性好,但耗散比较高,分辨率也不理想.近年来,在莱勒的线性紧致格式基础上,采用加权本质无波动格式捕捉激波思想,发展了一系列加权型紧致格式.本文较全面地比较了加权型紧致格式和加权本质无波动格式,包括构造方法、鲁棒性、分辨率、耗散特性、收敛特性以及并行计算效率.结果表明,现有的加权型紧致格式基本保持了加权本质无波动格式的性质,对于气动力等宏观量的计算,比加权本质无波动格式没有明显的优势.

A high‐resolution scheme for compressible multicomponent flows with shock waves

A simple methodology for a high‐resolution scheme to be applied to compressible multicomponent flows with shock waves is investigated. The method is intended for use with direct numerical simulation or large eddy simulation of compressible multicomponent flows. The method dynamically adds non‐linear artificial diffusivity locally in space to capture different types of discontinuities such as a shock wave, contact surface or material interface while a high‐order compact differencing scheme resolves a broad range of scales in flows. The method is successfully applied to several one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional compressible multicomponent flow problems with shock waves. The results are in good agreement with experiments and earlier computations qualitatively and quantitatively. The method captures unsteady shock and material discontinuities without significant spurious oscillations if initial start‐up errors are properly avoided. Comparisons between the present numerical scheme and high‐order weighted essentially non‐oscillatory (WENO) schemes illustrate the advantage of the present method for resolving a broad range of scales of turbulence while capturing shock waves and material interfaces. Also the present method is expected to require less computational cost than popular high‐order upwind‐biased schemes such as WENO schemes. The mass conservation for each species is satisfied due to the strong conservation form of governing equations employed in the method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solution to Euler equations by high‐resolution upwind compact scheme based on flux splitting

A high‐resolution upwind compact method based on flux splitting is developed for solving the compressive Euler equations. The convective flux terms are discretized by using the modified advection upstream splitting method (AUSM). The developed scheme is used to compute the one‐dimensional Burgers equation and four different example problems of supersonic compressible flows, respectively. The results show that the high‐resolution upwind compact scheme based on modified AUSM+ flux splitting can capture shock wave and other discontinuities, obtain higher resolution and restrain numerical oscillation.

Basic function scheme of polynomial type

A new numerical method named as basic function method is proposed. It can directly discretize differential operators on unstructured grids. By expanding the basic function to approach the exact function, the central and upwind schemes of derivative are constructed. By using the second-order polynomial as a basic function and applying the flux splitting method and the combination of central and upwind schemes to suppress non-physical fluctuation near shock waves, a second-order basic function scheme of polynomial type is proposed to solve inviscid compressible flows numerically. Numerical results of typical examples for two-dimensional inviscid compressible transonic and supersonic steady flows indicate that the new scheme has high accuracy and high resolution for shock waves. Combined with the adaptive remeshing technique, satisfactory results can be obtained.     

Numerical investigation of three-dimensional shock focusing effects by an invariant difference scheme

Symmetry preserving difference schemes which are found on the basis of the Lie-group theory for partial differential equations applied to their first differential approximations are used to simulate the evolution and reflection of shock waves in a cubical cavity with rigid walls and walls with outflow boundary conditions. The explicit difference scheme was used for a shock capturing technique to find and trace the discontinuities in the flow field. The numerical model is based on the strong conservative form of the three-dimensional time-dependent Euler equations with an equation of state for an ideal gas. The three-dimensional time-dependent shock waves which are created by a centered gas volume under high pressure interact with the plane walls of the cavity and lead to focusing effects after the explosion. To follow the propagation of strong plane or spherical shock waves the shock capturing method was proved to be sufficient concerning the spatial resolution of the discontinuities. When interacting with the rigid walls of the cavity the shock waves are assumed to be reflected specularly and to interact with shock waves and contact discontinuities moving from the center to the edges and corners of the cavity. The symmetry preserving character of the invariant difference scheme under use was proved numerically by calculations over long time. No significant deviation of the symmetry character of the imposed initial distribution was found. Additionally, a numerical analysis of the conservation of energy in the cube was performed to find the behavior of the energy in time.     

On the accuracy and efficiency of CFD methods in real gas hypersonics

A study of viscous and inviscid hypersonic flows using generalized upwind methods is presented. A new family of hybrid flux-splitting methods is examined for hypersonic flows. The hybrid method is constructed by the superposition of the flux-vector-splitting (FVS) method and second-order artificial dissipation in the regions of strong shock waves. The conservative variables on the cell faces are calculated by an upwind extrapolation scheme to third-order accuracy. A second-order-accurate scheme is used for the discretization of the viscous terms. The solution of the system of equations is achieved by an implicit unfactored method. In order to reduce the computational time, a local adaptive mesh solution (LAMS) method is proposed. The LAMS method combines the mesh-sequencing technique and local solution of the equations. The local solution of either the Euler or the NAVIER-STOKES equations is applied for the region of the flow field where numerical disturbances die out slowly. Validation of the Euler and NAVIER-STOKES codes is obtained for hypersonic flows around blunt bodies. Real gas effects are introduced via a generalized equation of state.     

High‐order upwind compact scheme and simulation of turbulent premixed V‐flame

A high‐order accurate upwind compact difference scheme with an optimal control coefficient is developed to track the flame front of a premixed V‐flame. In multi‐dimensional problems, dispersion effect appears in the form of anisotropy. By means of Fourier analysis of the operators, anisotropic effects of the upwind compact difference schemes are analysed. Based on a level set algorithm with the effect of exothermicity and baroclinicity, the flame front is tracked. The high‐order accurate upwind compact scheme is employed to approximate the level set equation. In order to suppress numerical oscillations, the group velocity control technique is used and the upwind compact difference scheme is combined with the random vortex method to simulate the turbulent premixed V‐flame. Distributions of velocities and flame brush thickness are obtained by this technique and found to be comparable with experimental measurement. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A numerical study for WENO scheme-based on different lattice Boltzmann flux solver for compressible flows

In this paper, the finite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is incorporated into the recently developed four kinds of lattice Boltzmann flux solver (LBFS) to simulate compressible flows, including inviscid LBFS I, viscous LBFS II, hybrid LBFS III and hybrid LBFS IV. Hybrid LBFS can automatically realize the switch between inviscid LBFS I and viscous LBFS II through introducing a switch function. The resultant hybrid WENO–LBFS scheme absorbs the advantages of WENO scheme and hybrid LBFS. We investigate the performance of WENO scheme based on four kinds of LBFS systematically. Numerical results indicate that the devopled hybrid WENO–LBFS scheme has high accuracy, high resolution and no oscillations. It can not only accurately calculate smooth solutions, but also can effectively capture contact discontinuities and strong shock waves.     

Robustness of the hybrid DRP‐WENO scheme for shock flow computations

This paper describes a new variant of hybrid scheme that is constructed by a wave‐capturing scheme and a nonoscillatory scheme for flow computations in the presence of shocks. The improved fifth‐order upwind weighted essentially nonoscillatory scheme is chosen to be conjugated with the seven‐point dispersion‐relation‐preserving scheme by means of an adaptive switch function of grid‐point type. The new hybrid scheme can achieve a better resolution than the hybrid scheme which is based on the classical weighted essentially scheme. Ami Harten's multiresolution analysis algorithm is applied to density field for detecting discontinuities and setting point values of the switch function adaptively. Moreover, the tenth‐order central filter is applied in smooth part of the flow field for damping dispersion errors. This scheme can promote overall computational efficiency and yield oscillation‐free results in shock flows. The resolution properties and robustness of the new hybrid scheme are tested in both 1D and 2D linear and nonlinear cases. It performs well for computing flow problems with rich structures of weak/strong shocks and large/small vortices, such as the shock‐boundary layer interaction problem in a shock tube, which illustrates that it is very robust and accurate for direct numerical simulation of gas‐dynamics flows.

Weighted Compact Scheme for Shock Capturing

In this paper a new class of finite difference schemes - the Weighted Compact Schemes are proposed. According to the idea of the WENO schemes, the Weighted Compact Scheme is constructed by a combination of the approximations of derivatives on candidate stencils with properly assigned weights so that the non-oscillatory property is achieve when discontinuities appear. The primitive function reconstruction method of ENO schemes is applied to obtain the conservative form of the Weighted Compact Scheme. This new scheme not only preserves the characteristic of standard compact schemes and achieves high order accuracy and high resolution using a compact stencil, but also can accurately capture shock waves and discontinuities without oscillation. Numerical examples show the new scheme is very promising and successful.
