A gas‐kinetic scheme for the simulation of turbulent flows on unstructured meshes

This paper presents a numerical method for simulating turbulent flows via coupling the Boltzmann BGK equation with Spalart–Allmaras one equation turbulence model. Both the Boltzmann BGK equation and the turbulence model equation are carried out using the finite volume method on unstructured meshes, which is different from previous works on structured grid. The application of the gas‐kinetic scheme is extended to the simulation of turbulent flows with arbitrary geometries. The adaptive mesh refinement technique is also adopted to reduce the computational cost and improve the efficiency of meshes. To organize the unstructured mesh data structure efficiently, a non‐manifold hybrid mesh data structure is extended for polygonal cells. Numerical experiments are performed on incompressible flow over a smooth flat plate and compressible turbulent flows around a NACA 0012 airfoil using unstructured hybrid meshes. These numerical results are found to be in good agreement with experimental data and/or other numerical solutions, demonstrating the applicability of the proposed method to simulate both subsonic and transonic turbulent flows.

Numerical simulation of H2/air detonation using unstructured mesh

To explore the capability of unstructured mesh to simulate detonation wave propagation phenomena, numerical simulation of H₂/air detonation using unstructured mesh was conducted. The unstructured mesh has several adv- antages such as easy mesh adaptation and flexibility to the complicated configurations. To examine the resolution dependency of the unstructured mesh, several simulations varying the mesh size were conducted and compared with a computed result using a structured mesh. The results show that the unstructured mesh solution captures the detailed structure of detonation wave, as well as the structured mesh solution. To capture the detailed detonation cell structure, the unstructured mesh simulations required at least twice, ideally 5times the resolution of structured mesh solution.      

Drag prediction,decomposition and visualization in unstructured mesh CFD solver of TAS‐code

The accuracy of drag prediction in unstructured mesh CFD solver of TAS (Tohoku University Aerodynamic Simulation) code is discussed using a drag decomposition method. The drag decomposition method decomposes total drag into wave, profile, induced and spurious drag components, the latter resulting from numerical diffusion and errors. The mesh resolution analysis is conducted by the drag decomposition method. The effect of an advanced unstructured mesh scheme of U‐MUSCL reconstruction is also investigated by the drag decomposition method. The computational results show that the drag decomposition method reliably predicts drag and is capable of meaningful drag decomposition. The accuracy of drag prediction is increased by eliminating the spurious drag component from the total drag. It is also confirmed that the physical drag components are almost independent of the mesh resolution and scheme modification. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mesh Deformation Method Based on Mean Value Coordinates Interpolation

Mesh deformation technique is widely used in many application fields, and has received a lot of attentions in recent years. This paper focuses on the methodology and algorithm of algebraic type mesh deformation for unstructured mesh in numerical discretization. To preserve mesh quality effectively, an algebraic approach for two and three dimensional unstructured mesh is developed based on mean value coordinates interpolation combined with node visibility analysis.The proposed approach firstly performs node visibility analysis to find out the visible boundary for each grid point to be moved, then evaluates the mean value coordinates of each grid point with respect to all vertices on its visible boundary. Thus the displacements of grid points can be calculated by interpolating the boundary movement by the mean value coordinates. Compared with other methods, the proposed method has good deformation capability and predictable computational cost, with no need to select parameters or functions. Applications of mesh deformation in different fields are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results of numerical experiments exhibit not only superior deformation capability of the method in traditional applications of fluid dynamic grid, but also great potential in modeling for large deformation analysis and inverse design problems.     

Unstructured lattice Boltzmann method in three dimensions

Over the last decade, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has evolved into a valuable alternative to continuum computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for the numerical simulation of several complex fluid‐dynamic problems. Recent advances in lattice Boltzmann research have considerably extended the capability of LBM to handle complex geometries. Among these, a particularly remarkable option is represented by cell‐vertex finite‐volume formulations which permit LBM to operate on fully unstructured grids. The two‐dimensional implementation of unstructured LBM, based on the use of triangular elements, has shown capability of tolerating significant grid distortions without suffering any appreciable numerical viscosity effects, to second‐order in the mesh size. In this work, we present the first three‐dimensional generalization of the unstructured lattice Boltzmann technique (ULBE as unstructured lattice Boltzmann equation), in which geometrical flexibility is achieved by coarse‐graining the lattice Boltzmann equation in differential form, using tetrahedrical grids. This 3D extension is demonstrated for the case of 3D pipe flow and moderate Reynolds numbers flow past a sphere. The results provide evidence that the ULBE has significant potential for the accurate calculation of flows in complex 3D geometries. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

CFD computations of NAL experimental airplane with rocket booster using overset unstructured grids

Flows around the NAL jet‐powered experimental airplane with a small rocket booster under the fuselage are computed by solving the Euler equations using the overset unstructured grid method. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of a small rocket booster, which accelerates the airplane to supersonic speed, on the aerodynamic performance of the airplane during the ascent flight and the booster separation. Two unstructured meshes, one for the airplane and one for the booster, overlap. For the accurate separation simulation, the two bodies are in contact at first, and then the booster mesh is contact mesh is moved relative to the airplane mesh to evaluate flow interactions between two bodies.
