Electromagnetic field in rotating frame of reference

The problem of transformation of electromagnetic field from inertial frame of reference to non-inertial rotating frame of reference and vice versa is discussed. By the use of the tetrad method (moving reper method) it is shown that in cylindrical coordinates the usual Lorentz formulas can be applied. It is also shown that in cylindrical coordinates the form of Maxwell equations in rotating frame of reference is the same as in inertial one.     

Second-moment closure modelling of turbulence in a non-inertial frame

This article investigates the performance of second-moment closures in a rotating reference frame and presents a new closure for the rapid pressure-strain rate correlation based on the recently developed materially frame indifference principle. It is observed here that the existing second-moment closures with appropriate near-wall treatment can adequately predict flows in a rotating channel and in an axially rotating pipe for moderate rotation rate. Analysis of the newly proposed model indicates that it is capable of reflecting flow features under strong rotation.     

Turbulence modelling of the shear layers in the trailing edge region of a modern rear-loaded airfoil at incidence

After carefull analysis in a turbulent zero-pressure gradient flow, various simple algebraic turbulence models were applied to the almost separated flow on the upperside of an airfoil at incidence. The Johnson-King and Horton non-equilibrium (or rate equation) models give clearly improved results.     

Assessment of two‐equation turbulence modelling for high Reynolds number hydrofoil flows

This paper presents an evaluation of the capability of turbulence models available in the commercial CFD code FLUENT 6.0 for their application to hydrofoil turbulent boundary layer separation flow at high Reynolds numbers. Four widely applied two‐equation RANS turbulence models were assessed through comparison with experimental data at Reynolds numbers of 8.284×106 and 1.657×107. They were the standard k–εmodel, the realizable k–εmodel, the standard k–ωmodel and the shear‐stress‐transport (SST) k–ωmodel. It has found that the realizable k–εturbulence model used with enhanced wall functions and near‐wall modelling techniques, consistently provides superior performance in predicting the flow characteristics around the hydrofoil.

超声速流动中非线性EASM湍流模式应用研究

针对超声速复杂流动区域精确模拟的需要,发展了基于k-ω可压缩修正形式的非线性显式代数雷诺应力模式（EASM）,提高了该模式对超声速复杂流动的数值模拟精度。通过对二维超声速凹槽和三维双椭球的数值计算表明,与SA和SST常规线性涡黏性湍流模式比较,非线性的EASM模式对大分离以及剪切层流动结构的刻画能力更精细,对剪切层再附区的压力及摩擦系数分布模拟更加精确;EASM模式能够准确地模拟二次激波引起的压强和热流分布情况。
