高精度格式WCNS-E-5的Fourier分析与应用

对高精度加权紧致非线性格式WCNS-E-5进行了理论分析和应用研究。首先采用Fourier方法分析了WCNS-E-5与WCNS-5及其它高阶格式(迎风偏置格式EUW-5与标准格式)的差分误差特性,研究了它们在分辨效率方面的特性和相位误差在多维方向上的各向异性特性。分析结果显示WCNS-E-5与WCNS-5在色散与耗散特性方面优于EUW-5,分辨效率也普遍高于EUW-5和格式,而且它们的相位速度在多维方向上传播所表现的各向异性特性与其它高阶格式一致。WCNS-E-5的高精度特性与WCNS-5的一致,但在计算过程中少了三对角矩阵求解因而它的效率更高,于是采用WCNS-E-5数值模拟了二维/三维复杂流场,算例包括单涡斜向运动、二维Rie-mann问题以及存在分离的大攻角钝锥流动问题。计算结果体现了WCNS-E-5具有很低的数值耗散误差,它对激波、膨胀波和接触面等间断具有很好的捕捉能力,得到的图像清晰光滑,准确再现了真实流动现象。

Extension of the local domain-free discretization method to large eddy simulation of turbulent flows

In this work, an immersed boundary method, called the local domain-free discretization (DFD) method, is extended to large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flows. The discrete form of partial differential equations at an interior node may involve some nodes outside the solution domain. The flow variables at these exterior dependent nodes are evaluated via linear extrapolation along the direction normal to the wall. To alleviate the requirement of mesh resolution in the near-wall region, a wall model based on the turbulence boundary layer equations is introduced. The wall shear stress yielded by the wall model and the no-penetration condition are enforced at the immersed boundary to evaluate the velocity components at an exterior dependent node. For turbulence closure, a dynamic subgrid scale (SGS) model is adopted and the Lagrangian averaging procedure is used to compute the model coefficient. The SGS eddy viscosity at an exterior dependent node is set to be equal to that at the outer layer. To maintain the mass conservation near the immersed boundary, a mass source/sink term is added into the continuity equation. Numerical experiments on relatively coarse meshes with stationary or moving solid boundaries have been conducted to verify the ability of the present LES-DFD method. The predicted results agree well with the published experimental or numerical data.     

Large eddy simulation in a turbulent channel flow using exit boundary conditions

The influence of the exit boundary conditions on the vanishing first derivative of the velocity components and constant pressure on the large eddy simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flow has been investigated for equidistant and stretched grids at the channel exit. Results show that the chosen exit boundary conditions introduce some small disturbances that are mostly damped by the grid stretching. The difference of rms values between the fully developed turbulent channel flow with periodicity conditions and the fully developed channel flow using inlet and the exit boundary conditions is less than 10% for the equidistant grids and less than 5% for the stretched grids. The chosen boundary conditions are of interest because they may be used in complex problems with back flow at the exit. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Towards simulation of flapping wings using immersed boundary method

In this work the immersed boundary method is applied to simulate incompressible turbulent flows around stationary and moving objects. The goal is to demonstrate that the immersed boundary technique along with a large eddy simulation approach is capable of simulating the effect of the so‐called leading edge vortex (LEV), which can be found in flapping wing aerodynamics. A Lagrangian method is used to approximate the solutions in the freshly cleared cells that lay within solid objects at one time step and emerge into fluid domain at the next time step. Flow around a stationary cylinder at Re_D = 20, 40, and 3900 (based on cylinder diameter D) is first studied to validate the immersed boundary solver based on the finite volume scheme using a staggered grid. Then, a harmonically oscillating cylinder at Re_D = 10 000 is considered to test the solver after the Lagrangian method is implemented to interpolate the solution in the freshly cleared cells. Finally, this approach is used to study flows around a stationary flat‐plate at several angles of attack and fast pitching flat‐plate. The rapidly pitching plate creates a dynamic LEV that can be used to improve the efficiency of flapping wings of micro air vehicle and to determine the optimum flapping frequency.

Implicit large eddy simulation of a supersonic flat-plate boundary layer flow by weighted compact nonlinear scheme

The performance of implicit large eddy simulation (ILES) of a supersonic flat-plate turbulent boundary layer flow by weighted compact nonlinear scheme (WCNS) has been investigated. In view of features of WCNS and ILES, it was expected that ILES by WCNS could be an efficient approach to perform LES of supersonic turbulent flows. The flowfield calculated by WCNS was of lower turbulent intensity compared with an explicit LES data obtained by a numerical scheme of the same order of accuracy on a computational grid of similar resolution. It was concluded that the numerical dissipation inherent in WCNS is so large that applying WCNS to ILES of this flowfield is inefficient compared with explicit LES.     

Simple lattice Boltzmann approach for turbulent buoyant flow simulation

Large eddy simulation and a simple wall model for turbulent flow calculation by a particle method

A turbulent channel flow and the flow around a cubic obstacle are calculated by the moving particle semi‐implicit method with the subparticle‐scale turbulent model and a wall model, which is based on the zero equation RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier‐Stokes). The wall model is useful in practical problems that often involve high Reynolds numbers and wall turbulence, because it is difficult to keep high resolution in the near‐wall region in particle simulation. A turbulent channel flow is calculated by the present method to validate our wall model. The mean velocity distribution agrees with the log‐law velocity profile near the wall. Statistical values are also the same order and tendency as experimental results with emulating viscous layer by the wall model. We also investigated the influence of numerical oscillations on turbulence analysis in using the moving particle semi‐implicit method. Finally, the turbulent flow around a cubic obstacle is calculated by the present method to demonstrate capability of calculating practical turbulent flows. Three characteristic eddies appear in front of, over, and in the back of the cube both in our calculation and the experimental result that was obtained by Martinuzzi and Tropea. Mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles are predicted in the same order and have similar tendency as the experimental result. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An immersed boundary/wall modeling method for RANS simulation of compressible turbulent flows

In this paper, an immersed boundary (IB) method is developed to simulate compressible turbulent flows governed by the Reynolds‐averaged Navier‐Stokes equations. The flow variables at the IB nodes (interior nodes in the immediate vicinity of the solid wall) are evaluated via linear interpolation in the normal direction to close the discrete form of the governing equations. An adaptive wall function and a 2‐layer wall model are introduced to reduce the near‐wall mesh density required by the high resolution of the turbulent boundary layers. The wall shear stress modified by the wall modeling technique and the no‐penetration condition are enforced to evaluate the velocity at an IB node. The pressure and temperature at an IB node are obtained via the local simplified momentum equation and the Crocco‐Busemann relation, respectively. The SST k ? ω and S‐A turbulence models are adopted in the framework of the present IB approach. For the Shear‐Stress Transport (SST) k ? ω model, analytical solutions in near‐wall region are utilized to enforce the boundary conditions of the turbulence equations and evaluate the turbulence variables at an IB node. For the S‐A model, the turbulence variable at an IB node is calculated by using the near‐wall profile of the eddy viscosity. In order to validate the present IB approach, numerical experiments for compressible turbulent flows over stationary and moving bodies have been performed. The predictions show good agreements with the referenced experimental data and numerical results.
