针对Saurel和Abgrall提出的两速度两压力的七方程可压缩多相流模型,改进了其数值解法并应用于模拟可压缩多介质流动问题.在Saurel等的算子分裂法基础上,根据Abgrall的多相流系统应满足速度和压力的均匀性不随时间改变的思想,推导了与HLLC格式一致的非守恒项离散格式以及体积分数发展方程的迎风格式.进一步,通过改变分裂步顺序,构造了稳健的结合算子分裂的三阶TVD龙格-库塔方法.最后通过几个一维和二维高密度比高压力比气液两相流算例,显示了该方法在计算精度和稳健性上的改进效果.      

一种健壮的TV通量分裂格式

随着计算流体力学的快速发展,设计精确、高效并且健壮的数值格式变得尤为重要。Toro等^[8]提出的TV通量分裂格式表现出简单、高效和精确分辨接触间断等优点,但是在计算一些多维算例时会出现数值激波不稳定现象。两波近似的HLL格式在计算中非常高效和健壮,但是不能分辨接触间断大大地限制了其应用。本文对TV通量分裂格式进行稳定性分析,据此提出一种混合格式来消除TV格式的数值激波不稳定性。数值试验表明,本文构造的混合格式不仅保留了原始TV格式的优点,而且具有更好的健壮性,在计算二维问题时不会出现数值激波不稳定现象。     

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。     

改进的HLLC方法及其在Baer-Nunziato模型中的应用

波速估计对HLLC方法的计算影响较大,如果取值过小,则不能抓住波系特征;如果取值过大,则会引入较大的粘性。如何确定波速已有大量的研究,但是每种方法都有一定的适用范围。本文提出一种可避免估计波速的HLLC方法,并应用于两相流Baer-Nunziato模型模拟。本文方法与三种经典的波速估计方法进行比较,针对几类典型的B-N模型初值问题,不同的波速估计方法模拟能力差异较大,而本文方法可以自动确定适当的波速,因此得到较好的模拟结果。     

一种面向激波噪声计算的加权优化紧致格式及非线性效应分析

在超声速流动中, 激波与湍流结构的相互作用会产生高强度的激波噪声. 激波噪声的高保真计算要求激波捕捉格式具有高阶精度、低耗散和低色散特性, 同时还要尽可能地减弱格式的非线性效应. 现有的六阶精度迎风/对称混合型加权非线性紧致格式CCSSR-HW-6在基于对称模板构造网格中心处的数值通量时引入了两级加权, 且两级加权都需要构造非线性的权系数, 因而非线性效应较强. 本文以修正波数的误差积分函数为优化目标函数, 优化了CCSSR-HW-6格式的非线性特性, 建立了加权优化紧致格式WOCS. 精度验证表明WOCS格式的精度高于5阶. 谱特性分析表明, 与原方法相比, WOCS格式的耗散误差和非线性效应显著降低. 典型激波噪声问题数值实验表明: WOCS格式不仅提高了对高频波的分辨能力, 而且显著地消除了数值解中因格式的非线性效应所导致的非物理振荡.      

高精度非线性格式WCNS的分析研究与其应用

首先将Fourier方法推广于高维方向研究了五阶精度WCNS的特性,并与其他高阶格式进行比较。分析结果表明WCNS的高精度特性普遍接近甚至好于迎风偏置五阶显式格式EUW-5与Pade′标准格式。然后开展了WCNS的应用研究,采用高效率的WCNS-E-5数值模拟了含强激波的高维复杂流场。算例包括二维高超声速边界层对自由流扰动波的吸收问题以及三维球头绕流问题。计算结果反映出WCNS-E-5对激波等间断的良好捕捉能力,图像清晰光滑,数据准确可靠。     

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。     

基于HLL-HLLC的高阶WENO格式及其应用研究

HLL-HLLC格式能够克服HLLC在强激波附近的激波不稳定现象,并且保持了HLLC的低耗散特性,是一种适合更大马赫数范围的近似黎曼求解器。本文从RANS方程出发,将HLL-HLLC近似黎曼求解器结合五阶WENO重构,实现了对无粘通量的高阶离散;同时,采用完全守恒形式的四阶中心差分格式处理粘性项,建立了RANS 方程的高阶数值求解格式。通过对四个经典算例,钝头体、 ONERA M6机翼、DLR F6-WB翼身组合体和DLR F6-WBNP复杂外形的数值模拟,考察了两种WENO改进格式在复杂流场中的表现,研究了高阶格式的收敛特性;给出了在复杂流动中 WENO自由参数的推荐值,以增强求解的收敛性。算例结果表明,本文构造的高阶格式鲁棒性好,能够显著改善激波位置和激波强度,捕获更丰富的流场细节,满足复杂工程应用需求。     

一种简单的精确捕捉接触间断的黎曼求解器

基于Godunov型数值格式的有限体积法是求解双曲型守恒律系统的主流方法,其中用来计算界面数值通量的黎曼求解器在很大程度上决定了数值格式在计算中的表现。单波的Rusanov求解器和双波的HLL求解器具有简单、高效和鲁棒性好等优点,但是在捕捉接触间断时耗散太大。全波的HLLC格式能够精确捕捉接触间断,但是在计算中出现的激波不稳定现象限制了其在高马赫数流动问题中的应用。本文利用双曲正切函数和五阶WENO格式来重构界面两侧的密度值,并且结合边界变差下降算法来减小Rusanov格式耗散项中的密度差,从而提高格式对于接触间断的分辨率。研究表明,相比于全波的HLLC求解器,本文构造的黎曼求解器不仅具有更高的接触分辨率,而且还具有更好的激波稳定性。     

前体涡发生器对轴对称高超声速进气道激波振荡流动的影响实验

激波振荡是高超声速进气道不起动过程中常见的流动现象,会显著降低进气道气流捕获与压缩效率、产生剧烈的非定常气动力载荷而危害飞行器安全. 从激波振荡的控制出发,实验研究了前体转捩带位置的涡发生器对轴对称高超声速进气道激波振荡流动的影响. 分别在起动和激波振荡两种进气道流态下,选择无、0.5 mm与1 mm高度涡发生器工况进行对比研究. 并采用高速纹影与壁面动态测压同步记录非定常流动特征. 结果表明,1 mm高度内的涡发生器对起动状态的进气道主流流场结构、壁面压强分布影响不显著. 但对于激波振荡流动,涡发生器会明显缩小外压缩面分离区运动范围,缩短振荡周期,提升振荡周期内壁面压强的时均值. 涡发生器的影响程度随其高度的增大而增强,其中振荡周期从无涡发生器的4 ms缩短到1 mm高度涡发生器的3.13 ms. 此外,0.5 mm高度涡发生器会使得进气道内部测点的压强振荡幅值整体下降,相比无涡发生器工况的下降幅度可达23%. 流场结构与壁面压强信号的分析表明,涡流发生器主要通过其产生的流向涡影响激波振荡流动,包含流向涡对下游边界层的扰动以及流向涡与分离区的相互干扰.      

Evaluation of Euler fluxes by a high-order CFD scheme: shock instability

The construction of Euler fluxes is an important step in shock-capturing/upwind schemes. It is well known that unsuitable fluxes are responsible for many shock anomalies, such as the carbuncle phenomenon. Three kinds of flux vector splittings (FVSs) as well as three kinds of flux difference splittings (FDSs) are evaluated for the shock instability by a fifth-order weighted compact nonlinear scheme. The three FVSs are Steger–Warming splitting, van Leer splitting and kinetic flux vector splitting (KFVS). The three FDSs are Roe's splitting, advection upstream splitting method (AUSM) type splitting and Harten–Lax–van Leer (HLL) type splitting. Numerical results indicate that FVSs and high dissipative FDSs undergo a relative lower risk on the shock instability than that of low dissipative FDSs. However, none of the fluxes evaluated in the present study can entirely avoid the shock instability. Generally, the shock instability may be caused by any of the following factors: low dissipation, high Mach number, unsuitable grid distribution, large grid aspect ratio, and the relative shock-internal flow state (or position) between upstream and downstream shock waves. It comes out that the most important factor is the relative shock-internal state. If the shock-internal state is closer to the downstream state, the computation is at higher susceptibility to the shock instability. Wall-normal grid distribution has a greater influence on the shock instability than wall-azimuthal grid distribution because wall-normal grids directly impact on the shock-internal position. High shock intensity poses a high risk on the shock instability, but its influence is not as much as the shock-internal state. Large grid aspect ratio is also a source of the shock instability. Some results of a second-order scheme and a first-order scheme are also given. The comparison between the high-order scheme and the two low-order schemes indicates that high-order schemes are at a higher risk of the shock instability. Adding an entropy fix is very helpful in suppressing the shock instability for the two low-order schemes. When the high-order scheme is used, the entropy fix still works well for Roe's flux, but its effect on the Steger–Warming flux is trivial and not much clear.     

Healing of shock instability for Roe's flux‐difference splitting scheme on triangular meshes

Healing of nonphysical flow solutions and shock instability from the use of Roe's flux‐difference splitting scheme is presented. The proposed method heals nonphysical flow solutions such as the carbuncle phenomenon, the shock instability from the odd–even decoupling problem, and the expansion shock generated from the violated entropy condition. The performance and efficiency of the proposed method are evaluated by solving several benchmark and complex high‐speed compressible flow problems. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A simple, robust, and accurate HLLC-type Riemann solver for the compressible Euler equations at various Mach numbers is built. To cure shock instability of the HLLC solver at strong shocks, a pressure-control technique, which plays a role in limiting the propagation of erroneous pressure perturbation, is proposed. With an all Mach correction method for the compressible Euler system, the proposed method is further extended to compute flow problems at low Mach numbers. The proposed all Mach HLLC-type scheme has been implemented and used to compute a variety of flow problems ranging from hypersonic compressible to low Mach incompressible flow regimes. Various numerical results demonstrate that the obtained all Mach HLLC-type scheme is both accurate and stable for all speed ranges.     

A robust low‐dissipation AUSM‐family scheme for numerical shock stability on unstructured grids

The simple low‐dissipation advection upwind splitting method (SLAU) scheme is a parameter‐free, low‐dissipation upwind scheme that has been applied in a wide range of aerodynamic numerical simulations. In spite of its successful applications, the SLAU scheme could be showing shock instabilities on unstructured grids, as many other contact resolved upwind schemes. Therefore, a hybrid upwind flux scheme is devised for improving the shock stability of SLAU scheme, without compromising on accuracy and low Mach number performance. Numerical flux function of the hybrid scheme is written in a general form, in which only the scalar dissipation term is different from that of the SLAU scheme. The hybrid dissipation term is defined by using a differentiable multidimensional‐shock‐detection pressure weight function, and the dissipation term of SLAU scheme is combined with that of the Van Leer scheme. Furthermore, the hybrid dissipation term is only applied for the solution of momentum fluxes in numerical flux function. Based on the numerical test results, the hybrid scheme is deemed to be a successful improvement on the shock stability of SLAU scheme, without compromising on the efficiency and accuracy.

HLLC scheme with novel wave‐speed estimators appropriate for two‐dimensional shallow‐water flow on erodible bed

This paper presents a first‐order HLLC (Harten‐Lax‐Van Leer with contact discontinuities) scheme to solve the Saint‐Venant shallow‐water equations, including morphological evolution of the bed by erosion and deposition of sediments. The Exner equation is used to model the morphological evolution of the bed, while a closure equation is needed to evaluate the rate of sediment transport. The system of Saint‐Venant–Exner equations is solved in a fully coupled way using a finite‐volume technique and a HLLC solver for the fluxes, with a novel wave‐speed estimator adapted to the Exner equation. Wave speeds are usually derived by computing the eigenvalues of the full system, which is highly time‐consuming when no analytical expression is available. In this paper, an eigenvalue analysis of the full system is conducted, leading to simple but still accurate wave‐speed estimators. The new numerical scheme is then tested in three different situations: (1) a circular dam‐break flow over movable bed, (2) an one‐dimensional bed aggradation problem simulated on a 2D unstructured mesh and (3) the case of a dam‐break flow in an erodible channel with a sudden enlargement, for which experimental measurements are available.

The numerical simulations of explosion and implosion in air: use of a modified Harten's TVD scheme

Numerical simulations of explosion and implosion in air are carried out with a modified Harten's TVD scheme. The new scheme has a high resolution for contact discontinuities in addition to maintaining the good features of Harten's TVD scheme. In the numerical experiment of spherical explosion in air, the second shock wave (which does not exist in the one‐dimensional shock tube problem) and its subsequent implosion on the origin have been successfully captured. The positions of the main shock wave, the contact discontinuity and the second shock wave have shown satisfactory agreement with those predicted from previous analysis. The numerical results are also compared with those obtained experimentally. Finally, simulations of a cylindrical explosion and implosion in air are carried out. Results of the cylindrical implosion in air are compared with those of previous work, including the interaction of the reflected main shock wave with the contact discontinuity and the formation of a second shock wave. All these attest to the successful use of the modified Harten's TVD scheme for the simulations of shock waves arising from explosion and implosion. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A hybrid scheme for the numerical simulation of shock/discontinuity problems

To address accuracy issues for direct numerical simulation, a hybrid scheme based on the weighted compact scheme (WCS) and weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is developed. The new hybrid method incorporates the advantages of both schemes. Time integration is performed using the fourth-order total variation diminishing Runge–Kutta method with a characteristic filter. The accuracy of the scheme is assessed using several benchmark problems. Results show that the proposed scheme produces a more accurate solution for problems involving shocks and discontinuities in comparison with the traditional shock-capturing methods.     

Calculation of supersonic steady-state flow in axisymmetric nozzles with an upwind difference scheme

This paper is on the application of the upwind difference scheme proposed by the author^[1] to the calculation of supersonic steady-state flow in axisymmetric nozzles. The upwind scheme is conservative (or weakly conservative), it yields results approximating those from the characteristic relations, and it has corresponding boundary difference schemes. The entropy phenomenon in the calculation of shock reflection on boundaries with the shock-capturing method will be discussed and a correction of this phenomenon will be proposed. From numerical experiments on an arbitrary nozzle, it is seen that the upwind difference scheme, its corresponding boundary scheme, and the improved treatment of shock reflection work well for the calculation of supersonic steady-state flow in axisymmetric nozzles.
