AN EXPLICIT FINITE VOLUME SPATIAL MARCHING METHOD FOR REDUCED NAVIER–STOKES EQUATIONS

This paper develops a spatial marching method for high-speed flows based on a finite volume approach. The method employs the reduced Navier– Stokes equations and a pressure splitting in the streamwise direction based on the Vigneron strategy. For marching from an upstream station to one downstream the modified five-level Runge–Kutta integration scheme due to Jameson and Schmidt is used. In addition, for shock handling and for good convergence properties the method employs a matrix form of the artificial dissipation terms, which has been shown to improve the accuracy of predictions. To achieve a fast rate of convergence, a local time-stepping concept is used. The method retains the time derivative in the governing equations and the solution at every spatial station is obtained in an iterative manner. The developed method is validated against two test cases: (a) supersonic flow past a flat plate; and (b) hypersonic flow past a compression corner involving a strong viscous–inviscid interaction. The computed wall pressure and wall heat transfer coefficients exhibit good general agreement with previous computations by other investigators and with experiments.     

Mathematical model of micropolar fluid in two-phase immiscible fluid flow through porous channel

This paper is concerned with the flow of two immiscible fluids through a porous horizontal channel. The fluid in the upper region is the micropolar fluid/the Eringen fluid, and the fluid in the lower region is the Newtonian viscous fluid. The flow is driven by a constant pressure gradient. The presence of micropolar fluids introduces additional rotational parameters. Also, the porous material considered in both regions has two different permeabilities. A direct method is used to obtain the analytical solution of the concerned problem. In the present problem, the effects of the couple stress, the micropolarity parameter, the viscosity ratio, and the permeability on the velocity profile and the microrotational velocity are discussed. It is found that all the physical parameters play an important role in controlling the translational velocity profile and the microrotational velocity. In addition, numerical values of the different flow parameters are computed. The effects of the different flow parameters on the flow rate and the wall shear stress are also discussed graphically.

Experimental investigation on the wake interference among wind turbines sited in atmospheric boundary layer winds

We examined experimentally the effects of incom-ing surface wind on the turbine wake and the wake interfer-ence among upstream and downstream wind turbines sited in atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) winds. The experi-ment was conducted in a large-scale ABL wind tunnel with scaled wind turbine models mounted in different incom-ing surface winds simulating the ABL winds over typical offshore/onshore wind farms. Power outputs and dynamic loadings acting on the turbine models and the wake flow char-acteristics behind the turbine models were quantified. The results revealed that the incoming surface winds significantly affect the turbine wake characteristics and wake interference between the upstream and downstream turbines. The velocity deficits in the turbine wakes recover faster in the incoming surface winds with relatively high turbulence levels. Varia-tions of the power outputs and dynamic wind loadings acting on the downstream turbines sited in the wakes of upstream turbines are correlated well with the turbine wakes charac-teristics. At the same downstream locations, the downstream turbines have higher power outputs and experience greater static and fatigue loadings in the inflow with relatively high turbulence level, suggesting a smaller effect of wake inter-ference for the turbines sited in onshore wind farms.

A nonlinear analysis framework for bluff-body aerodynamics: A Volterra representation of the solution of Navier-Stokes equations

A nonlinear analysis framework for bluff-body aerodynamics based on Volterra theory is introduced to capture the linear and nonlinear aerodynamic effects. The Volterra kernels based on the impulse function concept are identified by way of the simulation of Navier-Stokes equations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The computational schemes used here are validated through theoretical consideration, i.e., Blasius solution for the steady-state and Theodorsen solution for the system dynamic-state simulation. The source of nonlinearities in the aerodynamics of bluff bodies is systematically investigated. The simulation of bluff-body aerodynamics based on the Volterra reduced-order modeling scheme is obtained by the convolution of the identified kernels with the external inputs, e.g., turbulent inflow or body motion for aerodynamic or aeroelastic response, respectively. It is demonstrated that the Volterra theory-based nonlinear analysis framework for bluff-body aerodynamics combined with the identification of kernels using CFD promises to capture the salient features of bluff-body aerodynamics and offers an accurate reduced-order approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations with reduced level of computational effort.

MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION AND AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF THE UPPER SURFACE FOR HYPERSONIC VEHICLES

为分析小攻角巡航条件下吸气式高超声速飞行器上壁面的变化对其气动性能和容积的影响, 以参数化后的飞行器上壁面对称面型线为设计变量, 在飞行马赫数6.5, 飞行高度27 km, 飞行攻角为4°的条件下, 采用计算流体力学为性能分析工具, Pareto多目标遗传算法为优化设计方法, 开展了二维条件下的升阻比/容积双目标优化设计. 在此基础上, 选择典型的二维优化结果, 重构生成对应的三维构型并进行数值分析, 获得了飞行器气动性能和容积间的相互关系. 结果表明在巡航条件下, 尽管二维/三维条件下飞行器的气动参数数值有较大差别, 但在这2种条件下, 飞行器的升阻比和容积间的关系均近似呈线性反比例关系. 同时, 对于三维构型而言, 在给定容积不变的条件下, 通过改变上壁面对称面型线的形状仅能使升阻比获得较小的增量(约0.36%). 相比之下, 当给定升阻比基本不变的条件下, 飞行器容积可调空间相对较大, 约为1.93%. 此外, 计算结果还表明, 在飞行器的容积基本不变情况下, 通过调节上壁面对称面型线, 可使飞行器的俯仰力矩获得5%左右的调节空间, 且其升阻比基本不变.     

LES of the flow around several cuboids in a row

This paper presents Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of flow around a four-vehicle platoon when one of the platoon members was forced to undergo in-line oscillations. The LES were made at the Reynolds number of 10⁵ based on the height of the vehicles. Combinations of two different frequencies corresponding to non-dimensional frequencies at the Strouhal numbers St₁ = 0.025 and St₂ = 0.013 and two oscillation amplitudes were used in this study. The methodology was validated by comparisons with data from previous experimental investigations. In order to highlight the dynamic effects, comparisons were made with steady results on a single vehicle and on a four-vehicle platoon. Large differences were found in the flow structures between quasi-steady and dynamic results. Furthermore, the behavior of the drag coefficient of the upstream neighbor of the oscillating model was investigated.
