This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shock-induced flow separation and its subsequent reattachment are encountered in many configurations, such as supersonic inlets or rocket nozzles. These phenomena involve complex interactions of boundary layers with compression or expansion waves and exhibit a low-frequency unsteady behaviour which still requires a clear explanation. This study aims at better identifying the physical mechanisms which drive the global structure of these flows and suggesting improved numerical tools in order to predict these more accurately. The appearance of free and restricted separations in supersonic separated jets is more particularly investigated. Various hypotheses are tested to explain the evolution of the associated unsteady asymmetric wall pressure field in function of the nozzle pressure ratio. New numerical strategies are proposed and lead to identify more accurately the appearance of free and restricted separations and the time-varying morphology of the flow during the transition process. Possible origins of side-load activities are extensively investigated by performing the azimuthal expansion of wall pressure field.

This book was released on 2009-03-07 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a high-fidelity approach to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. Recent developments have shown LES to be able to predict aerodynamic noise generation and propagation as well as the turbulent flow, by means of either a hybrid or a direct approach. This book is based on the results of two French/German research groups working on LES simulations in complex geometries and noise generation in turbulent flows. The results provide insights into modern prediction approaches for turbulent flows and noise generation mechanisms as well as their use for novel noise reduction concepts.

Download or read book Direct and Large Eddy Simulation XI written by Maria Vittoria Salvetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-02 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers the proceedings of the 11th workshop on Direct and Large Eddy Simulation (DLES), which was held in Pisa, Italy in May 2017. The event focused on modern techniques for simulating turbulent flows based on the partial or full resolution of the instantaneous turbulent flow structures, as Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) or hybrid models based on a combination of LES and RANS approaches. In light of the growing capacities of modern computers, these approaches have been gaining more and more interest over the years and will undoubtedly be developed and applied further. The workshop offered a unique opportunity to establish a state-of-the-art of DNS, LES and related techniques for the computation and modeling of turbulent and transitional flows and to discuss about recent advances and applications. This volume contains most of the contributed papers, which were submitted and further reviewed for publication. They cover advances in computational techniques, SGS modeling, boundary conditions, post-processing and data analysis, and applications in several fields, namely multiphase and reactive flows, convection and heat transfer, compressible flows, aerodynamics of airfoils and wings, bluff-body and separated flows, internal flows and wall turbulence and other complex flows.
Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulation of a Spatially Developing Turbulent Boundary Layer Separating Over a Curved Wall written by Abhiram B. Aithal and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flow separation is encountered in many engineering devices, e.g., turbines, diffusers, wings and aftbodies of aircrafts. The physical mechanisms of separated turbulent boundary layers over curved walls are not yet well understood. The main objectives of the present study are to: (i) develop an efficient numerical methodology to perform direct numerical simulations (DNS) of spatially-developing turbulent boundary layers (SDTBLs) over curved walls, and (ii) enhance our knowledge on the dynamics of turbulence in SDTBLs separating over curved walls. To achieve these objectives, we have developed a new pressure-correction method, called FastRK3, for simulating incompressible flows over curved walls. FastRK3 solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equations written in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. The orthogonal formulation of the NS equations substantially reduces the computational cost of the flow solver and the numerical stencils of its second-order finite difference discretization mirror that of the Cartesian formulation. This property allows us to develop an FFT-based Poisson solver for pressure, called FastPoc, for those cases where the components of the metric tensor are independent of one spatial direction: surfaces of linear translation (e.g., curved ramps and bumps) and surfaces of revolution (e.g., axisymmetric shapes). Our results show that the new FFT-based Poisson solver, FastPoc, is thirty to sixty times faster than the multigrid-based linear solver, and the new flow solver, FastRK3, is overall four to seven times faster when using FastPoc rather than multigrid. FastRK3 is an explicit, three-stage, third-order Runge-Kutta based projection-method which requires solving the Poisson equation for pressure only once per time step. We show theoretically and numerically that (i) FastRK3 has the same temporal order of accuracy for pressure and velocity as the standard RK3 method for both free-shear and wall-bounded flows when the RK3 coefficients and the pressure extrapolation scheme satisfy specific conditions herein theoretically derived, (ii) FastRK3 is third-order accurate in time for velocity and second-order accurate in time for pressure for free-shear flows, and (iii) FastRK3 is second-order accurate in time for velocity and pressure for `stiff' wall-bounded flows. In summary, given that the computational mesh satisfies the property of orthogonality, FastRK3 simulates flows over curved walls with second-order accuracy in both space and time. Using FastRK3, we perform DNS of a SDTBL separating over a curved wall. We validate FastRK3 by comparing our numerical results with published experiments. For the first time, we derive the budget equations of the turbulence kinetic energy and of the Reynolds stresses in orthogonal coordinates, and report the results from our DNS. We study the dynamics of turbulence of the separated flow over the curved wall by analyzing these budget equations. Our analysis shows that, in the separated region over the curved ramp, the TKE production occurs through the production of (u2) as well as (v2) in contrast to a ZPG SDTBL where the TKE production is mostly through the production of (u2). In the curved ramp region, the viscous diffusion and dissipation of (v2) and (uv) are not zero at the wall, unlike that for both a ZPG SDTBL over a flat-plate as well as a pressure-gradient induced turbulent flow separation over a flat plate. And, the curved ramp region of the flow is characterized by enhanced transport of the Reynolds stresses compared to those of the upstream ZPG SDTBL due to the mixing layer created in the flow by the flow separation. Finally, our results have shown, for the first time, that the Reynolds stress profiles and budgets in the orthogonal curvilinear coordinates are very similar to those in the APG region of the 'pressure-gradient induced flow separation' in a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer. Such a comparison is only possible because (i) we employ a structured orthogonal grid over the curved ramp in our simulations, and (ii) FastRK3 solves the governing equations written in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates.

Download or read book Direct and Large Eddy Simulation I written by Peter R. Voke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-10-31 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a truism that turbulence is an unsolved problem, whether in scientific, engin eering or geophysical terms. It is strange that this remains largely the case even though we now know how to solve directly, with the help of sufficiently large and powerful computers, accurate approximations to the equations that govern tur bulent flows. The problem lies not with our numerical approximations but with the size of the computational task and the complexity of the solutions we gen erate, which match the complexity of real turbulence precisely in so far as the computations mimic the real flows. The fact that we can now solve some turbu lence in this limited sense is nevertheless an enormous step towards the goal of full understanding. Direct and large-eddy simulations are these numerical solutions of turbulence. They reproduce with remarkable fidelity the statistical, structural and dynamical properties of physical turbulent and transitional flows, though since the simula tions are necessarily time-dependent and three-dimensional they demand the most advanced computer resources at our disposal. The numerical techniques vary from accurate spectral methods and high-order finite differences to simple finite-volume algorithms derived on the principle of embedding fundamental conservation prop erties in the numerical operations. Genuine direct simulations resolve all the fluid motions fully, and require the highest practical accuracy in their numerical and temporal discretisation. Such simulations have the virtue of great fidelity when carried out carefully, and repre sent a most powerful tool for investigating the processes of transition to turbulence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shock wave-boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is a fundamental phenomenon in gas dynamics that is observed in many practical situations, ranging from transonic aircraft wings to hypersonic vehicles and engines. SBLIs have the potential to pose serious problems in a flowfield; hence they often prove to be a critical - or even design limiting - issue for many aerospace applications. This is the first book devoted solely to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art explanation of this phenomenon. It includes a description of the basic fluid mechanics of SBLIs plus contributions from leading international experts who share their insight into their physics and the impact they have in practical flow situations. This book is for practitioners and graduate students in aerodynamics who wish to familiarize themselves with all aspects of SBLI flows. It is a valuable resource for specialists because it compiles experimental, computational and theoretical knowledge in one place.

Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Flow Over a Dimpled Flat Plate Using an Immersed Boundary Technique written by Jeremiah J. Gutierrez-Jensen and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many methods of passive flow control rely on changes to surface morphology. Roughening surfaces to induce boundary layer transition to turbulence and in turn delay separation is a powerful approach to lowering drag on bluff bodies. While the influence in broad terms of how roughness and other means of passive flow control to delay separation on bluff bodies is known, basic mechanisms are not well understood. Of particular interest for the current work is understanding the role of surface dimpling on boundary layers. A computational approach is employed and the study has two main goals. The first is to understand and advance the numerical methodology utilized for the computations. The second is to shed some light on the details of how surface dimples distort boundary layers and cause transition to turbulence. Simulations are performed of the flow over a simplified configuration: the flow of a boundary layer over a dimpled flat plate. The flow is modeled using an immersed boundary as a representation of the dimpled surface along with direct numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The dimple geometry used is fixed and is that of a spherical depression in the flat plate with a depth-to-diameter ratio of 0.1. The dimples are arranged in staggered rows separated by spacing of the center of the bottom of the dimples by one diameter in both the spanwise and streamwise dimensions. The simulations are conducted for both two and three staggered rows of dimples. Flow variables are normalized at the inlet by the dimple depth and the Reynolds number is specified as 4000 (based on freestream velocity and inlet boundary layer thickness). First and second order statistics show the turbulent boundary layers correlate well to channel flow and flow of a zero pressure gradient flat plate boundary layers in the viscous sublayer and the buffer layer, but deviates further away from the wall. The forcing of transition to turbulence by the dimples is unlike the transition caused by a naturally transitioning flow, a small perturbation such as trip tape in experimental flows, or noise in the inlet condition for computational flows.
