Analysis on capabilities of density-based solvers within OpenFOAM to distinguish aerothermal variables in difusion boundary layer

Open source feld operation and manipulation（OpenFOAM）is one of the most prevalent open source computational fluid dynamics（CFD）software.It is very convenient for researchers to develop their own codes based on the class library toolbox within OpenFOAM.In recent years,several density-based solvers within OpenFOAM for supersonic/hypersonic compressible flow are coming up.Although the capabilities of these solvers to capture shock wave have already been verifed by some researchers,these solvers still need to be validated comprehensively as commercial CFD software.In boundary layer where diffusion is the dominant transportation manner,the convective discrete schemes＇capability to capture aerothermal variables,such as temperature and heat flux,is different from each other due to their own numerical dissipative characteristics and from viewpoint of this capability,these compressible solvers within OpenFOAM can be validated further.In this paper,frstly,the organizational architecture of density-based solvers within OpenFOAM is analyzed.Then,from the viewpoint of the capability to capture aerothermal variables,the numerical results of several typical geometrical felds predicted by these solvers are compared with both the outcome obtained from the commercial software Fastran and the experimental data.During the computing process,the Roe,AUSM＋（Advection Upstream Splitting Method）,and HLLC（Harten-Lax-van Leer-Contact）convective discrete schemes of which the spatial accuracy is 1st and 2nd order are utilized,respectively.The compared results show that the aerothermal variables are in agreement with results generated by Fastran and the experimental data even if the1st order spatial precision is implemented.Overall,the accuracy of these density-based solvers can meet the requirement of engineering and scientifc problems to capture aerothermal variables in diffusion boundary layer.     

Numerical investigation on hydrogen combustion in a scramjet with 3D sidewall compression inlet

Numerical simulations were employed to analyze the flowfield of a scramjet with three-dimensional (3D) sidewall compression inlet, and the effect of inlet distortion on the mixing and combustion process was examined. The numerical approach solved the compressible Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations supplemented with a finite rate chemical reacting model for the combustion of hydrogen fuel and air. Turbulence closure was achieved using Menter shear-stress transport (SST) model. To verify the accuracy of the simulation, the computed wall pressure was compared with the experimental data of the direct-connect combustor test. The metrics employed in the simulations included qualitative assessments related to flow structure as well as quantitative values of fuel mixing efficiency, combustion efficiency and static pressure distribution. Intake sidewalls were found to strongly affect the inlet flow structure, which became more complex in the nonuniform flowfield. The shock train system affected the combustion region located upstream of the injection and led to pairs of asymmetric separation bubbles. Nevertheless, the shock train system dissipated due to the reactions, the combustion patterns of each fuel jets in downstream region were nearly identical, and the degree of improvement of mixing and combustion efficiency near the downstream injectors was less than that near the upstream injectors.     

大幅运动复杂构形扑翼动态网格生成的一种新方法

 基于Delaunay图映射的动态网格生成方法无需迭代计算,效率高,稳定性好。但对大幅运动复杂构形的动边界问题,背景图容易交叉,重新生成背景图和重新定位网格点信息不仅费时而且会导致网格质量的严重下降。提出一种双重Delaunay图映射的动网格生成方法,通过在初始背景图中添加辅助点,生成虚实两种背景图和虚实两种映射关系。分别根据虚映射关系和虚背景图、实映射关系和实背景图,移动辅助点和网格点。几个复杂构形的扑翼算例表明,双重图映射方法多付出极少的内存代价即可避免背景图交叉引起的问题,提高了动网格生成的效率和质量,增强了处理大变形复杂动边界问题的强健性。     

A generative deep learning framework for airfoil flow field prediction with sparse data

Deep learning has been probed for the airfoil performance prediction in recent years.Compared with the expensive CFD simulations and wind tunnel experiments, deep learning models can be leveraged to somewhat mitigate such expenses with proper means. Nevertheless, effective training of the data-driven models in deep learning severely hinges on the data in diversity and quantity.

富勒襟翼外形的参数化建模及优化

富勒襟翼能够产生比普通单缝襟翼更大的升力增量,而且比双缝和多缝襟翼结构简单、活动部件少,更有利与气动优化,在现代民用飞机上有着越来越多的应用。本文使用二次曲线分段构造富勒襟翼的几何外形,使用SST-k-ω湍流模型对气动网格模型进行数值模拟,以此为基础优化襟翼的几何外形来提高襟翼的升力增量,并对襟翼外形优化前后的计算结果进行了分析。研究结果表明,通过优化富勒襟翼外形,可以提高襟翼头部的吸力峰值,进而提高对主翼环量诱导作用,使得两段翼型的升力系数增加。基于CFD流场显示,可以发现由于襟翼缝道流动对襟翼气流的分离起到抑制作用,因此随着两段翼型迎角的适当增加,反而可以改善襟翼上方气流的分离情况。     

CFD simulation of helicopter rotor flow based on unsteady actuator disk model

Actuator Disks (AD) can provide characterizations of rotor wakes while reducing computational expense associated with modeling the fully resolved blades. This work presents an unsteady actuator disk method based on surface circulation distribution combined with empirical data, blade element theory and rotor momentum theory. The nonuniform circulation distribution accounts for 3D blade load effects, and in particular, tip loses. Numerical simulations were conducted for the isolated pressure sensitive paint model rotor blade in hover and forward flight using the HMB3 CFD solver of Glasgow University. Validation of CFD results in comparison with published numerical data was performed in hover, for a range of blade pitch angles using fully turbulent flow and the k-ω SST model. In forward flight, the vortex structures predicted using the unsteady actuator disk model showed configurations similar to the ones obtained using fully resolved rotor blades. Despite the reduced grid cells number, the CFD results for AD models captured well the main vortical structures around the rotor disk in comparison to the fully resolved cases.
