Abnormal changes of dynamic derivatives at low reduced frequencies

A number of studies have found that abnormal changes of dynamic derivatives occurred at very low reduced frequencies, but its inducement mechanism is not very clear. This paper has researched the abnormal changes and analyzed the influence on some parameters by solving the unsteady flow around forced oscillation airfoils based on Navier-Stokes equations. Results indicate that when the reduced frequency approaches to zero, the dynamic derivatives obtained by the numerical method will diverge. We have also proven it in theory that this phenomenon is not physical but completely caused by numerical singularity. Furthermore, the abnormal phenomenon can be effectively mitigated by using the time spectral method to solve the aerodynamic forces and the integral method to obtain the dynamic derivatives. When the reduced frequency is in the range of 0.001–0.01, the dynamic derivative maintains nearly unchanged for the whole speed region. This study can provide a reference for the reasonable choice of the reduced frequency in calculations and experiments of dynamic derivatives.     

不同迎角下脊形前体绕流数值模拟研究

脊形前体有较强的背风涡流场,不同的前体形状对前体涡流场和气动力有很大的影响。本文针对脊形前体飞行器大迎角湍流大分离流动计算的困难,采用IDDES混合湍流模型,以及与之匹配的非定常算法,研究了不同来流迎角下脊形前体的气动特性,以及背风涡非定常演化、破裂的细致流动结构。选取了不同脊形角,以及不同上、下高宽比的脊形前体进行计算。计算结果表明,在迎角较小时,随着迎角的增大,前体主涡会逐渐增强,在迎角较大时,前体主涡破裂;在相同迎角下,脊形角较小时,前体涡较强,涡升力也更大;对于相同脊形角的前体,当上半截面高宽比较小时,前体主涡强度较大,前体涡破裂临界迎角较小,即会提前破裂。     

Numerical investigation on flow nonuniformity-induced hysteresis in scramjet isolator

Numerical simulation and theoretical analysis were conducted to study the hysteresis inside scramjet isolator during the reciprocating process of back pressure variation. It is revealed that only a regular reflection is theoretically possible for two leading shocks when the inflow Mach number is greater than 2.0, and no hysteresis can occur in the transition between shock reflection types. Nevertheless, wall suction, gas injection, and background waves cause non-uniformity of the incoming flow and would make hysteresis possible. Besides the classical hysteresis in the transition between shock reflection, new kinds of hysteresis were found in both the deflection angle of separated boundary layer and the location of the shock train. Moreover, the occurrence of hysteresis in the deflection angle of the separated boundary layer is accompanied with the shock reflection hysteresis. In the case with background waves or gas injection, hysteresis in the starting position of leading shock was observed too. As back pressure decreases, the leading shock does not follow the same path as that as the back pressure increases, and it is anchored at the location where the background shock or the injection interacts with the leading shock. It is inferred that, if two strong adverse pressure gradient regions move towards and interact with each other, hysteresis will take place when they start to separate.     

Flow mechanism between purge flow and mainstream in different turbine rim seal configurations

The rim seal is used to prevent mainstream ingestion to the gap between the vane of a turbine and its blade. In this article, the dolphin lip with a hook configuration and a large seal cavity with hook structures are designed based on the high-pressure turbine datum single shark lip rim seal configuration. The sealing effect and parameters of the flow field are measured by an experiment method and a numerical simulation is used to explain the mechanism. For three configurations, the effect of the leakage slot vortex on the efficiency of the seal and the influence of leakage vortex, generated by the interaction between purge flow and mainstream flow, are discussed in depth. The result shows that the reverse vortex formed by the dolphin lip rim seal with hook structure will increase the sealing efficiency. The seal configuration with a large cavity improves sealing efficiency to a greater extent than the datum structure. At different purge flow rates and with unequal seal structures, the purge flow produces three types of leakage vortices in the passage. Besides, the seal configuration with dolphin lip produces a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at the interface of the purge and the mainstream flows at a low purge flow rate to induce new leakage vortex branches in the passage of the blade.     

Alfvén gravity waves in viscous solar plasma: Effect of the background flow

We study the Propagation and damping properties of Alfvén gravity waves in the presence of the vertical magnetic field in the viscous solar plasma under influence of the background flow by deriving a fourth order dispersion relation in terms of the Doppler shifted frequency. We derive the dispersion relation under WKB and Boussinesq approximation. We study the damping of Alfvén gravity waves for the wave frequencies less than and greater than the Brunt-Väisälä frequency. We find that the Brunt-Väisälä frequency divides the frequency ranges where the weakly or strongly damped oscillations occur. The background flow exhibits a strong effect on weakly damped oscillations and a weak effect on the strongly damped oscillations. We also notice that the damping of both the strong and weakly damped oscillations depend on the Brunt-Väisälä frequency and wave number. The effect of the background flow is also being governed by the Brunt-Väisälä frequency and wave number. We also study the properties of gravity wave mode after filtering the Alfvén wave mode by minimizing the magnetic field and noticed that the background flow shows a very strong effect on the gravity wave mode.

Laminar flow control research at TsAGI: Past and present

This paper presents a brief review of activities in laminar flow control being performed at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after Prof. N.E. Zhukovsky (TsAGI). These efforts are focused on the improvement of the existing laminar flow control methods and on the development of new ones. The investigations have demonstrated the effectiveness of aircraft surface laminarization applications with the aim of friction drag reduction. The opportunity of considerable delaying of laminar-turbulent transition due to special wing profile geometry and using boundary layer suction and surface cooling has been verified at sub- and supersonic speeds through various wind tunnel testing at TsAGI and during flying laboratory experiments at the Flight Research Institute (LII). The investigations on using hybrid laminar flow control systems for friction drag reduction were also carried out. New techniques of laminar flow control were proposed, in particular, the method of local heating of the wing leading edge, boundary layer laminarization by means of receptivity control, and electrohydrodynamic methods of boundary layer stability control.     

带自由表面水流的分离涡模拟

目前水动力学问题的数值求解仍然广泛采用RANS模型,特别对于大尺度的地表水流的数值模拟,该类模型计算效率较高,但其难以给出湍流场的小尺度涡结构.深入研究复杂地形条件下的水流运动,需要发展诸如LES等的高级数值模型.天然地表水流,地形、边界复杂,雷诺数通常较高,高级数值模拟受限于计算能力的限制,还难以工程应用.RANS和LES混合模型是目前具有工程应用的一种混合数值模型,其已经在CFD领域获得了长足发展.然而对于地表水流运动的数值模拟,相关工作还较少.本文将分离涡模型(DES),即一种RANS和LES的混合模型,应用于带自由表面的地表水流运动,建立了一套数值仿真模型.模型基于有限体积法,水平面内采用非结构计算网格,垂向为结构化网格,对流项离散格式采用二阶TVD格式,并行基于OpenMP语言库.算例表明DES模型有助于揭示复杂地形条件下带自由表面水流的大涡拟序结构.     

基于非结构网格的不可压N-S方程多矩有限体积法

提出了一种基于三角形及四面体非结构网格的有限体积法(FVM),用以鲁棒且精确地求解不可压粘性流动问题.与传统的FVM方法仅将体积分平均值(VIA)作为计算变量的做法不同,本文提出的方法将VIA及点值(PV)同时作为计算变量并在每个迭代步进行计算更新.VIA以通量形式进行计算以确保数值守恒,PV可以通过控制方程的不同形式进行求解更新,无需守恒,因此可以采用非常高效的方法进行求解.将PV作为增加的变量使得紧致网格模板得以实现更高阶精度的重构,而且由此获得的数值模型对于非结构网格变得更鲁棒.本文针对二维/三维的三角形/四面体非结构网格提出了数值格式,给出了几个基准测试算例,验证了本文提出的数值方法在采用非结构网格求解不可压粘性流动问题时的精确性和鲁棒性.
