A low Mach number preconditioning method has been implemented in commercial computational fluid dynamics software, CFD-FASTRAN. The preconditioning technique offers a way to formulate the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations such that convergences can be made independent of Mach number. This enhancement is shown to provide accurate steady/unsteady state solutions for transonic and low-speed flow through several test cases.

The approach of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANS) for the modeling of turbulent flows is reviewed. The subject is mainly considered in the limit of incompressible flows with constant properties. After the introduction of the concept of Reynolds decomposition and averaging, different classes of RANS turbulence models are presented, and, in particular, zero-equation models, one-equation models (besides a half-equation model), two-equation models (with reference to the tensor representation used for a model, both linear and nonlinear models are considered), stress-equation models (with reference to the pressure-strain correlation, both linear and nonlinear models are considered) and algebraic-stress models. For each of the abovementioned class of models, the most widely-used modeling techniques and closures are reported. The unsteady RANS approach is also discussed and a section is devoted to hybrid RANS/large methods.

Abstract— The linear and nonlinear stages of disturbance development in the supersonic boundary layer over a 10° expansion corner is investigated numerically within the framework of Navier—Stokes equations for Mach number 3. The effect of sudden flow expansion on the disturbance evolution is analyzed. The flow stabilization effect observable in the aerodynamic experiment is also discussed.

Splitter blades located between stator blades in a single-stage axial compressor were proposed and investigated in this work to find their effects on aerodynamic performance and operating stability. Aerodynamic performance of the compressor was evaluated using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the k-e turbulence model with a scalable wall function. The numerical results for the typical performance parameters without stator splitter blades were validated in comparison with experimental data. The numerical results of a parametric study using four geometric parameters (chord length, coverage angle, height and position) of the stator splitter blades showed that the operational stability of the single-stage axial compressor enhances remarkably using the stator splitter blades. The splitters were effective in suppressing flow separation in the stator domain of the compressor at near-stall condition which affects considerably the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.
