Gap Resonance

This paper compares numerical and experimental results in the study of the resonance phenomenon which appears between two side-by-side fixed barges for different sea-states. Simulations were performed using SWENSE (Spectral Wave Explicit Navier-Stokes Equations) approach and results are compared with experimental data on two fixed barges with different headings and bilges. Numerical results, obtained using the SWENSE approach, are able to predict both the frequency and the magnitude of the RAO functions.

Blade Flutter

During the design of the compressor and turbine stages of today’s aeroengines, aerodynamically induced vibrations become increasingly important since higher blade load and better efficiency are desired. In this paper the development of a method based on the unsteady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions is described in order to study the physics of flutter for unsteady viscous flow around cascaded vibrating blades at stall. The governing equations are solved by a finite difference technique in boundary fitted coordinates. The numerical scheme uses the Advection Upstream Splitting Method to discretize the convective terms and central differences discretizing the viscous terms of the fully non-linear Navier-Stokes equations on a moving H-type mesh. The unsteady governing equations are explicitly and implicitly marched in time in a time-accurate way using a four stage Runge-Kutta scheme on a parallel computer or an implicit scheme of the Beam-Warming type on a single processor. Turbulence is modelled using the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model. The blade flutter phenomenon is simulated by imposing a harmonic motion on the blade, which consists of harmonic body translation in two directions and a rotation, allowing an interblade phase angle between neighboring blades. Non-reflecting boundary conditions are used for the unsteady analysis at inlet and outlet of the computational domain. The computations are performed on multiple blade passages in order to account for nonlinear effects. A subsonic massively stalled unsteady flow case in a compressor cascade is studied. The results, compared with experiments and the predictions of other researchers, show reasonable agreement for inviscid and viscous flow cases for the investigated flow situations with respect to the Steady and unsteady pressure distribution on the blade in separated flow areas as well as the aeroelastic damping. The results show the applicability of the scheme for stalled flow around cascaded blades. As expected the viscous and inviscid computations show different results in regions where viscous effects are important, i.e. in separated flow areas. In particular, different predictions for inviscid and viscous flow for the aerodynamic damping for the investigated flow cases are found.

Singular Boundary Method

The paper presents the use of the dual reciprocity multidomain singular boundary method (SBMDR) for the solution of the laminar viscous flow problem described by Navier-Stokes equations. A homogeneous part of the solution is solved using a singular boundary method with the 2D Stokes fundamental solution - Stokeslet. The dual reciprocity approach has been chosen because it is ideal for the treatment of the nonhomogeneous and nonlinear terms of Navier-Stokes equations. The presented SBMDR approach to the solution of the 2D flow problem is demonstrated on a standard benchmark problem - lid-driven cavity.

Tube Banks

A scheme for handling the numerical analysis of viscous flow and heat transfer in tube banks is presented. It involves the use of a cylindrical network of nodes in the vicinity of the tubes with a Cartesian mesh covering the remainder of the flow domain. The approach has been incorporated into the numerical solving algorithm for the Navier Stokes equations of Gasman, et al. [8]. A number of demonstration calculations is presented including a numerical simulation of the staggered square bank for which Bergelin and co-workers [4, 9] have reported experimental results for pressure drop and heat transfer rate. Agreement between predicted and measured characteristics is satisfactory when account is taken of end and entry effects that are present in the experiments but necessarily omitted from the calculations. Indeed the close agreement of the laminar predictions with measurements extends to Reynolds numbers in excess of 1000, a level at which it has hitherto been supposed that turbulent motion in the fluid made a substantial contribution to friction and heat transfer.
