A computer code for solving the Reynolds-averaged full Navier–Stokes equations has been developed and applied using H- and C-type grids. The Baldwin–Lomax eddy-viscosity model is used for turbulence closure. The integration in time is based on an explicit four-stage Runge–Kutta scheme. Local time stepping, variable coefficient implicit residual smoothing, and a full multigrid method have been implemented to accelerate steady-state calculations. A grid independence analysis is presented for a transonic rotor blade. Comparisons with experimental data show that the code is an accurate viscous solver and can give very good blade-to-blade predictions for engineering applications.

Residual Smoothing

A Navier-Stokes time-accurate solver has been extended to the analysis of unsteady rotor-stator interaction. In the proposed method, a fully-implicit time discretization is used to remove stability limitations. A four-stage Runge-Kutta scheme is used in conjunction with several accelerating techniques typical of steady-state solvers, instead of traditional time-expensive factorizations. Those accelerating strategies include local time stepping, residual smoothing, and multigrid. Direct interpolation of the conservative variables is used to handle the interfaces between blade rows. Two-dimensional viscous calculations of unsteady rotor-stator interaction in a modern gas turbine stage are presented to check for the capability of the procedure.

Based on an artificial compressibility method, the explicit Runge-Kutta time stepping finite difference algorithm was applied to steady, incompressible, Navier-Stokes equations. A two-dimensional analysis computer code in a generalized curvilinear coordinate system was developed and its accuracy has been compared to known numerical solutions. The algorithm has been accelerated using our new Distributed Minimal Residual (DMR) method, which allows each equation in the system to advance in time with its own optimal speed. The effectiveness of the DMR method was examined for a number of test cases. The accelerated algorithm offers substantial savings of the computing time.

And Performance

A computer code predicting the flows through the centrifugal compressor with the radial vaneless diffuser was developed and applied to investigate the detailed flowfields, i.e., secondary flows and jet-wake type flow pattern in design and off-design conditions. Various parameters such as slip factors, aerodynamic blockages, entropy generation and two-zone modeling which are widely used in design and performance prediction, were discussed.A control volume method based on a general curvilinear coordinate system was used to solve the time-averaged Navier–Stokes equations and SIMPLER algorithm was used to solve the pressure linked continuity equation. The standardk-εturbulence model was used to obtain the eddy viscosity. Performance of the code was verified using the measured data for the Eckardt impeller.

Coherent Vortex Structure

The paper introduces an engineering method for assessing the aerodynamic effect of disturbed atmosphere on an aircraft. As a source of vortex structures, we can consider vortex wind wakes that arise when the atmospheric wind flows around the landscape, large structures, moving or stationary aircraft-carrying platforms, vortex wakes behind aircraft, etc. In this study, we consider the situation when a light transport aircraft and an aircraft of the MC-21 type get into the vortex wake behind the super-heavy aircraft A-380 when flying along the glide path. A coherent vortex structure behind the A-380 is formed by the grid method within the framework of the boundary value problem for the Reynolds-averaged Navier —Stokes equations. The evolution and stochastics of the far wake are carried out using the author’s computer code written in the MATLAB system, within the framework of discrete vortices with a Rankine core. The assessment of the increment of forces and moments from the effect of the vortex system on the aircraft was carried out using the panel method.

Navier Stokes Equations

Forced convection of water–Cu nanofluid in a two-dimensional microchannel is studied numerically. The microchannel wall is divided into three parts. The entry and exit ones are kept insulated while the middle one has more temperature than the inlet fluid. The whole of microchannel is under the influence of a magnetic field with uniform strength of B0. Slip velocity and temperature jump are involved along the microchannel walls for different values of slip coefficient such as B = 0.001, B = 0.01, and B = 0.1 for Re = 10, Re = 50, and Re = 100. Navier–Stokes equations are discretized and numerically solved by a developed computer code in FORTRAN. Results are presented as the velocity, temperature, and Nusselt number profiles. Moreover, the effect of magnetic field on slip velocity and temperature jump is investigated for the first time in the present work. Larger Hartmann number, Reynolds number, and volume fraction correspond to more heat transfer rate; however, the effects of Ha and ϕ are more significant at higher Re.
