The large eddy simulation of turbulent flow around a rectangular cylinder with side ratios of 1.0, 2.0, 2.67, and 3.0 at Re = 22000, is carried out using an overset grid system. In order to improve mass conservation along the boundary of computational domains, numerical procedures are proposed. The aerodynamic forces of rectangular cylinders can be predicted numerically. Details of pressure distributions along the side surface of the cylinder and turbulence structures in the wake is discussed, because there is a difference in accuracy of computational results in terms of the side ratio.

Aerodynamic Performances

The present study aims at evaluating the feasibility and the accuracy of the Large-Eddy Simulation of an actual high-pressure multistage compressor, performed with the TurboAVBP numerical method. TurboAVBP relies on the coupling of several domains via an overset grid method. The latter is demonstrated to keep the order of accuracy of the numerical scheme across six successive rotor-stator interfaces. The simulated configuration corresponds to the 3.5 stage axial compressor CREATE. Three unstructured grids of CREATE, with different resolutions, are generated. They contain 37 blades, the actual rotor tip clearances and a recirculating cavity. The predictions of the global aerodynamic performances and of the radial profiles are found to agree well with experimental data. The analysis of the flow shows that the finest grid exhibits the turbulent flow structures expected in such a configuration, including the blade and vane wakes and the rotor tip leakage vortices.

This study examines the dynamics of turbulent flow in the wake of a turning ship using the large eddy simulation (LES) technique. LES is applied in conjunction with a random flow generation (RFG) technique originally developed at West Virginia University to provide unsteady inflow boundary conditions. As the ship is turning, the effects of the Coriolis and centrifugal forces on vortical structures are included. The effects of the Coriolis force on the flow-field are assessed and a grid sensitivity study is performed. The predicted turbulence structures are analyzed and compared with the wake of a non-turning ship.
