Nonparallel stability of the compressible boundary layers for three-dimensional configurations having large curvature variation on the surface is investigated by using the parabolic stability equations, which are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations in the curvilinear coordinate system. The difference schemes with fourth-order accuracy can be used in the entire computational regions. The global method is combined with the local method using a new iterative formula, thus more precise eigenvalues are obtained, and fast convergences are achieved. Computed curves of the amplification factor and shape functions of disturbances show clearly variable process of the flow stability, and agree well with other available results.

A novel structured grid approach which provides an efficient way of treating a class of complex geometries is proposed. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are formulated in a two-dimensional, generalized curvilinear coordinate system complemented by a third quasi-curvilinear coordinate. By keeping all two-dimensional planes defined by constant third coordinate values parallel to one another, the proposed approach significantly reduces the memory requirement in fully three-dimensional geometries, and makes the computation more cost effective. The formulation can be easily adapted to an existing flow solver based on a two-dimensional generalized coordinate system coupled with a Cartesian third direction, with only a small increase in computational cost. The feasibility and efficiency of the present method have been assessed in a simulation of flow over a tapered cylinder.

The capabilities of the triple-deck theory of receptivity for subsonic compressible boundary layers have been thoroughly investigated through comparisons with numerical simulations of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. The analysis focused on the two Tollmien–Schlichting wave linear receptivity problems arising due to the interaction between a low-amplitude acoustic wave and a small isolated roughness element, and the low-amplitude time-periodic vibrations of a ribbon placed on the wall of a flat plate. A parametric study was carried out to look at the effects of roughness element and vibrating ribbon longitudinal dimensions, Reynolds number, Mach number and Tollmien–Schlichting wave frequency. The flat plate is considered isothermal, with a temperature equal to the laminar adiabatic-wall temperature. Numerical simulations of the full and the linearised compressible Navier–Stokes equations have been carried out using high-order finite differences to obtain, respectively, the steady basic flows and the unsteady disturbance fields for the different flow configurations analysed. The results show that the asymptotic theory and the Navier–Stokes simulations are in good agreement. The initial Tollmien–Schlichting wave amplitudes and, in particular, the trends indicated by the theory across the whole parameter space are in excellent agreement with the numerical results. An important finding of the present study is that the behaviour of the theoretical solutions obtained for $\mathit{Re}\rightarrow \infty$ holds at finite Reynolds numbers and the only conditions needed for the theoretical predictions to be accurate are that the receptivity process be linear and the free-stream Mach number be subsonic.

Three-dimensional spatially growing perturbations in a two-dimensional compressible boundary layer are considered within the scope of linearized Navier–Stokes equations. The Cauchy problem is solved under the assumption of a finite growth rate of the disturbances. It is shown that the solution can be presented as an expansion into a biorthogonal eigenfunction system. The result can be used in a decomposition of flow fields derived from computational studies when pressure, temperature, and all the velocity components, together with some of their derivatives, are available. The method can also be used if partial data are available when a priori information may be utilized in the decomposition algorithm.

The paper considers the regularity problem on three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in general orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. We establish one regularity criteria of the weak solutions involving only in a vorticity component ω 3 and one a priori estimate on the solution that H 3 u 3 L ∞ 0 , T ; L p ℝ 3 is bounded for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ to three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. These extent greatly the corresponding results on axisymmetric cylindrical flow.

AbstractA high-order numerical method for three-dimensional hydrodynamics is presented. The present method applies high-order compact schemes in space and a Runge-Kutta scheme in time to solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the k-ε turbulence model in an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. In addition, a two-dimensional equation is derived from the depth-averaged momentum equations to predict the water level. The proposed method is first validated by its application to simulate flow in a 180° curved laboratory flume. It is found that the simulated results agree with measurements and are better than those from SIMPLEC algorithm. Then the method is applied to study three-dimensional hydrodynamics in a natural river, and the simulated results are in accordance with measurements.

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.

A three-dimensional numerical study of a single droplet splashing vertically on a liquid film is presented. The numerical method is based on the finite volume method (FVM) of Navier–Stokes equations coupled with the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and the adaptive local mesh refinement technology is adopted. It enables the liquid–gas interface to be tracked more accurately, and to be less computationally expensive. The relationship between the diameter of the free rim, the height of the crown with different numbers of collision Weber, and the thickness of the liquid film is explored. The results indicate that the crown height increases as the Weber number increases, and the diameter of the crown rim is inversely proportional to the collision Weber number. It can also be concluded that the dimensionless height of the crown decreases with the increase in the thickness of the dimensionless liquid film, which has little effect on the diameter of the crown rim during its growth.
