UNSTEADY FLOW COMPUTATIONS OVER MOVING BODY USING DYNAMIC MESHES
An efficient implicit unstructured grid algorithm for solving unsteady inviscid compressible flows over moving body employing an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulation is presented. In the present formulation, the time discretization is performed using a second-order accurate 3-point time integration scheme and the upwind-biased space discretization using second-order accurate finite volume formulation with Venkatakrishnan limiter. The face-velocities of the control volumes are computed using Geometric Conservation Laws. The nonlinear system arising from the implicit formulation is solved using an ILU preconditioned Newton–Krylov iteration at every time step. The computed results for two test cases involving harmonically oscillating NACA0012 airfoil are presented in order to demonstrate the efficacy of the present solver.
