AbstractIn this paper, unsteady process of ignition and combustion of turbulent plane-jet diffusion flame of ethylene/air is numerically simulated with detached eddy simulation (DES) and a reduced kinetic mechanism of ethylene. The kinetic mechanism consisting of 25 species and 131 steps is reduced from a 25 species/131 steps detailed mechanism via the method of error-propagation-based directed relation graph (DRGEP). The DES results of averaged temperature profiles at varied downstream locations are compared with the DNS results of Yoo et al. [

Simulation Results

The simple frigate shape (SFS) as defined by The Technical Co-operative Program (TTCP), is a simplified model of the frigate, which helps to investigate the basic flow fields of a frigate. In this paper, the flow fields of the different modified SFS models, consisting of a bluff body superstructure and the deck, were numerically studied. A parametric study was conducted by varying both the superstructure length L and width B to investigate the recirculation zone behind the hangar. The size and the position of the recirculation zones were compared between different models. The numerical simulation results show that the size and the location of the recirculation zone are significantly affected by the superstructure length and width. The results obtained by Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes method were also compared well with both the time averaged Improved Delayed Detached-Eddy Simulation results and the experimental data. In addition, by varying the model size and inflow velocity, various flow fields were numerically studied, which indicated that the changing of Reynolds number has tiny effect on the variation of the dimensionless size of the recirculation zone. The results in this study have certain reference value for the design of the frigate superstructure.

A numerical simulation method based on the improved delayed detached eddy simulation coupled with a discrete phase model is used to study the influence of the snow on the performance of bogies of a high-speed train running in snowy weather. The snow particle trajectories, mass of snow packing on the bogie, and thickness of snow accumulation have been analyzed to investigate the flow mechanisms of snow accumulation on different parts of the bogies. The results show that the snow accumulation on the first bogie of the head vehicle is almost the same as that of the second bogie, but the total accumulated snow on the top side of the second bogie is more than 74% higher than that of the first bogie. Among all the components of the bogies, the motors were found to be strongly influenced by the snow accumulation. The underlying flow mechanisms responsible for the snow accumulations are discussed.

This paper presents the results of a numerical study on the predictive capabilities of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and hybrid RANS/LES methods for heat transfer, mean velocity, and turbulence in a fundamental trailing edge slot. The geometry represents a landless slot (two-dimensional wall jet) with adjustable slot lip thickness. The reference experimental data taken from the publications of Kacker and Whitelaw [1] [2] [3] [4] contains the adiabatic wall effectiveness together with the velocity and the Reynolds-stress profiles for various blowing ratios and slot lip thicknesses. The simulations were conducted at three different lip thickness and several blowing ratio values. The comparison with the experimental data shows a general advantage of LES and hybrid RANS/LES methods against unsteady RANS. The predictive capability of the tested LES models (dynamic ksgs-equation [5] and WALE [6]) was comparable. The Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) hybrid method [7] also shows satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. In addition to the described baseline investigations, the influence of the inlet turbulence boundary conditions and their implication for the initial mixing layer and heat transfer development were studied for both LES and IDDES.

Abstract Vortex-induced motion (VIM) phenomenon is a great challenge for design and operation of offshore structures subjected to ocean flow. Semi-submersibles with three columns are often applied to the field of wind turbine, suffering VIM motions probably. In recent years, it is showed that many factors have more or less influence on VIM of platforms. A comparison of circular columns with square columns on VIM characteristics of three-column semisubmersibles is carried out using the detached eddy simulation (DES) method via Star-ccm+ software. This paper analyzes motions in the transverse direction and yaw, as well as fluid forces including drag force and fluctuating lift force. The results show that transverse amplitudes of semisubmersible with three square columns are much lower than those of semisubmersible with three circular columns at all incidences. Besides, the authors conclude that the semisubmersible with three square columns do not experience obvious resonance behavior, which is different from the semisubmersible with three circular columns. Besides, galloping phenomenon occurred at large reduced velocities at 0°-incidence for the semisubmersible with three square columns, which is likely not induced by lift force directly. Meanwhile, in these cases, yaw amplitudes are also larger than the others. This may be due to the galloping behavior, which is just a conjecture.

Numerical analysis of the flow in weapon bays modelled as open rectangular cavities of length-to-depth (L/D) ratio of 5 and width-to-depth (W/D) ratio of 1 with doors-on and doors-off is presented. Flow conditions correspond to Mach and Reynolds numbers (based on cavity length) of 0·85 and 6·783m respectively. Results from unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS), large-eddy simulation (LES) and detached-eddy simulation (DES) are compared with the simulation methods demonstrating the best prediction of this complex flow. It was found that URANS was not able to predict the change of flow characteristics between the doors-on and doors-off configurations. In addition, the energy content of the cavity flow modes was much better resolved with DES and LES. Further, the DES was found to be quite capable for this problem giving accurate results (within 3dB of) experiments and appears to be a promising alternative to LES for modelling massively separated flows.

This article describes a multiphase computational fluid dynamics–based numerical study of the aeroacoustics response of symmetric and asymmetric wind turbine blade profiles in both normal and icing conditions. Three different turbulence models (Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes, detached eddy simulation, and large eddy simulation) have been used to make a comparison of numerical results with the experimental data, where a good agreement is found between numerical and experimental results. Detached eddy simulation turbulence model is found suitable for this study. Later, an extended computational fluid dynamics–based aeroacoustics parametric study is carried out for both normal (clean) and iced airfoils, where the results indicate a significant change in sound levels for iced profiles as compared to clean.
