Les Model

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 in the trailing edge (TE) geometry experimentally investigated in Part 1. The experimental validation data includes 2D wall contours and laterally-averaged values of adiabatic cooling effectiveness. The simulations were conducted at three different blowing ratio values. The comparison with the experimental data shows a general advantage of LES and hybrid RANS/LES methods against steady-state RANS. The results obtained by means of the WALE LES model and the Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) hybrid RANS/LES method were comparable. The presented grid dependence study shows the importance of adequate grid resolution for the predictive capabilities of trailing edge cooling LES. Furthermore, the importance of considering TE slot lands simulation quality in the numerical method assessment is discussed. Potential directions of future research needed to improve simulation reliability are outlined.

Les Model

This study was targeted at CX-PG-type Faiveley pantograph of high-speed train and cylinders and analysed the fluctuating flow field around these objects by using the large eddy simulation (LES) model, the scale adaptive simulation (SAS) model, the improved delayed detached eddy simulation with shear-stress transport-kω (IDDES sst-kω) model, the delayed detached eddy simulation with shear-stress transport-kω (DDES sst-kω) model, and the delayed detached eddy simulation with realizable-kε (DDES R-kε) model. The space distributions of velocity, vorticity, and vortex structures were compared to investigate their performances on simulating fluctuating flow fields and computing aeroacoustic sources through Fourier transformation based on the surface fluctuating pressures. Furthermore, the far-field radiated noise was calculated based on the Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings equation. Based on the computation precision of the five models, a feasible turbulent model was selected for simulating aerodynamic noise. The relative errors to the results from wind-tunnel experiments of the sound pressure level (SPL) were obtained as 0.7%, 1.6%, 7.8%, 3.8%, and 12.1%, respectively, and the peak Strouhal numbers were obtained as 2.0%, 8.5%, 5.5%, 11.5%, and 51.0% for cylinder simulation. Moreover, the relative errors of SAS, IDDES sst-kω, DDES sst-kω, and DDES R-kε models to the result from LES of SPL were respectively obtained as 2.3%, 4.5%, 5.6%, and 10.8% for pantograph. Thus, it is conclusive that none of the aforementioned models are comparable with the LES model with respect to the precision in the aeroacoustic simulation. However, SAS, IDDES sst-kω, and DDES sst-kω are practically competent with the LES model considering the numerical simulations with respect to the engineering computation precision. The numerical computation model was verified using the wind-tunnel test results.

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.

Asymmetrical Design

The structural design of the streamlined shape is the basis for high-speed train aerodynamic design. With use of the delayed detached-eddy simulation (DDES) method, the influence of four different structural types of the streamlined shape on aerodynamic performance and flow mechanism was investigated. These four designs were chosen elaborately, including a double-arch ellipsoid shape, a single-arch ellipsoid shape, a spindle shape with a front cowcatcher and a double-arch wide-flat shape. Two different running scenes, trains running in the open air or in crosswind conditions, were considered. Results reveal that when dealing with drag reduction of the whole train running in the open air, it needs to take into account how air resistance is distributed on both noses and then deal with them both rather than adjust only the head or the tail. An asymmetrical design is feasible with the head being a single-arch ellipsoid and the tail being a spindle with a front cowcatcher to achieve the minimum drag reduction. The single-arch ellipsoid design on both noses could aid in moderating the transverse amplitude of the side force on the tail resulting from the asymmetrical vortex structures in the flow field behind the tail. When crosswind is considered, the pressure distribution on the train surface becomes more disturbed, resulting in the increase of the side force and lift. The current study reveals that the double-arch wide-flat streamlined design helps to alleviate the side force and lift on both noses. The magnitude of side force on the head is 10 times as large as that on the tail while the lift on the head is slightly above that on the tail. Change of positions where flow separation takes place on the streamlined part is the main cause that leads to the opposite behaviors of pressure distribution on the head and on the tail. Under the influence of the ambient wind, flow separation occurs about distinct positions on the train surface and intricate vortices are generated at the leeward side, which add to the aerodynamic loads on the train in crosswind conditions. These results could help gain insight on choosing a most suitable streamlined shape under specific running conditions and acquiring a universal optimum nose shape as well.
