Sst Turbulence Model

This paper presents a Computational Fluid Dynamic computation based on Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations (RANS) and the Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model. The targeted application is the cooling process of an electronic component, which is represented by a heated wall-mounted cube exposed to an impinging jet in cross flow. In a previously published study, it was shown that adding chamfers on top of the cube, the flow structure is radically changed in favor of a significant improvement in cooling efficiency. In an attempt to determine which of the four faces has the greatest contribution to improving cooling, this study presents a detailed numerical investigation for five different cases. Namely, a base cube without chamfer, a cube with four chamfers on its upper part, a cube with a chamfer on the front face, a cube with chamfer on the back face and finally a cube with chamfers on the side faces. For the same ReH = 3410 cross-flow Reynolds number, three levels of incident jets are tested as well as a jet-free case, which will serve as a reference case for comparison. Comparing the different cases, it has been found that the case of a chamfer on the front face is the most efficient and therefore contributes effectively to the improvement of the cooling efficiency

Performance Effects

This study describes the aerodynamic efficiency of a forebody–inlet configuration and computational investigation of a drone system, capable of sustainable supersonic cruising at Mach 1.60. Because the whole drone configuration is formed around the induction system and the design is highly interrelated to the flow structure of forebody and inlet efficiency, analysis of this section and understanding its flow pattern is necessary before any progress in design phases. The compression surface is designed analytically using oblique shock patterns, which results in a low drag forebody. To study the concept, two inlet–forebody geometries are considered for Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation using ANSYS Fluent code. The supersonic and subsonic performance, effects of angle of attack, sideslip, and duct geometries on the propulsive efficiency of the concept are studied by solving the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in structured cell domains. Comparing the results with the available data from other sources indicates that the aerodynamic efficiency of the concept is acceptable at supersonic and transonic regimes.

Solid System

This work is concerned with the modelling of the interaction of a fluid with a rigid or a flexible elastic cylinder in the presence of axial or cross-flow. A partitioned procedure is involved to perform the computation of the fully-coupled fluid solid system. The fluid flow is governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and modeled by using a fractional step scheme combined with a co-located finite volume method for space discretisation. The motion of the fluid domain is accounted for by a moving mesh strategy through an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation. Solid dyncamics is modeled by a finite element method in the linear elasticity framework and a fixed point method is used for the fluid solid system computation. In the present work two examples are presented to show the method robustness and efficiency.

The problem of Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) on spool and jumper geometries is known to present several drawbacks when approached with conventional engineering tools used in the study of VIV on risers. Current recommended practices can lead to over-conservatism that the industry needs to quantify and minimize within notably cost reduction objectives. Within this purpose, the paper will present a brief critical review of the Industry standards and more particularly focus on both experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) approaches. Both qualitative and quantitative comparisons between basin tests and CFD results for a 2D ‘M-shape’ spool model will be detailed. The results presented here are part of a larger experimental and numerical campaign which considered a number of current velocities, heading and geometry configurations. The vibratory response of the model will be investigated for one of the current velocities and compared with the results obtained through recommended practices (e.g. Shear7 and DNV guidelines). The strategy used by the software K-FSI to solve the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem is a partitioned coupling solver between fluid solver (FINE™/Marine) and structural solvers (ARA). FINE™/Marine solves the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations in a conservative way via the finite volume method and can work on structured or unstructured meshes with arbitrary polyhedrons, while ARA is a nonlinear finite element solver with a large displacement formulation. The experiments were conducted in the BGO FIRST facility located in La Seyne sur Mer, France. Particular attention was paid towards the model design, fabrication, instrumentation and characterization, to ensure an excellent agreement between the structural numerical model and the actual physical model. This included the use of a material with low structural damping, the performance of stiffness and decay tests in air and in still water, plus the rationalization of the instrumentation to be able to capture the response with the minimum flow perturbation or interaction due to instrumentation.

Dimensional Simulation

This work introduces an immersed boundary method for two-dimensional simulation of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The method uses flow field mapping on the immersed boundary and performs a contour integration to calculate immersed boundary forces. This takes into account the relative location of the immersed boundary inside the background grid elements by using inverse distance weights, and also considers the curvature of the immersed boundary edges. The governing equations of the fluid mechanics are solved using a Galerkin-Least squares finite element formulation. The model is validated against a stationary and a vertically oscillating circular cylinder in a cross flow. The results of the model show acceptable accuracy when compared to experimental and numerical results.

We do a direct two-dimensional finite-elment simulation of the Navier–Stokes equations and compute the forces which turn an ellipse settling in a vertical channel of viscous fluid in a regime in which the ellipse oscillates under the action of vortex shedding. Turning this way and that is induced by large and unequal values of negative pressure at the rear separation points which are here identified with the two points on the back face where the shear stress vanishes. The main restoring mechanism which turns the broadside of the ellipse perpendicular to the fall is the high pressure at the ‘stagnation point’ on the front face, as in potential flow, which is here identified with the one point on the front face where the shear stress vanishes.

Method Analysis

In this paper a numerical and experimental study of the effect of blowing/suction through a perforated surface on a turbulent boundary layer at a Mach number M = 1.4 is carried out. Most of the calculations were performed by Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the k-w SST turbulence model. The calculated geometry completely repeated the experimental one including the perforated surface. The numerical data were compared with experimental measurements obtained by the PIV method. Analysis of the data made it possible to find the limits of applicability of the numerical method for this flow.

Predictive Controller

In marine environments, sparse in-situ measurements can be used for the estimation of the fluid dynamic field. To make best use of a mobile sensor network in an environment whose dynamics can be described by the Navier-Stokes equations, we developed a framework for data assimilation with motion-constrained underwater vehicles, that takes the physical field properties into account while sampling. Our algorithm uses an ensemble Kalman filter that propagates hundreds of slightly varied coarse fluid dynamic simulations through time. Flow and scalar measurements from the mobile sensors are integrated into all ensemble members. We implemented a model predictive controller to calculate covariance minimizing paths from the estimated flow field and motion primitives of the vehicles, which are affected by a strong current. Thereby, we were able to indirectly track dynamically changing wall temperatures through measurements of flow field variables.

The geometrical optimization of dump diffusers are extremely demanding as the flow fields and stress fields are very complex and must be well understood to achieve the required design efficiencies. In this paper parametric analytical studies have been carried out for examining the aerodynamics characteristics of different dump diffusers for modern aircraft engines. Numerical studies have been carried out using SST K- ω turbulence model. This code solves SST k- ω turbulence equations using the coupled second order implicit unsteady formulation. In the numerical study, a fully implicit finite volume scheme of the compressible, Reynolds-Averaged, Navier-Stokes equations is employed. We concluded that in addition to the dump gap ratio, the aerodynamic shape of the flame tube case and the other geometric variables are also need to be optimized judiciously after considering the fluid dynamic constraints for controlling the pressure recovery and the losses.

Recirculation Zones

A numerical model based on a transformed, conservative form of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and an analytical model based on “lumped” fluid parameters are presented and compared with studies of modeled rotor/bearing/seal systems. The rotor destabilizing factors are related to the rotative character of the flow field. It is shown that these destabilizing factors can be reduced through a descrease in the fluid average circumferential velocity. However, the rotative character of the flow field is a complex three-dimensional system with bifurcated secondary flow patterns that significantly alter the fluid circumferential velocity. By transforming the Navier-Stokes equations to those for a rotating observer and using the numerical code PHOENICS-84 with a nonorthogonal body fitted grid, several numerical experiments were carried out to demonstrate the character of this complex flow field. In general, fluid injection and/or preswirl of the flow field opposing the shaft rotation significantly intensified these secondary recirculation zones and thus reduced the average circumferential velocity, while injection or preswirl in the direction of rotation significantly weakened these zones. A decrease in average circumferential velocity was related to an increase in the strength of the recirculation zones and thereby promoted stability. The influence of the axial flow was analyzed. The lumped model of fluid dynamic force based on the average circumferential velocity ratio (as opposed to the bearing/seal coefficient model) well described the obtained results for relatively large but limited ranges of parameters. This lumped model is extremely useful in rotor/bearing/seal system dynamic analysis and should be widely recommended. Fluid dynamic forces and leakage rates were calculated and compared with seal data where the working fluid was bromotrifluoromethane (CBrF3). The radial and tangential force predictions were in reasonable agreement with selected experimental data. Nonsynchronous perturbation provided meaningful information for system lumped parameter identification from numerical experiment data.

Small Positive Parameter

A macroscopic limit for a binary gas mixture in terms of the Boltzmann system with three small parameters: the Knudsen number, the Mach number and the diameter of particles, is considered in the whole physical space. When the small positive parameter ∊ goes to zero, it is shown that the Boltzmann system results in the compressible Euler equations decoupled with Navier–Stokes equations. In this first part of our paper, the results are of a conditional (formal) nature: both existence of a solution and existence of appropriate limits are assumed.
