Comparison of Passive Control Methods on Cavity Aeroacoustic Using Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation

Delayed detached eddy simulation(DDES)is performed to investigate an open cavity at Ma0.85.Clean cavity and cavity with leading-edge saw tooth spoiler and flattop spoiler,are modeled.The results obtained from clean cavity prediction are compared with experimental sound pressure level(SPL)data from QinetiQ,UK.DDES results agree well with the experimental data.Furthermore,comparisons are made with the predicted SPL between the three configurations to find out the effect of different passive control methods.Both the spoilers can suppress the over-all SPL up to 8dB.The main focuses of this investigation are to exam the DDES method on cavity aeroacoustic analysis and test the noise suppression effect by saw tooth spoiler and flattop spoiler.

Complicated flow in tip flow field of a compressor tandem cascade using delayed detached eddy simulation

The complex flow characteristics in the tip region of a tandem cascade with tip clearance have been calculated and analyzed using Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation(DDES).The coherent mechanism of the vortex structures near the blade tip was discussed,and the unsteady behaviors and features in the tip flow field were analyzed.Additionally,the interaction between the tip leakage flow and the gap jet was revealed.The results show that,compared to the datum cascade,the blade tip load of the rear blade increases while that of the front blade decreases.Unsteady fluctuations of the tandem cascade are mainly caused by the interaction between the tip leakage flow and gap jet,and by the mixing of the vortex structures,but there is no essential change in the spectrum feature of the tip leakage flow.Finally,a detailed analysis of the development of vortices in the tip region is conducted by the topological structures of the flow field.Combined with the three-dimensional vortex structures,the schematic diagram of the vortex system of the datum single-row cascade and tandem cascade is summarized.

Scale effects on bow wave breaking of KCS ship model:Insights from DDES investigations

Ship bow wave breaking is a common phenomenon during navigation,involving complex multi-scale flow interactions.However,the understanding of this intense free surface flow issue is not sufficiently deep,especially regarding the lack of research on the impact of scale effects on bow wave breaking.This paper focuses on the benchmark ship model KCS and conducts numerical simulations and comparative analyses of bow wave breaking for three model scales under the condition of Fr=0.35.The numerical calculations were performed using the in-house computational fluid dynamics(CFD)solver naoe-FOAM-SJTU,which is developed on the open source platform OpenFOAM.Delayed detached eddy simulation(DDES)method is utilized to calculate the viscous flow field around the ship hull.The present method was validated through measurement data of wave profiles and wake flows obtained from model tests.Flow field results for three different scales,including bow wave profiles,vorticity at various sections,and wake distribution,were presented and analyzed.The results indicate that there is small difference in the bow wave overturning and breaking for the first two occurrences across different scales.However,considerable effects of scale are observed on the temporal and spatial variations of the free surface breaking pattern after the second overturning.The findings of this study can serve as valuable data references for the analysis of scale effects in ship bow wave breaking phenomena.

Vortex structures of dynamic pure yaw test using DDES approach and vortex identification method

Considered as the building blocks,vortex structures with variety of sizes and intensity are widely recognized in the viscous flow field around ship.In this paper,the computational fluid dynamics(CFD)solver,naoe-FOAM-SJTU,coupled with delayed detached-eddy simulation(DDES)is adopted to analyze the vortex structures around the benchmark model Yupeng Ship in dynamic pure yaw tests,which are captured by third generation of vortex identification method.The good agreement of the predicted force/moment by DDES method with the experimental data indicates that the present numerical schemes are reliable and robust.Three vortex identification methods,Q-criteria,Ω_(R) and Liutex,are used to capture the vortex structures around the hull.The large separated flow is able to be investigated by these three methods,in which more vortex structures are captured byΩ_(R) approach and Liutex method with scalar,vector and tensor form seems to be more suitable for analyzing the flow mechanism around the hull in dynamic pure yaw test.In general,each vortex structure corresponds to a dominant positive/negative axial Liutex and a bound vortex pair.The streamlines are spiral in the large separated flow,indicating that the flow in corresponding region is rotational.But the rotation of the flow is not directly related to the intensity of Liutex.

Numerical investigation of the influence of vortex generator on propeller cavitation and hull pressure fluctuation by DDES

In this study,the delayed detached eddy simulation(DDES)is coupled with a homogenous cavitation model to simulate the cavitating turbulent flow around a propeller behind a full body ship with special emphasis on the influence of the vortex generator(VG)on the propeller cavitation and the hull pressure fluctuation.The small calculation uncertainty as evaluated by the DDES verification and validation(V&V)method indicates that the present simulation can accurately reproduce the propeller performance and cavitation,and the predicted hull pressure fluctuation is in a fairly good agreement with the available experimental data.The mechanism is explored through the current numerical results how the VG affects the local velocity distribution,along with the influences of the VG on the propeller cavitation and the hull pressure fluctuation.It is shown that the streamwise vortex is induced by the VG near the hull boundary layer.The very low velocity region in the hull wake is reduced due to the effect of the streamwise vortex.Besides,the propeller cavitation develops more mildly and the hull pressure fluctuation decreases due to the influence of the VG.

Numerical study of air cavity characteristics of bow wave breaking of KCS ship under different speeds

Ship bow wave breaking contains complex flow mechanism,which is very important for ship performance.In this study,a practical numerical simulation scheme for bow wave breaking is proposed and the scheme is applied to the simulation of bow wave breaking of KCS ship model with Fr=0.26,0.30,0.35,0.40,analyzing the impact of speed on the bow wave breaking.The results indicate that an increase in speed leads to a significant rise in viscous pressure resistance and more pronounced bow wave breaking.Moreover,it is found that the traditional wave height function in OpenFOAM is not suitable for detailed studies of bow wave breaking.This study extracts different free surfaces through top and bottom views to further analyze the free surface overturning,droplet splashing,and cavity entrainment in bow wave breaking.Additionally,the spatial and temporal distribution of cavities at Fr=0.40 is analyzed,revealing that cavity distribution is closely related to vortex structures and exhibits a periodic pulsation characteristic of approximately 12 s.
