First, a calculation is carried out to validate the code, where both the instantaneous and statistical results show good agreement with the existing experimental data. Then the jet-mixing characteristics are analyzed. It is observed that the large-scale vortex on the windward portion of the jet boundary is formed mainly by the intermittent impingement of the incoming high-speed fluid on the relatively low-speed region of the upstream jet boundary, where the interaction between the upstream separated region and the jet supplies a favorable pressure condition for the sustaining acceleration of the high-speed fluid during the vortex forming, associated with which the incoming fluid is entrained into the jet boundary and large-scale mixing occurs. Meanwhile, the secondary recirculation zone between the upstream separated region and the jet is observed to develop evidently during the vortex forming, inducing the entrainment of jet fluid into the upstream separated region. Moreover, effects of the incoming boundary layer on the jet mixing are addressed.展开更多

To study the performance of the NLEVM, numerical simulations around S809 airfoil are carried out and the results show that the NLEVM performs much better when a large separation occurs. Calculated results of the flow around a triangular cylinder show that the NLEVM can improve the precision of the flow fields to some extents, but the error is still considerable, and the small turbulence structures can not be clearly captured as the EVM. Whereas the scalable hybrid RANS/LES model based on the NLEVM is fairy effective on resolving the turbulent structures and can give more satisfactory predictions of the flow fields.展开更多

At present, the very large eddy simulation (VLES) model commonly used for the separation flow simulation still has certain limitations in simulating such rotating separation flow: (1) The Reynolds stress level is overestimated in the near-wall region. (2) The influence of the rotating effect cannot be effectively considered. The above two limitations affect the simulation accuracy of the VLES model for the rotating separation flow under small flow conditions in the axial flow rotating machinery. The objective of this paper is to provide a new hybrid unsteady Reynolds average Navier-Stokes/large eddy simulation (URANS/LES) model suitable for the simulation of the rotating separation flow in an axial flow rotating machinery. Compared with the original VLES method, the modifications are as follows: (1) A Reynolds stress damping function in the near-wall region is introduced to reduce the overestimation of the Reynolds stress caused by the near-wall Reynolds average Navier-Stokes (RANS) behavior of the VLES model. (2) A control function driven by the vortex is introduced to reflect the influence of the rotating effect. Three typical cases are used to verify the calculation accuracy of the modified model. It is shown that the modified model can capture more turbulent vortices based on the URANS grids, and the prediction accuracy of the rotating separation flow is effectively improved. Compared with the original VLES model, the modified model can accurately predict the head change in the hump region of the axial flow pump.展开更多

The flow behaviors were discussed for the accelerating and decelerating phases during the oscillating cycle.
