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.

Hybrid URANS/LES Method of Flow Fields in Axial-flow Compressor Rotor Rotor

Accurate and efficient prediction of the aerodynamic performance and flow details of axial-flow com-pressors is of great engineering application value for the aerodynamic design and flow control of axial-flow compres-sors.In this work,a delayed detached eddy simulation method is developed and applied to numerically simulate the tur-bulent channel flow and the aerodynamic performance of NASA Rotor 35.Several acceleration techniques including parallel implementation are also used to speed up the iteration convergence.The mean velocity distribution and Reyn-olds stress distribution in the boundary layer of turbulent channel flow and the aerodynamic performance curve of NASA Rotor 35 are predicted.The good agreement between the present delayed detached eddy simulation results and the available direct numerical simulation results or experimental data confirms the effectiveness of the developed meth-od in the accurate and efficient prediction of complex flow in turbomachinery.

Effect of low operating temperature on the aerodynamic characteristics of a high-speed train

In this study,an improved delayed detached eddy simulation(IDDES)method based on the shear-stress transport(SST)k-ωturbulence model has been used to investigate the underbody flow characteristics of a high-speed train operating at lower temperatures with Reynolds number Re=1.85×10^(6).The accuracy of the numerical method has been validated by wind tunnel tests.The aerodynamic drag of the train,pressure distribution on the surface of the train,the flow around the vehicle,and the wake flow are compared for four temperature values:+15℃,0℃,−15℃,and−30℃.It was found that lower operating t emperatures significantly increased the aerodynamic drag force of the train.The drag overall at low temperatures increased by 5.3%(0℃),11.0%(−15℃),and 17.4%(−30℃),respectively,relative to the drag at+15℃.In addition,the low temperature e nhances the positive and negative pressures around and on the surface of the car body,raising the peak positive and negative pressure values in areas susceptible to impingement flow and to rapid changes in flow velocity.The range of train-induced winds around the car body is significantly reduced,the distribution area of vorticity moves backwards,and the airflow velocity in the bogie cavity is significantly increased.At the same time,the temperature causes a significant velocity reduction in the wake flow.It can be seen that the temperature reduction can seriously disturb the normal operation of the train while increasing the aerodynamic drag and energy consumption,and significantly interfering with the airflow characteristics around the car body.

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.

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.

Unsteady aerodynamic performance of a maglev train:the effect of the ground condition

The effect of ground condition on unsteady aerodynamic performance of a maglev train was numerically investigated with an IDDES(Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation) method. The accuracy of the numerical method has been validated by wind tunnelexperiments. The flow structure, slipstream and aerodynamic force around the train under stationary and moving ground conditionswere compared. Track and ground play a leading role in the influence of wake vortex structure;the flow structure around the trainis more complex under the stationary ground boundary condition. Near the nose point of the head and tail vehicles, the peak valueof the slipstream under the condition of moving ground is slightly higher than that under stationary ground. In the wake area, theeffect of themain vortex structure on both sides of the tail vehicle and the trackmakes the vortex structure in the wake area strongerthan that under moving ground, the slipstream peak is larger and the locus thereof is further forward. In the horizontal direction, thevortex desorption energy near the nose tip of the train is higher on stationary ground, while the vortex desorption energy far fromthe nose tip of the train is higher on moving ground. Compared with the static ground boundary condition, the resistance coefficientof the head and tail of a maglev train increases by 3.45% and 3.31% respectively under the moving ground boundary condition. Thelift coefficient decreases by 157.78% and 5.13%, respectively.
