  1. Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics Course Notes (CFD 4) Karthik Duraisamy Department of Aerospace Engineering University of Glasgow

  2. Contents • Introduction (1.5) • Classification of PDE, Model equations (1.5) • Finite difference methods:  Spatial discretization (3)  Temporal discretization (2)  Convergence, Consistency, Stability (2) • Grids/Boundary conditions (1) • Euler equations (1) • RANS Equations and Turbulence modeling (2) • DNS/LES (1) • Best practices in CFD (1) • Case studies/Demonstrations (3) (.) – Approximate number of lectures

  3. CASE STUDIES

  4. Best practices in CFD • Selection of Problem/model/numerical method • Feasibility study of computation • Identifying physics and required resolution in different parts of the mesh • Grid convergence • Time step convergence (unsteady) • Verification/Validation • COMMENT YOUR CODE!!! 

  5. What do you plot? • Line graphs (x vs Cp) • Contours (Velocity magnitude in a section) • Iso-surfaces (Vorticity magnitude) • Streamtraces (Streamlines) • Spectra (Energy spectra)

  6. CASE STUDY – 1

  7. Fixed wing validation • M=0.15, Re=4.5x106, α=10o, AR=0.75, rounded tip. • Extensive mean and turbulence measurements by Chow et. al. [1997] • Surface (pressure tabs) and wake measurement (pressure probes and hot wires) up to 0.68c. • Resolution good enough to compare flow viz with numerics.

  8. Surface pressure distribution y/c=0.667 y/c=0.583 φ=45o φ=90o φ

  9. Axial Velocity (x/c=-0.394) Computation Experiment

  10. Axial Velocity (x/c=-0.114) Experiment Computation

  11. Axial Velocity (x/c=0.005) Experiment Computation

  12. Axial Velocity (x/c=0.678) Computation Experiment

  13. RANS/Inviscid Comparison Swirl velocity

  14. CASE STUDY - 2

  15. Why study tip vortices?

  16. Application of Spanwise blowing • Baseline test case of Heyes et al. (Imperial college): • AR=1, NACA0012 wing section, α=7.5o, M=0.1, Re=2.2x105. • Spanwise blowing: Velocity measurements x/c=1 downstream of trailing edge. • Blowing co-efficient

  17. Validation: Baseline case, x/c=1

  18. Blowing test cases

  19. Validation: Blowing case C1, x/c=1

  20. Physics of control Axial Vorticity x/c=0.21 (from l.e.) Freestream direction

  21. Case C1: x/c=-0.95

  22. Case C1: x/c=-0.85

  23. Case C1: x/c=-0.75

  24. Case C1: x/c=-0.45

  25. Case C1: x/c=-0.25

  26. Case C1: x/c=-0.1

  27. Case C1: x/c=1.0

  28. Blowing case C1

  29. Blowing case C1

  30. Different blowing rates Core radius Peak swirl velocity Effectiveness of blowing: weak function of blowing angle

  31. CASE STUDY -3 Some thoughts from “30 years of Development and Application of CFD at Boeing” - Johnson et al., Computers and Fluids.

  32. Role of CFD • CFD has joined wind tunnel and flight testing as primary tool • Flight testing : Too expensive, but real data • Wind tunnel : Good flight envelope, accurate, but low Re, but effect of mounting, walls, not enough detail • CFD : Inexpensive, used in optimization, extrapolation of tunnel data to flight conditions and detailed understanding, but somewhat inaccurate. CFD : Very useful in design of high speed cruise configuration of full transport aircraft

  33. Well..
