A LOCALLY IMPLICIT SCHEME FOR TURBULENT FLOWS ON DYNAMIC MESHES

Abstract

A locally implicit scheme with an anisotropic dissipation model is developed on dynamic quadrilateral-triangular meshes. The unsteady Favre-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with moving domain effects and a low-Reynolds-number k  − ε turbulence model are solved to study turbulent flows over vibrating blades with negative interblade phase angle. A treatment of viscous flux on quadrilateral-triangular mesh is also presented. To assess the accuracy of the locally implicit scheme with anisotropic dissipation model on quadrilateral-triangular mesh, the turbulent flow around an NACA 0012 airfoil is investigated. Based on the comparison with the experimental data, the accuracy of the present approach is confirmed. From the distributions of magnitude of the first harmonic dynamic pressure difference coefficient which includes the present solution and the related experimental and numerical results, it is found that the present solution approach is reliable and acceptable. The unsteady flow behaviors for turbulent flows over vibrating blades with negative interblade phase angle are demonstrated.
