Research Abstract |
The present study is to refine and examine the unstructured-grid CFD (computational fluid dynamics) so as to use it as a practical engineering tool for analysis and design of fluid machineries. In the three-year research, the following results were obtained. (1) A new method to generate unstructured surface grid on the CAD-define model was developed. With this method, the pre-processing procedure of the unstructured-grid CFD was significantly simplified (2) An implicit time integration and a space marching solution algorithms were developed to reduce the computational time of the flow solver on unstructured grids. The applicability of the flow solver was also extended to combustion and incompressible flows. (3) A solution-adaptive refinement method coupled with a flow-feature detection was proposed. This method was demonstrated of its effectiveness for the high-alpha delta wings. (4) An overset unstructured grid method was proposed to compute flow around multiple bodies with relative motions. (5) The accuracy and usefulness of the unstructured-grid CFD were evaluated by applying it to wings, airplanes, SCRAM jet engines, cavity and rectangular-duct flows, and so on. These results met more than our expectations. The newly proposed algorithms during the research have already been recognized in the international academic conferences. Several new directions of the unstructured-grid CFD, such as optimization, were also commenced during this research.
