Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of engineering fluid mechanics calculation, and in particular to a grid adaptive turbulence simulation method based on turbulence energy spectrum coupled V2-F series models. Background Art

[0002] Turbulence is ubiquitous in nature and engineering. Accurate prediction of turbulence is a major challenge in studying complex flow problems. Taking the internal flow of fluid machinery as an example, its flow structure is very complex, and there are widespread complex turbulent flow phenomena such as multi-scale, nonlinear, and unsteady. These complex turbulences have a great impact on the performance of fluid machinery. Therefore, in engineering design, it is urgent to develop turbulence simulation methods with high prediction accuracy and high computational efficiency, so that they can accurately simulate turbulent flows in complex engineering problems such as the internal flow of fluid machinery.

[0003] The turbulence simulation method commonly used in existing engineering projects is mainly based on solving the Reynolds-averaged NS equations (RANS) method. Although the amount of calculation is small, it is based on simple basic flows and has poor prediction accuracy for complex turbulent flows such as multi-scale, unsteady, and large separation in engineering problems. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve a refined study of the complex flow mechanism in engineering problems such as the internal flow of fluid machinery, which seriously restricts the improvement of the design level in the field of fluid machinery. As a high-precision numerical simulation method, the large eddy simulation (LES) method has high requirements on the number of grids, which makes its computational cost increase exponentially compared to the RANS method, which is much higher than the computational cost that can be tolerated in engineering applications. For engineering flow problems such as the internal flow of fluid machinery, the Reynolds number is often high. Under the existing computing power, the LES method is still difficult to apply to flow prediction in complex engineering fields at the engineering design level.

[0004] In the past two decades, the RANS-LES hybrid simulation method was born. By using the RANS method in the near-wall area and the LES method in the mainstream area, the calculation accuracy and efficiency are balanced, which provides a good solution to the problem of high-precision simulation and high computational cost of complex flows. However, the current classic RANS-LES hybrid model has relatively strict requirements on the grid, requiring users to have relatively rich experience in high-precision numerical simulation, and therefore has limited predictive ability for complex engineering flows such as internal flow in fluid machinery. Therefore, reducing the RANS-LES hybrid model's empirical dependence on the grid is of great significance to better achieve accurate, efficient and high-precision simulation of multi-scale, nonlinear, unsteady and other turbulent flow phenomena in complex engineering flow problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be resolved
