Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of complex flow calculation of aircraft engines and gas turbines, and in particular to a grid adaptive turbulence simulation method based on Vreman dynamic coefficient coupled k-ω series models. Background Art
[0002] Aircraft engines and gas turbines are a major national demand and a key development area for my country's high-end equipment manufacturing. Turbulence is ubiquitous in nature and engineering, and accurate prediction of turbulence is a major challenge in studying complex flow problems. Turbulent flows in aircraft engines and gas turbines are extremely complex, with multi-scale, nonlinear, and unsteady characteristics. These complex turbulences have a great impact on the performance of aircraft engines and gas turbines. 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 aircraft engines and gas turbines.
[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 detailed study of the complex flow mechanism in engineering problems such as the internal flow of aircraft engines and gas turbines, which seriously restricts the improvement of the design level in the fields of aircraft engines and gas turbines. As a high-precision numerical simulation method, the large eddy simulation (LES) method has a high requirement for 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 aircraft engines and gas turbines, the Reynolds number is often high. Under the existing computing power, the LES method is still difficult to apply to the 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 rich experience in high-precision numerical simulation. The existing RANS-LES hybrid simulation method is highly dependent on the experience-based grid distribution for the prediction accuracy of complex engineering flows such as the internal flow of aircraft engines and gas turbines, and the grid demand is large, making it difficult to apply to daily engineering design. Therefore, reducing the empirical dependence of the RANS-LES hybrid model on the grid is of great significance to better realize the accurate, efficient and high-precision simulation of multi-scale, nonlinear, unsteady and other turbulent flow phenomena in complex engineering flow problems.
[0005] The present invention further improves the prediction accuracy and grid adaptability of the grid adaptive turbulence simulation method by introducing the Vreman dynamic coefficient. Compared with the disclosed invention patent CN 115186607 A, the prediction accuracy of the grid adaptive turbulence simulation method can be further improved and the calculation cost can be greatly reduced.
