Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computational fluid dynamics, and in particular to a structural grid thermal flow calculation method for complex flow. Background Art
[0002] Due to the existence of complex phenomena such as shock waves, shock wave boundary layer interference, separation and reattachment in hypersonic flight, the aerodynamic thermal effect cannot be ignored.
[0003] In engineering, it is required to simulate aerodynamic heat as accurately as possible to provide a basis for the design of thermal protection systems. Considering the simulation accuracy, structural grids with good body fit and high calculation accuracy are generally used for simulation. After obtaining the simulation results, the heat flow post-processing calculation has high requirements for the accuracy of the temperature gradient. Currently, there are several methods such as direct solution using Fourier formula, control volume method and finite element method. The calculation formulas of control volume method and finite element method are relatively complex. The direct solution method using Fourier formula is commonly used in engineering.
[0004] The direct solution method using Fourier formula needs to obtain the distance from the first layer of grid in the normal direction of the wall to the wall. For complex shapes, it is cumbersome to directly calculate the distance formula. Solvers such as CFL3D use the unit cell volume / wall bottom area method to calculate the distance, which makes full use of the characteristics of the structured grid and has the characteristics of simple calculation and strong applicability, but there is a certain deviation for irregular hexahedrons. The present invention provides a new method for calculating the wall distance, thereby improving the accuracy of heat flow calculation. Summary of the invention
