Numerical simulation of turbulent compressible flows in a C-D nozzle with different divergence angles

Authors

Abstract:

Compressible gas flow inside a convergent-divergent nozzle and its exhaust plume atdifferent nozzle pressure ratios (NPR) have been numerically studied with severalturbulence models. The numerical results reveal that, the SST k–ω model give the bestresults compared with other models in time and accuracy. The effect of changes in value ofdivergence half-angle (ε ) on the nozzle performance, thrust coefficient ( Cf ) anddischarge coefficient ( C d) has been investigated numerically. The predicted results showthat for a given divergence angle, the thrust coefficient (Cf ) increases by increasing nozzlepressure ratio. Also, for a given nozzle pressure ratio, the thrust coefficient increases as thenozzle divergence angle decreases. When the CD nozzle is chocking, the value of dischargecoefficient is independent of nozzle pressure ratio and also for a given nozzle pressure ratio,the discharge coefficient increases as the divergence nozzle angle (ε) increases.

Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Subsonic Compressible Flow through Rectangular Microchannel

In this study, turbulent compressible gas flow in a rectangular micro-channel is numerically investigated. The gas flow assumed to be in the subsonic regime up to Mach number about 0.7. Five low and high Reynolds number RANS turbulence models are used for modeling the turbulent flow. Two types of mesh are generated depending on the employed turbulence model. The computations are performed for R...

The numerical simulation of compressible flow in a Shubin nozzle using schemes of Bean-Warming and flux vector splitting

Over the last ten years, robustness of schemes has raised an increasing interest among the CFD community. The objective of this article is to solve the quasi-one-dimensional compressible flow inside a “Shubin nozzle” and to investigate Bean-Warming and flux vector splitting methods for numerical solution of compressible flows. Two different conditions have been considered: first, there is a sup...

A robust, colocated, implicit algorithm for direct numerical simulation of compressible, turbulent flows

A non-dissipative, robust, implicit algorithm is proposed for direct numerical and large-eddy simulation of compressible turbulent flows. The algorithm addresses the problems caused by low Mach numbers and under-resolved high Reynolds numbers. It colocates variables in space to allow easy extension to unstructured grids, and discretely conserves mass, momentum and total energy. The Navier–Stoke...

Numerical Solution of Compressible Turbulent Flows Using Earsm Model

This article deals with the numerical solution of compressible turbulent flows in aerodynamics. Compressible turbulent flow is described by the system of Favre averaged Navier-Stokes equations, which are closed by the explicit algebraic Reynolds stress model (EARSM) of Wallin and Johansson. The averaged Navier-Stokes equations together with EARSM model of turbulence are discretized by the finit...

Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Bubbly Flows

A mathematical model for turbulent gas-liquid flows with mass transfer and chemical reactions is presented and a robust solution strategy based on nested iterations is proposed for the numerical treatment of the intricately coupled PDEs. In particular, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a discrete projection scheme from the family of Pressure Schur Complement methods. Nove...
