Abstract

For the high-precision simulation of engine jet effects, an improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method based on the two-equation shear stress transport (SST) model is developed, and the fifth-order finite-volume weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is employed to enhance accuracy of spatial discretization, and then numerical investigation of powered jet effects by RANS/LES hybrid methods is carried out. The effects of the grid distributions and the accuracy of the spatial schemes are discussed during the RANS/LES validation analysis on the fully expanded jet flow and Acoustic Reference Nozzle (ARN) jet flow. The results show that, by enlarging the grid density and improving the accuracy of the spatial schemes, the velocity distributions in the jet flow can be better predicted, the non-physical steady flow after the jet nozzle can be shortened, the instantaneous flow structures are clearer and the turbulent intensities are more accurate. Then IDDES simulation of turbofan engine jet flow is carried out. The mixing characteristics of the external fan jet flow and internal core jet flow as well as the ambient flow are obtained, and the three-dimensional turbulent structures are also given.

摘要

从动力喷流效应精细化模拟需求出发，在k -ωSST湍流模型基础上建立了IDDES混合方法，采用了有限体积五阶WENO格式提高空间离散格式精度，开展了动力喷流效应混合方法数值模拟分析及应用研究。基于自由发展喷管流动和ARN2喷管算例，开展了动力喷流效应混合方法数值模拟验证分析，结果表明增加网格密度和提高空间离散格式可有效改善喷流速度分布预测结果，缩短喷管出口下游非物理流动稳定状态，瞬态流场结构更加清晰合理，湍流强度预测更加准确。在此基础上，针对较为实际的涡扇发动机模型，完成了动力喷流效应混合方法数值模拟分析，得到了内、外涵喷流和外界气流的相互干扰及掺混特征，得到了三维湍流结构特征。
