Laminar And Turbulent Flow

Abstract A distributed viscous vorticity equation (VISVE) method is presented in this work to simulate the laminar and turbulent flow past a hydrofoil. The current method is proved to be more computationally efficient and spatially compact than RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) methods since this method does not require unperturbed far-field boundary conditions, which leads to a small computational domain, a small number of mesh cells, and consequently much less simulation time. To model the turbulent flow, a synchronous coupling scheme is implemented so that the VISVE method can resolve the turbulent flow by considering the eddy viscosity in the vorticity transport equation, and the eddy viscosity is obtained by coupling VISVE with the existing turbulence model of OpenFOAM, via synchronous communication. The proposed VISVE method is applied to simulate both the laminar flow at moderate Reynolds numbers and turbulent flow at high Reynolds numbers past a hydrofoil. The velocity and vorticity calculated by the coupling method agree well with the results obtained by a RANS method.
