A Navier-Stokes time-accurate solver has been extended to the analysis of unsteady rotor-stator interaction. In the proposed method, a fully-implicit time discretization is used to remove stability limitations. A four-stage Runge-Kutta scheme is used in conjunction with several accelerating techniques typical of steady-state solvers, instead of traditional time-expensive factorizations. Those accelerating strategies include local time stepping, residual smoothing, and multigrid. Direct interpolation of the conservative variables is used to handle the interfaces between blade rows. Two-dimensional viscous calculations of unsteady rotor-stator interaction in a modern gas turbine stage are presented to check for the capability of the procedure.

A recently developed, time-accurate multigrid viscous solver has been extended to the analysis of unsteady rotor-stator interaction. In the proposed method, a fully-implicit time discretization is used to remove stability limitations. By means of a dual time-stepping approach, a four-stage Runge-Kutta scheme is used in conjunction with several accelerating techniques typical of steady-state solvers, instead of traditional time-expensive factorizations. The accelerating strategies include local time stepping, residual smoothing, and multigrid. Two-dimensional viscous calculations of unsteady rotor-stator interaction in the first stage of a modem gas turbine are presented. The stage analysis is based on the introduction of several blade passages to approximate the stator:rotor count ratio. Particular attention is dedicated to grid dependency in space and time as well as to the influence of the number of blades included in the calculations.

A computer code for solving the Reynolds-averaged full Navier–Stokes equations has been developed and applied using H- and C-type grids. The Baldwin–Lomax eddy-viscosity model is used for turbulence closure. The integration in time is based on an explicit four-stage Runge–Kutta scheme. Local time stepping, variable coefficient implicit residual smoothing, and a full multigrid method have been implemented to accelerate steady-state calculations. A grid independence analysis is presented for a transonic rotor blade. Comparisons with experimental data show that the code is an accurate viscous solver and can give very good blade-to-blade predictions for engineering applications.

Abstract We prove that some time discretization schemes for the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations on the torus subject to a random perturbation converge in $L^2(\varOmega )$. This refines previous results that established the convergence only in probability of these numerical approximations. Using exponential moment estimates of the solution of the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations and convergence of a localized scheme we can prove strong convergence of fully implicit and semiimplicit temporal Euler discretizations and of a splitting scheme. The speed of the $L^2(\varOmega )$ convergence depends on the diffusion coefficient and on the viscosity parameter.
