Detached eddy simulation of an aeroelastic self-excited instability, flutter in NASA Rotor 67 is conducted using a fully coupled fluid/structre interaction. Time accurate compressible 3D Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a system of 5 decoupled modal equations in a fully coupled manner. The 5th order WENO scheme for the inviscid flux and the 4th order central differencing for the viscous flux are used to accurately capture interactions between the flow and vibrating blades with the DES (detached eddy simulation) of turbulence. A moving mesh concept that can improve mesh quality over the rotor tip clearance was implemented. Flutter simulations were first conducted from choke to stall using 4 blade passages. Stall flutter initiated at rotating stall onset, grows dramatically with resonance. The frequency analysis shows that resonance occurs at the first mode of the rotor blade. Before stall, the predicted responses of rotor blades decayed with time, resulting in no flutter. Full annulus simulation at peak point verifies that one can use the multi-passage approach with periodic boundary for the flutter prediction.

The Wall-modeled Large-eddy Simulation (WMLES) methods are commonly accompanied with an underprediction of the skin friction and a deviation of the velocity profile. The widely-used Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) method is suggested to improve the prediction of the mean skin friction when it acts as WMLES, as claimed by the original authors. However, the model tested only on flow configurations with no heat transfer. This study takes a systematic approach to assess the performance of the IDDES model for separated flows with heat transfer. Separated flows on an isothermal wall and walls with mild and intense heat fluxes are considered. For the case of the wall with heat flux, the skin friction and Stanton number are underpredicted by the IDDES model however, the underprediction is less significant for the isothermal wall case. The simulations of the cases with intense wall heat transfer reveal an interesting dependence on the heat flux level supplied; as the heat flux increases, the IDDES model declines to predict the accurate skin friction.

Simulation Results

The simple frigate shape (SFS) as defined by The Technical Co-operative Program (TTCP), is a simplified model of the frigate, which helps to investigate the basic flow fields of a frigate. In this paper, the flow fields of the different modified SFS models, consisting of a bluff body superstructure and the deck, were numerically studied. A parametric study was conducted by varying both the superstructure length L and width B to investigate the recirculation zone behind the hangar. The size and the position of the recirculation zones were compared between different models. The numerical simulation results show that the size and the location of the recirculation zone are significantly affected by the superstructure length and width. The results obtained by Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes method were also compared well with both the time averaged Improved Delayed Detached-Eddy Simulation results and the experimental data. In addition, by varying the model size and inflow velocity, various flow fields were numerically studied, which indicated that the changing of Reynolds number has tiny effect on the variation of the dimensionless size of the recirculation zone. The results in this study have certain reference value for the design of the frigate superstructure.
