Description:
A new numerical method based on adding a term to the Euler/Navier-Stokes equations has been demonstrated it can effectively treat vortex-dominated flows using low-order numerical schemes and coarse grids. The numerical diffusion introduced by convection schemes can be eliminated by modifying the velocity field as a result of solving the modified flow governing equations. The modification of the velocity field, which conserves the total vorticity, essentially convects the vorticity toward its local extreme to offset the numerical diffusion. This method preserves the vortex structure even when vortices travel on coarse grid region. The method is implemented with two distinctive codes: a Navier-Stokes flow solver based on vorticity-velocity formulation and an Euler code based on velocity-pressure formulation. Problems presented in this paper include airfoil dynamic stall, vortex airfoil interaction, and vortex-fuselage interactions.
