    An embedded mesh procedure for leading-edge vortex flows (1989)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: A cell-vertex scheme is outlined for solving the flow about a delta wing with M (sub infinity) is greater than 1. Embedded regions of mesh refinement allow solutions to be obtained which have much higher resolution than those achieved to date. Effects of mesh refinement and artificial viscosity on the solutions are studied, to determine at what point leading-edge vortex solutions are grid-converged. A macroscale and a microscale for the size of the vortex are defined, and it is shown that the macroscale (which includes the wing surface properties) is converged on a moderately refined grid, while the microscale is very sensitive to grid spacing. The level of numerical diffusion in the core of the vortex is found to be substantial. Comparisons with the experiment are made for two cases which have transonic cross-flow velocities.

    An approximate Riemann solver for magnetohydrodynamics (that works in more than one dimension) (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An approximate Riemann solver is developed for the governing equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The Riemann solver has an eight-wave structure, where seven of the waves are those used in previous work on upwind schemes for MHD, and the eighth wave is related to the divergence of the magnetic field. The structure of the eighth wave is not immediately obvious from the governing equations as they are usually written, but arises from a modification of the equations that is presented in this paper. The addition of the eighth wave allows multidimensional MHD problems to be solved without the use of staggered grids or a projection scheme, one or the other of which was necessary in previous work on upwind schemes for MHD. A test problem made up of a shock tube with rotated initial conditions is solved to show that the two-dimensional code yields answers consistent with the one-dimensional methods developed previously.

    An adaptive embedded mesh procedure for leading-edge vortex flows (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A procedure for solving the conical Euler equations on an adaptively refined mesh is presented, along with a method for determining which cells to refine. The solution procedure is a central-difference cell-vertex scheme. The adaptation procedure is made up of a parameter on which the refinement decision is based, and a method for choosing a threshold value of the parameter. The refinement parameter is a measure of mesh-convergence, constructed by comparison of locally coarse- and fine-grid solutions. The threshold for the refinement parameter is based on the curvature of the curve relating the number of cells flagged for refinement to the value of the refinement threshold. Results for three test cases are presented. The test problem is that of a delta wing at angle of attack in a supersonic free-stream. The resulting vortices and shocks are captured efficiently by the adaptive code.

    An accuracy assessment of Cartesian-mesh approaches for the Euler equations (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A critical assessment of the accuracy of Cartesian-mesh approaches for solving the Euler equations is made. An exact solution of the Euler equations (Ringleb's flow) is used not only to infer the order of error of the Cartesian mesh approaches, but also to compare the magnitude of the error directly to that obtained with a structured mesh approach. The effect of cell merging is investigated as well as the use of two different K-exact reconstruction procedures. The solution methodology of the schemes is explained and tabulated results are presented to compare the solution accuracies. Adaptive and uniform mesh refinement is evaluated for Ringleb's flow and the supersonic flow through an axisymmetric inlet.

    Comparison of measured and computed pitot pressures in a leading edge vortex from a delta wing (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Calculations are presented for a 75-deg swept flat plate wing tested at a freestream Mach number of 1.95 and 10 degrees angle of attack. Good agreement is found between computational data and previous experimental pitot pressure measurements in the core of the vortex, suggesting that the total pressure losses predicted by the Euler equation solvers are not errors, but realistic predictions. Data suggest that the magnitude of the total pressure loss is related to the circumferential velocity field through the vortex, and that it increases with angle of attack and varies with Mach number and sweep angle.

    Leading-edge vortex solutions with large total pressure losses (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Computations are presented for a Lambda = 75 deg delta wing in a supersonic freestream under two conditions which lead to leading-edge vortices. For one condition, analysis of the computed vortical flow reveals a closed streamline in the core. From varying computational parameters, it appears that this is due to truncation error of the convective derivatives. For the other condition, comparisons are made with wind-tunnel data, and good agreement is noted for pitot pressure distributions, flow angles on the symmetry plane, and the position of an embedded shock. Many of the aerodynamic parameters are shown to be insensitive to grid spacing.

    A Cartesian, cell-based approach for adaptively-refined solutions of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A Cartesian, cell-based approach for adaptively-refined solutions of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions is developed and tested. Grids about geometrically complicated bodies are generated automatically, by recursive subdivision of a single Cartesian cell encompassing the entire flow domain. Where the resulting cells intersect bodies, N-sided 'cut' cells are created using polygon-clipping algorithms. The grid is stored in a binary-tree structure which provides a natural means of obtaining cell-to-cell connectivity and of carrying out solution-adaptive mesh refinement. The Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are solved on the resulting grids using a finite-volume formulation. The convective terms are upwinded: a gradient-limited, linear reconstruction of the primitive variables is performed, providing input states to an approximate Riemann solver for computing the fluxes between neighboring cells. The more robust of a series of viscous flux functions is used to provide the viscous fluxes at the cell interfaces. Adaptively-refined solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations using the Cartesian, cell-based approach are obtained and compared to theory, experiment, and other accepted computational results for a series of low and moderate Reynolds number flows.

    An accuracy assessment of Cartesian-mesh approaches for the Euler equations (1995)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A critical assessment of the accuracy of Cartesian-mesh approaches for steady, transonic solutions of the Euler equations of gas dynamics is made. An exact solution of the Euler equations (Ringleb's flow) is used not only to infer the order of the truncation error of the Cartesian-mesh approaches, but also to compare the magnitude of the discrete error directly to that obtained with a structured mesh approach. Uniformly and adaptively refined solutions using a Cartesian-mesh approach are obtained and compared to each other and to uniformly refined structured mesh results. The effect of cell merging is investigated as well as the use of two different K-exact reconstruction procedures. The solution methodology of the schemes is explained and tabulated results are presented to compare the solution accuracies.

    Viscous and inviscid instabilities of a trailing vortex (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The linear stability of the trailing line vortex model of Batchelor (1964) is studied using a spectral collocation and matrix eigenvalue method. The entire unstable region in the swirl/axial wavenumber parameter space is mapped out for various azimuthal wavenumbers for both the inviscid and viscous stability problem. The results of the study provide a direct numerical validation of the large-azimuthal-wavenumber asymptotic analysis of Leibovich and Stewartson (1983). It is shown that accurate results are obtained up to azimuthal wavenumbers of 10,000 and greater, and the agreement with the asymptotic theory is excellent.
