Description:
The turbulence closure is significant to unsteady cavitating flow computations as the flow is frequently time-dependent accompanied with multiple scales of vortex. A turbulence bridging model named as PANS (Partially-averaged Navier-Stokes) purported for any filter-width is developed recently. The model filter width is controlled through two parameters: the unresolved-to-total ratios of kinetic energy f k and dissipation rate f ω . In the present paper, the PANS method based on k-ω model is used to simulate unsteady cavitating flows over a Clark-y hydrofoil. The main objective of this work is to present the characteristics of PANS k-ω model and evaluate it depending on experimental data. The PANS k-ω model is implemented with various filter parameters ( f k =0.2~1, f ω =1/ f k ). The comparisons with the experimental data show that with the decrease of the filter parameter f k
