The scale-adaptive simulation method for unsteady turbulent flow predictions. part 2: Application to complex flows

摘要

The paper summarises the validation activity performed with the Scale-Adaptive Simulation turbulence model (SAS model) using the two commercial CFD solvers, ANSYS-FLUENT and ANSYS-CFX. Both the KSKL-SAS and the SST-SAS model variants have been tested, although most cases have been computed with the second. The turbulence-resolving capability of the SAS method has been validated with a representative set of test cases, covering both underlying generic flows as well as practical engineering applications. In addition to the purely aerodynamic flows with massive separation and heat transfer they include also such physical phenomena as turbulent combustion and aeroacoustics. The illustrating results show the potentials of the SAS approach for industrial flow simulations. Most of the test case simulations were conducted during the recent EU project "DESider".
