AE320/AE706 Assignment 3 Internal Flow in a Channel with a Circular Bump

to be submitted on 06/11/2011

Task
(I) Write a Finite volume code based on HLL scheme for computing ow inside a channel with a 10% thick circular arc bump for following three test cases: 1. Subsonic M=0.5 2. Transonic M=0.675 3. Supersonic M=1.4. (II) For subsonic and transonic cases use Riemann Invarient based inow and outow boundary conditions. You have your choice about solid wall boundary treatment.

Problem Denitions
Consider the 2D domain as shown in gure 1, which corresponds to a rectangular channel of height L and length 3 L. The channel has a circular arc bump (in the middle) of length L and maximum thickness equal to 0.1 L along the bottom wall.

Proceed now as follows

1. Construct an H-grid using 71 points in the axial direction with equal spacing and 31 points in-between top and bottom walls. A quasi-uniform grid distribution is selected by taking x = 3L/70 and dividing each vertical mesh line in 30 uniform steps (see Figure 2). 2. For all cases assume following atmospheric conditions at outlet: pressure and temperature as pa = 101300 Pa and Ta = 288 K respectively. 1

3. In order to match these ow conditions, the total pressure and temperature are xed at the inlet as: (1) corresponsing to M = 0.5 po = 120163 Pa To = 302.4 K (2) corresponsing to M = 0.675 po = 137458 Pa To = 302.4 K (3) corresponsing to M = 1.4 po = 322364 Pa To = 400.9 K The inlet velocity vector is imposed in the axial direction.

Plot
1. Plot Mach number contours for all the three cases 2. Plot coecient of pressure cp along the bottom and upper walls.

A Finite Volume Based code has been developed in which the Flux vector is calculated using HLL Riemann solver technique. 2. A single code has been developed that works both in subsonic and supersonic conditions. 3. For subsonic case, Inlet and Outlet conditions are applies using Riemann Invariants method as described in section 8.4, Inlet/Outlet Boundary of Computational Fluid Dynamics by J. Blazek. 4. For supersonic case, given values has been applied at the inlet whereas, at exit the interior values are copied. 5. Cell vertex Finite Volume Method has been used and Wall Boundary is imposed such that normal component of velocity is zero. 6. For time step calculation Courant-Friedrich-Lewis criterion has been used: = Where, is the grid spacing, CP is the Courant parameter and umax is the maximum value of the local flow speed + local sound speed. The returned timestep is the minimum timestep along all dimensions. 7. For calculation of Flux vector for a particular cell, normal component of Flux and velocity has been obtained at all the edges and then HLL scheme is applied at all the edges individually. 8. In order to save the computation time, for each cell Lower and Right Flux component has been copied from the adjacent cells (Lower and Left cell) with change of sign. Whereas, Right and Upper Flux component has been evaluated for each cell.

9. The iteration was done till the residual Rss is <= 10-6. 10. The main code twoDhump.cpp exports the output in .vtk file format: a. twoDhump_data.vtk contains the Mach number profile for all grid points. b. twoDcp_data.vtk contains the pressure coefficient over the lower and upper

surface. c. These files can be directly imported into Paraview for plotting and visualization.

11. The results has been obtained and plotted for three cases in the following sections.

Discussion of Results: 1. For Mach 0.5 the disturbances travel in all direction and there is no supersonic flow throughout the domain. 2. For Mach 0.675 the Mach number just reaches a maximum of 0.955 at the minimum throat of the cross section. Hence in this case also the flow remains subsonic throughout the domain. 3. For Mach 1.4, three cases have been considered for three time of iterations. a. For time of iterations = 0.01 sec, a shock wave is formed at the nose of the hump which is reflected from the upper surface. Expansion fan is formed downstream of the hump leading to acceleration of flow to supersonic speed and again a shock wave is formed at the end of the hump. b. For time of iterations = 0.05 sec, the shock before the hump is pushed further upstream. c. For time of iterations = 0.092 sec (for which Rss <= 10-6 condition is satisfied), the shock is pushed upstream at the exit at and a uniform flow develops inside the flow domain.
