Remeshing Strategy of the Supersonic Flow Over a Backward-Facing Step
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 May 2011
Abstract
A modified error indicator and an extended locally implicit scheme with anisotropic dissipation model on quadrilateral-triangular mesh are developed to study the supersonic flow over a backward-facing step. In the Cartesian coordinate system, the unsteady Euler equations are solved. The modified error indicator, in which the unified magnitude of density gradient and unified magnitude of gradient of vorticity magnitude are incorporated, is utilized to treat the new node spacing of mesh remeshing. To assess the accuracy of the extended locally implicit scheme with anisotropic dissipation model on quadrilateral-triangular mesh, two flow calculations which include the oblique-shock reflection at a wall and transonic flow around an NACA 0012 airfoil are performed. Based on the comparison with the related numerical and experimental data, the accuracy of the present approach is confirmed. According to the high-resolutional result on the adaptive mesh, the structure of backstep corner vortex, expansion wave and oblique shock wave is distinctly captured.
