Abstract:
In order to examine applicability of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS）using Reynolds Stress equation Model (RSM) and the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) in numerical simulation of centrifugal pump, a series of 3D numerical simulation at the design point and at six off-design points were carried out with the two methods. The object is based on IS80-65-160 centrifugal pump. According to the results obtained, head, shaft power, efficiency of pump were calculated, the simulated performance curves of a centrifugal pump is processed. The simulated performance curves of a centrifugal pump were compared with the experimental performance curves. It was confirmed that RANS were suitable for the numerical simulation of the internal flow inside a centrifugal pump. But the result of LES is not very good if the same gambit which is suitable for RANS was used. Therefore, the computer resources, not propose the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method in numerical simulations of centrifugal pump.

Abstract:
During the past two decades, hydraulic jumps have been investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The second part of this two-part study is devoted to the state-of-the-art of the numerical simulation of the hydraulic jump. First, the most widely-used CFD approaches, namely the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS), the Large Eddy Simulation (LES), the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), the hybrid RANS-LES method Detached Eddy Simulation (DES), as well as the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), are introduced pointing out their main characteristics also in the context of the best practices for CFD modeling of environmental flows. Second, the literature on numerical simulations of the hydraulic jump is presented and discussed. It was observed that the RANS modeling approach is able to provide accurate results for the mean flow variables, while high-fidelity methods, such as LES and DES, can properly reproduce turbulence quantities of the hydraulic jump. Although computationally very expensive, the first DNS on the hydraulic jump led to important findings about the structure of the hydraulic jump and scale effects. Similarly, application of the Lagrangian meshless SPH method provided interesting results, notwithstanding the lower research activity. At the end, despite the promising results still available, it is expected that with the increase in the computational capabilities, the RANS-based numerical studies of the hydraulic jump will approach the prototype scale problems, which are of great relevance for hydraulic engineers, while the application at this scale of the most advanced tools, such as LES and DNS, is still beyond expectations for the foreseeable future. Knowledge of the uncertainty associated with RANS modeling may allow the careful design of new hydraulic structures through the available CFD tools.

Abstract:
Detached Eddy Simulation（DES）is quite a new approach for the treatment of turbulence, which unites the efficiency of Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Simulation (RANS) and the accuracy of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) into one framework. In this paper, DES method based on Spalart-Allmaras (S-A) turbulence model is employed to simulate the incompressible viscous flow around bridge decks. In order to obtain the aerodynamic forces, the forced motion simulations of the bridge decks are implemented by self-developed codes combined with FLUENT software. After obtaining the aerodynamic forces, aerodynamic derivatives are determined based on the least square algorithm. As the examples, the thin flat plate and the Great Belt East Bridge suspended spans cross-section are investigated to calculate their aerodynamic derivatives. Finally, the simulation results are compared to the data reported in other studies. The comparisons show that the present method gives much better prediction of the aerodynamic derivatives than RANS method and discrete vortex method (DVM).

Abstract:
Cavitation inception in a ducted propulsor was studied numerically using Navier-Stokes computations and bubble dynamics models. Experimental observations of the propulsor model and previous numerical computations using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) codes indicated that cavitation inception occurred in the region of interaction of the leakage and trailing tip vortices. The RANS simulations failed, however, to predict correctly both the cavitation inception index value and the inception location. To improve the numerical predictions, we complemented here the RANS computations with a direct Navier-Stokes simulation in a reduced computational domain including the region of interaction of the two vortices. Initial and boundary conditions in the reduced domain were provided by the RANS solution of the full ducted propulsor flow. Bubble nuclei were released in this flow field, and spherical and nonspherical bubble dynamics models were exercised to investigate cavitation inception. This resulted in a solution in much better agreement with the experimental measurements than the original RANS solution. Both the value of the cavitation inception index and the location of the cavitation inception were very well captured. The characteristics of the emitted acoustic signals and of the bubble shapes during a cavitation event were also computed.

The objective of this article is to perform a numerical modeling on the flow dynamics around a competitive female swimmer during the underwater swimming phase for a velocity of 2.2 m/s corresponding to national swimming levels. Flow around the swimmer is assumed turbulent and simulated with a computational fluid dynamics method based on a volume control approach. The 3D numerical simulations have been carried out with the code ANSYS FLUENT and are presented using the standard k-ω turbulence model for a Reynolds number of 6.4 × 106. To validate the streamline patterns produced by the simulation, experiments were performed in the swimming pools of the National Institute of Sports and Physical Education in Paris (INSEP) by using the tufts method.

Abstract:
For jets, large eddy resolving simulations are compared for a range of numerical schemes with no subgrid scale (SGS) model and for a range of SGS models with the same scheme. There is little variation in results for the different SGS models, and it is shown that, for schemes which tend towards having dissipative elements, the SGS model can be abandoned, giving what can be termed numerical large eddy simulation (NLES). More complex geometries are investigated, including coaxial and chevron nozzle jets. A near-wall Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) model is used to cover over streak-like structures that cannot be resolved. Compressor and turbine flows are also successfully computed using a similar NLES–RANS strategy. Upstream of the compressor leading edge, the RANS layer is helpful in preventing premature separation. Capturing the correct flow over the turbine is particularly challenging, but nonetheless the RANS layer is helpful. In relation to the SGS model, for the flows considered, evidence suggests issues such as inflow conditions, problem definition and transition are more influential.

Abstract In this work we present the numerical simulation of coolant mixing modes in the T-junction. We shows that the RANS approach is beneficial for a qualitative flow analysis to obtain relatively agreed averaged velocity and temperature. Moreover, traditionally, the RANS approach calculates only the averaged temperature distribution. It should also be emphasized that unlike the LES approach, the steady RANS approach cannot express a local flow structure in intense mixing zones. Nevertheless, apparently the used RANS approach should be used for assessing the quality of computational grids, boundary conditions in order to use the LES approach for further numerical simulation.

Abstract:
The air flow field of ship was simulated by using computational fluid dynamics technology to analyze its prime characteristics with reasonable accuracy. The different results of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method and Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) were compared, and the calculation traits of these methods were discussed. The results show that the air flow field of ship is unsteady. The accuracy of RANS simulation is insufficient for capturing this unsteady phenomenon. However, DES can catch this with better accuracy and expresses a comparatively great conformity with experimental data. Then, the aircraft carrier's flow field was calculated by DES. The characteristics of vortexes and velocity fluctuation on the ideal landing track were discussed in different wind directions. Those simulations indicate that there are complicated vortexes produced by blunt edges of the island and deck in the flow field. Those vortexes interact and mainly exist in the rear of flight deck and its adjacent air wake. Moreover, they cause a conspicuous and periodical velocity fluctuation on the ideal landing track as time goes on.

Abstract:
A comprehensive understanding of the hydrodynamics in vegetated open-channels and flow-vegetation interaction is of high interest to researchers and practitioners alike for instance in the content of river and coastal restoration schemes. The focus of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of vegetation on flow resistance, turbulence statistics, and the instantaneous flow in open channels by performing three-dimensional computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) simulations. Firstly, fully developed turbulent flow in fully-vegetated channel was analyzed by employing the method of high-resolution Large-Eddy Simulation (LES). Flow through a staggered array of rigid, emergent cylinders was simulated and the LES was validated through experiments. After validation, numerical simulations were performed at an extended parameter range of two different cylinder Reynolds numbers (ReD = 500 and 1340) and three different vegetation densities (φ = 0.016, 0.063, and 0.251). Flow structures and statistics were analyzed on the instantaneous flow and the effect of the vegetation density and cylinder Reynolds number was assessed. Moreover, drag forces exerted on the cylinders were calculated explicitly, and the effect of both ReD and φ on the drag coefficient was quantified. Secondly, two new alternative simulation strategies, a RANS based strategy with a vegetative closure model and a low-resolution Large-Eddy Simulation, were devised. They were evaluated by simulating several experimental cases with diverse conditions of the cylinder arrangement (i.e., staggered vs. random distribution), vegetation densities (φ = 0.016, 0.022, 0.063, 0.087, 0.091, 0.150, and 0.251), and cylinder Reynolds number (ReD = 170 - 1700). For the RANS based strategy, the importance of a-priori knowledge was assessed, and for the low-resolution LES, the efficiency and accuracy was demonstrated. Finally, a numerical strategy based on a porosity approach was developed and applied to open-channel flow through a natural plant. The simulated velocities were compared with experimentally acquired ones and results showed reasonable agreement. The results obtained in this research contribute to the understanding of fundamental mechanism of flow-vegetation interaction in vegetated open-channels, resolving turbulent flow-vegetation interaction explicitly. In addition, the new numerical strategies developed as part of this research are expected to allow describing the behavior of turbulent flow through artificial and natural vegetation with high efficiency and accuracy.

Abstract:
L'aérodynamique interne est un élément fondamental pour améliorer la combustion dans les moteurs à allumage commandé. Une meilleure maitrise des écoulements internes est permise grâce aux outils de simulation CFD qui sont de plus en plus utilisés dans le processus de développement des moteurs à allumage commandé. Cette thèse avait pour objectif d’étendre l'approche hybride RANS/LES-temporelle dite HTLES, initialement dédiée pour des écoulements statistiquement stationnaires, aux écoulements moteurs avec des parois mobiles et des modes opératoires cycliques, puis de la valider dans des configurations représentatives des écoulements moteurs. Cette approche vise à modéliser les régions proches parois par approche statistique RANS et tend continûment vers la LES temporelle loin des parois si la discrétisation spatiale et temporelle est suffisamment résolue. Le formalisme temporel permet une hybridation RANS/LES consistante dans un écoulement statistiquement stationnaire, les deux méthodes se basant sur des opérateurs temporels (respectivement la moyenne temporelle et le filtrage temporel). Une première amélioration de l’approche HTLES a été proposée en ajoutant une fonction de protection qui impose le mode RANS dans la région proche paroi, indépendamment de la discrétisation locale (spatiale et temporelle). Dans les écoulements cycliques, l’approche HTLES modélise les échelles turbulentes non-résolues en se basant sur des moyennes de phase des grandeurs résolues qui sont inconnues lors de la simulation. La moyenne glissante exponentielle (EWA) a été utilisée afin d’approximer ces moyennes de phase. Une formule pour définir la largeur de la moyenne glissante a été proposée de sorte que les fluctuations turbulentes (hautes fréquences) soient filtrées des quantités résolues, tout en conservant les composantes cycliques (basses fréquences). Cette approche a été implémentée dans le code de calcul industriel CONVERGE CFD. Elle a d'abord été validée dans deux configurations stationnaires : un canal plan infini et un banc volute. A cet effet, les résultats ont été comparés aux données de référence et aux résultats RANS et LES. Dans les régions proches parois où le maillage est sous résolu pour la LES, EWA-HTLES a mieux prédit l’écoulement grâce à l'utilisation du mode RANS, permettant une meilleure prédiction des pertes de charge. La résolution des grandes échelles dans la région centrale a permis d'obtenir des prédictions aussi précises qu’une simulation LES en termes de vitesses moyennes et des fluctuations. La validation de l'EWA-HTLES a également été effectuée dans deux configurations moteurs : le tumble compressé et le moteur Darmstadt, tous deux présentant des caractéristiques aérodynamiques typiques aux moteurs à allumage commandé telles que la génération et la compression du mouvement de tumble et la variabilité cyclique. Pour chaque configuration, un nombre total de 40 cycles consécutifs simulés à l'aide de EWA-HTLES a été utilisé pour calculer les deux premiers moments statistiques. Les résultats ont été comparés aux données de la PIV, et aux résultats donnés par les simulations RANS et LES. Les résultats ont montré que le modèle développé arrive à contrôler correctement la transition RANS-LES dans des configurations complexes avec des conditions d'écoulement non stationnaires et des déformations géométriques importantes, assurant le mode RANS aux parois et la LES au centre du cylindre. La résolution des grandes échelles a permis une bonne prédiction des phénomènes instationnaires, particulièrement l'évolution des caractéristiques du mouvement de tumble et des phénomènes associés aux variabilités cycliques, tels que l'augmentation locale de vitesses fluctuantes. Les résultats de l'EWA-HTLES sont similaires à ceux prédits par la LES et meilleurs que ceux donnés par les simulations RANS. Ces résultats montrent des perspectives encourageantes pour l'application de cette méthode dans de nombreuses configurations industrielles
Internal aerodynamics is a key element for improving the combustion efficiency in Spark-Ignition (SI) engines. Within this context, CFD tools are increasingly used to investigate in-cylinder flows and to support the design of fuel-efficient engines. The present research aimed at extending and validating a non-zonal hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes / Temporal Large-Eddy Simulation (HTLES) approach, initially formulated for stationary flows, to cyclic SI engine flows with moving walls. The aim was to model the near-wall regions and coarse mesh regions in RANS, while solving the turbulent scales in core regions with sufficient mesh resolution using temporal LES, in a seamless approach with no a priori user input. HTLES was retained as it proposed a consistent hybridization combining time-averaging in RANS regions with temporal filtering in TLES.A first development consisted in implementing a smooth shielding function that enforces the RANS mode in near-wall regions, regardless of the local temporal and spatial resolution. The extension of HTLES to cyclic flows was then achieved via the formulation of a method allowing approximating the phase averages of resolved flow quantities based on an Exponentially Weighted Average (EWA). A dynamic expression for the width of the weighted average was proposed, in order to ensure that the high frequency turbulent fluctuations be filtered out from the resolved quantities, while keeping the low frequency cyclic components of the flow variables. The resulting EWA-HTLES model was implemented in the commercial CONVERGE CFD code. The developed EWA-HTLES model was first applied to the simulation of two steady flow configurations: a minimal turbulent channel and a steady flow rig. Predictions were confronted with reference data, as well as with those from RANS and LES. All simulations relied on the use of standard wall laws and coarse grids at walls. Imposing the RANS mode at walls yielded EWA-HTLES predictions of pressure losses much closer to DNS and experimental findings than with LES. At the same time, it allowed yielding results in terms of mean and RMS velocities s in the core regions of the same quality than LES, and superior to RANS.Finally, EWA-HTLES was applied to the simulation of two cyclic flows representative of SI engines: the compressed tumble and the Darmstadt single-cylinder pentroof 4valve engine. For each configuration, a total number of 40 consecutive cycles were simulated. The results were confronted to PIV data, and to RANS and LES predictions obtained using the same numerical set-up. It was shown that EWA-HTLES successfully drives the RANS-to-LES transition in such complex configurations exhibiting unsteady flow features and important cyclic geometrical deformations. It switched from the RANS mode at the walls to LES in the core region of the cylinder, allowing a better prediction of unsteady phenomena including the evolution of the overall tumble characteristics and phenomena associated to cyclic variability. The EWA-HTLES results were shown to be comparable to those predicted by LES, and superior to RANS.The performed developments and obtained results open encouraging perspectives for the application of this hybrid RANS/LES method in industrial configurations involving non-stationary conditions and in particular moving boundaries

Abstract:
The present study considers the numerical simulation of the different flow characteristics involved in the conjugate heat transfer analysis of an internally cooled gas turbine blade. Conjugate simulations require full coupling of convective heat transfer in fluid regions to the heat diffusion in solid regions. Therefore, accurate prediction of heat transfer quantities on both external and internal surfaces has the uppermost importance and highly connected with the performance of the employed turbulence models. The complex flow on both surfaces of the internally cooled turbine blades is caused from the boundary layer laminar-to-turbulence transition, shock wave interaction with boundary layer, high streamline curvature and sequential flow separation. In order to discover the performances of different turbulence models on these flow types, analyses have been conducted on five different experimental studies each concerned with different flow and heat transfer characteristics. Each experimental study has been examined with four different turbulence models available in the commercial software (ANSYS FLUENT13.0) to decide most suitable RANS-based turbulence model. The Realizable k-&epsilon
model, Shear Stress Transport k-&omega
model, Reynolds Stress Model and V2-f model, which became increasingly popular during the last few years, have been used at the numerical simulations. According to conducted analyses, despite a few unreasonable predictions, in the majority of the numerical simulations, V2-f model outperforms other first-order turbulence models (Realizable k-&epsilon
and Shear Stress Transport k-&omega
) in terms of accuracy and Reynolds Stress Model in terms of convergence.

Abstract:
A Large Eddy-Simulation code, based on a mesh transparent algorithm, for hybrid unstructured meshes is presented to deal with complex geometries that are often found in engineering flow problems. While tetrahedral elements are very effective in dealing with complex geometry, excessive numerical diffusion often affects results. Thus, prismatic or hexahedral elements are preferable in regions where turbulence structures are important. A second order reconstruction methodology is used since an investigation of a higher order method based upon Lele's compact scheme has shown this to be impractical on general unstructured meshes. The convective fluxes are treated with the Roe scheme that has been modified by introducing a variable scaling to the dissipation matrix to obtain a nearly second order accurate centred scheme in statistically smooth flow, whilst retaining the high resolution TVD behaviour across a shock discontinuity. The code has been parallelised using MPI to ensure portability. The base numerical scheme has been validated for steady flow computations over complex geometries using inviscid and RANS forms of the governing equations. The extension of the numerical scheme to unsteady turbulent flows and the complete LES code have been validated for the interaction of a shock with a laminar mixing layer, a Mach 0.9 turbulent round jet and a fully developed turbulent pipe flow. The mixing layer and round jet computations indicate that, for similar mesh resolution of the shear layer, the present code exhibits results comparable to previously published work using a higher order scheme on a structured mesh. The unstructured meshes have a significantly smaller total number of nodes since tetrahedral elements are used to fill to the far field region. The pipe flow results show that the present code is capable of producing the correct flow features. Finally, the code has been applied to the LES computation of the impingement of a highly under-expanded jet that produces plate shock oscillation. Comparison with other workers' experiments indicates good qualitative agreement for the major features of the flow. However, in this preliminary computation the computed frequency is somewhat lower than that of experimental measurements.

Abstract:
Fossil fuel reserves are projected to be decreasing, and emission regulations are becoming more stringent due to increasing atmospheric pollution. Alternative fuels for power generation in industrial gas turbines are thus required able to meet the above demands. Examples of such fuels are synthetic gas, blast furnace gas and coke oven gas. A common characteristic of these fuels is that they are multi-component fuels, whose composition varies greatly depending on their production process. This implies that their combustion characteristics will also vary significantly. Thus, accurate and yet flexible enough combustion sub-models are required for such fuels, which are used during the design stage, to ensure optimum performance during practical operating conditions. Most combustion sub-model development and validation is based on Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) studies. DNS however is computationally expensive. This, has so far limited DNS to single-component fuels such as methane and hydrogen. Furthermore, the majority of DNS conducted to date used one-step chemistry in 3D, and skeletal chemistry in 2D only. The need for 3D DNS using skeletal chemistry is thus apparent. In this study, an accurate reduced chemical mechanism suitable for multi-component fuel-air combustion is developed from a skeletal mechanism. Three-dimensional DNS of a freely propagating turbulent premixed flame is then conducted using both mechanisms to shed some light into the flame structure and turbulence-scalar interaction of such multi-component fuel flames. It is found that for the multi-component fuel flame heat is released over a wider temperature range contrary to a methane flame. This, results from the presence of individual species reactions zones which do not all overlap. The performance of the reduced mechanism is also validated using the DNS data. Results suggest it to be a good substitute of the skeletal mechanism, resulting in significant time and memory savings. The flame markers commonly used to visualize heat release rate in laser diagnostics are found to be inadequate for the multi-component fuel flame, and alternative markers are proposed. Finally, some popular mean reaction rate closures are tested for the multi-component fuel flame. Significant differences are observed between the models’ performance at the highest turbulence level considered in this study. These arise from the chemical complexity of the fuel, and further parametric studies using skeletal chemistry DNS would be useful for the refinement of the models.

Full text
Abstract:
Langmuir turbulence in the upper ocean is generated by the interaction between the wind-driven shear current and the Stokes drift velocity induced by surface gravity waves. In homogenous (neutrally stratified) shallow water, the largest scales of Langmuir turbulence are characterized by full-depth Langmuir circulation (LC). LC consists of parallel counter-rotating vortices aligned roughly in the direction of the wind. In shallow coastal shelves, LC has been observed engulfing the entire water column, interacting with the boundary layer and serving as an important mechanism for sediment re-suspension. In this research, large-eddy simulations (LES) of Langmuir turbulence with full-depth LC in a wind-driven shear current have revealed deviations from classical log-layer dynamics in the surface and bottom of the water column. For example, mixing due to full-depth LC induces a large wake region eroding the classical bottom (bed) log-law velocity profile. Meanwhile, near the surface, Stokes drift shear serves to intensify small scale eddies leading to enhanced mixing and disruption of the surface velocity log-law. The modified surface and bottom log-layer dynamics induced by Langmuir turbulence and full-depth LC have important implications on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations (RANSS) of the general coastal ocean circulation. Turbulence models in RANSS are typically calibrated under the assumption of log-layer dynamics, which could potentially be invalid during occurrence of Langmuir turbulence and associated full-depth LC. A K-Profile Parameterization (KPP) of the Reynolds shear stress in RANSS is introduced capturing the basic mechanisms by which shallow water Langmuir turbulence and full-depth LC impact the mean flow. Single water column RANS simulations with the new parameterization are presented showing good agreement with LES

Full text
Abstract:
RANS models in CFD are used to predict the liner wall heat transfer characteristics of a gas turbine annular combustor with radial swirlers, over a Reynolds number range from 50,000 to 840,000. A three dimensional hybrid mesh of around twenty five million cells is created for a periodic section of an annular combustor with a single radial swirler. Different turbulence models are tested and it is found that the RNG k-e model with swirl correction gives the best comparisons with experiments. The Swirl number is shown to be an important factor in the behavior of the resulting flow field. The swirl flow entering the combustor expands and impinges on the combustor walls, resulting in a peak in heat transfer coefficient. The peak Nusselt number is found to be quite insensitive to the Reynolds number only increasing from 1850 at Re=50,000 to 2200 at Re=840,000, indicating a strong dependence on the Swirl number which remains constant at 0.8 on entry to the combustor. Thus the peak augmentation ratio calculated with respect to a turbulent pipe flow decreases with Reynolds number. As the Reynolds number increases from 50,000 to 840,000, not only does the peak augmentation ratio decrease but it also diffuses out, such that at Re=840,000, the augmentation profiles at the combustor walls are quite uniform once the swirl flow impinges on the walls. It is surmised with some evidence that as the Reynolds number increases, a high tangential velocity persists in the vicinity of the combustor walls downstream of impingement, maintaining a near constant value of the heat transfer coefficient. The computed and experimental heat transfer augmentation ratios at low Reynolds numbers are within 30-40% of each other.

Abstract:
Cette thèse a été réalisée dans le cadre du Projet HARVEST, programme d'études initié au Laboratoire LEGI de Grenoble visant la production d'électricité à partir d'un concept original d'hydrolienne. Au sein du Projet HARVEST, ce travail constitue une contribution à l'analyse de l'interaction fluide-structure, appuyée sur des outils de simulation numérique disponibles. Une démarche progressive a été mise en place. L'étude porte ainsi tout d'abord sur des configurations bidimensionnelles représentant une coupe transversale de la géométrie réelle. Des géométries tridimensionnelles simplifiées, incluant quelques composants de la turbine, sont ensuite analysées. Enfin, dans la dernière partie de ce manuscrit, le rendement hydrodynamique et les caractéristiques mécaniques d'une géométrie complète de turbine à flux transverse sont présentés. Ce mémoire est clôturé par des conclusions d'ordre méthodologique et technologique des travaux présentés
The general context of the present study is the HARVEST Project, research program initiated at LEGI Laboratory in Grenoble devoted to the development of an original concept of cross-flow water turbine allowing to harness the kinetic energy of rivers and oceans streams. Within the HARVEST Project, this thesis is an important contribution to the analysis of fluid-structure interaction, based on available numerical simulation tools. A gradual approach was implemented. The study is primarily performed on two-dimensional configuration representing a cross section of the real geometry. Simplified three-dimensional geometries, including some components of the turbine, are analyzed after. Finally, in the last part of this manuscript, the hydrodynamic performance and mechanical characteristics of a complete geometry of cross-flow water turbine are presented.

Abstract:
Abstract Rocket engine nozzle structures typically fail after a few engine cycles due to the extreme thermomechanical loading near the nozzle throat. In order to obtain an accurate lifetime prediction and to increase the lifetime, a detailed understanding of the thermomechanical behavior and the acting loads is indispensable. The first part is devoted to a thermally coupled simulation (conjugate heat transfer) of a fatigue experiment. The simulation contains a thermal FEM model of the fatigue specimen structure, RANS simulations of nine cooling channel flows and a Flamelet-based RANS simulation of the hot gas flow. A pseudo-transient, implicit Dirichlet–Neumann scheme is utilized for the partitioned coupling. A comparison with the experiment shows a good agreement between the nodal temperatures and their corresponding thermocouple measurements. The second part consists of the lifetime prediction of the fatigue experiment utilizing a sequentially coupled thermomechanical analysis scheme. First, a transient thermal analysis is carried out to obtain the temperature field within the fatigue specimen. Afterwards, the computed temperature serves as input for a series of quasi-static mechanical analyses, in which a viscoplastic damage model is utilized. The evolution and progression of the damage variable within the regions of interest are thoroughly discussed. A comparison between simulation and experiment shows that the results are in good agreement. The crucial failure mode (doghouse effect) is captured very well.

Abstract:
The application of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier- Stokes (RANS) equations to the design of sailing yachts is becoming more commonplace, particularly for the America's Cup. Drawing on the experience of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne as Official Scientific Advisor to the Alinghi Challenge for the America’s Cup 2003, the role of RANS-based codes in the yacht design process is discussed. The strategy for simulating the hydrodynamic flow around the boat appendages is presented. Two different numerical methods for the simulation of wave generation on the water surface are compared. In addition, the aerodynamic flow around different sail configurations is investigated. The benefits to the design process as well as its limitations are discussed. Practical matters, such as manpower and computational requirements, are also considered.

Abstract:
Abstract Design requirements for submarines regarding resistance, maneuverability, stability and stealth tighten with each new generation. Fully understanding the hydrodynamics of the vessels is key if performance requirements need to be met. In this paper, the numerical simulation with three different turbulent models, Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) Realizable k-ε model, RANS SST (Menter’s Shear Stress Transport) k-ω model and the large eddy simulation (LES) are used to simulate the self-propulsion of DARPA SUBOFF submarine under V = 2.755m/s, and the simulation results are compared and analyzed. The comparisons show that the RANS method can be used to simulate the drag and pressure of submarine self-propulsion accurately. The surface pressure of LES is more accurate for fine flow field, the simulation of self-propelled parameters is less as accurate might because the mesh is not refine enough.

Abstract:
The standard k-ε eddy viscosity model is the most commonly used model in computational fluid dynamics and perform well in application, but less effective for flows with high mean shear rate or massive separation. An non-linear eddy viscosity k-ε model was developed to compensate the deficit, in which the Cμ determined by an expression of shear strain rate rather than a constant on the base of experimental and DNS data. Two-dimensional CFD simulations were carried out by proposed NL k-ε model and standard k-ε model for wind-turbine airfoil S809 with the general purpose CFD code ANSYS CFX 12.1. Results show that standard k-ε can predict the flow around the airfoil for angles of attack with attached flow, but is not qualified for flow at angles of attack with strong flow separation, whereas non-linear k-ε model can improve the accuracy of the performance coefficients to some extent, and when large flow separation generates, non-linear k-ε model can improve the accuracy of pressure distribution around the airfoil and simulate the flow separation more correctly.

Abstract:
Abstract Numerically simulating a ship with six-degrees-of-freedom response motions of an unsteady maneuver in a wave environment is very important in seakeeping characteristics of ship design. This paper presents the simulation studies of the turning motion in regular waves of the ONRT model. Numerical simulations were performed using viscous CFD code HUST-Ship to solve the RANS equation coupled with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) solid body motion equations and dynamic overset grids designed for ship hydrodynamics. RANS equations are solved by the finite difference method (FDM) and PISO arithmetic. The level-set method is used to simulate the free surface flow. Before the turning circle simulation, a V&V study is conducted for the total towed resistance. The real propeller was replaced by a description body force method in the process of turning motion. The constant rate of the revolution was applied throughout the simulation. The rotation of the propeller corresponds to the self-propulsion point of the model speed. The control of rudders was controlled by the following autopilot. The maximum rudder rate was assigned to 35.0 [deg/s]. The ship was released when a wave crest is passing the midship. The study focused on the parameters of the trajectories for turning circle, roll, pitch, velocity, etc, it is helpful to judge the influence of the wave on the turning motion. The simulation results match well with test data from IIHR.

Abstract:
The numerical simulation of flameless combustion with liquid fuels is presented. Computations follow a RANS approach for turbulence modeling with a global reaction mechanism and the eddy dissipation concept for the combustion. Several approaches were tested for defining spray boundary conditions. A phenomenological analysis of the two-phase mixing and heat transfer that follow the injection enabled us to derive the spray boundary conditions that would eventually lead to our main goal; the simulation of flameless combustion. Computation results are compared to experimental measurements. First the isothermal mean velocity field computation is validated using LDA measurements. Then, temperature and CO2 radial-profiles at different axial positions and CO and NOx concentration levels at the outlet are compared to experimental data. The effect of spray initial conditions, inlet temperature, mixture properties and chemistry are analyzed.

This paper presents a feasibility study of a hybrid RANS–LES approach to numerical simulation of aircraft wing-tip vortices. A NACA 0012 wing is considered for which earlier published experimental and numerical data are available. Mesh sensitivity tests of our RANS solver and comparisons between two different turbulence models indicate that the RANS approach adequately describes the flow upstream from the trailing edge, but overestimates the rate of decay of the wing-tip vortex. A hybrid RANS–LES method is presented that results in a better agreement with the wind tunnel experiment, hence this approach is suggested for numerical simulation of the wake of an airliner.

Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, nourishes gravel downstream of Howard Hanson Dam (HHD) on the Green River in Washington State. The study team developed numerical models to support the ongoing salmonid habitat improvement mission downstream of HHD. Recent advancements in computing and numerical modeling software make long-term simulations in steep, gravel, cobble, and boulder river environments cost effective. The team calibrated mobile-bed, sediment-transport models for the pre-dam and post-dam periods. The modeling explored geomorphic responses to flow and sediment regime changes associated with HHD construction and operation. The team found that pre-dam conditions were significantly more dynamic than post-dam conditions and may have had lower spawning habitat quality in the project vicinity. The team applied the Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model to the site and then calibrated to the post-dam gravel augmentation period. The team implemented a new hiding routine in HEC-RAS that improved the simulated grain size trends but underestimated coarse sediment transport. Models without the hiding function overestimated grain size but matched bed elevations and mass flux very well. Decade-long simulations of four future gravel nourishment conditions showed continued sediment storage in the reach. The storage rate was sensitive to nourishment mass and grain size.
