Numerical Simulation Of Supersonic Compression Ramp Flow
Main Article Content
Abstract
Shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) is a highly critical problem that occurs in aircraft in transonic or supersonic flow. This study performed CFD analysis of the supersonic ramp flow of freestream Mach number 2.79. To secure reliability of the CFD analysis, adaptive mesh refinement using a gradient p sensor was used. Through this, a grid of sufficient resolution was obtained for the region of shock wave, expansion wave, and flow separation. The prediction performance of 7 turbulence models that are widely used in engineering application were compared. The baseline k–ω two-equation model showed the best prediction performance, while the SST k–ω model, which is one of the most widely used two-equation models, and the 2 Reynolds stress models showed relatively poor prediction performance. In the SWBLI problem, the use of adaptive mesh refinement made it possible to secure sufficient grid resolution; meanwhile, comparison of the prediction performance of the various turbulence models confirmed that for the SWBLI problem, the generally used turbulence model was somewhat inappropriate.
