Abstract
Results of an experimental study and numerical simulations are presented for the flow in a circular duct with an obstruction plate and an orifice (diaphragm). This is a model of components of an airplane’s Environmental Control System, or ECS. The Reynolds number of the flow is close to that in actual applications. The simulations rest on versions of the Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES) technique, with some differences in the definition of the Sub-Grid-Scale modelling length-scale. Two different CFD codes are used, the unstructured-grid BCFD code of Boeing and the high-order structured-grid NTS code. The number of grid points is around 8 million. The paper focuses on a comparison of computed and measured primary flow quantities (mean and fluctuating wall pressures). The ultimate objective is to evaluate the capabilities of the simulation approaches in predicting noise radiated into the airplane’s cabin. The agreement with experiment is generally encouraging, including spectra, with the high-order code reaching higher frequencies.
