Computation of Turbulent Flows with Separation

  • Conference paper
Numerical Flow Simulation III

Summary

The results of collaboration of two research groups whose aim is the simulation of turbulent flows with separation are presented. An important aspect of the collaboration was further development, optimization, and validation of the codes used at the two sites. This required detailed analysis of iteration and discretization errors as well as implementation details to ensure that the same grid-independent result is obtained when the same problem is solved using the two codes. Upon validation the codes were applied to some complex turbulent flows with separation and the results were compared with available experimental data in order to assess the modeling errors. Here the results of computations of flows around an airfoil, a vehicle model, and a circular cylinder are presented.
