Firstly, the empirical correlation functions involved in the Y-Reo transition model are modified and calibrated with experimental data of turbulent flat plates. Then, the grid convergence is studied on NLR-7301 two-element airfoil with the modified empirical correlation. At last, the modified empirical correlation is validated with NLR-7301 two-element airfoil and high-lift trapezoidal wing from transition location, velocity pro- file in boundary layer, surface pressure coefficient and aerodynamic characteristics. The numerical results illustrate that the numerical accuracy of transition length and skin friction behind transition location are improved with modified empirical correlation function, and obviously increases the numerical accuracy of aerodynamic characteristics prediction for typical transport configurations in low-speed range.展开更多

The instantaneous quantities in the flow field were decomposed into the Favre-averaged variables and the stochastic fluctuations, which were calculated by unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes （U-RANS） equations and the PDF model, respectively. A joint fluctuating velocity- frequency-composition PDF was used. The governing equa- tions are solved by a consistent hybrid finite volume/Monte- Carlo algorithm on triangular unstructured meshes. A non- reacting flow behind a triangular-shaped bluff body flame stabilizer in a rectilinear combustor was simulated by the present method. The results demonstrate the capability of the present method to capture the large-scale coherent struc- tures. The triple decomposition was performed, by divid- ing the coherent Favre-averaged velocity into time-averaged value and periodical coherent part, to analyze the coherent and incoherent contributions to Reynolds stresses. A sim- ple modification to the coefficients in the turbulent frequency model will help to improve the simulation results. Unsteady flow fields were depicted by streamlines and vorticity con- tours.
