Parameter-Free Simple Low-Dissipation AUSM-Family Scheme for All Speeds

01 Aug 2011-AIAA Journal (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA))-Vol. 49, Iss: 8, pp 1693-1709
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple low-dissipation numerical flux function of the AUSM-family for all speeds, called the simple low dissipation AUSMs, was proposed.
Abstract: This paper presents a new, simple low-dissipation numerical flux function of the AUSM-family for all speeds, called the simple low-dissipation AUSM. In contrast with existing all-speed schemes, the simple low-dissipation AUSM features low dissipation without any tunable parameters in a low Mach number regime while it keeps the robustness of the AUSM-family fluxes against shock-induced anomalies at high Mach numbers (e.g., carbuncle phenomena). Furthermore, the simple low-dissipation AUSM has a simpler formulation than the other all-speed schemes. These advantages of the present scheme are demonstrated in numerical examples of a wide spectrum of Mach numbers.

TL;DR: Three schemes are developed that have Mach-proportional dissipation inside the numerical shock wave structure, in contrast to Mach independent dissipation provided by conventional AUSM fluxes, and their desired performances are demonstrated for a wide spectrum of Mach numbers.

TL;DR: This study proposes a robust and (second-order) accurate hybrid reconstruction method of WLSQ and G–G that is suitable for, but not limited to, those mixed grids in a unified manner, which overcomes the abovementioned difficulties encountered by existing methods.
Abstract: T HE gradient calculation for the reconstruction of dependent variables is one of the critical issues for the accuracy and robustness of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. There are many choices for the reconstruction for arbitrary polyhedra or polygons in unstructured meshes [1–4], which are represented by a family of weighted-least-squares (WLSQ) methods (including unweighted-least-squares [LSQ]) and a Green–Gauss (G–G) method. The WLSQ methods give exact gradients for a linear distribution of thevariables.On the other hand, theG–Greconstruction has this property only on symmetric and uniform meshes, because this method requires variables to be exactly on face centers, which are not generally obtained in a simple manner on Cartesian grids having hanging nodes (Fig. 1), for instance. Meanwhile, on thin-and-curved mesh that often appears in boundary layers for highReynolds number flow simulations, LSQ reportedly gives totally erratic gradients [1]; WLSQwith a properly chosen weighting function or G–G has better performance, albeit associated with certain errors, as shown in [5]. Therefore, each cell type/geometry has its own favorite gradient reconstructionmethods, for example Cartesian grids preferWLSQ to G–G, whereas thin-and-curved mesh does the opposite. Then, it is a natural question how to deal with the mixed grids of different types of cells. In recent years, body-fitted/Cartesian hybrid grids (sometimes called viscous Cartesian grids) [4,6–9] have been recognized as one of the standard types of unstructured grids, because they can resolve boundary layers as well as structured grids do, while saving the number of cells away from the wall. Thus, in this study, we will propose a robust and (second-order) accurate hybrid reconstruction method of WLSQ and G–G that is suitable for, but not limited to, those mixed grids in a unified manner, which overcomes the abovementioned difficulties encountered by existing methods. Our discussions are based on cell-centered schemes but are extendable to the cell-vertex counterpart by the simple replacement of the word “cell” with “control volume.” We point out here that many CFD practitioners still desire secondorder accuracy in space within the framework of an unstructured grid finite volume method (FVM) [10–13]. This has motivated us to pursue a second-order-accurate reconstruction method that is applicable to wide-ranging grid types and/or geometries, in spite of the growing attention to more sophisticated, higher order methods, such as in [14], spectral volume [15], or residual distribution [16,17] in the past several years.

TL;DR: In this article, an algebraic turbulence model for two-and three-dimensional separated flows is specified that avoids the necessity for finding the edge of the boundary layer, and compared with experiment for an incident shock on a flat plate, separated flow over a compression corner, and transonic flow over an airfoil.
Abstract: An algebraic turbulence model for two- and three-dimensional separated flows is specified that avoids the necessity for finding the edge of the boundary layer. Properties of the model are determined and comparisons made with experiment for an incident shock on a flat plate, separated flow over a compression corner, and transonic flow over an airfoil. Separation and reattachment points from numerical Navier-Stokes solutions agree with experiment within one boundary-layer thickness. Use of law-of-the-wall boundary conditions does not alter the predictions significantly. Applications of the model to other cases are contained in companion papers.

TL;DR: When approximating a hyperbolic system of conservation laws w t + {f(w)} t = 0 with so-called upwind differences, one must determine in which direction each of a variety of signals moves through the computational grid.
Abstract: When approximating a hyperbolic system of conservation laws w t + {f(w)} t = 0 with so-called upwind differences, we must, in the first place, establish which way the wind blows. More precisely, we must determine in which direction each of a variety of signals moves through the computational grid. For this purpose, a physical model of the interaction between computational cells is needed; at present two such models are in use.
