Recent enhancements to OVERFLOW

TLDR
The purpose of this paper is to highlight some recent enhancements that have been made to the Navier-Stokes code OVERFLOW, in three major areas: a multigrid method, for convergence acceleration; a lowMach preconditioning algorithm, for converge acceleration and solution quality improvement for low Mach number flows; and a matrix dissipation algorithm for solution quality improved.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to highlight some recent enhancements that have been made to the Navier-Stokes code OVERFLOW. The enhancements we are concerned with are in three major areas: a multigrid method, for convergence acceleration; a lowMach preconditioning algorithm, for convergence acceleration and solution quality improvement for low Mach number flows; and a matrix dissipation algorithm for solution quality improvement. We will describe these methods and show examples of their efficacy.

RaNS Analysis of an Inboard Flatback Modification to the NREL Phase VI Rotor

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of modifying the inboard portion of the experimental NREL Phase VI rotor using a thickened, blunt trailing edge (or flatback) version of the S809 design airfoil are studied using a compressible, three-dimensional, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes method.

Turbulence Modeling for Shock Wave/Turbulent Boundary Layer Interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the Reynolds stress tensor lag model (lagRST) for high speed flows with turbulent boundary layer interactions (SWTBLI), which can accurately predict the separated region caused by the SWTBLIs.

Revised Reynolds Stress and Triple Product Models

TL;DR: In this paper, the Bachalo-Johnson bump flow is used as an example for the Lag methodology and triple product models are applied to accepted test cases to assess the improvement, or lack thereof, in the prediction capability of the models.

A diagonal form of an implicit approximate-factorization algorithm

TL;DR: The modification transforms the coupled system of equations into an uncoupled diagonal form that requires less computational work and has an important effect on the application of implicit finite-difference schemes to vector processors.

Preconditioned methods for solving the incompressible low speed compressible equations

TL;DR: It is sown that the resultant incompressible equations form a symmetric hyperbolic system and so are well posed, and several generalizations to the compressible equations are presented which extend previous results.

A 3-D Chimera Grid Embedding Technique

TL;DR: A three-dimensional (3-D) chimera grid-embedding technique that simplifies the construction of computational grids about complex geometries by solution of the Euler equations for the transonic flow about a wing/body, wing/ body/tail, and a configuration of three ellipsoidal bodies is described.
