Abstract

We develop a high-speed/high-precision computational program using a quasi-first principle method, which can faithfully reproduce the actual flight environment to understand the true nature of fluid phenomena. Specifically, we develop a high-precision compressible flow solver with geometric wall models and LES (Large Eddy Simulation) wall models based on hierarchical, orthogonal and equally spaced structured grids.

Reasons for using JSS2

We need large computer like JSS2 because our calculations must be large scale computations. Moreover, JSS2 has a similar architecture to the our target computer called Post-K.

Achievements of the Year

We advance the development of FFV-HC-ACE: a compressible Navier-Stokes equation solver using hierarchical, orthogonal and equally spaced structured grid. Following new functions are added to the program; calculation function of convective and viscous fluxes using image point (IP) and data communication function between oblique blocks. A flow around a NACA0012 2D airfoil is calculated as a preliminary validation of the program. Fig. 1 shows the Mach number distributions around the airfoil and block boundaries. Mach number is 0.3, Reynolds number is 10,000 and attack angle is 3 degree.
