Sensitivity to Physical and Numerical Modeling in Navier-Stokes Simulations
Publication: Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Volume 13, Issue 2
Abstract
Navier-Stokes Multiblock code solves the fully coupled system of equations simultaneously using a cell-centered finite-volume approach. This note assesses the sensitivity to some turbulence models and numerical schemes implemented in Navier-Stokes Multiblock when computing two test cases in standard mode, i.e., without tuning the code to these two cases. The cases are (1) subsonic flow around the MS(1)-0313 airfoil, and (2) transonic flow around the ONERA M6 wing, using various combinations of models (algebraic Baldwin-Lomax or Granville, one-equation Spalart-Allmaras, or the two-equation k − ε model of Chien) together with a numerical scheme of either the second-order central or third-order Roe upwind type.
