Three-Dimensional Viscous Flow Analysis for Moving Bodies Past Fixed Structures

Abstract

A prototype computer program has been written to calculate three dimensional viscous compressible flow past bodies in relative motion. The program solves the Navier-Stokes equations using multiple zones of mesh. During the Phase I research and development effort, routines were written to allow the meshes to move and to couple the solutions in adjacent zones along sliding boundaries. The importance of a well planned software structure was demonstrated. The code a was applied to a turbine rotor/stator interaction problem. Keywords: Three dimensional flow; Navier Stokes; Viscous flow; Compressible flow; Zonal flow; Unsteady flow; Computer programming.
