Investigation on the Capability of a Non Linear CFD Code to Simulate Wave Propagation

Abstract

The potential wave propagation is described by defining the driving parameters of the propagation characteristics. Then a parametric study with a non linear code is performed in order to define the mesh refinement needed to obtain a sufficient accuracy in the predictions of inflow and outflow perturbation propagation. The results are compared with a linear version of the code as well as with a linear code for flat plate response showing the good behavior of the non linear code. As additional test cases, the behavior of the code for simulating the response omicron a cascade of flat plates to potential disturbances is investigated. Results from the different linear and non linear codes are also compared. Different cases are investigated including one with large resonances, which is shown to be the most difficult case to be predicted, in special the resonance peaks as well as the trailing edge region regarding the wave phase behavior.
