DETACHED EDDY SIMULATIONS IN THE STUDY OF AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TURBULENT MIXING LAYER

Abstract

The turbulent mixing layer is a phenomenon that occurs and has many applications in aeronautical engineering. The study of mixing layer turbulence by the numerical method is suitable under domestic conditions. Two numerical simulation methods are used in most studies including, direct numerical simulation DNS and large eddy simulation LES, while there are very few studies using detached eddy simulation DES. In this article, the authors use numerical simulation methods evolving Reynolds average Navier-Stokes simulation RANS and detached eddy simulation DES to propose a numerical simulation model that allows to study of the aerodynamic characteristics of the turbulent flow interaction. RANS is used to evaluate grid independence. With the selected mesh, two models counting the DES-2D model and the DES-3D model are conducted. Processing velocity field data with Matlab code, the results show that the average flow behavior has closely followed the experimental results, while the turbulent kinetic energy still has a large error. POD and Q-criterion analysis has shown some large coherent structures in the interaction region.
