Validation of shock-wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction flows by high-fidelity numerical simulations (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Zheltovodov, A. A., Fang, J., & Yao, Y. (2022, August). Validation of shock-wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction flows by high-fidelity numerical simulations. Paper presented at The 21st International Conference on the Methods of Aerophysical Research (ICMAR 2022), Russia and online

Shock-wave/turbulent-boundary-layer interactions (SWTBLI) are prevalent phenomena around high-speed vehicles. The resultant strong adverse pressure gradient will induce large flow separation, high wall heat flux, and strong pressure fluctuation, alon...

Influence of non-iterative time-advancement schemes on the aerodynamic prediction of pitching airfoils using dynamic mesh (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Abdessemed, C., Yao, Y., Bouferrouk, A., & Narayan, P. (2019, June). Influence of non-iterative time-advancement schemes on the aerodynamic prediction of pitching airfoils using dynamic mesh. Paper presented at 8th International Symposium on Physics of Fluids (ISPF8), Xian, China

A pitching airfoil problem is addressed in this paper to assess the use of a non-iterative time-advancement (NITA) scheme with dynamic mesh method, and also to estimate possible CPU time savings. Simulations have shown that using a combination of dyn... Read More about Influence of non-iterative time-advancement schemes on the aerodynamic prediction of pitching airfoils using dynamic mesh.
