How to get shock self oscillation in Sajben transonic diffuser?

slaon · April 2, 2014, 21:45

Hi, all:

I'm doing a transient flow in the Sajben diffuser including self-excited oscillation, following the work of
Hsieh, T., Bogar, T. J., and Coakley, T. J. (1987) "Numerical Simulation and Comparison with Experiment for Self-Excited Oscillations in a Diffuser Flow," AIAA Journal, Vol. 25, No. 7, pp. 936-943.

The steady state flow is list in NASA's verification page. The geometry looks like this.

First, I get the steady state flow. It agrees well with the mean experiment results, as shown in NASA's verification page.

Then, I start a transient calculation. The time increment is set to 1e-6 s. However, it still keeps steady state. I changed the turbulence models (standard k-e, RNG k-e, standard k-w, SST k-w). Still steay flow.

Anybody know how to get a self oscillating flow in the Sajben diffuser?

Thanks for many suggestions.

Best wishes,
Cheng, Yao.

I solved the problem by using CFL=100 in a 2nd order implicit time scheme. :-)
