Question about staggered grid SIMPLE high Mach number

Harlotte · December 20, 2021, 21:22

Hi everyone,
my name is Gao. I am now using staggered grid SIMPLE to simulate gas exchange. I have successfully simulated gas flow at low speed (Mach<0.3).When I increase the speed, the results are not reasonable.
I have searched some literature and there are some collocated grids with SIMPLE at high speed. But I want to know, it is possible to use staggered grid SIMPLE at high speed.
If you can give me some advice, I will be very grateful for your help.

High Mach flows should be approached using density-based formulations. Usually, non-staggered grid is used.
