Hello everyone!
I am a long time reader, first time poster. I am trying to run a rhoPimpleFoam for a steady state high reynolds number low mach airfoil but running into a supersonic flow solution. Here are the pertinent simulation parameters Chord (m): 10.85838 Re: 95,624,744 Angle of Attack (deg): 5 Uxyz (m/s): [128.1220, 11.20922, 0] Uinf (m/s): 128.611 Minf (Mach): 0.378 Tinf (K): 288.15 Pinf (Pa): 101325 rho (kg/m^3): 1.225 Pr: 0.7323 Hf (j/kg): 2.8833272E5 Y+ target: 30 Turbulence Properties: RAS, kOmegaSST, I = 0.01% k: 2.48E-4 nut: 1.2E-2 omega: 2.07E-2 I've attached as many of the files as possible to this string to help. I used gmsh for the mesh generation and those files are included as well to generate a full mesh which, after generating and saving the mesh in gmsh, can be converted using gmshToFoam <file_name.msh>. I considered running a normalized chord (1 meter) in water at 107.404m/s. The issue being this will be part of a series of test to generate CL/CD/CM plots up to the trans-sonic regime so I would like to capture those effects. Thank you very much in advance for your assistance. |

The following information is what I calculated for the inflation layers. The grid is a C-H grid. I've included an image of the C-H grid, the computations for the inflation layers, and the checkMesh output. The C-H grid has has the following properties.

I think one issue stems from the high aspect ratio mesh cells. I am using GMSH but I can not figure out how to generate an inflation layer and maintain a structured CH mesh. Every topic or example I've seen has been an inflation layer connected to an unstructured mesh. I used this video (slowed down to 25% playback):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bekRbU7rtZE as the basis for generating the mesh, except for the wake spacing. I tried using snappyHexMesh earlier in the process but the blender plugin doesnt seem to work on linux for some reason.
Thanks in advance for any help. |
