3D Supersonic Square Duct Validation Case

EASMko2003-S Model Results
 

Link to EASMko2003-S equations

EASMko2003-S - u-velocity profiles at x/D=40 EASMko2003-S - u-velocity profiles at x/D=50

EASMko2003-S - skin friction coefficients at x/D=50 EASMko2003-S - velocity vectors at x/D=50

Note that thorough grid studies were not performed for validation cases such as this one. Especially for 3-D cases, there may still be significant discretization errors. Therefore, these validation results shown should be considered representative, but not "truth."

The plots show the EASMko2003-S results from CFL3D along with experimental data. CFL3D specified supersonic freestream conditions as the inflow BC, and used freestream turbulence intensity=0.002% and freestream turbulent viscosity (relative to laminar)=0.009 (additional details can be found in the CFL3D User's Manual, Appendix H). Please read note 5 on Notes on running CFD page. These results are from the second-finest grid (481x81x81). As can be seen from the last figure, this nonlinear model exhibits secondary circulation near the corners, and yields better velocity and skin friction results compared to the Boussinesq models SA and SSTm, shown on other pages. (In the figures, uCL is the u-velocity at the center point 2y/D=2z/D=1 in whatever x-plane you are plotting.) Note that these are compressible code results (no compressibility corrections). Some of the data files from CFL3D are given here for reference: cfl3d_result40_easmkos.dat, cfl3d_result50_easmkos.dat, cfl3d_cf50_easmkos.dat, (Note: the profiles have been interpolated using Tecplot software onto pre-set points, that may or may not correspond to the actual grid points or grid cells used in the computation.) A typical CFL3D input file is: cfl3d_sqduct_typical_easmkos.inp.

Note that this model is currently assigned MRR Level 1 for the purposes of this website. This is because at this time the TMBWG has results for this model from only one code. The results on this page are therefore not necessarily reliable until additional independent code(s) can be used to verify the model implementation.
