Abstract
In this paper, a hybrid lattice Boltzmann flux solver (LBFS) is proposed for simulation of 3D integrated hypersonic fluid-thermal-structural problems. In the solver, the macroscopic 3D Navier–Stokes equations and structural heat transfer equation are discretized by the finite volume method and the numerical fluxes at the cell interface are reconstructed by the local solution of Boltzmann equation. To compute the numerical fluxes, two lattice velocity models are introduced. One is the D1Q4 discrete velocity model for calculating the inviscid flux across the cell interface of N–S equations, and the other one is the D3Q6 model for evaluating the flux of structural energy equation. Furthermore, a new dual-thermal-resistance model is proposed to calculate the thermal properties on the fluid-structure interface. To validate the accuracy and stability of the present solver, applications for hypersonic fluid-thermal-structural analysis are demonstrated on aerodynamically heated blunt cone body at [Formula: see text]. Numerical results showed that the present solver can predict accurately the thermal properties of hypersonic fluid-thermal-structural problems and offer the potential for significant improvements in predicting fluid-structural-thermal problems of long-endurance high speed vehicles.
