Abstract

Turbulence models are considered one of the most important sources of numerical errors in the CFD studies on different aeronautical problems. The mesh type can also affect the numerical accuracy and computational efficiency. In this paper, various simulations on the store separation from an aircraft model in the transonic flow have been carried out by coupling the CFD and the rigid body dynamics on the overset mesh. The influence of S-A model, Standard k-epsilon model, SST k-omega model and inviscid model on the simulation results is examined. Different mesh types of both unstructured mesh and structured mesh as component part in overset are also considered. Grid-independence study are first carried out. The effects of different turbulence models and mesh types are then examined by comparing the trajectories, velocities and Eulerian angles. Recommendations are given to get better results for the simulation of multi-body separation problem.
