Abstract
A multigrid convergence acceleration technique has been developed for solving both the Navier-Stokes and turbulence transport equations. For turbulence closure a low-Reynolds-number q-ω turbulence model is employed. To enable convergence, the stiff non-linear turbulent source terms have to be treated in a special way. Further modifications to standard multigrid methods are necessary for the resolution of shock waves in supersonic flows. An implicit LU algorithm is used for numerical time integration. Several ramped duct test cases are presented to demonstrate the improvements in performance of the numerical scheme. Cases with strong shock waves and separation are included. It is shown to be very effective to treat fluid and turbulence equations with the multigrid method.
