Numerical modeling of unsteady subsonic flow over the conical shape body

Abstract

The article presents the results of a numerical study of the unsteady vortex motion of gas arising over the conical body with a segmental bottom surface for various angles of attack in a subsonic flow regime. The simulation is based on the viscous compressible gas model (Navier–Stokes model). For various attack angles, the patterns of vortex flow around the conical surface of the body, in the area of its conjugation with the segmental bottom surface and in the near wake are presented. Data on non-stationary behavior and the magnitude of pressure in the conjugation area are given. For numerical simulation the method of finite volumes is used. Taking into account phenomena of the flow separation, the computational grids used have condensation to the surface of the body. Numerical calculations were carried out on the basis of parallel algorithms of the method and were realized on multiprocessor computing complexes.
