Abstract
This study deals with the numerical solution of a 2D unsteady flow of a compressible viscous fluid in a channel for low inlet airflow velocity. The unsteadiness of the flow is caused by a prescribed periodic motion of a part of the channel wall with large amplitudes, nearly closing the channel during oscillations. The flow is described by the system of Navier‐Stokes equations for laminar flows. The numerical solution is implemented using the finite volume method (FVM) and the predictor‐corrector Mac‐Cormack scheme with Jameson artificial viscosity using a grid of quadrilateral cells. Due to the motion of the grid, the basic system of conservation laws is considered in the arbitrary Lagrangian‐Eulerian (ALE) form. The numerical results of unsteady flows in the channel are presented for inlet Mach number M∞ = 0.012, Reynolds number Re∞ = 4481, and the wall motion frequency 100 Hz.
