Abstract
The inlet, isolation section, and other internal flow components are important parts of the aircraft propulsion system. Their performances affect the stability of the entire propulsion system. According to those components, complicated shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SBLI), flow separation, and secondary flow phenomena would occur. The commonly used turbulence models, SA and SST, cannot predict the anisotropy of turbulence. This deficiency makes the calculated results differ significantly from the experimental results and cannot accurately predict their aerodynamic performance. This paper validates the feasibility and effectiveness of the turbulence models based on quadratic constitutive relation (QCR) correction applied to the flow of square duct, compression corners, diffusing 3D S-Duct, and axisymmetric cylindrical isolator. This can support future calculations of complex flow fields with flow separation and secondary flow phenomena in the subsonic or supersonic inlet. The results show that the turbulence model with QCR correction is better than the original turbulence model. Among them, the SA-QCR2020 turbulence model is the best, which is able to predict the presence of secondary flows and large boundary layer separated flows well.
