(Aameen) vi ABSTRACT Magnetofluiddynamics(MFD)isthebranchoffluid dynamics that involves mutual interaction of electrically conducting non-magnetic fluids and magnetic fields. MFD offers promising advances in flow control and propulsion of future hypersonic vehicles. With the advent of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the numerical study of inherently complicated fluid dynamics problems, such as flows at high velocities, high-temperature re-entry bodies, and mixed subsonic-supersonic flows, has become an interesting area of research. Further advancement in high-speed cluster machines and development of efficient algorithmshasmadeitpossibletoexploreMFDproblemsnumerically. In this work, development and validation of numerical algorithms for the simulation of MFD problems of supersonic and hypersonic flows have been conducted. Validity of low magnetic Reynolds number approximation has been checked with respect to the results obtained from full MFD equations. In addition to the two commonly used formulations for MFD, a third formulation based on the decomposition of a magnetic field for solving full MFD equations was explored. The governing equations were transformed to a generalized computational domain and discretized using a finite difference technique. A time-explicit multistage Runge-Kutta scheme augmented with total variation diminishing (TVD) limiters for time integration was implemented. The developed codes were validated with the existing closed form solution of the magnetic Rayleigh problem for both two- and three- dimensional cases. The results obtained from decomposed full MFD equations compare well with the results obtained by solving low magnetic Reynolds number approximation and classical full MFD equations for a wide range of magnetic Reynolds numbers. It is shown that the decomposed full MFD technique requires substantially less computation time compare to classical full MFD equations for the solution of flow fields with strong imposed magnetic fields. Finally, high-speed flows over a backward-facing step that is subject to an applied magnetic field were numerically simulated. The global domain of computation was vii decomposed into upstream and downstream domains from the step location. The low magnetic Reynolds number approximation under a multiblock grid approach was used for modeling the backstep flow. Pressure distribution for the Navier-Stokes analysis was found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Different types of magnetic field distributions were investigated. Both uniform and variable electrical conductivity distributions were considered. It was observed that an increase in the separation zone and displacement of oblique shock wave towards the exit section occurs subsequent to application of the magnetic field. A comparison of results obtained with uniform and variable electrical conductivities showed a reduction in magnetic interaction for variable electrical conductivity. viii LIST OF FIGURES Figure Page 1.1Bowshockwaveinfrontofblunt-body..................... 4 1.2 Comparison of flow field obtained without and with the application of mag- netic field..................................... 7 2.1 Hypersonic flowoverblunt-body........................ 17 2.2 Illustration of supersonic flow fieldoverbackward-facingstep........ 39 3.1 Different types of boundary conditions for a typical external flow...... 75 5.1 Solution algorithm based on modifiedRunge-Kuttascheme......... 120 5.2Solutionalgorithmbasedonmultiblockapproach............... 131 6.1 Development of velocity profilesforMFDRayleighproblem......... 136 6.2 Comparison of numerical and analytical velocity distributions for different time intervals at Rm =2.5. ........................... 139 6.3 Comparison of numerical and analytical induced magnetic field distributions for different time intervals at Rm =2.5..................... 140 6.4 Comparison of velocities obtained by Full MFD and low magnetic Reynolds 3 number formulations at Rm =2.5 10− . ................... 141 6.5 Comparison of induced magnetic fi×eld distributions obtained from Full MFD formulation for differentvaluesofmagneticReynoldsnumber........ 142 6.6 Percentage average error in velocities obtained by Full MFD and low mag- netic Reynolds number formulations for different values of magnetic Reynolds number...................................... 143 6.7 Wall clock time for full MFD and low magnetic Reynolds number formulations.144 6.8 Comparison of velocities obtained from exact solution and DFMFD formu- lation at differenttimeintervals......................... 146 6.9 Comparison of induced magnetic fields obtained from exact solution and DFMFD formulation at differenttimeintervals................ 147 6.10 Comparison of velocities obtained by DFMFD, FMFD, and low magnetic 3 Reynolds number formulations at Rm =2.5 10− . ............. 148 6.11 Comparison of induced magnetic fields obtained× from FMFD and DFMFD formulations for different time intervals at Rm =2.5. ............ 149 6.12 Wall clock time for FMFD, DFMFD, and low magnetic Reynolds number formulations................................... 150 6.13 Comparison of wall clock times taken by FMFD and DFMFD formulations 3 for magnetic field strength of 1.422 10− TatRm =0.125. ........ 153 × xii 6.14 Comparison of wall clock times taken by FMFD and DFMFD formulations 2 for magnetic field strength of 1.3944 10− TatRm =0.125. ....... 154 6.15 Comparison of wall clock times taken× by FMFD and DFMFD approaches 3 2 for magnetic field strength of 1.422 10− TatRm =2.5 10− . ..... 155 6.16 Comparison of wall clock times taken× by FMFD and DFMFD× approaches 2 2 for magnetic field strength of 1.3944 10− TatRm =2.5 10− ...... 156 6.17 Wall clock time for FMFD, DFMFD,× and low magnetic Reynolds× number formulations................................... 158

  • AA200 Ch 11 Two-Dimensional Airfoil Theory Cantwell.Pdf
    CHAPTER 11 TWO-DIMENSIONAL AIRFOIL THEORY ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 11.1 THE CREATION OF CIRCULATION OVER AN AIRFOIL In Chapter 10 we worked out the force that acts on a solid body moving in an inviscid fluid. In two dimensions the force is F d = Φndlˆ − U (t) × Γ(t)kˆ (11.1) ρ oneunitofspan dt ∫ ∞ ( ) Aw where Γ(t) = !∫ UicˆdC is the circulation about the body integrated counter-clockwise Cw about a path that encloses the body. It should be stated at the outset that the creation of circulation about a body is fundamentally a viscous process. The figure below from Van Dyke’s Album of Fluid Motion depicts what happens when a viscous fluid is moved impulsively past a wedge. Figure 11.1 Starting vortex formation about a corner in an impulsively started incompressible fluid. 1 A purely potential flow solution would negotiate the corner giving rise to an infinite velocity at the corner. In a viscous fluid the no slip condition prevails at the wall and viscous dissipation of kinetic energy prevents the singularity from occurring. Instead two layers of fluid with oppositely signed vorticity separate from the two faces of the corner to form a starting vortex. The vorticity from the upstream facing side is considerably stronger than that from the downstream side and this determines the net sense of rotation of the rolled up vortex sheet. During the vortex formation process, there is a large difference in flow velocity across the sheet as indicated by the arrows in Figure 11.1. Vortex formation is complete when the velocity difference becomes small and the starting vortex drifts away carried by the free stream.

  • On the Circulation and the Position of the Forward Stagnation Point on Airfoils
    On the circulation and the position of the forward stagnation point on airfoils J. Meseguer (corresponding author), G. Alonso, A. Sanz-Andres and I. Perez-Grande IDR/UPM. EJ.S.I. Aeronauticos, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, E-28040 Madrid, Spain E-mail: jmeseguer@idr. upm. es Abstract Lift and velocity circulation around airfoils are two aspects of the same phenomenon when airfoils are not stalled and the Kutta-Joukowski theorem applies. This theorem establishes a linear dependence between lift and circulation, which breaks when stalling occurs. As the angle of attack increases beyond this point, the circulation vanishes. Since the circulation determines to a great extent the position of the forward stagnation point on an airfoil, the measurement of this position is an easy and simple way to determine the circulation, which is of help in understanding the role of the latter in the generation of aerodynamic forces on airfoils. Keywords Kutta-Joukowski theorem; airfoil; stagnation point Introduction Wing profiles are aerodynamic devices which are designed to provide high values of the ratio lift/aerodynamic drag, lid. Airfoils are characterised by the camber line, the thickness distribution and the angle of attack. These streamlined two- dimensional bodies generally have a rounded leading edge and a wedged trailing edge, the latter being of paramount importance in generating lift. As is well known, due to the airfoil's shape, in normal operation the flow is accel­ erated on the airfoil's upper side and decelerated on its lower side. Hence, the pres­ sure decreases on the upper side and increases on the lower side, and thus a net force appears.
