Computation of slat noise sources using adaptive FEM and lighthill's analogy

In: 19th AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This is a summary of preliminary results from simulations with the 30P30N high-lift device. We used the General Galerkin finite element method (G2), where no explicit subgrid model is used, and where the computational mesh is adaptively refined with respect to a posteriori error estimates for a quantity of interest. The mesh is fully unstructured and the solutions are time-resolved, which are key ingredients for solving challenging industrial applications in the field of aeroacoustics. We present preliminary results containing time-averaged quantities and snapshots of unsteady quantities, all reasonably agreeing with previous computational efforts. One important finding is that the use of adaptively generated meshes seems to be a more effcient way of computing aeroacoustic sources than by using "handmade" meshes.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- We present a time-resolved, adaptive finite element method for aerodynamics, together with the results from the HiLiftPW-2 workshop, where this method is used to compute the flow past a DLR-F11 aircraft model at realistic Reynolds number. The mesh is automatically constructed by the method as part of the computation, and no explicit turbulence model is needed. The effect of unresolved turbulent boundary layers is modeled by a simple parametrization of the wall shear stress in terms of the skin friction. In the extreme case of very high Reynolds numbers we approximate the small skin friction by zero skin friction, corresponding to a free slip boundary condition, which results in a computational model without any model parameter that needs tuning. Thus, the simulation methodology by- passes the main challenges posed by high Reynolds number CFD: the design of an optimal computational mesh, turbulence (or subgrid) modeling, and the cost of boundary layer res- olution. The results from HiLiftPW-2 presented in this report show good agreement with experimental data for a range of different angles of attack, while using orders of magnitude fewer degrees of freedom than what is needed in state of the art methods such as RANS.

Turbulent flow and Fluid–structure interaction
- 2012

In: Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering. - : Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH. ; , s. 543-552
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The FEniCS Project aims towards the goals of generality, efficiency, and simplicity, concerning mathematical methodology, implementation and application, and the Unicorn project is an implementation aimed at FSI and high Re turbulent flow guided by these principles. Unicorn is based on the DOLFIN/FFC/FIAT suite and the linear algebra package PETSc. We here present some key elements of Unicorn, and a set of computational results from applications. The details of the Unicorn implementation are described in Chapter 18.

Unicorn : Parallel adaptive finite element simulation of turbulent flow and fluid-structure interaction for deforming domains and complex geometry
- 2011
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- We present a framework for adaptive finite element computation of turbulent flow and fluid-structure interaction, with focus on general algorithms that allow for complex geometry and deforming domains. We give basic models and finite element discretization methods, adaptive algorithms and strategies for e cient parallel implementation. To illustrate the capabilities of the computational framework, we show a number of application examples from aerodynamics, aero-acoustics, biomedicine and geophysics. The computational tools are free to download open source as Unicorn, and as a high performance branch of the finite element problem solving environment DOLFIN, both part of the FEniCS project

Unicorn : A unified continuum mechanics solver
- 2012
-
In: Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering. - : Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH. ; , s. 339-361
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter provides a description of the technology of Unicorn focusing on simple, efficient and general algorithms and software for the Unified Continuum (UC) concept and the adaptive General Galerkin (G2) discretization as a unified approach to continuum mechanics. We describe how Unicorn fits into the FEniCS framework, how it interfaces to other FEniCS components, what interfaces and functionality Unicorn provides itself and how the implementation is designed. We also present some examples in fluid–structure interaction and adaptivity computed with Unicorn.

Simulation of 3D unsteady incompressible flow past a NACA 0012 wing section
- 2012
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- We present computational simulations of three-dimensional unsteady high Reynolds number incompressible flow past a NACA 0012 wing profile, for a range of angles of attack, from low lift through stall. A stabilized finite element method is used, referred to as General Galerkin (G2), with adaptive mesh refinement with respect to the error in target output, such as aerodynamic forces. Computational predictions of aerodynamic forces are validated against experimental data.
