Wing-body junction
Abstract
This entry features the flow around a 3D wing-body junction based on the configuration considered in Apsley and Leschziner (2001), whose geometry consists of a semi-elliptical 3:2 nose with a NACA0020 tail profile mounted on a flat plate. Wing-body junction flow problems are relevant for the prediction of corner-flow separation encountered in applications of aeronautical interest. This flow is highly 3D and anisotropic regarding the turbulent stresses, which poses a challenge to existing RANS modeling approaches.
An under-resolved Direct Numerical Simulation (uDNS) of this test case has been performed using the high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) code MIGALE, see Bassi et al. (2016). The code couples the DG spatial discretization with a high-order implicit time integration, which relies on Rosenbrock schemes.
The present database has been created with the aim of providing more thorough information on the flow field with respect to existing experiments, albeit computed for half of the experimental incoming boundary layer thickness and hence not directly comparable with the experiments, and of allowing for exploitation by Machine Learning or data-assimilation techniques to improve standard RANS models.
The provided statistical quantities in the database are:
- mean pressure and velocity components;
- Reynolds stress components;
- Taylor microscale;
- Kolmogorov length and time scales;
As the solver discretizes the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, density and temperature fields, as well their gradients, have been collected during the computational campaign. However, since the flow regime is incompressible (), these fields are a side product of this contribution and thus are not reported.
