Overview of CFD Simulations
Various large-eddy simulations (LES) and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) computations were carried out using the commercial flow solver /*ANSYS CFX (ANSYS Inc., PA, USA)/*. All simulations were performed at the nominal operation (design) point of the VAD. In total, five LES computations on different grid sizes were conducted for the verification of the LES results. The simulation at the finest grid was used as the reference case for the comparison with URANS. Here, an extended grid convergence study was performed using seven URANS grids to analyze the influence of the spatial discretization on the main assessment parameters. Additionally, URANS computations with different turbulence models were
