Effects of LES/RANS Hybrid Interface Location on Oscillating Shockwave in Transonic Buffeting Flow
摘要
A comparative study varying both the hybrid interface location and grid spacing was conducted on a transonic buffeting flow involving an unsteady shock-wave/turbulent-boundary-layer interaction by Zonal DES, a hybrid RANS/LES method. It was demonstrated that the hybrid interface as high as 1.5 times the boundary-layer thickness was a good choice for reproducing the unsteady nature of the buffet, on the contrary to the typically recommended value of y+ around 100 (corresponding to 3.4% the boundary-layer thickness). With this interface location of y+ being 60, the grid spacing recommended for flat plate boundary-layer or even the reduced cell size led to notorious, early grid-induced separation upstream the shock.
