Study on the feasibility assessment for applying the overlap grid method to numerical calculations on the ground effect has been performed. The objective of the present study is to settle the problem in the grid generation process. A low Mach number preconditioned turbulent flow solver using the overlap grid and the multi-block grid methods has been developed and applied to the ground effect simulation around the RAE 101 airfoil. It has been verified that the overlap grid method not only can provide sufficiently accurate solutions but also work out the grid generation problem in the ground effect simulations.

원형주상체 주위의 유동을 규명하기 위해 회류수조에서 원주방향으로 24개의 위치에 대하여 압력을 계측하였으며, laser sheet을 이용하여 유동을 가시화 하였다. Reynolds수가 4800에서 40000인 범위에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 원형단면체 주위의 비정상 층류유동에 대한 Navier-Stokes방정식의 해를 구하는 수치해석기법을 개발하였다. 효과적인 격자배치를 위하여 H와 O-type의 중첩격자를 사용하였고, 이산화 방법으로는 정규격자시스템에서 유한차분법을 적용하였다. 실험과 수치해석결과에서 뚜렷한 와류박리현상을 볼 수 있었으며, 압력계수 (C$_{p}$ ), 항력계수(C$_{D}$), 스트로얼수(St)를 정량적으로 비교하였을 때, 비교적 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.다.

A grid adaptation method within systems of chimera and patched grids is presented. Problem domains are divided into near-body and off-body fields. Near-body field is filled with curvilinear body-fitted grids that extend only a short distance from body surfaces and connected to other grid systems via chimera domain connectivity method. Off-body field is filled with patched uniform cartesian grids of varying levels of refinement. This method gives flexibility in grid generation and efficient adaptation capability. Several numerical experiments including 2D store separation were performed to show the performance of the proposed adaptation method.

In this paper, the carriage load analyses of stores installed on aircraft are conducted to validate the chimera grid method applied to an unstructured CFD solver, UMSAPv. First, the chimera grid method of UMSAPv is verified for the well-known Eglin Wing/Pylon/Finned store problem. Next, an angle of attack sweep of F/A-18C clean configuration is conducted at a subsonic speed. The computed results are compared with the results of the previous study using MSAPv, a structured CFD solver, to show the validity of Umsapv. Finally, the carriage of F/A-18C JDAM is carried out with a chimera grid as well as a single block grid. The computed results are compared with other computational, experimental and the flight tests.

In the present study, A 3-D chimera technique for overlapped bodies in relative motion is studied using unstructured meshes. If all node points of a mesh element at solid boundary are in another body, this element is excluded from computational domain. For computation of unsteady flow, non-active cells have proper variables using interpolation and extrapolation. These variables are used in next time step. The motion of a launching trajectory ejected from a wing and the motion of deploying fins of a trajectory which have not been simulated are computed to conform practicality of this technique.

In this paper an automated hole-finding method for overset grids is introduced which uses recursive octree-cell division. A graphic program which enables the user to do the hole-cutting with ease is also introduced. Using this program it is found that there is an optimum combination of the level of octree division and vector calculation for the efficient and fast hole finding.

A 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes solver using overlapped grids is developed to predict a flow-field around a hovering rotor. The flow solver is verified by a parametric study with the grid spacing of wake grid, spatial accuracy and turbulence model. Computations are performed with different Chimera grid systems. Computational results are compared with the experimental data of Caradonna et al. for both blade loading and the tip vortex behavior. Numerical results show good agreements with experiments for the distribution of surface pressure and tip vortex behavior. Pressure distributions over the blade have marginal differences for different numerical methods, whereas large discrepancies are seen in the prediction of the wake behavior. Results unexpectedly show that the vortex strength from an automated cut-paste Chimera grid is weaker than that from the conventional Chimera grid.

2차원 유동장내 수직 진동하는 원통의 Von Karman 와열 유동 현상에 대한 진동 주파수 계산 문제는 진동하는 물체의 비정상 공력 해석 연구 검증에 많이 사용하는 고전적 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 오픈소스 OpenFoam 기반의 중첩격자 기법을 사용하여 층류 유동장내의 수직방향 진동하는 원통 주변의 비정상 유동 현상과 원통 벽면에서의 공력 특성 변화를 해석하기 위한 일련의 해석 단계들과 결과를 타 연구그룹과 비교하였다. 원통 형상과 진동에 의한 와열 유동의 주기적 유동 특성과 복잡성 해석의 건전성을 확보하기 위하여 격자와 시간제어에 대한 해의 정확도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 수행한 해석 방법은 일관성과 신뢰성 있는 해석 결과들 보여주었으며, 향후 보다 실제적인 진동하는 에어 포일의 비정상 공력 해석 연구에 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

In the present study, a conservative overset mesh technique has been developed on 2-D unstructured meshes. A new domain connection technique between independent mesh blocks was proposed to satisfy the conservation of mass, momentum, or energy in entire computational domain. The present technique was applied to several classical computational problems to validate the superiority of the conservative method to the non-conservative method.
