The flowfields generated by gaseous slot injection into a supersonic flow at a Mach number of 3.75 and a Reynolds number of $2.07{\times}10^7$ are simulated numerically. Fine-scale turbulence effects are represented by a two-equation(k-w SST model) closure model which includes $y^+$ effects on the turbulence model. Grid convergence index(GCI) is also considered to provide a measure of uncertainty of the grid convergence. Comparison is made with experimental data and other turbulence model in term of surface static pressure distributions, the length of the upstream separation region, and the penetration height. Results indicate that the k-w SST model correctly predicts mean surface pressure distribution and upstream separation length. However, it is also observed that the numerical simulation over predicts the pressure spike and penetration height compared with experimental data. All these results are taken within $1\%$ error band of grid convergence.

By using numerical simulation, vast and detailed information and observation of the physics of flow over a train model can be obtained. However, the accuracy of the numerical results is questionable as it is affected by grid convergence error. This paper describes a systematic method of computational grid refinement for the Unsteady Reynolds Navier-Stokes (URANS) of flow around a generic model of trains using the OpenFOAM software. The sensitivity of the computed flow field on different mesh resolutions is investigated in this paper. This involves solutions on three different grid refinements, namely fine, medium, and coarse grids to investigate the effect of grid dependency. The level of grid independence is evaluated using a form of Richardson extrapolation and Grid Convergence Index (GCI). This is done by comparing the GCI results of various parameters between different levels of mesh resolutions. In this study, monotonic convergence criteria were achieved, indicating that the grid convergence error was progressively reduced. The fine grid resolution's GCI value was less than 1%. The results from a simulation of the finest grid resolution, which includes pressure coefficient, drag coefficient and flow visualization, are presented and compared to previous available data.

초음속 주 유동으로의 수직분사에 의해 생성되는 2차원 정상상태 유동장에 대한 수치모사를 수행하였다. 난류효과를 위해서 무차원 벽면거리($y^+$)를 고려한 2방정식 k-${\omega}$ SST 모델을 사용하였다. 또한 격자계에 따른 오차범위를 나타내는 방법으로 GCI(Gird Convergence Index)를 사용하여 해의 수렴성을 측정하였다. 표면 압력분포, 박리거리, 침투높이 등에 대해 실험결과 및 다른 난류모델을 이용한 결과들과 비교하였다. k-${\omega}$ SST 난류모델은 낮은 압력비에 대해서 표면 압력분포 및 박리거리 등을 정확하게 예측하였다. 그러나 압력비가 증가함에 따라 수치적 예측이 실험결과와 차이를 보이고 있다. 상기한 모든 결과는 격자계에 따른 해의 수렴성의 오차범위 1% 이내에서 측정되었다.
