Numerical Simulations of Flat Plate Turbulent Boundary Layer in Supersonic Flow

F. Villassenor and D. Radosavlevijec,
PHOENICS Journal of CFD & its applications, volume 1, No2, pp 141-213

Numerical simulation of the turbulent compressible supersonic boundary-layer flow on flat plates has been performed, and the results compared with previously-published correlations and experimental data. Two low-Reynolds-number turbulence models (Prandtl mixing-length with Van Driest hypothesis, and Lam and Bremhorst version of k-e model) have been employed. The kinematic heating and variation of viscosity and density (due to the temperature) are taken into account. The plate wall may be considered with or without heat transfer. The results provided are the local skin friction along the plate, and the velocity, temperature, shear stress, eddy viscosity and mixing-length distributions across the stream.

One-dimensional Steady Transonic Shocked Flow in a Nozzle

M.R. Malin and L. Sanchez,
PHOENICS Journal of CFD & its applications, volume 1, No2, pp 214-246

Calculations are reported of steady, one-dimensional, inviscid, transonic shocked flow in nozzles. The Euler equations are solved in finite-volume form by use of the PHOENICS computer program. Computations are carried out in order to assess the influences of: the formulation of the momentum equation; the use of alternative sets of Euler equations; and the use of different grid densities. Solutions are presented for four different back pressures, three of which produce shocked flow and one of which produces transonic shock-free flow. In all cases the results of the calculations compare favourably with analytical solutions. The shock-captuirng ability of the computational method for normal shock waves is clearly demonstrated. However, it was found that care must be taken in the formulation of the discretised equations for the shock waves to be predicted accurately.

Comparison of the PHOENICS Package to a Finite Element Package for Simple Convection-Diffusion Problems

G.J. van Dijk, A. Lamers and A.A. van Steenhoven,
PHOENICS Journal of CFD & its applications, volume 1, No2, pp 247-269

The finite volume package PHOENICS is evaluated by considering a few relatively simple test cases. These test cases mainly deal with pure diffusion and convection-diffusion problems. The numerical results of the package are compared to analytical solutions and solutions obtained by using a finite element package.

Provision of Monitor Print-out for more than one-location

H.I Rosten and J.K Worrel,
PHOENICS Journal of CFD & its applications, volume 1, No2, pp 270-281

A new subroutine is provided which makes use of the standard GRAPH subroutine to tabulate and plot, on a lineprinter, the values of variables sweep-by sweeep for a potentially unlimited number of monitor points.
