ANALYSIS OF THE BEHAVIOR OF OPENFOAM SOLVERS FOR 3D PROBLEM OF SUPERSONIC FLOW AROUND A CONE AT AN ANGLE OF ATTACK
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
This paper is devoted to comparative analysis of numerical methods accuracy. Comparative estimation of accuracy is performed for numerical methods presented as solvers integrated to open sotware package OpenFOAM. Three different OpenFOAM solvers are selected to numerically solve the problem of supersonic flow around a cone. The angle of attack, cone half-angle and Mach number were varied in the selected ranges with a certain step. This approach is implemented using a generalized computational experiment that allows, based on parallel technologies, the simultaneous solution of the same basic problem with different input parameters. A number of test calculations were carried out. The deviation fields of gas-dynamic quantities for all solvers are analyzed. The construction of a generalized computational experiment made it possible to compare the accuracy of the considered solvers not only for one, separately taken problem, but for a class of problems specified by the ranges of variation of the determining parameters. Such an assessment of accuracy can be very useful for users of the software package when choosing a solver. Also, the results obtained can be useful for solver developers.
