Prediction of Transonic Shock Buffet over Supercritical Airfoil OAT15A Based on Zonal Detached-Eddy Simulation

The zonal detached-eddy simulation (ZDES) method divides the flow field into different computational modes, offering flexibility in the simulation of complex flows. The transonic shock buffet on the upper surface of the OAT15A supercritical airfoil is numerically simulated by ZDES based on the k-ω S...

description The zonal detached-eddy simulation (ZDES) method divides the flow field into different computational modes, offering flexibility in the simulation of complex flows. The transonic shock buffet on the upper surface of the OAT15A supercritical airfoil is numerically simulated by ZDES based on the k-ω SST model. The results show that the error in the low-frequency characteristics of the transonic shock buffet predicted by ZDES compared to experiments is within 3%. Its predictions of pressure fluctuations and averaged velocity agree better with the experimental data. Overall, ZDES is effective in predicting the periodic oscillations of shock waves along the streamwise direction, flow separation induced by shock wave motion, and the small-scale vortex structures in the wake region.
