EVALUATION OF TURBULENCE MODELS FOR THE PREDICTION OF VORTEX INTERACTION OVER A FIGHTER AIRCRAFT
Résumé
In the present work, the numerical simulations of flow around a fighter aircraft at several angles of attack are performed with the flow solver ISIS-CFD which is an incompressible unsteady Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes method. Three RANSbased turbulence models, as the isotropic k-SST, the non-linear anisotropic EARSM, and the Reynolds stress transport model SSGLRR- and one hybrid RANS-LES model, the DDES-SST, are used. All these turbulence models are based on k- model. Forces and moments as well as flow field data are compared with experimental measurements. For the RANS-based turbulence models, the results obtained with k- SST agree relatively well with the experimental data and it is the better approach for this class of turbulence models. However, the results obtained with DDES-SST are in better agreement with experiments.
