In this research, a gas turbine blade cascade was investigated. Flow analysis around the blade was conducted using RSM and RNG.K-ε turbulence modeling and it is simulated by Fluent software. The results were considered for the cases as Mach number loss at the trailing edge of blade caused by vortexes that were generated at the end of blade. Effect of cooling flow through the trailing edge on th...

High Mach number astrophysical jets are simulated using a positive scheme, and are compared with WENO-LF simulations. A version of the positive scheme has allowed us to simulate astrophysical jets with radiative cooling up to Mach number 270 with respect to the heavy jet gas, a factor of two times higher than the maximum Mach number attained with the WENO schemes and ten times higher than with ...

Direct numerical simulations are conducted to investigate in detail the effect of Mach number on vortex pairing in a mixing layer. The pairing process is found to be delayed at higher Mach numbers and the paths followed by the vortices change. To investigate the effect of the initial shape of the vortices a simple vortex dynamical model of pairing is constructed which accurately models pairing ...

An optimum airfoil design for future Mars airplane for Mars exploration is obtained by evolutionary computation coupled with a two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver. The optimized airfoil design is also compared with other airfoil designs optimized at different Reynolds number or at different Mach number to discuss Reynolds number and Mach number effects on airfoil design. Thes...

In this study we propose a new numerical algorithm for droplet-laden turbulent channel flow with phase transitions at low Mach numbers. The carrier gas is treated as compressible flow. In order to avoid very small time steps at low Mach numbers that would arise from stability requirements associated with explicit time-stepping we propose a new semi-explicit time integration method, applied to t...
