Multigrid fictitious boundary method for incompressible viscous flows around moving airfoils

In this paper, an efficient multigrid fictitious boundary method (MFBM) coupled with the FEM solver package FEATFLOW was used for the detailed simulation of incompressible viscous flows around one or more moving NACA0012 airfoils. The calculations were carried on a fixed multigrid finite element mesh on which fluid equations were satisfied everywhere, and the airfoils were allowed to move freely through the mesh. The MFBM was employed to treat interactions between the fluid and the airfoils. The motion of the airfoils was modeled by Newton-Euler equations. Numerical results of experiments verify that this method provides an efficient way to simulate incompressible viscous flows around moving airfoils.     

不同对称翼型H型风力机气动性能数值模拟研究

风轮是风力发电机利用风能的核心部件,而翼型作为风轮的关键零件,其结构参数的选择的不同会对风力机性能造成极大的影响。本文选取3种常用的H型垂直轴风力机NACA系列对称翼型的绕流流动,建立其湍流流场的模型,采用移动网格技术对其进行数值分析与计算,得出风轮的力矩系数、功率及风能利用率的变化规律,在此基础上,详细分析了不同的对称翼型对垂直轴风力机风轮气动性能的影响。根据其气动性能曲线,拟合出给定工况下,风能利用率随尖速比的变化公式,更好的实现定量分析。
