Keynote Title:
Compact high-order algorithms for simulation in turbomachinery with sliding mesh
Abstract:
In this presentation, we will introduce the high-order compact gas-kinetic scheme (CGKS) for simulating compressible flows on a rotating coordinate frame. Our scheme utilizes the kinetic equation, which considers both centrifugal and Coriolis acceleration. By updating the cell averaged conservative variables and their gradients in both the rotating and stationary domains, we have developed a third-order compact reconstruction method with a sliding interface between them. In addition to obtaining high-order spatial reconstruction, we have also achieved fourth-order time accuracy using the multi-stage multi-derivative time stepping method, which involves only two stages for a fourth-order time accuracy. Our CGKS has been successfully applied to simulate subsonic acoustic wave propagation and high Mach number shock interactions in turbomachinery.
