00:01 | Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Supersonic flow over a wedge using OpenFOAM |
00:07 | In this tutorial I will show you How to solve a compressible flow problem of supersonic flow over a wedge How to post process the results in paraView. |
00:18 | To record this tutorial I am using Linux Operating system Ubuntu version 10.04
OpenFOAM version 2.1.0 ParaView version 3.12.0 |
00:30 | To practice this tutorial a learner should have some basic knowledge of Compressible flows andGas Dynamics |
00:38 | Let us now solve supersonic flow over a wedge using OpenFOAM and see the shock structure formed using paraview |
00:47 | The problem consists of a wedge with semi-angle of 15 degrees kept in a uniform supersonic flow |
00:55 | The Inlet velocity is 5 meters per second |
01:00 | The boundary conditions are set as shown in the figure |
01:05 | The type of solver I am using here is rhoCentralFoam |
01:10 | It is a Density-based compressible flow solver It is based on central- upwind schemes of Kurganov and Tadmor |
01:21 | Open a command terminal to do this press ctrl +alt+ t keys simultaneously on your keyboard |
01:28 | In the command terminal type path for supersonic flow over a wedge |
01:35 | In the terminal Type 'run' and press enter |
01:40 | cd tutorial - and Press Enter cd compressible - and Press Enter cd rhoCentralFoam - and Press Enter |
02:02 | cd wedge15Ma5 |
02:13 | This is the name of the folder of supersonic flow over a wedge in rhoCentralFoam and press enter |
02:21 | Now type ls and press enter |
02:24 | You will see three folders : 0,constant and system. |
02:29 | Now open the blockMeshDict file,to do this |
02:34 | type cd space constant and press enter |
02:41 | cd space polyMesh note that M here is capital and press enter |
02:49 | Now type ls and press enter you can see the blockMeshDict file |
02:54 | To viewblockMeshDict file type gedit space blockMeshDict note that M and D here are capital press enter |
03:08 | let me drag this to the capture area scroll down |
03:14 | In this you need to calculate the co-ordinate for the wedge |
03:20 | This has been already calculated and set up in the problem |
03:23 | The rest of the data remains the same |
03:29 | In boundary patches boundaries are set as shown in the figure |
03:33 | Close blockMeshDict file |
03:36 | in the command terminal type cd ..(dot dot) twice to return back to wedge folder |
03:45 | Now Open the 0 folder |
03:51 | To do this type cd space 0 and press enter |
03:58 | Type ls and press enter |
04:02 | This contains the initial boundary condition for pressure,velocity and Temperature |
04:10 | Type cd .. (dot dot) and press enter.Now we need to mesh the geometry |
04:19 | To do this in the command terminal type blockMesh and Press Enter Meshing has been done |
04:32 | Now to view the geometry in the command terminal type paraFoam and press enter This will open the paraview window |
04:45 | On the left hand side of object inspector menu click APPLY |
04:53 | In this you can see the geometry in which the rectangular section upstream changes to a wedge downstream Close the paraview window |
05:05 | Now run the solver 'rhoCentralFoam' |
05:11 | To do this in the command terminal type rhoCentralFoam and Press Enter |
05:20 | The iterations running can be seen in the terminal window |
05:24 | Iterations running will stop after it converges or at the end of the time step Now the solving has been done |
05:34 | To visualise these results let us open the paraview window once again |
05:40 | In the command terminal type “paraFoam” and press Enter |
05:49 | Again on the left hand side of object inspector menu click APPLY |
05:56 | On the left hand side top in active variable control menu'you will see a drop down menu showing solid color. Now click on it And change from solid color to capital U' |
06:14 | Now make the color legend ON by clicking on the left hand side top of active variable control menu and make the color legend ON click on it |
06:28 | On top of the Paraview window you can see the VCR control Click on PLAY |
06:37 | You can see the final results of U velocity |
06:42 | Now scroll down the properties in object inspector menu on the left hand side Now click on display besides properties |
06:56 | Scroll down and click on Rescale to Size You can see the final value of Velocity magnitude |
07:05 | Similarly you can select pressureYou can see the final result of pressure Now close the paraview window |
07:16 | You can also calculate the Mach number for the flow To do this we can use the Openfoam utility by typing Mach in the command terminal |
07:26 | Type Mach |
07:29 | Note that M here is capital and press enter.You can see that Mach number is calculated for each time step |
07:36 | Now again open the paraview window.By typing in the command terminal paraFoamand press enter |
07:48 | Click APPLY scroll down.In volume fields Check the Ma box and again click APPLY |
08:04 | On top of the active variable control menu click on Solid Color and change it to Ma |
08:11 | In the VCR control menu again click on PLAY and make the color legend ON |
08:21 | You can see the Mach number in the color legend and corresponding colours |
08:29 | We notice here that when the wedge is kept in supersonic flow it produce a shock across which the flow properties like temprature, pressure
and density drastically changes |
08:43 | Now Let me switch back to the slides' The solved tutorial can be validated with exact 'solution
available in basic books of Aerodynamics by John D Anderson |
08:55 | In this tutorial we learnt: Solving a compressible flow problem
Velocity and pressure contour for the wedge OpenFOAM utility for calculating the Mach number |
09:06 | As an Assignment Vary the wedge angle between 10 ° to 15 ° to view the shock characteristic for the flow |
09:14 | This bring us to the end of tutorial watch The video available at this URL: http://spoken-tutorial.org/What_is_a_Spoken_Tutorial |
