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 postprocess the results in paraView. |
00:18 | To record this tutorial, I am using:Linux Operating system Ubuntu version 10.04OpenFOAM version 2.1.0ParaView version 3.12.0 |
00:30 | The tutorials were recorded using the versions specified in previous slide. Subsequently the tutorials were edited to latest versions. To install latest system requirements go to Installation Sheet |
00:35 | To practice this tutorial, a learner should have some basic knowledge of Compressible flows andGas Dynamics. |
00:43 | Let us now solve supersonic flow over a wedge using OpenFOAM and see the shock structure formed using paraview. |
00:52 | The problem consists of a wedge with a semi-angle of 15 degrees kept in a uniform supersonic flow. |
01:00 | The Inlet velocity is 5 meters per second. |
01:05 | The boundary conditions are set as shown in the figure. |
01:10 | The type of solver I am using here is rhoCentralFoam. |
01:15 | It is a Density-based compressible flow solver. It is based on central- upwind schemes of Kurganov and Tadmor. |
01:26 | Open a command terminal . To do this, press ctrl +alt+ t keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
01:33 | In the command terminal, type the path for supersonic flow over a wedge. |
01:40 | In the terminal, type "run" and press Enter. |
01:45 | cd space tutorials and press Enter.cd space compressible and press Enter.cd space rhoCentralFoam and press Enter. |
02:07 | cd space wedge15Ma5 |
02:18 | This is the name of the folder of supersonic flow over the wedge in rhoCentralFoam and press Enter. |
02:26 | Now, type "ls" and press Enter. |
02:29 | You will see three folders: 0, constant and system. |
02:34 | Now, open the blockMeshDict file. To do this, |
02:39 | type cd space constant and press Enter. |
02:46 | cd space polyMesh note that 'M' here is capital and press Enter. |
02:54 | Now type "ls" and press Enter. You can see the blockMeshDict file. |
02:59 | To view the blockMeshDict file, type gedit space blockMeshDict. Note that 'M' and 'D' here are capital, press Enter. |
03:13 | Let me drag this to the capture area, scroll down. |
03:19 | In this, you need to calculate the co-ordinates for the wedge. |
03:25 | This has been already calculated and set up in the problem. |
03:28 | The rest of the data remains the same. |
03:34 | In boundary patches, boundaries are set as shown in the figure. |
03:38 | Close blockMeshDict file. |
03:41 | In the command terminal, type cd space ..(dot dot) twice to return back to wedge folder. |
03:50 | Now open the 0 (zero) folder. |
03:56 | To do this, type cd space 0 and press Enter. |
04:03 | Type "ls" and press Enter. |
04:07 | This contains the initial boundary condition for pressure, velocity and Temperature. |
04:15 | Type cd space .. (dot dot) and press Enter. Now we need to mesh the geometry. |
04:24 | To do this, in the command terminal, type "blockMesh" and press Enter. Meshing has been done. |
04:37 | Now, to view the geometry- in the command terminal, type "paraFoam" and press Enter. This will open the paraview window. |
04:50 | On the left hand side of object inspector menu, click APPLY. |
04:58 | In this, you can see the geometry in which the rectangular section upstream changes to a wedge downstream. Close the paraview window. |
05:10 | Now, run the solver rhoCentralFoam. |
05:16 | To do this, in the command terminal, type "rhoCentralFoam" and press Enter. |
05:25 | The iterations running can be seen in the terminal window. |
05:29 | Iterations running will stop after it converges or at the end of the time steps. Now, the solving has been done. |
05:39 | To visualize these results, let us open the paraview window once again. |
05:45 | In the command terminal, type “paraFoam” and press Enter. |
05:54 | Again on the left hand side of object inspector menu, click APPLY. |
06:01 | 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'. |
06:19 | 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. |
06:33 | On top of the Paraview window, you can see the VCR control. Click on PLAY. |
06:42 | You can see the final results of U velocity. |
06:47 | Now, scroll down the properties in object inspector menu on the left hand side. Now click on Display besides Properties. |
07:01 | Scroll down and click on Rescale to Size. You can see the final value of Velocity, magnitude. |
07:10 | Similarly, you can select pressure. You can see the final result of pressure. Now, close the paraView window. |
07:21 | 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. |
07:31 | Type Mach. |
07:34 | Note that 'M' here is capital and press Enter. You can see that Mach number is calculated for each time step. |
07:41 | Now, again open the paraview window by typing in the command terminal "paraFoam" and press Enter. |
07:53 | Click APPLY, scroll down. In volume fields, check the 'Ma' box and again click APPLY. |
08:09 | On top of the active variable control menu, click on Solid Color and change it to 'Ma'. |
08:16 | In the VCR control menu, again click on PLAY and make the color legend 'ON'. |
08:26 | You can see the Mach number in the color legend and the corresponding colours. |
08:34 | We notice here that when the wedge is kept in supersonic flow, it produces a shock across which the flow properties like temprature, pressure
and density drastically change. |
08:48 | 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. |
09:00 | In this tutorial, we learnt: * Solving a compressible flow problem
Velocity and pressure contour for the wedge and OpenFOAM utility for calculating the Mach number. |
09:11 | As an Assignment, vary the wedge angle between 10 ° to 15 ° to view the shock characteristic for the flow. |
09:19 | This brings us to the end of the tutorial. Watch the video available at this URL: http://spoken-tutorial.org/What_is_a_Spoken_Tutorial |
