摘要

The shear-stress transport (SST) turbulence model is incorporated into Navier-Stokes equations to simulate a turbomachinery flowfield. A staggered finite volume method is used to make the mean flow equations and turbulence model equations strongly coupled and enhance the stability of the numerical computation. The implicit treatment of the source terms is applied to the SST model. A steady state solution is obtained using five-stage Runge-Kutta time-stepping scheme with local time stepping and residual smoothing to accelerate convergence. The wall distance d, a key parameter in the SST model, is solved by a partial differential equation. The validations of the code are conducted on rotor 37, wp 11 at design and off-design conditions by comparison with measurements and the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) turbulence model. The flow within the tip is calculated with a multi-block grid.
