Testing of numerical methods, convective schemes, algorithms for approximation of flows, and grid structures by the example of a supersonic flow in a step-shaped channel with the use of the CFX and fluent packages

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

An unsteady supersonic flow of a nonviscous gas with a Mach number M = 3 in a step-shaped channel has been calculated. The accuracy of the forecasts made has been analyzed on the basis of the Roe dissipation model and the advective upwind splitting method with the use of convective schemes of the second and third orders of accuracy and algorithms for approximation of flows. Triangular and polyhedral grids have been tested. The mechanism of formation of an artificial physical instability on grid structures with a local-gradient adaptation has been considered. It is shown that the existence of a singular point — a right corner — in the computational region causes a large phase change in the evolution of the flow.
