Abstract
The present contribution focuses on the high-fidelity scale-resolving simulation of an isolated engine nacelle subjected to strong crosswind. The work, carried out with the DLR TAU code, shows shortcomings of a steady RANS approach in predicting total pressure losses for the transonic partially-separated intake flow and proves the higher accuracy of advanced hybrid RANS/LES methods. In particular, an IDDES approach is combined with a hybrid numerical scheme that assures low-dissipation and low-dispersion errors in the focus area and numerical stability in the surrounding regions (hybrid LD2 scheme). The results are validated by means of theoretical turbulence spectra and experimental integral data.
