Abstract
The reacting flow in a research lean direct injection (LDI) hydrogen combustor and the static stall of NACA0012 airfoil were simulated using both Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) and partially resolved numerical simulation (PRNS) approaches. The concept and the main features of the PRNS approach are briefly described. The PRNS basic equations are grid independent or grid invariant; the subscale models are a dynamic equation system. We consider PRNS as an engineering tool for the very large eddy simulation of complex turbulent flows. Two CFD codes, NCC and Wind-US, with two different subscale models (i.e. two- and one-transport equation models, respectively) are used in the presented PRNS simulations. Based on the comparisons with available experimental data, the numerical results indicate that the PRNS subscale models seem to be able to capture important large scale turbulent structures and to improve the quality of numerical simulations while keeping a relatively low cost comparable to the unsteady RANS simulations.
