Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This is an entirely computational project. It concerns the incorporation of a newly formulated local grid refinement technique in a body-fitted prediction code. The resulting code will generally be applicable to engineering fluid flow processes both with and without combustion and is expected to constitute a milestone in the development of CFD techniques. However, it will be particularly aimed at industry combustors which are frequently characterised by complicated geometries and large variations in physical scales of their components. It is rather remarkable that, notwithstanding diverse developments which have appeared in the literature, no generally applicable code appears to exist able to accommodate in a straightforward manner both of these features. Recent work in this group has demonstrated that the provision of such methodology is an achievable goal. The new code will be validated against experimental data and the predictions of established codes for the simple geometries to which they are applicable and it will also be demonstrated through an application to the real combustor. It is important to state that although in-house parent codes will, for convenience be used in these exercises the novel numerical techniques which are the subject of this application are generic and capable of incorporation in the parent codes of other organisations.
