AN INTEGRATEDC METHOD FOR COMPUTING COMPUTING THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL VISCOUS FLOW FIELD AROUND THE DUCTED PROPULSOR BEHIND AN AXISYMMETRIC BODY

This paper presents an effective method for computing the internal and external viscous flow field around the ducted propulsor behind an axisymmetric they by using a new Navier-Stokes equations solver with primitive variable continuity equation formulation. In the present numerical method, the calculation equation for pressure with well-defined coefficient,which form is similar to the artificial compressibility method, is developed. A semi-staggered grid system is adopted. Not only the advantage of staggered grid system can be retained but the boundary conditions on the inner and outer surface of the duct can be also carried out easily. By using a special grid system and the programming technique for implementing the jump boundary condition on the duct surfaces, the internal and external viscous flow field around the ducted propulsor behind the axisymmetric they may be calculated integrally in an unified numbered grid system. Some configurations are calculated and compared with experimental date and numerical results of other methods. Illustrative calculations are also presented for a stern of axisymmetric body with the backstep fitted a duct to illustrate the capability of the present method. Beside that, the effect of axial distribution of they force is considered and discussed in order to extend the application range of the present method.
