Abstract:

Accurate prediction of aerothermal heating load over hypersonic blunt bodies is of great significance to the design of hypersonic vehicle thermal protection, while grid metric affects the prediction accuracy of aircraft surface heating load. By theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, a grid generation method is proposed according to the cell Reynolds number and freestream Reynolds number, respectively, based on the wall parameters and characteristic length of blunt bodies, and the reference value range of the cell Reynolds number based on wall parameters is also provided. The proposed grid generation method is then applied to the simulation of hypersonic aeroheating computations over semi-cylinders and semi-spheres under different incoming flow conditions. The results show that the proposed grid generation method and the suggested range of the cell Reynolds number based on wall parameters can satisfy the precision requirement of thermal environment simulation over hypersonic blunt bodies, facilitate the rational distribution of grids, and simultaneously improve the efficiency of numerical calculations.
