简介:470级帆船是奥运会比赛项目,其船体水动力性能对运动员成绩具有重要影响,为了得到适合470级帆船船体水动力数值计算的湍流模型,利用计算流体动力学(computationalfluiddynamics,CFD)方法,通过求解雷诺平均纳维尔-斯托克斯方程(Reynolds—averagedNavier—StokesEquations,RANSE)对470级帆船船体在不同湍流模型下的周围黏性绕流场进行了数值模拟研究。计算网格采用结构化网格,自由液面采用VOF(volumeoffluid,VOF)的方法进行处理。讨论SSTk-ω模型、Standardk-ω模型、Standardk-ω模型、Realizablek-ω模型、RNGk-09模型5种湍流模型对帆船水动力性能数值模拟计算结果的影响与原因,根据计算结果与经验公式估算结果比较分析,确定了470级帆船船体数值模拟采用RNGk-ω模型与经验公式更为接近。研究结果为下一步数值模拟帆船船体水动力性能打下了基础。
