Discontinuous Galerkin Solution of Three-Dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations With S-A Turbulence Model

In this paper Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM) is applied to solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and S-A turbulence model equation in curvilinear coordinate system. Different schemes, including Lax-Friedrichs (LF) flux, Harten, Lax and van Leer (HLL) flux and Roe flux are adopted as numerical flux of inviscid terms at the element interface. The gradients of conservative variables in viscous terms are constructed by mixed formulation, which solves the gradients as auxiliary unknowns to the same order of accuracy as conservative variables. The methodology is validated by simulations of double Mach reflection problem and three-dimensional turbulent flowfield within compressor cascade NACA64. The numerical results agree well with the experimental data.
