Title: U-ZEN: A Computational Tool Solving U-Rans Equations for Industrial Unsteady Applications
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to assess the capabilities of the newly developed tool U-ZEN, a code solving the Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The activity is being performed within a CIRA project focusing on Flow Control; the specific goal for the CFD task is to simulate the unsteady flow phenomena due to particular fluid dynamic conditions (Mach, Reynolds, !) or to time dependent boundary conditions (e.g. flow control devices) around complex 3D configurations. The CIRA steady state flow solver ZEN (Zonal Euler Navier-Stokes) has been extended to treat unsteady problems by introducing a time discretization scheme, namely the Dual Time Stepping (DTS) technique. The validation is performed simulating unsteady flows around bluff obstacles or airfoils/wings at high angles of attack which are available experimental test cases.
