Implicit LES of the Transonic Flow Over A High-Pressure Turbine Cascade using DG Subcell Shock Capturing

Summary

Implicit large-eddy simulations of the high-pressure turbine cascade VKI-LS89 under transonic operating conditions using a high-order accurate discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method are presented. The subcell shock capturing method by Hennemann et al. [1] is investigated and compared against simulations with artificial viscosity. Additionally, the effect of laminar and turbulent inflow conditions are validated against numerical and experimental results from literature. This analysis shows that the subcell-shock-capturing method performs well by effectively reducing spurious oscillations across the shock front and acoustic waves while leaving the rest of the solution domain unaffected.
