Vane-type Rectangular Vortex Generators Modeled by jBAY
Authors: , , , , ,
Abstract: A study of the production of vortices and their effects by vane-type vortex generators (VGs) located on a three-dimensional flat plate with negligible gradient pressure is carried out. The effects of a conventional vortex generator and a sub-boundary layer vortex generator are implemented by using a source term in the corresponding Navier-Stokes equations of momentum and energy according to the so-called jBAY Source Term Model. The influence of the vortex generator onto the computational domain flow is modeled through this source term developed by Bender, Anderson and Yale. The , the implementation of the Source Term Model represents an advantage over a fully Mesh-Resolved Vortex Generator Model for certain applications as a result of a meaningful decrease in the cell number of the computational domain which implies saving computational time and resources.
