A Navier-Stokes Solution of HuN-Ring Wi~hn~ster Interaction C.-I. Yang (David Taylor Research Center, USA) P. Hartwich, P. Sundaram, (NASA Langley Research Center, USA) ABSTRACT Navier-Stokes simulations of high Reynolds num- ber flow around an axisymmetric body supported in a water tunnel were made. The numerical method is based on a finite-diRerencing high resolution second- order accurate implicit upwind scheme. Four different configurations were investigated, these are, 1. bare- body, 2. body with an operating propeller, 3. body with a ring wing and 4. body with a ring wing and an operating propeller. Pressure and velocity compo- nents near the stern region were obtained computa- tionally and are shown to compare favorably with the experimental data. The method correctly predicts the existence and extent of stern flow separation for the barebody and the absence of flow separation for the three other configurations with ring wing and/or pro- peller. I. INTRODUCTION It has been known in marine propulsion technol- ogy that certain advantages can be achieved by prop- erly integrating a ring wing arid the propeller. With a ring wing that accelerates the flow the efficiency of the propeller remains more or less at a constant level over a wider range of advance ratios. With a ring wing that decelerates the flow, the inception of cav- itation on the propeller can be delayed. In order to take advantage of the ring wing to obtain the desir- able benefit, a clear understanding of the role it plays is important. Thorough water tunnel experiments and reliable numerical simulations serve as complementary approaches to gain understanding. By combining the body, ring wing and propeller, appropriate configurations can be generated for water tunnel experiments, and the influence of each individ- ual component can be isolated. The configurations studied here are 1. barebody, 2. body with an oper- ating propeller, 3. body with a ring wing and 4. body with a ring wing and an operating propeller. Data collected from the water tunnel tests included the ve- locity components around the aft erbody and the pres- sure on the stern. The data show the degree of inter 687 action at the given operating conditions and serve as benchmarks for evaluating the present numerical sim- ulations. One important parameter in hull-propulsor inter- action is the thrust deduction coefficient t, which signi- fies the drag augmentation due to the interaction. In the past, inviscid methods {1,2] have been successful in computing the coefficient t. The methods become somewhat inadequate in a situation where the propul- sor unit is imbedded in the stern boundary layer where the viscous eRect plays a dominating role. Efforts have been made to address the problem; in particular, Falcao de Campos t3] presented an inviscid approach to calculate the flow on the stern with and without propulsor based on the Euler equation of motion and Huang et al t4] developed a numerical technique to study the interaction between a propeller and unsep- arated viscous stern boundary layer. To further en- hance the ability to predict the effect of hull-propulsor interaction, a Navier-Stokes type viscous analysis is needed. This is particular true when barebody flow separation may occur. Previously, Haussling et al t5] performed extensive numerical simulations of viscous flow about bodies with appendages using a Navier- Stokes solver. Here a three-dimensional incompress- ible Navier-Stokes solver is used to simulate the flow around a compound propulsor unit on an axisymmet- ric body supported in a water tunnel with a square cross-section. The solver is based on a high resolution second-order accurate implicit upwind scheme 6,7. The propeller eKect is simulated by imbedding body forces in a disk located at the propeller plane t8,94. The experimental data were used to validate the Navier- Stokes solver. II. DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIMENTS The test body is axisymmetric with a length of 139.12 cm and a maximum diameter of 24 cm. Its radius offsets, y, as a function of axial length, x, are given in con units by:

0.00 _ x < 24.00 y = [12.02 - (12.0-x/2)2]1/2 24.00 < x < 97.81 y = 12 97.81 ~ x ~ 115.84 y = [42.672 _ (x - 97.81)2]1/2 - 30.67 for 115.84 ~ x ~ 129.17 y = (133.0-x) tan25° for 129.17 ~ x ~ 131.93 y = -0.0214x + 4.554 for 131.93 ~ x ~ 139.12 y = -0.0310x2 + 8.162x - 535.51 The ring wing has a NACA 4415 profile section with a 5° angle of attack; its chord length is 5.3 cm. The diameter of ring wing measured at its trailing edge is 16 cm; its trailing edge is located at 129.7 cm from the nose of the body. The propeller has four blades with a diameter of 15.71 cm and was driven from behind with a Z-drive propelling device. The de- vice consists of a tapered forebody, a cylindrical mid- body and an elliptical afterbody. The length of the device is about 85 cm and the diameter of midbody is about 10 cm. The propeller plane is located at 135 cm from the nose. The water tunnel in which the ex- periments were conducted has a square cross-section with round corners and its dimensions are 90 cm x 90 cm. The model/tunnel blockage ratio is about 5.6 per- cent. The body was supported from the ceiling of the water tunnel with two struts located at x = 14.0 cm and x = 64.0 cm from the nose. A schematic sketch is shown in Fig. 1.; the propeller drive is not included. The geometric tolerances are less than 0.5 mm. The reference length is chosen to be 133.0 cm. Experiments were conducted at a Reynolds num- ber of 6 x 106 (based on reference length 133.0 cm). The flow measurements were carried out on lines lying on the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the cen- ter line. The pressures on the body surface were mea- sured by means of transducers and all signals could be reproduced satisfactorily within 1.0 percent. For the flow measurements, the standard deviation of all signals varied between 0.1 and 2.0 percent. III. DESCRIPTION OF NUMERICAL PROCEDURE Using Chorin's artificial compressibility formula- tion, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are written in conservation law form for three-dimensional flow as t10] Q' + (E -Edit + (F*-Fail + (G*-Gv~z = 0 (1) where the dependent variable vector Q = (p,u,v,w)T represents the pressure and velocity components in a Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z). The inviscid flux vectorsE*,F*,G* and the viscous shear flux vectors Ev, Fv, Gv are given by E* = (be, us + p, up, uw )T F* = (3v, uv, v2 + p, VW)T G = (~0, UW, VW, W + P) Ev = Re I(O,T£~,~r~Y,TXZ)T Fv = Re-1 (O. TYX, TRY, Tyz)T GV = Re (O,TZ~,TZY,TZZ)T (2) The coordinates x, ty, z are scaled with an appropriate characteristic length scale L. The velocity components a, v, w are nondimensionalized with respect to the free stream velocity TOO, while the normalized pressure is defined as p = (P-poO)/pV2 The kinematic vis- cosity v is assumed to be constant, and the Reynolds number is defined as Re = v:. The artificial com- pressibility parameter ~ monitors the error associated with the addition of the unsteady pressure term ~ in the continuity equation which is needed for coupling the mass and momentum equations in order to make the system hyperbolic. Equations (1) can be transferred to a curvilinear, body-fitted coordinates system (¢, ~ and 71 ~ through a coordinate transformation of the form ¢ = ¢(x, y, z), ~ = ((x, y, z) and 71 = 71(X, Y.

The left hand side is the implicit part and the right hand side is the explicit part of the formulation. The explicit part is the spatial derivatives in Eq. 2 evaluated at the known time level n; its value di- minishes as the steady state solution is approached. Hence, it is also called the residual. The L2 norm of the residual is often used as a measure of convergence of a solution. Letting the flux Jacobians A, B arid C be defined as follow A i3E" B OF" C JIG" - Em' - Ad' - 'am' discretize the inviscid and viscous fluxes according to upwind differencing scheme and central differencing scheme respectively in (, ~ and r1 coordinate direc- tion independently and then assemble them together.

At,B~ and Cal are flux matrices split from the flux Jacobians A, B and C according to the signs of their eigenval- ues. The residual RES(Qn) is evaluated with a TVD technique together with Roe's t11] flux-difference split- ting scheme, the discretization is third-order accurate. Conventional second-order central differencing is ap- plied to obtain the viscous flux matrices X, Y and Z. Equation(5) is solved by an implicit hybrid algo- rithm, where a symmetric planar Gauss-Seidel relax ation is used in the streamwise direction ~ in combina- tion with approximate factorization in the remaining two coordinate directions ~ and y. It is used to avoid the i\t3 spatial splitting error incurred in fully three- dimensional approximate factorization methods. This scheme is unconditionally stable for linear systems and offers the advantage of being completely vectorizable like a conventional three-dimensional approximate fac- torization algorithm. As a result, Eq.

For laminar flow computations the coefficient of molecular viscosity ,u = ,`~ is obtained from Suther- land's law. Turbulence is simulated using the Baldwin- Lomax algebraic turbulence modelt12~. For turbulent flow laminar viscosity coefficients are replaced by ~ = p1 + lit The turbulent viscosity coefficient lit iS computed by using the isotropic, two-layer Cebeci type algebraic eddy-viscosity model as reported by Baldwin-Lomax. Modifications proposed by Degani and Schiff t134 and Hartwich and Hull t14] were implemented. IV. DESCRIPTION OF BODY FORCE PROPELLER MODEL The principle of the body force model is to in- troduce the body force terms into the Navier-Stokes equation to include the effects of the propeller. The es- sential parameters that define the propeller effects are the thrust coefficient CT, the torque coefficient CQ' the advance coefficient J and the radial circulation distri- bution G(r). The same parameters were used to define the bud force for the propeller model. The thrust and torque coefficients are defined as follow: T C = Q ~ pV2 Ii D2 ~ Q ~ pV2 It D3 where T and Q are thrust and torque, respectively. D is the diameter of the propeller. The axial and circum- ferential body force per unit volume are obtained from 689

the following equations: f be- CTR2 G(r) fRh ~ ~ CQRpG(r) 2r/\X iR P G(r)rdr where fob and fbe are the body forces per unit volume in the axial and circumferential directions, re- spectively, Rh and Rp are the radii of propeller hub and blade tip, respectively, and /\X is the thickness of tl~e disk. The computed body forces are then incor- porated into the right hand side of Eq. 5 and form a part of the residual. Only a slight modification to the flow solver is needed to accommodate the body force type propeller model and there is no need for special "ridding. fbe = In reality, the blade circulation distribution G(r) depends upon the inflow at the propeller plane which in turn is influenced by the blade circulation. This mu tual dependency implies that the body forces f be and f be which are functions of G(r) should be obtained by an iterative procedure. To complete this procedure, knowledge of propeller-induced axial and tangential velocities, pa and us is needed. A propeller program based on the vortex-lattice lifting-surface method de veloped by Greeley and Kerwin t15] can be used for this purpose. The iterative procedure can be described as follow: 1. Calculate the nominal inflow with the Navier Stokes solver. 2. Obtain the circulation distribution G(r), the induced-velocities Ha and us, the thrust and torque coefficients CT and CQ by using the calculated nominal inflow as input to the propeller program t15~. 3. Compute the body forces fbX and fob by using the calculated circulation distribution G(r), thrust and torque coefficients CT and CQ. 4. Obtain the total velocities at the propeller plane by using the Navier-Stokes solver with the infor mation obtained in step 3. 5. Compute the effective wake by subtracting the propeller-induced velocities obtained in step 2 from the total velocities obtained in step 4. 6. Obtain an updated circulation distribution, propeller-induced velocities, and thrust and torque coefficients by using the newly computed effective wake as input to the propeller program. 7. Repeat the process from step 1 to step 6 until the total velocities, the body forces and the propeller induced velocities are unchanged. It has been shown that this procedure converged after two iterations t84. For the purpose of illustration, the results presented in following are obtained by usingOn the solid boundaries such as surfaces of tunnel measured thrust and torque without any iteration. Inwall, ring wing, body and propeller drive the no-slip spite of its simplicity, it was able to predict the flowcondition is applied, in addition, the normal gradient pattern around the propeller disk and the stern region rather accurately [8,94. V. GRID GENERATION Based on the configuration shown in Fig. 1, which models the experimental setup described in Section II above, a 180° sector of the tunnel needs to be mod- elled in order to resolve the effect on flow due to the supporting struts. This requires a large amount of grid points and extensive computational resources. Af- ter one computation for the barebody configuration, it was found that the struts produced an influence around and directly behind them with no significant eRect on the horizontal plane on which measurements were made. Therefore, the struts were eliminated al- lowing the numerical simulations to be performed ac- curately in a 90° sector of the tunnel. Also included, due to its proximity to the stern, is the propeller drive. To include the ring wing geometry, two block C- O type grids were generated. The grid points were matched at the branch cut that separated the two blocks. Computations were performed on a CRAY- YMP machine which has eight processors. Compu- tational efforts on the two blocks can be performed on two processors simultaneously. For the purpose of synchronization between the processors, it is more ef- ficient if the number of computations is the same for each block. For this reason, each block has the same number of grid points. The grid system was generated by a transfinite interpolation technique. Several grid systems with different number of grid and distributions had been generated and were used for computations on barebody configuration in order to investigate the re- lationship between the convergence and grid density and distribution. The grid systems examined include 1. a two block 25 x 49 x 110 (r,B,x) grids, 2. a two block 25 x 25 x 90 grids and 3. a two block 25 x 13 x 98 grids. Grid points were clustered near the boundaries such as tunnel wall and body and ring wing surfaces where the viscous eject dominates. The minimum spacing normal to the body surface for the three grid systems mentioned above is 5.0 x 10-4 . The differences between the solutions based on the grid sys- tem 1 and 3 are about two percent which is within the reported experimental accuracy. The results presented below are based on a two block 25 x 13 x 98 (r, 8, x) coarse grid system. Convergence is achieved when the L2 normal of all residuals is reduced by three order of magnitude with CFL=10. Computational CPU time is 40 ,usec per node per iteration. For each compu- tation, over 500 iterations were carried out to ensure convergence. VI. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS 690

of the pressure is assumed to be zero. Freestream con- dition is applied as inflow condition. Zero-order ex- trapolation is used to obtain the outflow conditions. During the computation process, the variables on the branch cut that separates the two blocks are not computated. At the end of each iteration, these vari- ables are updated by averaging the values at the adja- cent grid points from each block. The averaging Dro- cess is linear. The updated values are then used as boundary conditions for both blocks for the next iter- ation. VII. RESULTS Ai~D DISCUSSIONS The four configurations that were investigated are 1. flow over the barebody, 2. flow over the body with an operating propeller, 3. flow over the body with a ring wing and 4. flow over the body with a ring wing and an operating propeller. Computational results are presented in the form of velocity profiles and pressure contours in the stern region; they are compared with available experimental data. In addition, to facilitate the flow visualization and discussion, computed par- ticle trace are also included. The length scale was normalized with reference length L = 133cm. Case 1. Flow over the Barebc~dy In this test case, the configuration is simple but the flow is rather interesting. At a Reynolds num- ber of 6.0 x 106, flow separation was observed in the stern region. Figure 2 shows the velocity vectors in the stern region from both computation and experiment. The correlation is good except at the axial location X/L = 0.89 where the experiment shows a some- what fuller profile near the body. Figure 3 shows the particle traces and clearly depicts the separation bub- ble. The predicted separation location is about 1.5 cm (1.13 percent of body length) ahead of where it was observed experimentally. Figure 3 also indicates that the size of the bubble is predicted correctly. Figure 4 shows the predicted and measured pressure distribu- tions on the surface of the stern. The surface pressure begins to recover as the flow passes the shoulder of the afterbody at X/l = 0.78 . The recovery levels off where flow separation takes place. Figure 5 shows the pressure contours in the stern region. Case 2. Flow over the Body with an Operating Propeller In this test case, the propeller was operating at J = 0.47 and V = 4m/~; CT and CQ were measured as 2.052 and 0.247, respectively. To apply the body force propeller model, the circulation G(r) was assumed to be distributed over the disk according to: G(r) = r(1-r j]/2 with r = (Y-Yhub)/(Rp-Chub)- The propeller was located at X/L= 1.015. Figure 6 shows the comparison of predicted and measured velocity vectors in the stern region. The pre- diction confirms that the separation bubble is removed due to the propeller suction. Experimental data in- dicate stronger downward radial velocities at all four stations. In addition, at axial locations X/L = 0.89 and X/L = 0.93 the predicted velocity profiles are less full than those that were measured near the body. It is found from computations that the predictions behind the propeller are sensitive to the circulation distribu- tion over the propeller disk and the axial locations at which the predictions are made. Figure 7 shows the particle traces, indicating that flow contraction takes place immediately in front of and behind the propeller disk. Figure 8 shows the predicted and measured pres- sure distributions on the surface of the stern. The dif- ference between the pressures presented in Fig. 8 and Fig. 4 gives the amount of the pressure drag on the barebody due to propeller action. The added drag con- stitutes the major part of the thrust deduction fraction Ail. The agreement between prediction and measure- ment is very good. This is an indication that thrust deduction (1-t) can be predicted correctly with this numerical method. Figure 9 shows the pressure con- tours in the stern region; the pressure jump across the propeller plane is clear. Case 3. Flow over the Body with a Ring Wing An intended function of the ring wing was to ac- celerate the flow and produce thrust. It was also ex- pected that the flow separation over the stern would be removed once the ring wing was in place. Figure 10 shows the velocity vectors in the stern region from both computation and experiment. In comparison with Fig. 2, it can be seen that the ring wing achieved its func- tion in accelerating the flow and removing the stern separation. The predicted and the measured velocity vectors are in good agreement. Due to lack of details, the experimental data failed to resolve the wake struc- ture behind the ring wing. Figure 11 shows the parti- cle traces and there is no detectable flow separation on the surface of either the body or the ring wing. Figure 12 shows the pressure on the stern surface. Note that the predicted surface pressure immediately upstream of the ring wing's leading edge at X/L = 0.93 is some- what higher than that measured. Figure 13 shows the pressure contours in the stern region. Clearly shown are the locations of the pressure and suction peaks on the ring wing surface. 691

Case 4. Flow over the Body with a Ring Wing and an Operating Propeller In this test case, the propeller was operating at J = 0.47 and V = 4m/~; CT and CQ were measured as 2.081 and 0.250, respectively, and are about 2 per- cent higher than those shown in Case 2. Figure 14 shows the comparison of predicted and measured ve- locity vectors in the stern region. The agreement is quite good. Figure 15 shows the particle traces. It can be seen that flow is accelerated as it passes the ring wing and is contracted as it passes the propeller disk. Figure 16 shows the pressure on the stern sur- face. The discrepancy between the predicted and mea- sured pressure immediately upstream of the ring wing at X/l = 0.93 as discussed in Case 3 is present here also. The difference between the pressures presented in Fig. 16 and Fig. 12 gives the amount of the pres- sure drag on the body due to the propeller action, the agreement between the prediction and measurement is very good, despite the discrepancy mentioned above. Figure 17 shows the pressure contours in the stern re- gion. VIII. COi~CLUSIOt~ A numerical method based on a finite-differencing high resolution second-order accurate implicit upwind scheme was used to discretize the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Simulations of flow over an axisymmetric body with a compound propulsor sup- ported in a square water tunnel were performed. A body force type propeller model was used to simulate the propeller action. Results indicate that this nu- merical method is eFective and accurate. Observed flow phenomena such as separation, acceleration and contraction were realistically predicted. The pressure drags due to propeller action were computed correctly. A ring wing may affect the circulation distribution on the propeller, depending on its proximity to the pro- peller. In order to improve the predictions further, an iterative procedure described in section IV will be explored in a future study.

DISCUSSION Philippe Genoux Bassin d'Essais des Carenes, France It is well known that Navier Stokes solvers may have difficulties at high Reynolds numbers. How does your code behave at full scale Reynolds numbers? AUTHORS' REPLY The differencing scheme presented in this paper is based on hyperbolic formulation, assuming that at high Reynolds numbers the behavior of Navier-Stokes equations becomes hyperbolic-like. At present, the solver has been used to simulate flow at Reynolds number 15 X 106. The agreement between computation and experiment is good. No convergence problem was experienced. DISCUSSION Fred Stern The University of Iowa, USA The results presented display some interesting features for a dueled propulsor; however, it would be of greater interest if the authors would include the propulsor-hull interaction, i.e., male full use of the viscous-flow approach to propulsor-hull interaction and demonstrated in Reference [8]. AUTHORS' REPLY We appreciate Prof. Stern's comments and suggestions. We are using the method described in Reference [8] for our future work. 696
