DPLR隐式算法求解热化学非平衡流动的收敛性能研究

Convergence performance of DPLR implicit algorithm for solving thermochemical nonequilibrium flow

  • 摘要: 收敛慢是热化学非平衡流动数值计算的难点之一。在高速再入条件下,以直径10 mm球头与Apollo返回舱热化学非平衡绕流模拟为例,对DPLR算法的收敛性能进行了深入的比较分析。研究表明,DPLR算法在求解热化学非平衡流动上具有优良的收敛性能,对于跨越4个量级的来流密度,4~10 km/s的来流速度,5、7、11组元,单/双温度热力学平衡/非平衡模型以及常用的热力学特性、输运系数和化学动力学模型的数值计算,都能在数千步内快速收敛。隐式边界条件是DPLR算法求解热化学非平衡流动快速收敛的必要条件。DPLR算法对于简单的前体流动与复杂的后体流动,收敛性能总体上优于LU-SGS方法,在本文计算条件下,收敛时间分别约为LU-SGS的3.4%和8%。研究结果为DPLR算法工程应用提供了参考。

     

    Abstract: Slow convergence is a major challenge in the numerical simulation of thermochemical non-equilibrium flows. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the convergence performance of the data parallel line relaxation (DPLR) implicit algorithm under high-speed reentry conditions by simulating thermochemical nonequilibrium flow over a 10 mm sphere and the Apollo capsule. The results demonstrate that DPLR exhibits excellent convergence characteristics and can reach steady state within a few thousand iterations across a wide range of flow conditions. These conditions encompass freestream densities spanning four orders of magnitude, velocities from 4 to 10 km/s, and chemical models ranging from 5 to 11 species, along with both single- and two- temperature thermodynamic equilibrium and nonequilibrium models, as well as various thermodynamic properties, transport coefficients, and chemical kinetics models. Furthermore, the implementation of implicit boundary conditions is identified as a critical factor for achieving fast convergence of DPLR in thermochemical nonequilibrium simulations. Overall, the convergence performance of the DPLR algorithm is demonstrated to be superior to that of the lower-upper symmetric Gauss-Seidel (LU-SGS) method for both simple forebody and complex afterbody flows. Under the present computational conditions, the convergence times of DPLR are approximately 3.4% and 8% of those of the LU-SGS method, respectively. This research provides valuable references for the engineering applications of the DPLR implicit algorithm.
