“…The morfing method [33] is used to change the object's surface shape depending on the amount of ice on the surface. The LOGOS software package version number 5.3.21 was comprehensively verified and validated on well-known international tests [1,[34][35][36][37][38] and demonstrated good results. All the results given below were obtained using the LOGOS software package.…”

The paper presents the results of studying the effects of droplet diameters on the NACA0012 airfoil ice accretion, which have been obtained in the 3D numerical simulation of icing. To simulate the motion of water droplets as a multiphase medium, the Eulerian approach is used, which assumes that water droplets have spherical shapes, do not undergo deformation and breakup, do not interact with each other, and that coalescence/fragmentation of droplets does not take place. Both monodisperse (of the same size) and polydisperse (of various sizes) droplets are considered; they are represented by the spectral Langmuir distributions. These spectral distributions take into account the polydisperse nature of droplets and provide a higher efficiency in predicting ice shapes. The obtained ice shapes on an airfoil are compared with the available experimental and calculated data. It should be noted according to the simulation results that the use of the standard size of droplet diameter equal to 20 μm does not allow for obtaining correct shapes of ice on the leading edge of the wing profile not at all temperature regimes. For temperatures from −20 °C to −10 °C, there is a noticeable difference compared to the experimental data. At the same time, for this temperature range, the use of the Langmuir spectral distribution of droplet diameters relative to 15 μm provides a better agreement of the formed ice forms with the experiment.

“…The described method was realized on the basis of the national software suite LOGOS, aimed at modeling 3D problems of computational hydrodynamics, aerodynamics and heat transfer [30][31][32]. The method efficiency is shown by examples of the numerical simulation of conjugate heat transfer problems [33,34], their grid models built of unstructured, unmatched segments.…”

Recently, when modeling transient problems of conjugate heat transfer, the independent construction of grid models for fluid and solid subdomains is increasingly being used. Such grid models, as a rule, are unmatched and require the development of special grid interfaces that match the heat fluxes at the interface. Currently, the most common sequential approach to modeling problems of conjugate heat transfer requires the iterative matching of boundary conditions, which can significantly slow down the process of the convergence of the solution in the case of modeling transient problems with fast processes. The present study is devoted to the development of a direct method for solving conjugate heat transfer problems on grid models consisting of inconsistent grid fragments on adjacent boundaries in which, in the general case, the number and location of nodes do not coincide. A conservative method for the discretization of the heat transfer equation by the direct method in the region of inconsistent interface boundaries between liquid and solid bodies is proposed. The proposed method for matching heat fluxes at mismatched boundaries is based on the principle of forming matched virtual boundaries, proposed in the GGI (General Grid Interface) method. A description of a numerical scheme is presented, which takes into account the different scales of cells and the sharply different thermophysical properties at the interface between liquid and solid media. An algorithm for constructing a conjugate matrix, the form of matrix coefficients responsible for conjugate heat transfer, and methods for calculating them are described. The operability of the presented method is demonstrated by the example of calculating conjugate heat transfer problems, the grid models of which consist of inconsistent grid fragments. The use of the direct conjugation method makes it possible to effectively solve both stationary and non-stationary problems using inconsistent meshes, without the need to modify them in the conjugation region within a single CFD solver.

“…The most popular way of taking into account cavitating flows is to use the VOF (Volume of Fluid) method [19,20] to describe the dynamics of phases and models of cavitation [21][22][23][24], which are the relation between the mass transfer velocity of the liquid and vapor phases and the flow parameters. Such an approach is used in [25][26][27][28][29][30] and provides a sufficiently accurate description of the shape of cavities and their dynamics.…”

“…A rotating propeller is simulated by moving nodes of the computational mesh with the interpolation of fluxes across a non-conformal mesh interface. The method is implemented in the LOGOS CAE system [27,34] for the simulation of coupled 3D problems of heat and mass transport with convection, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and strength analysis on computers with massive parallelism. Verification results are given for the problems of finding the performance curves of model-scale propellers operating in open water, with the cavitation process being taken or not taken into account.…”

The report presents the approach implemented in the Russian LOGOS software package for the numerical simulation of the marine propeller flow problems using unstructured computational meshes automatically generated by the mesh generator. This approach includes a computational model based on the Navier–Stokes equation system and written with respect to the physical process: the turbulent nature of flow with transient points is accounted using the Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes method and the k–ω SST model of turbulence by Menter along with the γ–Reθ (Gamma Re Theta) laminar-turbulent transition model; the Volume of Fluid method supplemented with the Schnerr–Sauer cavitation model is used to simulate the cavitation processes; a rotating propeller is simulated by a moving computational mesh and the GGI method to provide conformity of the solutions on adjacent boundaries of arbitrarily-shaped unstructured meshes of the two domains. The specific features of the numerical algorithms in use are described. The method validation results are given; they were obtained because of the problems of finding the performance curves of model-scale propellers in open water, namely the problems of finding the performance of propellers KP505 and IB without consideration of cavitation and the performance of propellers VP1304 and C5 under cavitation conditions. The paper demonstrates that the numerical simulation method presented allows for obtaining sufficiently accurate results to predict the main hydrodynamic characteristics for most modes of operation of the propellers.
