Аpplication of scientific visualization tools in the study of supersonic vortex pair

Abstract

Scientific visualization is an important stage of research. It is intended to provide postprocessing analysis tools for presenting the results obtained numerically and/or experimentally. This is especially topical with regard to the increasing volume of processed data associated with the productive capacity growth of computing systems.In this work two scientific visualization methods were applied to recognize flow parameters obtained by numerical simulation of counter-rotating supersonic vortex pair interaction: the λ2-method and maximum vorticity method.The results of their application are compared. The numerical data was obtained by a computational model based on the URANS equations with SA turbulence model. Numerical simulations were performed on the hybrid supercomputing system K-60 at the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics RAS. The main simulation results are presented and analyzed.
