Proper orthogonal decomposition analysis of the cavitating flow around a hydrofoil with an insight on the kinetic characteristics
PHYSICS OF FLUIDS(2023)
摘要
In this research, the cavitating flow around a NACA0015 (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) hydrofoil obtained by the large-eddy simulation method is analyzed using the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) theory. Various fundamental mechanisms have been investigated thoroughly, including the reentrant jet behavior, pressure gradient mechanism, vortex dynamics, and dynamic properties of the hydrofoil. The influence of the vortex dynamics, pressure mechanism, and temporal/spatial evolution is revealed. The POD decomposition indicates that the first four dominant POD modes occupy 97.4% of the entire energy. Based on the vortex force field extracted from the first four single POD modes, it is found that the lift-and-drag characteristics in the cavitating flow are determined by the specific spatial distribution of mode vortex structures. In addition, the coupling of velocity pulsations and pressure fluctuations is carried out to obtain the POD modal pressure gradient field, which reveals that the pressure gradient has a close connection with the cavity evolution. Furthermore, the vortex force and pressure gradient are reconstructed using the first four modes, 17 modes, and 160 modes, which indicates that the low-order POD modes without the impact of small-scale structures and noise can clearly capture the fundamental aspects of the flow field.
