• Simulation of an Oscillating Hydrofoil near Boundaries

  

  67th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics Volume 59, Number 20, San Francisco, CA Abstract: D24.00001: Simulation of an Oscillating Hydrofoil near Boundaries An oscillating hydrofoil in freestream flow is computationally investigated for the application of a novel hydrokinetic energy device. The hydrofoil is prescribed a rigid body sinusoidal motion in pitch…

• A Moving Mesh Approach for Flow Simulations of an Oscillating Hydrofoil

  

  • Investigated the feasibility of using dynamic mesh approach to simulate oscillating hydrofoil motion in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model • Implemented direct numerical simulation, used PISO algorithm and PimpleDyMFoam solver to conduct the CFD simulation in OpenFOAM • Post-processed the CFD simulation results using Tecplot and ParaFoam • Validated the results (i.e. flow fields,…
