摘要：Two recent advancements of high-order spectral difference (SD) method for computational fluid dynamics on unstructured meshes will be presented. The first progress is our contribution to a new curved sliding-mesh approach to the SD method for simulating rotary wing aerodynamics. The second elevation of the SD method is our recent successful design of a massively parallel code, namely CHORUS, for predicting thermal convection in the Sun. Recently, we have also built a simulation capability for predicting magneto-hydrodynamics of the Sun.

摘要:I will present a novel high-order sliding and deforming spectral difference (SD^2) method for solving compressible Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured quadrilateral grids. The SD^2 method is an extension of the sliding-mesh spectral difference method (Zhang & Liang, 2015, J. Computational Physics) to coupled rotating and deforming domains. Through a simple sliding-mesh interface, the SD^2 method mitigates large grid distortion which is often resulted from rotating wall boundaries. Meanwhile, the SD^2 algorithm adopts an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian framework that can handle large-amplitude translational motions of grid points on deforming domains. This new SD^2 solver is verified by using several benchmark flow problems able to demonstrate optimal orders of accuracy in space. The SD^2 method is efficient and robust for all our test problems and is expected to be a competitive algorithm for simulating turbulent flows of wind turbines by using exascale computers in the near future.
