1 ANSYS FLUENT Airfoil Analysis and Tutorial ENGR083: Fluid Mechanics II Terry Yu 5/11/2017
2 Abstract The NACA 0012 airfoil was one of the earliest airfoils created. Its mathematically simple shape and age have meant that it is one of the first choices for validating CFD programs, as there is a wealth of data on this particular airfoil. Though the NACA 0012 airfoil is not in general use currently due to its relatively poor lift to drag ratio, it remains a useful research tool. It still sees some use, however, in control surfaces and helicopter blades, as it is symmetric and thus has a simple correlation between angle of attack and lift. This project validated methods for using ANSYS Fluent and created a tutorial for future E83 students to also analyze this airfoil. The resulting coefficient of lift plot is remarkably similar to one produced by NASA s Langley Center, while the coefficient of drag plot seems to be in error. This is likely due to our simple viscosity model. Introduction ANSYS Fluent is part of the ANSYS suite of engineering analysis software, which includes Mechanical APDL, BladeGen, and many other software packages capable of thermal analysis, electromagnetic analysis, and more. Fluent is also widely recognized as one of the industry standard CFD software packages. Although Solidworks is capable of performing rudimentary CFD analysis, it is only a rudimentary approach as Solidworks is fundamentally CAD software and is not built with simulation in mind, as ANSYS is. The versatility and capability of ANSYS Fluent makes it an easy first choice for fluid dynamics analysis. This project seeks to find a basic understanding of ANSYS Fluent and develop a tutorial for future students to also learn from this software. In a previous project, I analyzed the NACA 0012 airfoil structurally to understand its deflection due to aerodynamic forces in a helicopter. Thus, I had the model readily available. However, the model was in 3D form, and I had to analyze only a cross section of the airfoil. Unfortunately, Fluent s academic license does not allow for enough meshes to cover the entire 3D airfoil. This was fortuitous, though, as we were able to corroborate our results with a NASA Langley Center study on the characteristics of the airfoil. After completing our analysis, we created a tutorial to introduce new E83 students to Fluent. This tutorial will walk the user through importing the airfoil model and setting up the boundary conditions for meshing and solving the fluids problem. Due to time, we were unable to implement a tutorial for modeling or for more simple shapes in Fluent, which may have been more helpful to novice students.
3 Problem The fundamental problem we are attempting to solve is the modeling of a 2D airfoil cross section. Given the below figure, how can we determine the lift and drag acting on the airfoil? The picture above shows a box with an airfoil cutout. In order to analyze an airfoil, my implementation does not implement a wind tunnel and an object suspended in it, although that is a valid approach. Instead, this procedure cuts out an airfoil shape from a bounding box, and meshes the box. The entire box is then divided into finite elements, and the fluid dynamics equations are solved. By examining the fluid properties near the airfoil cutout, the lift and drag can be determined. We have wind tunnel tests and other software validations from the Langley center, so we are able to compare our lift and drag results to validated results, and see if there were any mistakes in our protocol or software implementation. For our airfoil, we are working in the turbulent regime, with Re = 6million. Our speed is M=0.15, which converts to about 51 m/s. This region is essentially incompressible, but the NASA website cautions against running incompressible flow, as the results may differ. From determined lift and drag forces, we can calculate the lift and drag coefficients. These are plotted against the angle of attack, and compared to available data. A close match confirms that our implementation and procedure are correct.
4 Theory First, we must determine the regime that our analysis is in. Our reference data is for Re = 6 million, which is far into the turbulent region. Re = ρvl μ where ρ=density, v=velocity, μ=dynamic viscosity, and L is the characteristic length, which for our airfoil is the chord. With known viscosity, density, and speed, we can calculate the length. The values we used were: ρ = kg m 3 v = 51 m s μ = x 10 5 kg m s L = m To determine the coefficients of drag and lift, we use the following equations from the NASA website 1. where L and D are the lift and drag, ρ ref is the free stream density, U ref is the free stream velocity, and A is the reference area (in 2-D it is reference length, or area per unit span). It should be noted that these differ from the equations derived in class. Our solver has the energy equation enabled, which enables compressible flow. To model compressible flow, we use the ideal gas law to determine the density at any given point. 1
5 Fluent models turbulence with the Reynolds average Navier-Stokes Equations (RANS). This is one of the most common approaches to computing flows. Other methods exist to model flow, such as Detached Eddy Simulation or Large Eddy simulation. However, while more accurate, RANS is far less computationally intensive and yields close enough results for the scales that we are working at. Below is the full Reynolds averaged momentum equation. At each iteration, this equation is solved for all the mesh quadrilaterals. The Reynolds stress tensor describes unknowns introduced by modeling and must be related to average flow quantities. To calculate the Reynolds stress tensor, we must use eddy viscosity models. The Boussinesq hypothesis states that Reynold stresses can be modeled with an eddy viscosity μ T. This is reasonable for simple turbulent shear flows such as boundary layers, round jets, mixing layers, channel flows, but for complex flows we need to fully solve the Reynolds Stress tensor, which is computationally intense. The eddy viscosity μ T above must be resolved to complete the RANS equations. Below are our choices of models. There are many methods of calculating eddy viscosity, and we have chosen the Spalart-Allmaras equation for its simplicity. RANS based models Eddy viscosity models
6 Spalart-Allmaras is the computationally simplest model. It is economical for large meshes, but performs poorly for 3D flows, free shear flows, and flows with strong separation. It is suitable for mildly complex (quasi-2d) external/internal flows and boundary layer flows under pressure gradient (e.g. airfoils, wings, airplane fuselages, missiles, ship hulls), which is perfect for our simulations. The other equations are more suitable to complex flows, such as turbomachinery, flows with high separation, flows with high strain rates, or flows with high swirl rates. The Spalart-Allmaras equations are adequate for our purposes, but any more complex analysis than simple shapes in a uniform flow. The Spalart-Allmaras equations can be characterized as where eddy viscosity is obtained from By solving this equation, Fluent can solve for the eddy viscosity. With the eddy viscosity, the Reynolds stress tensor is known, and once the stress tensor is known, the entire Reynolds- Averaged Navier Stokes equations can be solved.
7 Results At the proscribed Re = 6 million, we obtained the following graph for the lift coefficient: This was overlaid with the NASA coefficient of lift chart. Our values are in orange. This shows very good agreement, with only some discontinuities in the stall region.
8 The coefficient of drag vs coefficient of lift graph was also plotted:
9 This was also overlaid with the NASA coefficient of lift chart. Our values are in green. This shows fairly poor agreement with the NASA values. Although we managed the same general shape, we are off by a fair amount.
10 Following are sample contours and streamlines from a 10 degree angle case.
11
12 Below are some sample streamlines and contours from the 25 degree case, where the airfoil is stalled.

14 Discussion and Future Work Our model was validated for lift. It shows very close agreement to the NASA Langley Center s data, which includes wind tunnel and software testing. We have successfully modeled an airfoil s lift in ANSYS Fluent to a very high degree of accuracy. However, our drag results had some disagreements with the NASA results. Although we maintained the same overall shape, we started producing an enormous amount of drag at higher angles of attacks. A possible cause of this is the farfield boundary effect, which can have effects on lift and drag at high lift conditions. This effect is unique to compressible flows and is a quirk of numerical analysis, where boundary conditions are incorrectly set for compressible flows and the solver is not aware of the farfield equilibrium conditions for the boundaries, and leads to waves developing in the mesh. Further investigation is required into the settings necessary to correct for this in ANSYS Fluent. We have successfully developed a tutorial to complete the lift and drag analysis on an airfoil in Fluent. This tutorial starts the user at a model and walks them through configuring the fluid dynamics solver. Future work includes implementing simpler problems into the Fluent tutorial, such as flow over a flat plate or flow over a cylinder. These simulations are relatively short, so a more complex modeling scheme such as full Reynolds Stress tensor solving could be used. The bounding box could be even further extended, and farfield boundary conditions could be investigated to ensure they are not causing the drag to be erroneous.

16 Appendix: Fluent Tutorial This is a short tutorial in running the airfoil analysis with ANSYS Workbench with the NACA 0012 airfoil. There are four provided files, blade_only.agdb, blade_2.iges, airfoil_single_example.wbpj, and wing_analysis_aggregate.wbpj, The blade_2.iges file contains the base 3D geometry for the blade. The wing_analysis_aggregate.wbpj is simply a bunch of models with connected to a parameter set which allows for running all the angles of attacks at once. This is useful when one needs to run the entire model, but for the purposes of this tutorial we will only run one system at a time. This tutorial will focus on constructing a model from the blade_only.agdb file. Double click this file to open it. Once opened, ANSYS will likely throw an error saying that the blade_2.iges file is missing. This can be ignored for now; we will locate it later. The following screen should appear:
17 This is the home screen for ANSYS Workbench, which incorporates all the ANSYS products. From the left, double click on Fluid Flow (Fluent). A new system will appear. Drag the box labeled Geometry in the A system to the box labeled Geometry in the B system, which has the question mark. They have now been linked. The screen should now look like: The large blocks are known as systems, and incorporate all the steps necessary to simulate the model. The relevant system is labeled Fluid Flow-Fluent, as we will be working with Fluent today. 1. Geometry: This is the configuration of all the geometries necessary to define the model. 2. Mesh: This creates the mesh on which Fluent s finite volume method acts. 3. Setup: This defines the physical constants, boundary conditions, and solver method. 4. Solution: This is where the solver is initiated. 5. Results: The results of the simulation can be viewed here. 6. Parameters: Fluent will output the lift and drag values here. To start, save this project. Remember to save often! First, we will inspect the geometry and adjust the angle as needed. Double click the Geometry box in A (the master geometry) to launch the DesignModeler.
18 First, we will import the blade_2.iges file. First click on Import as highlighted, and then click on the source. Some ellipsis will appear. Locate the blade_2.iges file and click it to import. The modeling has been done already. To move around in the window, use the middle mouse button to rotate and CTRL+middle mouse to translate. The axes on the bottom right will reset the view when clicked. Next on the left, click on Rotate. (The subscripts are purely for naming incrementing.) In the details section, the angle of the blade can be adjusted. When at a satisfactory angle, click GENERATE to save the changes and create the final model. For this example, we will use -10 degrees. Note that negative angle here corresponds to positive lift.
19 Now, return to the ANSYS Workbench screen. If properly executed, there will be green check marks next to the Geometry label. We will now launch the Mesh by double clicking it. On the left, right click on Mesh, which should have a yellow thunderbolt as the mesh hasn t been generated yet. Go to Insert>Refinement. The yellow Geometry on the bottom right will turn yellow, which is a prompt to select a geometry. Select the geometry, which will turn green. Click on Refinement, and at the details pane in the bottom right set the refinement to 2. We next need to create the named selections so the solver has boundary conditions. Switch to edge selection at the top. Right click the left edge (the inlet) and select Create Named Selection at the bottom. Call this Inlet. Repeat this for the right edge (Outlet), the upper and bottom edges (Wall-use CTRL-click to select multiple edges before right clicking), and the cutout of the airfoil (Airfoil-again, select both top and bottom edge).
20 Click GENERATE after this is done. The mesh will now generate. To see the mesh, press Mesh on the left pane. The meshing window can be closed. Return to the ANSYS workbench screen. It is recommended that you save at this point. Right click on the Mesh box and click Update. The Mesh box should have a green checkmark. Next click Setup. This will launch Fluent.
21 On the left, under Models, turn Energy on, and set Viscous to Spalart-Allmaras. Under Materials>Fluids>Air, set the density to Ideal Gas Law. This enables compressibility. Under Boundary Conditions>Inlet, set to Velocity-Inlet. For this example use 51 m/s. Ensure Outlet is set to Pressure-Outlet. Next, we will set our output parameters. Under Parameters and Customization> Parameters> Output Parameters, click Create>Lift. Click Airfoil for wall zone on the right. Then, select Save Output Parameter, and create a new parameter called Lift. Click OK, and OK again. For drag, under Parameters and Customization> Parameters> Output Parameters, click Create>Drag. Click Airfoil for wall zone on the right. Then, select Save Output Parameter, and create a new parameter called Drag. For the parameters, the force vectors should be correct, but you can reference the Design Modeler to be sure. At this step, we can start preparing the solver. Open the Solution Tab. Under Solution Methods, set the scheme to Coupled. Under Run Calculation, set the Number to Iterations to 200, adjusting if necessary. To run the method, you can double click on Run Calculation, or go to the Workbench and right click>update on Results, which will run everything up to and including Results.
22 From Results, the contours and streamlines can be inspected. Click on Parameter Set to view the lift and drag. To make the process easier, one can define the angle of attack as a parameter. This precludes going into the modeler and changing it every time. Simply check the box next to the angle box. Then, the angle can be changed from the parameter set. The density of air used by the ideal gas model is kg m3, the chord length is m, and the perimeter of the airfoil shape is 3.665m. The airfoil_single_example.wbpj contains a project that should be the end result of these instructions.
