Abstract
AbstractIn order to improve the vortex resolution in aerodynamic wakes, a locally normalized vortex feature-based vorticity confinement method is implemented into the multi-block, structured computational fluid dynamics solver (ROSITA). In this method, the second vorticity confinement (VC2) scheme with two well-known vortex feature detection methods (non-dimensional Q criterion, non-dimensional $$\lambda _2$$

criterion) is employed to counterbalance the truncation error introduced by the numerical discretization of the convective term. The flow field of two benchmark three-dimensional steady vortex-dominated cases, the NACA0015 wing and the Caradonna–Tung hovering rotor, is simulated with the implemented method. The improvements in aerodynamics prediction, vorticity preservation, computational stability, and efficiency are demonstrated. From the numerical results, the vortex feature-based confinement models significantly improve the computational stability, the aerodynamic loads prediction and vorticity preservation capability, especially for the $$\lambda _2$$

–based VC2 model. In addition, it allows the use of higher confinement parameters on a coarse grid with a relatively higher computational efficiency to obtain better results than those of a finer grid.
