Numerical simulation of compressible gas flow in flat channels in the narrow channel approximation

Abstract

In this paper, numerical simulation of a compressible gas in plane channels of constant and variable cross-section is performed within the framework of two-dimensional parabolized Navier-Stokes equations. The "narrow channel approximation" model is used for the numerical solution of the uranation system.A number of transformations are described in detail, such as de-dimensioning the equation system, reducing the considered area to a square, as well as thickening the calculated points in large gradients of gas dynamic parameters. Flow conservation conditions are used to determine the pressure gradient.An effective method is given for simultaneously determining the pressure gradient and the longitudinal velocity, then other gas dynamic parameters stable for subsonic and supersonic flows, as well as a method for determining the critical flow rate for solving Laval nozzle problems.The results of methodical calculations are presented, with the aim of verifying the effectiveness of the developed calculation methodology, as well as confirming the reliability of the results obtained by comparing them with data from other authors
