Development and verification of density-based solver using LU-SGS algorithm in OpenFOAM

Sponsored Research (Korea Aerospace Industries)

Research Motivation

OpenFOAM is not able to deal with compressible flow problems because it was especially developed for solving incompressible flow problems.

Key Idea

A development and verification of density-based solver using LU-SGS algorithm is performed as follows.

Results

Several validation cases are solved numerically and compared with the references. The comparison results show that the density-based solver creates reasonable results compared to the commercial software (i.e., FLUENT).
