A Vortex Particle Method for Compressible Flows

Abstract

A vortex particle method for the simulation of two-dimensional compressible flows is developed. The computational elements are Lagrangian particles that carry vorticity,dilatation,enthalpy,entropy and density. The velocity field is decomposed into irrotational and solenoidal parts,which allows its calculation in terms of the particles' vorticity and dilatation. The particle coverage is truncated and incident acoustic waves are absorbed using a suitable boundary treatment. A Kirchhoff surface formulation is developed for computing the far-field sound. The method is applied to a co-rotating vortex pair and the results are discussed.
