Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector

Data assimilation using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulation was performed for an ideally expanded supersonic jet flying at a Mach number of 2.0. The present study aims to efficiently reconstruct all the physical quantities in the aeroacoustic fields that match well with a realistic, experimentally obtained flow field. The two-dimensional, two-component PIV measurement was applied to the jet axis plane, and the time-averaged velocity field was obtained using single-pixel ensemble correlation. Two-dimensional axisymmetric RANS simulation using the Menter shear stress transport (SST) model was also performed, and the parameters of the SST model were optimized via data assimilation using the ensemble Kalman filter. The standard deviation of the observation noise σ, which is a parameter of the ensemble Kalman filter, is estimated by the previously proposed method (Nakamura et al., Low-Grid-Resolution-RANS-Based Data Assimilation of Time-Averaged Separated Flow Obtained by LES. Int. J. Comp. Fluid. Dyn., 2022), and its effectiveness was investigated for the first time. This method effectively estimated the magnitude of σ at each generation without tuning the hyperparameters. The assimilated flow fields exhibited similar flow structures observed in PIV such as the potential core length or shear layer. Therefore, the present framework can be used to estimate time-averaged full flow fields that match well with experimentally observed flow fields, and has the potential to construct a database for the Navier-Stokes-based stability analysis that requires a full flow field.
