Abstract

En 中文
Porous medium models have long been prevalent numerical computation tools. Although they exhibit swift computational speed, their accuracy in simulating windscreen perforation structures is challenged. This paper introduces the innovative dot-array porous medium (DAPM) model, which accurately portrays the perforation structure and material characteristics of a windscreen by establishing virtual holes on the porous medium. Not only does it simplify modeling by eliminating complex perforation processes, but it also adeptly simulates the flow behavior of the windscreen. The comprehensive comparison between the DAPM model and the physical mesh model, traditional porous medium model, as well as wind tunnel test results, demonstrates that the DAPM model not only possesses rapid computational speed but also delivers outstanding precision in results. In terms of velocity distribution, vortex distribution, and flow intensity in the flow field, the model indicates a high level of accuracy, clearly exceeding that of the porous medium model. Moreover, the DAPM model showcases high versatility and adjustability in practical applications. By adjusting dimension parameters, it demonstrates the capability to precisely simulate any windscreen with holes arranged in a matrix pattern. This research provides an efficient and reliable tool for the numerical simulation of windscreens, with broad application prospects.
