In the stan- dard turbulent channel flow, the results show that all the wall measurable variables are closely associated with the NWSV. But after applying a stochastic interference, the relation based on τwx breaks down while the correlations based on Pw and τwz are still robust. Hence, two wall flow quantities based on Pw and τwz are proposed to detect the NWSV. As an appli- cation, two new control schemes are developed to suppress the near-wall vortical structures using the actuation of wall blowing/suction and obtain 16 % and 11% drag reduction, respectively.展开更多

The increase in aerodynamic forces is often leading to flow separation and depreciation of the aerodynamic performance of flying objects or propulsion systems. Flow control methods are required to avoid these negative effects. In the recent two decades the flow control by means of air-jet vortex generators has been also intensively investigated. In this method a streamwise vortex is introduced by an oblique jet. The necessity to supply air by a pipe system may be considered a disadvantage. In order to eliminate this feature, it has been proposed to put out a rod instead of a jet. It has been shown that the application of a rod can introduce the same effect as a jet, as long as the streamwise vortex generation is concerned and appropriate dimensions are used. The present paper focuses on the influence of rod vortex generators on a flow pattern downstream. The results presented here concern experimental and numerical investigations and provide guidelines for the design of a new flow control method dedicated mainly to external flows.展开更多

Direct numerical si...In the present paper, physical mechanism responsible for origin of streamwise vortices in mode A appeared in the threedimensional (3-D) wake transition of a square-section cylinder is investigated. Direct numerical simulations at a Reynolds number of 180 firstly show that such streamwise vorticity is not originated from lateral surfaces. Then through the analysis of local flow field in the immediate neighborhood of rear surface, based on the theory of vortex-induced vortex, a new physical mechanism is identified. At first, the vertical vorticity on rear surface is generated by the intrinsic three-dimensional instability with the same instability wavelength of mode A. Then the streamwise vorticity at a specific sign is induced by such vertical vorticity, convected and concentrated in the shear layers. Finally, streamwise vortices are formed and shed with alternatively shedding spanwise vortices in the near wake. Moreover, the effect of induced spanwise vorticity on original two-dimensional (2-D) spanwise vorticity is also presented in detail.展开更多

The results ind...The relationship between wall shear stresses and near-wall streamwise vortices is investigated via a direct numerical simulation(DNS) of turbulent flows over a wavy boundary with traveling-wave motion. The results indicate that the wall shear stresses are still closely related to the near-wall streamwise vortices in the presence of a wave. The wave age and wave phase significantly affect the distribution of a two-point correlation coefficient between the wall shear stresses and streamwise vorticity. For the slow wave case of c/Um = 0.14, the correlation is attenuated above the leeward side while the distribution of correlation function is more elongated and also exhibits a larger vertical extent above the crest. With respect to the fast wave case of c/U_m=1.4, the distribution of the correlation function is recovered in a manner similar to that in the flat-wall case. In this case, the maximum correlation coefficient exhibits only slight differences at different wave phases while the vertical distribution of the correlation function depends on the wave phase.展开更多

The initial perturbations consisted of the two-dimensional fundamental wave and the streamwise-invariant three-dimensional disturbance. A comparison of the formations of the streamwise vortices with different amplitude functions for three-dimensional disturbances was made. In one case the results are similar to that of Rogers and Moser (1992), whereas a different way in which the quadrupole forms and sudden expansion of the rib were observed in another case. The simulation also confirms that stretching by the forming roller rather than Rayleigh centrifugal instability is responsible for the formation of the rib. Finally, numerical flow visualization results were presented. (Edited author abstract) 9 Refs.展开更多

This equation reveals that the total change and local change of the streamwise vorticity are mainly determined by the curvature of streamline, unsteady feature of streamline and magnitude of velocity. This equation enables the study of mesoscale or small-scale systems since the term associated with pressure gradient force in the original vorticity equation is replaced by terms associated with streamlines and wind speed. With this modification the wind field rather than the pressure field is used in the calculation considering that 1) the pressure field is to adapt wind field. 2) Smoother and more consecutive streamline pattern is easier to obtain either by data analysis or by the numerical simulation. From this sense, this present study suggests the application of this equation to studying the evolution of severe storm system as well as other simplified cases.

Different from previous researches which attributed the deviation of velocity from the classical log-law to the wave Reynolds stress, i.e. - ρ uv^- only, this study demonstrates that the momentum flux caused by mean velocities, i.e., u^- and v^-, is also responsible for the velocity deviation, and it is found that the streamwise velocity for a flow in the presence of non-zero wall-normal velocity does not follow the classical log-law, but the modified log-law proposed in this study based on simplified mixing-length theorem. The validity of the modified log-law has been verified by use of available experimental data from published sources for combined wave-current flows, and good agreement between the predicted and observed velocity profiles has been achieved.展开更多

The results show that the wall region with low pressure forms just below the strong NWSV, which is mostly associated with the overhead NWSV. The wall region with high pressure forms downstream of the NWSV, which has a good correspondence with the downwash of the fluids induced by the upstream NWSV. The results provide a significant basis for the detection of NWSV.展开更多

By employing the fin approach in the first law of analysis, models with and without streamwise conduction term in the energy equation were developed for hydrodynamically and thermally fully-developed flow under local thermal non-equilibrium for the solid and fluid phases. These two models were solved to obtain closed form analytical solutions for the fluid and solid temperature distributions and the analysis emphasized details of the variations induced by the streamwise conduction on the fluid temperature distributions. The effects of the Peclet number, aspect ratio, and thermal conductivity ratio on the thermal characteristics of forced convection in microchannel heat sinks were analyzed and discussed. This study reveals the conditions under which the effect of streamwise conduction is significant and should not be neglected in the forced convective heat transfer analysis of microchannel heat sinks.展开更多

The cascade had 8 blades of 400 mm long and 175 mm chord. The blades deflected the flow by 120°. The fences were made out of 0.7 mm thick brass sheet and the heights of the fences were 14 mm, 18 mm respectively. The curvature of the fences was the same as that of the blade camber line. The fences were fixed normal to the end wall and at half pitch away from the blades. The experimental program consists of total pressure, static pressure measurements at the inlet and outlet of the cascade, by using five-hole probe. In addition, static pressure on the blade suction surface and pressure surface was also obtained. Fences are effective in preventing the movement of the pressure side leg of the horseshoe vortex. Consequently the accumulation of low energy fluid on the suction surface is minimised. End wall losses are reduced by the fences due to weakening of the end wall cross flow.展开更多

Methods of this interaction control have been especially investigated in recent decade. This research was mostly concerned with flows without separation. However, in many applications shock waves induce separation often leads to strong unsteady effects. In this context it is proposed to use streamwise vortices for the interaction control. The results of experimental investigations are presented here. The very promising results were obtained, meaning that the incipient separation was postponed and the separation size was reduced for the higher Mach numbers. The decrease of the RMS of average shock wave oscillation was also achieved.展开更多

The authors propose to introduce streamwise vortices into the control of internal flows. A simple configuration of vortices was investigated in order to better understand the flow control methods by means of streamwise vortices. The research presented here concerns streamwise vortex interaction with a horseshoe vortex. The effects of such an interaction are significantly dependent on the relative location of the streamwise vortex in respect to the leading edge of the profile. The streamwise vortex is induced by an air jet. The horseshoe vortex is generated by the leading edge of a symmetric profile. Such a configuration gives possibility to investigate the interaction of these two vortices alone. The presented analysis is based on numerical simulations by means of N-S compressible solver with a two-equation turbulence model.展开更多

The experimental program consists of total pressure, static pressure measurements at the inlet and outlet of the cascade, by using five-hole probe. In addition, static pressure on the blade suction surface and pressure surface was also obtained. Fences are effective in preventing the movement of the pressure side leg of the horseshoe vortex. Consequently the accumulation of low energy fluid on the suction surface is minimised. End wall losses are reduced by the fences due to weakening of the end wall cross flow.
文摘Control of shock wave and boundary layer interaction finds still a lot of attention. Methods of this interaction control have been especially investigated in recent decade. This research was mostly concerned with flows without separation. However, in many applications shock waves induce separation often leads to strong unsteady effects. In this context it is proposed to use streamwise vortices for the interaction control. The results of experimental investigations are presented here. The very promising results were obtained, meaning that the incipient separation was postponed and the separation size was reduced for the higher Mach numbers. The decrease of the RMS of average shock wave oscillation was also achieved.
文摘How control in turbomachinery is very difficult because of the complexity of its fully 3-D flow structure. The authors propose to introduce streamwise vortices into the control of internal flows. A simple configuration of vortices was investigated in order to better understand the flow control methods by means of streamwise vortices. The research presented here concerns streamwise vortex interaction with a horseshoe vortex. The effects of such an interaction are significantly dependent on the relative location of the streamwise vortex in respect to the leading edge of the profile. The streamwise vortex is induced by an air jet. The horseshoe vortex is generated by the leading edge of a symmetric profile. Such a configuration gives possibility to investigate the interaction of these two vortices alone. The presented analysis is based on numerical simulations by means of N-S compressible solver with a two-equation turbulence model.

文摘Streamwise vortex instability is one of the most potent mechanisms for the transition of the three-dimensional boundary layers.By using the global stability analysis methods,stability characteristics of the leeward vortex over a blunt cone with an angle of attack under a typical wind tunnel condition are studied and are compared to the case with a smaller wall temperature ratio(corresponding to a flight condition).The vortical structure features inward and outward vortices,similar to that in the flight con-dition.Unlike the flight condition,the outward vortices appear stronger than the inward vortices,resulting in stronger outer-mode instabilities.Although the inner mode is heavily stabilized compared to the flight condition,it can still radiate apparent acoustics.The acoustic sources are computed based on Lighthill's acoustic analogy,showing that the entropy term measuring the deviation from the isentropic relation is dominant.While Mack second mode is shown to most likely trigger the transition in the flight condition,it is absent in the wind tunnel condition,and a shear-layer mode turns out to be the most dangerous instead.Moreover,the instability frequencies and growth rates of the wind tunnel case are much smaller than those of the flight case,indicating that wall heating may stabilize the leeward vortices.
