Instantaneous and time-averaged flow structures around a blunt double-cone with or without supersonic film cooling visualized via nano-tracer planar laser scattering

In a Mach 3.8 wind tunnel, both instantaneous and time-averaged flow structures of different scales around a blunt double-cone with or without supersonic film cooling were visualized via nano-tracer planar laser scattering (NPLS), which has a high spatiotemporal resolution. Three experimental cases with different injection mass flux rates were carried out. Many typical flow structures were clearly shown, such as shock waves, expansion fans, shear layers, mixing layers, and turbulent boundary layers. The analysis of two NPLS images with an interval of 5 μs revealed the temporal evolution characteristics of flow structures. With matched pressures, the laminar length of the mixing layer was longer than that in the case with a larger mass flux rate, but the full covered region was shorter. Structures like K-H (Kelvin-Helmholtz) vortices were clearly seen in both flows. Without injection, the flow was similar to the supersonic flow over a backward-facing step, and the structures were relatively simpler, and there was a longer laminar region. Large scale structures such as hairpin vortices were visualized. In addition, the results were compared in part with the schlieren images captured by others under similar conditions.

The fractal measurement of experimental images of supersonic turbulent mixing layer

Flow visualization of supersonic mixing layer has been studied based on the high spatiotemporal resolution Nano-based Planar Laser Scattering(NPLS) method in SML-1 wind tunnel. The corresponding images distinctly reproduced the flow structure of laminar,transitional and turbulent region,with which the fractal measurement can be implemented. Two methods of measuring fractal dimension were introduced and compared. The fractal dimension of the transitional region and the fully developing turbulence region of supersonic mixing layer were measured based on the box-counting method. In the transitional region,the fractal dimension will increase with turbulent intensity. In the fully developing turbulent region,the fractal dimension will not vary apparently for different flow structures,which em-bodies the self-similarity of supersonic turbulence.

超声速平板圆台突起物绕流实验和数值模拟研究

高速飞行器表面不可避免的存在突起物并形成复杂流场, 从而引起飞行器气动特性和热载荷的变化; 同时, 突起物是流动控制的重要方法之一, 合适的突起物形状及安装位置对于改善冲压发动机进气道性能有重要意义. 本文采用基于纳米粒子的平面激光散射技术(NPLS)研究了马赫3.0来流边界层为层流的平板上三个不同高度圆台突起物绕流流场, 主要关注了突起物后方的尾迹边界层, 并采用高精度的显式五阶精度加权紧致非线性格式(WCNS-E-5)离散求解Navier-Stokes方程模拟了该流场. 获得了超声速圆台绕流精细流场结构, 观察到突起物后方尾迹区域边界层发展的过程. 结合实验和数值模拟结果可以发现, 当圆台高度接近或者小于当地边界层厚度时, 突起物对边界层的扰动非常弱, 圆台后方尾迹边界层能够维持较长距离的层流状态, 在边界层转捩阶段也有清晰的发卡涡结构出现; 反之, 边界层受到的扰动明显增大, 在突起物后方很快发展为湍流; 风洞噪声对本文研究圆台引起的边界层扰动有一定影响, 实验获得的边界层转捩位置要比数值结果靠前. 基于NPLS流场图像, 采用间歇性方法分析了圆台突起物后方边界层的特性, 对于高度大于边界层厚度的圆台其间歇性曲线较为接近并且更加饱满, 边界层的脉动也更为强烈.

Flow control of micro-ramps on supersonic forward-facing step flow

The effects of the micro-ramps on supersonic turbulent flow over a forward-facing step(FFS) was experimentally investigated in a supersonic low-noise wind tunnel at Mach number 3 using nano-tracer planar laser scattering(NPLS)and particle image velocimetry(PIV) techniques. High spatiotemporal resolution images and velocity fields of supersonic flow over the testing model were captured. The fine structures and their spatial evolutionary characteristics without and with the micro-ramps were revealed and compared. The large-scale structures generated by the micro-ramps can survive the downstream FFS flowfield. The micro-ramps control on the flow separation and the separation shock unsteadiness was investigated by PIV results. With the micro-ramps, the reduction in the range of the reversal flow zone in streamwise direction is 50% and the turbulence intensity is also reduced. Moreover, the reduction in the average separated region and in separation shock unsteadiness are 47% and 26%, respectively. The results indicate that the micro-ramps are effective in reducing the flow separation and the separation shock unsteadiness.

超声速光学头罩在大气层内飞行时, 需要在光学窗口表面顺来流方向进行喷流冷却, 致使窗口上方流场更为复杂. 目标光线穿过窗口上方流场, 受到激波、膨胀波、混合层、湍流边界层等流场结构引起的变密度场影响而产生波前畸变, 导致成像出现偏移、抖动、模糊等气动光学效应. 本文对马赫数3.8来流条件下有无喷流时超声速光学头罩流场引起的气动光学波前畸变进行了试验研究. 基于纳米示踪的平面激光散射技术, 首先对流场图像进行密度校准获得高时空分辨率密度场, 然后采用光线追迹法计算得到波长532 nm平面光波垂直于光学窗口穿过流场后的光程差(optical path difference, OPD)分布, 并对窗口上方近壁区有无喷流状态的流场结构引起的 OPD分布进行了研究. 发现无喷流时, 流场结构相对较为简单, 窗口上方有较长的回流区和层流区, 而有喷流时窗口上方出现复杂的剪切层、混合层及湍流边界层, 流动很快就转捩为湍流结构, 其引起的气动光学畸变要明显高于无喷流状态. 无喷流状态相隔5 μs的流场引起的光程差均方根值分别为0.0348 和0.0356 μm, 有喷流状态的光程差均方根值分别为0.0462 和0.0485 μm. 关键词： 超声速 喷流 气动光学 光程差     

Visualisation on supersonic flow over backward-facing step with or without roughness

At Mach number 3.4, visualisation experiments of flow over backward-facing step (BFS) with or without roughness band attached on upstream wall are carried out via traditional schlieren and newly developed nano-tracer-based planar laser scattering (NPLS). The time-averaged flow characteristic of the reattachment region and the instantaneous rich structures of the redeveloping boundary layer in the steamwise-normal plane are both revealed. Additionally, top views in the different planes (y/h = 0.67, 1.00, 1.33, 1.67, 2.00) are imaged with a resolution of 0.064 mm/pixel. By contrasting the NPLS images at different times, the unsteady evolution characteristic of the coherent vortices in the redeveloping boundary layer was discussed. Static wall pressure is measured by a micro-pressure scanning system. The incipient formation positions are pointed out statistically. Without roughness, the longitudinal structures with scales of 1.0h and 1.2h form later and distribute in a longer region compared to that with roughness. Fractal analysis is applied and the averaged fractal dimensions of the overall and sectional flow structures are calculated. If roughness is adopted, the fractal dimension will be larger and the turning point in the sectional fractal dimensions is earlier. However, the dimension tends to be one coincided value in the farther downstream.     

Study of density field measurement based on NPLS technique in supersonic flow

Due to the influence of shock wave and turbulence, supersonic density field exhibits strongly inhomogeneous and unsteady characteristics. Applying traditional density field measurement techniques to supersonic flows yields three problems: low spatiotemporal resolution, limitation of measuring 3D density field, and low signal to noise ratio (SNR). A new method based on Nano-based Planar Laser Scattering (NPLS) technique is proposed in this paper to measure supersonic density field. This method measures planar transient density field in 3D supersonic flow by calibrating the relationship between density and concentration of tracer particles, which would display the density fluctuation due to the influence of shock waves and vortexes. The application of this new method to density field measurement of supersonic optical bow cap is introduced in this paper, and the results reveal shock wave, turbulent boundary layer in the flow with the spatial resolution of 93.2 μm/pixel. By analyzing the results at interval of 5 μs, temporal evolution of density field can be observed. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 10672178)

为了探究超声速边界层流动稳定性及其转捩控制机理,提出基于合成冷/热射流的边界层速度-温度耦合控制方法,并通过数值模拟研究了Ma=4.5超声速平板边界层不稳定波的传播,采用线性稳定性理论中的时间模式分析了壁面吹吸、射流温度、扰动频率、扰动振幅等对不稳定波控制效果的影响.结果表明:无射流控制时,边界层内同时存在不稳定的第一模态扰动波和第二模态扰动波,且二维波形式的第二模态占主导地位;壁面吹吸作用下,仅出现更加不稳定的第二模态,第一模态被抑制;速度-温度耦合控制下,射流温度对扰动模态的不稳定区域大小及扰动增长率影响显著,射流温度与来流温度不同时,温度的脉动使得流动转捩为湍流的速度加快,边界层速度型更加饱满,抗干扰能力增强,流动稳定性提高;高频的吹吸扰动对流场的控制效果优于低频扰动,扰动频率超过400 Hz时,第二模态扰动波时间增长率降低,扰动分量对边界层速度剖面和温度剖面的修正加快,第二模态更加稳定;扰动振幅减小为主流速度的1%时,仅出现时间增长率较小的第二模态,控制效果较好,进一步减小时,第一模态重新出现,并且波数范围与第二模态先重合后分离,对应的时间增长率先增加后减小.研究结果为边界层转捩控制技术提供了新的思路.     

Analysing the structure of the optical path length of a supersonic mixing layer by using wavelet methods

The nano-particle-based planar laser scattering(NPLS) technique is used to measure the density distribution in the supersonic mixing layer of the convective Mach number 0.12,and the optical path difference(OPL),which is quite crucial for the study of aero-optics,is obtained by post processing.Based on the high spatiotemporal resolutions of the NPLS,the structure of the OPL is analysed using wavelet methods.The coherent structures of the OPL are extracted using three methods,including the methods of thresholding the coefficients of the orthogonal wavelet transform and the wavelet packet transform,and preserving a number of wavelet packet coefficients with the largest amplitudes determined by the entropy dimension.Their performances are compared,and the method using the wavelet packet is the best.Based on the viewpoint of multifractals,we study the OPL by the wavelet transform maxima method(WTMM),and the result indicates that its scaling behaviour is evident.     

Imaging of supersonic flow over a double elliptic surface

The coherent structures of flow over a double elliptic surface are experimentally investigated in a supersonic lownoise wind tunnel at Mach number 3 using nano-tracer planar laser scattering(NPLS)and particle image velocimetry(PIV)techniques.High spatiotemporal resolution images and velocity fields of both laminar and turbulent inflows over the test model are captured.Based on the time-correlation images,the spatial and temporal evolutionary characteristics of the coherent structures are investigated.The flow structures in the NPLS images are in good agreement with the velocity fluctuation fields by PIV.From statistically significant ensembles,spatial correlation analysis of both cases is performed to quantify the mean size and the orientation of coherent structures.The results indicate that the mean structure is elliptical in shape and the structural angles in the separated region of laminar inflow are slightly smaller than that of turbulent inflow.Moreover,the structural angles of both cases increase with their distance away from the wall.
