前体涡发生器对轴对称高超声速进气道激波振荡流动的影响实验

激波振荡是高超声速进气道不起动过程中常见的流动现象,会显著降低进气道气流捕获与压缩效率、产生剧烈的非定常气动力载荷而危害飞行器安全.从激波振荡的控制出发,实验研究了前体转捩带位置的涡发生器对轴对称高超声速进气道激波振荡流动的影响.分别在起动和激波振荡两种进气道流态下,选择无、0.5 mm与1 mm高度涡发生器工况进行对比研究.并采用高速纹影与壁面动态测压同步记录非定常流动特征.结果表明,1 mm高度内的涡发生器对起动状态的进气道主流流场结构、壁面压强分布影响不显著.但对于激波振荡流动,涡发生器会明显缩小外压缩面分离区运动范围,缩短振荡周期,提升振荡周期内壁面压强的时均值.涡发生器的影响程度随其高度的增大而增强,其中振荡周期从无涡发生器的4 ms缩短到1 mm高度涡发生器的3.13 ms.此外,0.5 mm高度涡发生器会使得进气道内部测点的压强振荡幅值整体下降,相比无涡发生器工况的下降幅度可达23%.流场结构与壁面压强信号的分析表明,涡流发生器主要通过其产生的流向涡影响激波振荡流动,包含流向涡对下游边界层的扰动以及流向涡与分离区的相互干扰.

流场非均匀性对非平面激波诱导的Richtmyer-Meshkov不稳定性影响的数值研究

基于Navier-Stokes方程组，采用可压缩多介质黏性流动和湍流大涡模拟程序MVFT (multi-viscous-flow and turbulence)，模拟了均匀流场与初始密度呈现高斯函数分布的非均匀流场中马赫数为1.25的非平面激波加载初始扰动air/SF₆界面的Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM)不稳定性现象。数值模拟结果表明，初始流场非均匀性将会影响非平面激波诱导的RM不稳定性演化过程。反射激波加载前，非平面激波导致的界面扰动振幅随着流场非均匀性增强而增大；反射激波加载后，非均匀流场与均匀流场条件下的界面扰动振幅差异有所减小。进一步，定量分析流场中环量分布及脉动速度统计量揭示了前述规律的原因。此外，还与平面激波诱导的RM不稳定性进行了简单对比，发现由于非平面激波波阵面区域的涡量与激波冲击界面时产生的涡量的共同作用，使得非平面激波与平面激波诱导的界面失稳过程存在差异。

Separation control by vortex generator devices in a transonic channel flow

An experimental study was conducted in a transonic channel to control by mechanical vortex generator devices the strong interaction between a shock wave and a separated turbulent boundary layer. Control devices—co-rotating and counter-rotating vane-type vortex generators—were implemented upstream of the shock foot region and tested both on a steady shock wave and on a forced shock oscillation configurations. The spanwise spacing of vortex generator devices along the channel appeared to be an important parameter to control the flow separation region. When the distance between each device is decreased, the vortices merging is more efficient to reduce the separation. Their placement upstream of the shock wave is determinant to ensure that vortices have mixed momentum all spanwise long before they reach the separation line, so as to avoid separation cells. Then, vortex generators slightly reduced the amplitude of the forced shock wave oscillation by delaying the upstream displacement of the leading shock.

Formation and evolution of vortex rings induced by interactions between shock waves and a low-density bubble

The deformation and instability of a low-density spherical bubble induced by an incident and its reflected shock waves are studied by using the large eddy simulation method. The computational model is firstly validated by experimental results from the literature and is further used to examine the effect of incident shock wave strength on the formations and three-dimensional evolutions of the vortex rings. For the weak shock wave case (Ma?=?1.24), the baroclinic effect induced by the reflected shock wave is the key mechanism for the formation of new vortex rings. The vortex rings not only move due to the self-induced effect and the flow field velocity, but also generate azimuthal instability due to the pressure disturbance. For the strong shock wave case (Ma?=?2.2), a boundary layer is formed adjacent to the end wall owing to the approach of vortex ring, and unsteady separation of the boundary layer near the wall results in the ejection and formation of new vortex rings. These vortex rings interact in the vicinity of the end wall and finally collapse to a complicated vortex structure via azimuthal instability. For both shock wave strength cases, the evolutions of vortex rings due to the instability lead to the formation of the complicated structure dominated by the small-scale streamwise vortices.

A note on numerical simulation of vortical structures in shock diffraction

In numerical simulation of the Euler equations, the slipstream or shear layer that appears behind a diffracted shock wave may develop small discrete vortices using fine computational meshes. Similar phenomena were also observed in the simulation of a Mach reflection that is accompanied by a shear layer. However, these small vortices have never been observed in any shock-tube experiment, although the wave pattern and the shape of the main vortex agree very well with visualization results. Numerical solutions obtained with coarse grids may agree better with experimental photos than those with very fine grids because of the pollution of the small vortices. This note tries to investigate the effect of viscosity on the small vortices by comparing the solutions of the laminar Navier-Stokes equations and the turbulence model. It is found that the small vortices are still observed in the solution of the laminar Navier-Stokes equations, although they can be suppressed by using the turbulence model. Numerical and experimental factors that are responsible for the deviation of the laminar solutions from experimental results are discussed. The secondary vortex in shock diffraction is successfully simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations.Received: 28 March 2003, Accepted: 6 May 2003, Published online: 11 June 2003     

Further study on vortex shedding flow by a circular cylinder

In the present paper the mechanism involved in vortex shedding flows is investigated in detail. In the early stage of the unsteady separated flow the interaction between secondary vortices and primary vortices is quite strong. In the later stage of the flow, corresponding to the vortex shedding the recirculating flow region on each side of the aft body goes through such a cycle: growth-contraction-growth, the secondary separation occurs periodically rather than continuously. The reduction of circulation is taken into account in three cases with different decay factors to study its influence on the prediction of main flow characteristics. Results show that to simulate vortex shedding flow it is necessary to include the reduction of circulation to bring the calculated results into good agreement with experiments. An improved discrete vortex model is suggested in which both the secondary separation and the reduction are incorporated. The processes of vortex shedding, the forces prediction and other flow characteristics are given and some discussions are made.

A numerical exploration of secondary separation in starting flow around a flat plate by the discrete vortex model

In the present work, a further numerical simulation of the starting flow around a flat plate normal to the direction of motion in a uniform fluid has been made by means of the discrete vortex method. The secondary separation occurring at rear surface of the plate is explored, and predicted approximately using Thwait's method. The calculated results show that in the early stages of the flow secondary separation does occur. The evolution of flow field, the vortex growing process and the characteristics of secondary vortices have been described. The time dependent drag coefficients, the vorticity shed from the edges and rear surface, and the separation positions are calculated as well as the distributions of velocity and pressure on the plate. In the case of flow normal to the plate, the calculated secondary vortices are weak. Their existence will change the local velocity distributions and affect pressure distributions. However, the effect on drag coefficient is negligible.     

Inviscid vortex structures in the shock layers of conical flows around V wings

The applicability of the criteria of existence of inviscid vortex structures (vortex Ferri singularities) is studied in the case in which a contact discontinuity of the corresponding intensity proceeds from the branching point of the λ shock wave configuration accompanying turbulent boundary layer separation under the action of an inner shock incident on the leeward wing panel. The calculated and experimental data are analyzed, in particular, those obtained using the special shadow technique developed for visualizing supersonic conical streams in nonsymmetric, Mach number 3 flow around a wing with zero sweep of the leading edges and the vee angle of 2π /3. The applicability of the criteria of existence of inviscid vortex structures is established for contact discontinuities generated by the λ shock wave configuration accompanying turbulent boundary layer separation realized under the action of a shock wave incident on the leeward wing panel. Thus, it is established that the formation of the vortex Ferri singularities in a shock layer is independent of the reason for the existence of the contact discontinuity and depends only on its intensity.     

Numerical study on the turbulent mixing of planar shock-accelerated triangular heavy gases interface

The interaction of a planar shock wave with a triangle-shaped sulfur hexafluoride (\(\mathrm{SF_6}\)) cylinder surrounded by air is numerically studied using a high resolution finite volume method with minimum dispersion and controllable dissipation reconstruction. The vortex dynamics of the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability and the turbulent mixing induced by the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability are discussed. A modified reconstruction model is proposed to predict the circulation for the shock triangular gas–cylinder interaction flow. Several typical stages leading the shock-driven inhomogeneity flow to turbulent mixing transition are demonstrated. Both the decoupled length scales and the broadened inertial range of the turbulent kinetic energy spectrum in late time manifest the turbulent mixing transition for the present case. The analysis of variable-density energy transfer indicates that the flow structures with high wavenumbers inside the Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices can gain energy from the mean flow in total. Consequently, small scale flow structures are generated therein by means of nonlinear interactions. Furthermore, the occasional “pairing” between a vortex and its neighboring vortex will trigger the merging process of vortices and, finally, create a large turbulent mixing zone.     

Heating characteristics of blunt swept fin-induced shock wave turbulent boundary layer interaction

An experimental study was conducted on shock wave turbulent boundary layer interactions caused by a blunt swept fin-plate configuration at Mach numbers of 5.0, 7.8, 9.9 for a Reynolds number range of (1.0∼4.7)×10⁷/m. Detailed heat transfer and pressure distributions were measured at fin deflection angles of up to 30° for a sweepback angle of 67.6°. Surface oil flow patterns and liquid crystal thermograms as well as schlieren pictures of fin shock shape were taken. The study shows that the flow was separated at deflection of 10° and secondary separation were detected at deflection of ϑ≥20°. The heat transfer and pressure distributions on flat plate showed an extensive plateau region followed by a distinct dip and local peak close to the fin foot. Measurements of the plateau pressure and heat transfer were in good agreement with existing prediction methods, but pressure and heating peak measurements atM≥6 were significantly lower than predicted by the simple prediction techniques at lower Mach numbers.
