确定分布的展向Lorentz力调制下的槽道湍流涡结构

采用直接数值模拟方法,对槽道湍流中确定分布的Lorentz力的流动控制与减阻问题进行研究.讨论了Lorentz力作用于槽道湍流后,流场的特性和涡结构的特性,并对此类Lorentz力对槽道湍流的控制与减阻机理进行了讨论.研究发现:1)Lorentz力诱导的层流流场壁面附近存在梯度极大的展向速度剪切层,该剪切层容易形成流向涡结构;2)在给定合适参数的确定分布的Lorentz力作用下,湍流流场仅剩周期分布的准流向涡;3)与未控制流场相比,控制后的流场中,准流向涡的抬升高度大大降低,从而减小猝发强度,使壁面阻力下降.     

气固两相槽道湍流拟序结构变动的PIV测量

运用粒子成像测速仪(PIV)对壁面雷诺数为Re_τ=430、质量载荷为0.25×10~(-3)～5×10~(-3)的110μm聚乙烯颗粒加入前后的水平槽道湍流变动进行了研究。实验结果表明低载荷下气相湍流变动源于颗粒对湍流拟序结构的作用。颗粒的存在抑制了湍流拟序结构的发展,使得湍流准流向结构长度减小、猝发频率降低、猝发强度减弱;另外,颗粒尾涡脱落还导致了壁面附近的气相剪切雷诺应力增强。     

正弦波沟槽对湍流边界层相干结构影响的TR-PIV实验研究

利用高时间分辨率粒子图像测速(time-resolved particle image velocimetry, TR-PIV)技术,在不同雷诺数下对光滑壁面和二维顺流向、三维正弦波(two/three dimensional, 2D/3D)沟槽壁面湍流边界层流场进行了实验测量,从不同沟槽对湍流边界层相干结构影响的角度分析了其减阻的机理.对比不同壁面的各阶统计量结果发现:沟槽降低了壁面摩擦阻力,存在减阻效果,正弦波沟槽的减阻率增大.运用相关函数、λ_(ci)检测准则等方法提取了不同壁面湍流边界层发卡涡和低速条带等典型相干结构的空间拓扑形态,结果表明:两种沟槽壁面的相干结构在流向和法向上的空间尺度均有不同程度的减小,且相干结构与主流之间的倾角趋于更小,流体在法向上的运动及结构的抬升受到明显抑制,发卡涡诱导喷射和扫掠的能力降低,从而影响了湍流中能量与动量的输运过程及湍流的自维持机制,且相比于2D沟槽, 3D正弦波沟槽作用效果更为明显.在同一雷诺数下,随着距离壁面法向位置的增加,不同壁面湍流边界层低速条带的展向间距都变宽;但同一法向位置处2D/3D沟槽壁面湍流边界层低速条带的间距与光滑壁面的相比更宽,沟槽的存在有效抑制了低速条带在展向上的运动,使得低速条带更稳定.     

沟槽壁面减阻机理实验研究

利用IFA300型热线风速仪,测量了光滑壁面和沟槽减阻壁面湍流边界层内的瞬时速度,利用自行设计的阻力天平仪测量了壁面摩擦力。得到了边界层无量纲速度分布和平均湍动能分布。对测得的脉动速度信号,利用离散正交小波变换按时间和尺度分解,得到各尺度分量的湍动能,并且发现其分布在湍流惯性区具有极大值。分析表明,当沟槽有减阻效果时,边界层内的平均湍动能减小,湍流惯性区各分量的湍动能极大值亦减小。     

加热对自然转捩湍斑产生影响的实验研究

本文利用流动显示和高速摄像技术，在湍流度为1％的水洞中，对加热的细长旅成体鱼雷模型表面的流动转捩过程进行了实验研究。实验发现，加热对自然转捩过程中湍流斑的猝发有明显影响，加热减小了湍斑产生的频率，增加了湍斑间的展向间距，使转捩过程中层流转变为完全湍流的过渡区延长．加热对瑞斑产生的纵向位置无明显影响。本文的实验结果正好解释在较高湍流庭环境中的加热减阻机理．     

低Reynolds数翼型绕流主动控制技术

在低Reynolds数条件下,翼型绕流的上表面边界层由于抗逆压梯度能力变差容易发生流动分离,从而形成长层流分离泡.分离泡通常是非定常的,会诱发边界层的转捩、再附并形成湍流边界层.这个过程会使翼型的气动性能急剧下降,并伴随着强非线性效应.转捩后形成的湍流边界层也会产生高摩擦阻力.针对这种现象,文章以NACA0012翼型为例,通过隐式大涡模拟研究了有效的主动控制方案.为了统一分离控制技术和湍流边界层减阻技术,研究了在平板或槽道湍流中取得较好控制效果的壁面垂向反向控制方案.首先利用隐式大涡模拟研究了低Reynolds数条件下NACA0012翼型绕流的流场特征.其次分析并验证了反向控制方案在分离区控制流场的可行性,发现反向控制在分离区的作用相当于基于流场信息的壁面抽吸控制,且控制具有实时性和高效性,控制抽吸了前缘的低能流体,使得翼型前缘附面层变薄,并增强了其抗逆压梯度的能力,较大程度提高了翼型的气动性能.最后在湍流边界层验证了其减阻控制效果,发现反向控制阻断了流向涡的法向输运,抑制了涡结构的发展,并减弱了猝发过程,使得湍流的高摩阻力得到了有效降低.      

电磁力控制湍流边界层分离圆柱绕流场特性数值分析

在亚临界区高雷诺数Re=1.4×105下,采用脱体涡模拟结合湍流分离的方法对弱电解质中电磁力作用下湍流边界层分离圆柱绕流场及其升(阻)力特性进行了数值模拟和分析.结果表明,电磁力可以提高圆柱体湍流边界层内的流体动能,延缓圆柱体湍流边界层的流动分离,减弱圆柱体湍流绕流场中在流向和展向上大尺度漩涡的强度,减小圆柱体阻力时均值及其升力脉动幅值.当电磁力作用参数大于某个临界值后,湍流边界层流动分离消失,在圆柱体尾部产生射流现象,从而电磁力对圆柱体产生净推力作用,出现负阻力现象,而且升力脉动幅值接近于零,出现圆柱体升力消失现象.     

湍流强度对风力机翼型气动性能的影响

本文通过采用Transition-SST湍流模型对UMY02-T01-26风电机组专用翼型绕流流场的数值计算,探究了湍流强度对风力机翼型气动性能的影响。结果表明,随着湍流强度的提高,翼型升力系数由前缘失速转变为混合失速。在一定的攻角范围内,升力系数略有增大。对于攻角处于升力系数非线性增长区域范围内,湍流强度的增大导致翼型壁面最大负压值增大。当湍流强度变化时,其壁面上出现层流分离泡的位置大小随之发生变化。此外,本文通过流场分析进一步确定了层流分离泡的产生与变化。     

表面张力对疏水微结构表面减阻的影响

通过构造具有棋盘状微结构的疏水表面,考虑表面张力的影响,利用定常与非定常结合的数值模拟方法,研究了疏水表面在湍流状态下的减阻特性以及微结构内气体封存的效果,其中Re=3000—30000.在低雷诺数下,疏水表面微结构内气体封存状态良好,减阻率最高约为30%;随着雷诺数的增大,压差阻力增大,减阻率有下降趋势.当来流速度过大时,水会大量进入微结构,疏水表面的减阻率变化剧烈,且已经不再减阻.结果表明,表面张力削弱了壁面切应力的影响,使得低雷诺数下微结构内气体能够有效封存,进而减小壁面阻力.     

Mechanism of controlling turbulent channel flow with the effect of spanwise Lorentz force distribution

A direct numerical simulation(DNS) is performed to investigate the control effect and mechanism of turbulent channel flow with the distribution of spanwise Lorentz force. A sinusoidal distribution of constant spanwise Lorentz force is selected, of which the control effects, such as flow characters, mean Reynolds stress, and drag reductions, at different parameters of amplitude A and wave number k_x are discussed. The results indicate that the control effects vary with the parameter A and k_x. With the increase of A, the drag reduction rate D_r first increases and then decreases rapidly at low k_x,and slowly at high k_x. The low drag reduction(or even drag increase) is due to a weak suppression or even the enhancements of the random velocity fluctuation and mean Reynolds stress. The efficient drag reduction is due to the quasi-streamwise vortex structure induced by Lorentz force, which contributes to suppressing the random velocity fluctuation and mean Reynolds stress, and the negative vorticity improves the distribution of streamwise velocity. Therefore, the optimal control effect with a drag reduction of up to 58% can be obtained.     

Drag reduction in turbulent channel flow using bidirectional wavy Lorentz force

Turbulent control and drag reduction in a channel flow via a bidirectional traveling wave induced by spanwise oscillating Lorentz force have been investigated in the paper. The results based on the direct numerical simulation (DNS) indicate that the bidirectional wavy Lorentz force with appropriate control parameters can result in a regular decline of near-wall streaks and vortex structures with respect to the flow direction, leading to the effective suppression of turbulence generation and significant reduction in skin-friction drag. In addition, experiments are carried out in a water tunnel via electro-magnetic (EM) actuators designed to produce the bidirectional traveling wave excitation as described in calculations. As a result, the actual substantial drag reduction is realized successfully in these experiments.     

Drag reduction by herringbone riblet texture in direct numerical simulations of turbulent channel flow

A bird-feather-inspired herringbone riblet texture was investigated for turbulent drag reduction. The texture consists of blade riblets in a converging/diverging or herringbone pattern with spanwise wavelength Λ_f. The aim is to quantify the drag change for this texture as compared to a smooth wall and to study the underlying mechanisms. To that purpose, direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel with height L_z were performed. The Fukagata-Iwamoto-Kasagi identity for drag decomposition was extended to textured walls and was used to study the drag change mechanisms. For Λ_f/L_z ? O(10), the herringbone texture behaves similarly to a conventional parallel-riblet texture in yaw: the suppression of turbulent advective transport results in a slight drag reduction of 2%. For Λ_f/L_z ? O(1), the drag increases strongly with a maximum of 73%. This is attributed to enhanced mean and turbulent advection, which results from the strong secondary flow that forms over regions of riblet convergence/divergence. Hence, the employment of convergent/divergent riblets in the texture seems to be detrimental to turbulent drag reduction.     

Frequency Response of Near-Wall Coherent Structures to Localized Periodic Blowing and Suction in Turbulent Boundary Layer

We experimentally investigate the frequency response of near-wall coherent structures to localized periodic blow- ing and suction through a spanwise slot in a turbulent boundary layer by changing the frequency of periodic disturbance at similar velocities of free stream. The effects of blowing and suction disturbance on energy redistri- bution, turbulent intensity U^＋ rums over y^＋ and waveforms of phase-averaged velocity during sweeping process are respectively discussed under three frequencies of periodic blowing and suction in near-wall region of turbulent boundary layer, compared with those in a standard turbulent boundary layer. The most effective disturbance frequency is figured out in this system.     

Characterisation of backflow events over a wing section

Rare backflow (negative wall-shear stress) events have recently been found and quantified in the near-wall region of canonical wall-bounded turbulent flows. Although their existence and correlation with large-scale events have been established beyond numerical and measurement technique uncertainties, their occurrence at numerically high Reynolds numbers is still rare (less than 1 per thousand and 1 per million at the wall and beyond the viscous sublayer, respectively). To better quantify these rare events, the turbulent boundary layer developing over the suction side of a wing section, experiencing an increasing adverse pressure gradient (APG) without separation along its chord c, is considered in the present work. We find that the backflow level of 0.06% documented in turbulent channels and zero-pressure-gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layers is already exceeded on the suction side for x/c > 0.3, at friction Reynolds numbers three times lower, while close to the trailing edge the backflow level reaches 30%. Conditional analysis of extreme events indicates that for increasing Clauser pressure-gradient parameters (reaching β ? 35), the flow reaches a state in which the extreme events are more likely aligned with or against the freestream, and that the otherwise strong spanwise component of the wall-shear stress reduces towards the vicinity of the trailing edge. Backflow events subjected to moderate up to strong APG conditions (0.6 < β < 4.1) exhibit an average width of Δz⁺ ? 20, and an average lifetime of Δt⁺ ? 2. This directly connects with the findings by Lenaers et al., and implies that there is a connection between high-Re ZPG and strong APG conditions.     

均匀流中近壁面垂直流向振荡圆柱水动力特性研究

对均匀来流下靠近壁面处在垂直流向做强迫振荡运动的光滑圆柱的水动力特性进行了试验研究. 试验在拖曳水池中进行, 雷诺数为2× 10⁵, 通过采集顺流向和垂直流向的力, 得到了阻力系数、升力系数、相位角等与间隙比、振荡频率和振幅之间的关系. 通过研究得到如下结论: 1)振荡圆柱的平均阻力系数在近壁面处随间隙比的减小而骤降; 2)振荡圆柱泄涡受到完全抑制的临界间隙比要小于静止圆柱; 3)近壁面的存在对振荡圆柱的能量传递有着重要的影响, 自由边界圆柱强迫振荡所得到的水动力系数不能用来预报海底管道的涡激振动; 4)对于振荡圆柱, 附加质量系数只有在一定的频率范围内才是定值, 且在低频率区域其绝对值随间隙比减小而增大; 5)圆柱在进行强迫振荡时, 其平均阻力系数、振荡阻力系数和振荡升力系数均随无因次振幅的增加而增大. 关键词： 海底管道 强迫振荡 水动力特性 涡激振动     

Turbulent Boundary Layer Control via a Streamwise Travelling Wave Induced by an External Force

Turbulent boundary layer control via a streamwise travelling wave is investigated based on direct numerical simulation of an incompressible turbulent channel flow. The streamwise travelling wave is induced on one side wall of the channel by a spanwise external force, e.g., Lorenz force, which is con~ned in the viscous sublayer. As the control strategy used in this study has never been examined, we pay our attention to its efficiency of drag control. It is revealed that the propagating direction of the travelling wave, i.e., the downstream or upstream propagating direction with respect to the streamwise flow, has an important role on the drag control, leading to a significant drag reduction or enhancement for the parameters considered. The coherent structures of turbulent boundary layer are altered and the underlying mechanisms are analysed. The results obtained provide physical insight into the understanding of turbulent boundary layer control.
