用平均速度剖面法测量湍流边界层壁面摩擦速度的对比研究

基于不同雷诺数平板湍流边界层平均速度剖面,分别采用黏性底层拟合、对数律区拟合以及Spalding公式拟合算法计算了壁面摩擦速度,并对平均速度剖面进行无量纲化。通过比较无量纲化的平均速度剖面与理论规律曲线,验证了三种拟合计算方法的有效性。通过比较三种拟合算法所得的壁面摩擦速度与油膜干涉法直接测得的壁面摩擦速度之间的误差,并分析不同拟合算法误差形成的内在机制,验证了三种拟合算法计算结果的准确性与可靠性。结果表明Spalding拟合算法计算结果的准确性和可靠性都要优于其他两种拟合算法。     

Influence of uniform momentum zones on frictional drag within the turbulent boundary layer

Based on a set of experimental databases of turbulent boundary layers obtained from particle image velocimetry in the streamwise-wall-normal plane at friction-velocity-based Reynolds number Reτ=612,the influence of uniform momentum zones(UMZs)on the skin-friction drag is investigated.The skin-friction drag is measured by the single-pixel ensemble correlation method.The results show that the velocity fields with the number of UMZs larger than the mean value have a relatively low skin-friction drag,while the velocity fields with the number of UMZs less than the mean value have a relatively high skin-friction drag.By analyzing the statistical characteristics of UMZs,the dynamic correlation between the UMZs and skin-friction drag is explored.The velocity fields with a low number of UMZs present a sweep event.These sweep motions intensify the small-scale Reynolds shear stress in the near-wall region by modulation effects.The enhancement of small-scale Reynolds shear stress is the direct reason for the high skin-friction drag.Increasing the proportion of velocity fields with high UMZs amount may be a direction to reduce the skin-friction drag within the TBL.     

Experimental investigation on drag reduction in a turbulent boundary layer with a submerged synthetic jet

This work investigates the active control of a fully developed turbulent boundary layer by a submerged synthetic jet actuator.The impacts of the control are explored by measuring the streamwise velocities using particle image velocimetry,and reduction of the skin-friction drag is observed in a certain range downstream of the orifice.The coherent structure is defined and extracted using a spatial two-point correlation function,and it is found that the synthetic jet can efficiently reduce the streamwise scale of the coherent structure.Proper orthogonal decomposition analysis reveals that large-scale turbulent kinetic energy is significantly attenuated with the introduction of a synthetic jet.The conditional averaging results show that the induction effect of the prograde vortex on the low-speed fluid in a large-scale fluctuation velocity field is deadened,thereby suppressing the bursting process near the wall.     

湍流边界层等动量区演化机理的实验研究

等动量区是瞬时流场中流体动量接近的局部区域,其生成和分布与相干结构密切相关. 对等动量区的研究有助于更深入认识湍流边界层相干结构,但目前对其演化过程还缺乏实验支持和机理分析. 设计并使用移动式高时间分辨率粒子图像测速技术(TRPIV)系统对光滑平板湍流边界层进行了跟踪测量,用滤波方式对数据进行降噪,结合对直接数值模拟数据的插值结果,获得脉动速度信号. 使用改进方法去掉非湍流的影响,检测边界层内的等动量区,得到其数量的时间序列,结合流向速度概率密度函数分布的变化,分析得出了等动量区的数量在大的时间尺度下从一个稳态到另一个稳态的阶梯状变化特点. 分解不同尺度的脉动速度,对大尺度和小尺度脉动信号进行条件平均,发现大尺度脉动对等动量区数量变化起主要作用,表现为不同速度流体通过发生不同猝发事件改变流向速度概率密度函数分布. 分析流向大尺度脉动空间分布的变化,发现等动量区内常含有多个大尺度脉动区域,不同区域的扩张、收缩、分裂、合并影响流向速度的集中程度,进而导致等动量区数量的变化.      

Active control of wall-bounded turbulence for drag reduction with piezoelectric oscillators

An experimental investigation was performed for active control of coherent structure bursting in the near-wall region of the turbulent boundary layer. By means of synchronous and asynchronous vibrations with double piezoelectric vibrators,the influence of periodic vibration of the double piezoelectric vibrators on the mean velocity profile, drag reduction rate, and coherent structure bursting is analyzed at Re_θ= 2766. The case with 100 V/160 Hz-ASYN is superior to other conditions in the experiment and a relative drag reduction rate of 18.54% is exciting. Asynchronous vibration is more effective than synchronous vibration in drag reduction at the same voltage and frequency. In all controlled cases, coherent structures at large scales are regulated while the small-scale structures are stimulated. The fluctuating velocity increases significantly. A periodic regulating effect on the coherent structure can be seen in the ASYN control conditions at the frequency of 160 Hz.
