Surface roughness effects on the turbulence statistics in a low Reynolds number channel flow

A high-resolution particle image velocimetry was used to characterize a low Reynolds number turbulent flow in a channel. Experiments were conducted over a sand grain-coated surface of large relative roughness, and the results were compared with measurements over a smooth surface. The roughness perturbation significantly modified the outer layer. Even though the streamwise Reynolds stress shows less sensitivity in the outer layer to the boundary condition, significant enhancements were observed in the wall-normal Reynolds stress and the Reynolds shear stress. These modifications were considered as footprints of the larger-scale eddies transporting intense wall-normal motions away from the rough wall. A quadrant decomposition shows that strong and more frequent ejections are responsible for the larger values of the mean Reynolds shear stress over the rough wall. The results also indicate that spanwise vortex cores with mean vorticity of the same sign as the mean shear are the dominant smaller-scale vortical structures over the smooth and rough walls. A linear stochastic estimation-based analysis shows that the average larger-scale structure associated with these vortices is a shear layer that strongly connects the outer layer flow to the near-wall flow. A proper orthogonal decomposition of the flow suggests that the large-scale eddy is more energetic for the rough wall, and contributes more significantly to the resolved turbulent kinetic energy and the Reynolds shear stress than the smooth wall.     

On the presence of spectral shortcut in the energy budget of an asymmetric jet–wake flow in a forward-curved centrifugal turbomachine as deduced from SPIV measurements

Viscous dissipation and its contribution to turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget are investigated in the asymmetric jet–wake flow of a forward-curved centrifugal turbomachine. Single-plane three-dimensional turbulent data are obtained using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV). Viscous dissipation is indirectly estimated from subgrid-scale (SGS) dissipation (SGS energy flux) by filtering velocity field using a top-hat filter. The filter scale should be within the inertial sub-range and this is ensured by spectral analysis of the measured field. Reduction of turbulent energy flux for smaller filter scales plus underestimation of viscous dissipation as compared with other TKE terms both suggest the presence of spectral shortcut. This bypass energy transfer (from intermediate scales towards dissipative scales) works in parallel with direct SGS energy transfer and affects the classical energy cascade. Analysis of TKE budget in the rotor exit region shows significant radial/circumferential variations in the contributing terms. These variations are mainly due to jet–wake–volute interactions, circumferential asymmetry of volute area and expansion of flow toward the fan outlet.     

自然对流情形下激光辐照液体贮箱的机理

利用激光辐照靶目标时,被辐照部位可能是液体贮箱。通过实验测量与数值模拟的紧密结合,揭示了液体处于自然对流状态时激光辐照下贮箱侧壁温升及液体速度场的演化规律。结果表明：激光辐照初期,铝板中心温升率较高;随着壁面附近液体温度的升高,光斑附近速度边界层内的最大流速增大,传热强度亦增大,导致铝板温升率降低;当铝板吸收的激光能量能够基本被水的对流带走时,铝板中心的温升率趋于零。     

On the role of anisotropic turbomachinery flow structures in inter-scale turbulence energy flux as deduced from SPIV measurements

The present study uses stereoscopic particle image velocimetry in the rotor exit of a centrifugal turbomachine to analyse anisotropy and geometrical characteristics of tensorial flow quantities. The purpose is to identify dominant topologies of turbulence stress tensor and principal directions of flow structures. The misalignment between principal directions of strain and turbulence stress tensors is more evident in the jet–wake interaction regions and questions the eddy-viscosity models which assume an exact alignment between stress/strain eigenvectors. Anisotropy analysis based on the barycentric approach shows that the disk-like structure and/or the rod-like structure limiting states of turbulence are the most frequent topologies of turbulence stress. Additionally, planar straining is the dominant deformation characteristic in the measurement area. These anisotropic behaviours considerably attribute to the turbulence energy cascade. Conditional isolation of flow structures based on inter-scale energy flux shows that a larger extent of turbulence stress anisotropy results in a larger energy flux and therefore significantly affects the dynamics of turbulent flow structures.

Spatial resolution analysis of planar PIV measurements to characterise vortices in turbulent flows

The effects of spatial resolution of planar particle image velocimetry (PIV) on vortex size, swirling strength, circulation and population density characterisation are analysed using a series of experimental and numerical databases. The databases comprise a PIV database of an adverse-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer (APG TBL), a PIV database of a zero-pressure-gradient (ZPG) TBL in streamwise-wall-normal planes and streamwise-wall-normal slices of a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a ZPG TBL. The effects of interrogation window and mesh sizes on the vortex parameters are analysed in the outer region of these flows using different qualitative and quantitative approaches. The quantitative analysis mainly capitalises on the possibility of mimicking the PIV data-sets with the DNS one. These approaches allow us to not only isolate the effects of mesh size and the interrogation window size but also to deduce the combined effects of other measurement errors in PIV. Typical values of mesh size and interrogation window size (0.01–0.03 of the boundary layer thickness) and typical levels of measurement uncertainties have significant effects on the vortex parameters. Moreover, each PIV error source affects the vortex parameters in different and frequently opposite manners. Hence, an optimal selection of measurement parameters such as the interrogation window size is indispensable in order to minimise the effects of spatial resolution and other measurement errors on the vortex parameters. Guidelines are presented in the Conclusions section of this paper. Finally, it is found that all the vortex parameters, when averaged across the outer region, are reasonably comparable in the ZPG and APG TBLs despite the fact that these are very different flows.

Accurate measurement of wall skin friction by single-pixel ensemble correlation

The present work deals with accurately estimating wall-skin friction from near-wall mean velocity by means of PIV measurement.The estimation accuracy relies on the spatial resolution and the precision of the resolved velocity profile inside the viscous sublayer,which is a big challenge for conventional window-based correlation method(K?hler C J,et al.Exp Fluids,2012,52:1641–1656).With the help of single-pixel ensemble correlation,the ensemble-averaged velocity vector can be resolved at significant spatial resolution,thus improving the measurement accuracy.To demonstrate the feasibility of this single-pixel ensemble correlation method,we first study the velocity estimation precision in a case of steady near-wall flow.Synthetic particle images are used to investigate the effect of different image parameters.It is found that the velocity RMS-uncertainty level of the single-pixel ensemble correlation method can be equivalent to the conventional window correlation method once the effective particle number used for the ensemble correlation is large enough.Furthermore,a canonical turbulent boundary layer is synthetically simulated based on velocity statistics resolved by previous Direct Numerical Simulation(DNS)work(Schlatter P,et al.J Fluid Mech,2010,659:116–126).The relative error of wall skin friction coefficient is shown to be one-order smaller than that of the window correlation method.And the optimization strategy to further minimize the measurement uncertainty is discussed in the last part.

In this paper we explore the possibility of utilizing commercially available photothermoplastic plates as recording support in Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), to allow real time analysis of recorded data. An experimental apparatus has been developed which allows holographic recording and reconstruction of simulated PIV images. We show that double exposed photothermoplastic plates can successfully be analysed provided that a suitable recording/reconstruction scheme is used.     

Experimental Characterization of Sub-Millimetric Fluidic Actuators: Application to Boundary Layer Separation Control

Abstract

Sub-millimetric synthetic, continuous, and pulsed-jet actuators under identical conditions of generation are experimentally compared. Particle image velocimetry and hot-wire anemometry were used for measuring the velocity field. In the second part of the article, the interaction of these three types of actuators with a transverse external flow is characterized using the same experimental techniques. The studied plate is bended downstream from the actuator. Two angles are studied—0° and 28°. The efficiency of the fluidic action on the reattachment of the boundary layer is shown to be strongly dependant on the type of the jet.
