展向凹槽及泄流孔对高超声速平板边界层转捩影响的试验研究

针对展向凹槽和泄流孔对高超声速钝平板边界层转捩的影响,在中国空气动力研究与发展中心F2 m激波风洞(FD-14A)开展了试验及初步的计算与理论研究.试验的来流马赫数为6、单位雷诺数为3.3×107/m,平板的前缘半径为1 mm,攻角为–4°.在距平板前缘110 mm处布置三组不同的二维展向凹槽,凹槽的宽度与深度分别为凹槽1(2.5 mm,1 mm)、凹槽2(3.75 mm,1.5 mm)、凹槽3(5 mm,2 mm),同时凹槽1的两端可以打开泄流孔,记为凹槽4,不含凹槽时的光滑平板情况记为凹槽5或平板.采用热流传感器测量了不同情况下平板中心线的热流分布,测量结果显示,光滑平板情况在x≈340 mm处开始转捩,在x≈425 mm处转捩接近完成.凹槽导致平板边界层的转捩位置提前,且随着凹槽宽度及深度的增加,对转捩的促进作用增强,转捩位置向上游移动.凹槽1增加泄流孔后(凹槽4)其热流分布及转捩位置与光滑平板情况基本一致.边界层流动完全转捩为湍流后,各情况下的热流差别较小,表明不同规格的凹槽只影响转捩过程中的热流分布,对转捩完成后的湍流壁面热流影响较小.数值计算(CFD)结果显示,泄流孔导致了被动抽吸,试验结果显示凹槽两端的泄流孔抽吸效应抵消了凹槽对平板中心线边界层转捩的促进作用.采用线性稳定性理论(LST)及最优扰动方法分析了光滑钝平板情况的流动失稳机制.LST结果显示,本文平板流动不存在Mack第一模态、第二模态失稳,因此传统的模态失稳机制无法解释试验中观测到的转捩现象.最优扰动计算显示,平板流动存在较强的非模态失稳,可以定性解释观测到的转捩现象.

Harmonics of Tollmien — Schlichting waves in a compressible boundary layer

The harmonics of Tollmien—Schlichting waves in a compressible boundary layer of a plate are computed with the aid of nonlinear parabolized stability equations. At the (downstream) growth of the second harmonic amplitude up to the values of the order of the basic harmonic amplitude, the amplification rate of the latter is shown to increase abruptly. A similar rapid deviation from the results of the linear theory characterizes the onset of the boundary-layer transition to turbulent state. Computations are carried out for the Mach numbers M = 0.01 and 2. The work was financially supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Grant No. 05-01-00079a).     

The mechanism of breakdown in laminar-turbulent transition of a supersonic boundary layer on a flat plate-temporal mode

Recently, more and more attentions have been paid to the transition and turbulence of compressible flows, especially supersonic flows, but progress is very slow. In general, attentions were paid to the evolution of disturbances in laminar flow region, and the mechanism of breakdown process in laminar-turbulent transition remains unclear. The conventional idea of what leads to laminar-turbulent transition is that the transi-tion starts from the amplification of disturbances, and when the distur…     

DNS of compressible turbulent boundary layer over a blunt wedge

Wall turbulence is more complicated than free turbulence, and the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of wall turbulence is more difficult. In recent years, most of DNS cases for wall turbulence are simplified by using temporal mode, where streamwise pe- riodic boundary condition is imposed. In temporal mode, spatial transition will be con- sidered as an analogue of time-evolving transition. For the channel turbulence, an equivalent body force can substitute for the mean gradient of pressure, …     

Evolution of the ring-like vortices and spike structure in transitional boundary layers

At the late stage of transitional boundary layers, the nonlinear evolution of the ring-like vortices and spike structures and their effects on the surrounding flow were studied by means of direct numerical simulation with high order accuracy.

Observations of the atmospheric boundary layer across the land-sea transition zone using a scanning Mie lidar

Optical properties of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) above the land-sea transition interface were measured using a scanning Mie lidar located 30 km away from the Adriatic coast. Based on the two-dimensional range-height-indicator scans, detailed information on the ABL was obtained, including parameters such as atmospheric optical depth, aerosol extinction coefficient and the height of the ABL. The presented case study indicates that the height of the ABL in the land-sea transition zone and the adjacent mountainous region was changing rapidly due to highly variable atmospheric conditions.     

Breakdown of the chain of ring vortices in a transitional boundary layer

A large number of experiments have been devoted to the study of the generation and development of the high-frequency structures, i.e. the chain of ring-like vortices and breakdown of the chain of ring-llke vortices, to the investi-gation of their relevance to laminar-turbulent transition in a boundary layer flow; however, the origins of turbulence via the process of flow randomization are still not well understood. For this reason a detailed experiment was performed to document the important shape and configuration of the late-stage transitional structures and to investigate some of the still insufficiently understood mechanisms of flow randomization.     

Characterizing the relative role of low-frequency and turbulent processes in the nocturnal boundary layer through the analysis of two-point correlations of the wind components

The study presents an analysis of two-point correlations between time series of nocturnal atmospheric wind, obtained from two micrometeorological towers, 45 m horizontally apart, each equipped with two sonic anemometers, 2.5 m vertically apart. It focuses on the scale dependence of the two-point correlations obtained from sensors vertically and horizontally separated. In particular, the role of low-frequency non-turbulent processes in the correlations is assessed, and compared to that of the turbulent scales of motion. The vertical correlations of the streamwise and vertical wind components show little dependence on the turbulence intensity, but those of the spanwise component decrease appreciably as it gets more turbulent. Multiresolution decomposition shows that the two-point correlations become increasingly dominated by low-frequency scales as it gets less turbulent, and that such large-scale processes are largely reduced in fully turbulent conditions. It is also shown that the vertical correlations of the spanwise wind component is negative for very small time scales. Horizontal two-point correlations obtained at the 45 m separation distance between the towers are almost entirely dominated by low-frequency motions, regardless of the turbulence intensity, but the magnitude of such correlations decreases with increasing turbulence intensity for any wind components. A comparison between the horizontal two-point correlations and autocorrelations taken with a time lag given by the ratio of the horizontal separation to the mean wind component in the direction that connects the two towers leads to the conclusion that the statistical properties of turbulence are often preserved over the horizontal distance, despite the lack of turbulence correlations for that separation.     

Roughness sub-layer investigation of a turbulent boundary layer

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements at relatively low Reynolds numbers in a turbulent boundary layer over a three-dimensional roughened surface, consisting of pyramidal rows, have been presented. Measurements have been taken in a streamwise wall-normal plane intercepting the apex of a row of pyramids and the diagonal of the square base. The results shown in this paper point out the non-homogeneity of the flow in the roughness sub-layer. The different flow behaviour along the ascendant and the descendent part of the pyramids and in the region between two consecutive pyramids has been visualised. Low values of the streamwise component of the mean velocity and high values of the streamwise and wall-normal component of the Reynolds normal stresses, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stresses are present in the downstream part of the pyramids, near their base. The mean representation of the flow shows swirling patterns in correspondence of the top of the pyramids. It is suggested that this representation is produced mainly by vortical structures travelling along the wall, retarded and intensified when interacting with the flow around the roughness element and by swirling patterns originating from the interaction of the incoming flow with the pyramids. In order to understand the origin of the high turbulence activity observed downstream the pyramids, near their base, a conditional analysis based on the quadrant method has been performed. It has been shown that sweep events are the major contributor to the very high values of the Reynolds shear stresses observed in this region and are due to the combination of the vortical flow at the top of the pyramid and a large scale (with respect to the roughness element) inflow motion.     

Near-surface turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer

Measurements of the near-surface turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer have been made using hot-wire probes above the salt flats of northwestern Utah, where the momentum thickness Reynolds number, R_θ, is O(10⁶), and the surface is smooth and nearly devoid of flow obstructions. The measurements were made with arrays of up to 24 parallel straight sensors and with a modular 12-sensor probe capable of measuring all of the components of the instantaneous velocity vector and velocity gradient tensor. Measurements were also made in a laboratory wind tunnel at R_θ=1730 using 22 straight sensors. The data analysis focuses on the effects of the Reynolds number on turbulence properties and on the physics of the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy.Some properties are found to be dependent on the Reynolds number when normalized with inner variables, while others are not. Among those that show the significant Reynolds number dependence are the rms and the skewness factor of the streamwise velocity fluctuations.Significant differences in flow structure, particularly those related to high rates of dissipation, are implied by the data. The joint PDF and covariance integrand of streamwise and wall normal vorticity fluctuations show less preferred orientation of the vorticity vector in the buffer layer at R_θ of O(10⁶) than at R_θ=1070. The largest contribution to the dissipation rate, at O(10⁶) is by the ∂w/∂z velocity gradient, while this term makes a quite small contribution to the dissipation rate at low R_θ. Here w and z are the spanwise velocity fluctuations and direction, respectively. Conditional analysis in the streamwise-wall normal (x−y) plane based on high instantaneous dissipation rate shows that the typical high dissipation rate events are generally similar at high and low Reynolds numbers, but display some significant differences.
