On the effects of a periodic, spanwise variation of suction upon asymptotic suction flow

Summary The effects of superposing streamwise vorticity, periodic in the lateral direction, upon two-dimensional asymptotic suction flow are analyzed. Such vorticity, generated by prescribing a spanwise variation in the suction velocity, is known to play an important role in unstable and turbulent boundary layers. The flow induced by the variation has been obtained for a freestream velocity which (i) is steady, (ii) oscillates periodically in time, (iii) changes impulsively from rest. For the oscillatory case it is shown that a frequency can exist which maximizes the induced, unsteady wall shear stress for a given spanwise period. For steady flow the heat transfer to, or from a wall at constant temperature has also been computed.Nomenclature (x, y, z) spatial coordinates - (u, v, w) corresponding components of velocity - (, , ) corresponding components of vorticity - t time - stream function for v and w - v _w mean wall suction velocity - nondimensional amplitude of variation in wall suction velocity - characteristic wavenumber for variation in direction of z - T temperature - P pressure - density - coefficient of kinematic viscosity - coefficient of thermal diffusivity - (/v _w)² - frequency of oscillation of freestream velocity - nondimensional amplitude of freestream oscillation - /v _w ² - z z - y –v _w y/ - v _w ² t/4 - /v _w - U ₀ characteristic freestream velocity - u/U ₀ - coefficient of viscosity - _w wall shear stress - Prandtl number (/) - q heat transfer to wall - T _w wall temperature - T (T _w–T)/(T _w–)     

Flow of second-order fluids over an enclosed rotating disc

Summary This paper is devoted to a study of the flow of a second-order fluid (flowing with a small mass rate of symmetrical radial outflow m, taken negative for a net radial inflow) over a finite rotating disc enclosed within a coaxial cylinderical casing. The effects of the second-order terms are observed to depend upon two dimensionless parameters ₁ and ₂. Maximum values ₁ and ₂ of the dimensionless radial distances at which there is no recirculation, for the cases of net radial outflow (m>0) and net radial inflow (m<0) respectively, decrease with an increase in the second-order effects [represented by T(=₁+₂)]. The velocities at ₁ and ₂ as well as at some other fixed radii have been calculated for different T and the associated phenomena of no-recirculation/recirculation discussed. The change in flow phenomena due to a reversal of the direction of net radial flow has also been studied. The moment on the rotating disc increases with T.Nomenclature , , z coordinates in a cylindrical polar system - z ₀ distance between rotor and stator (gap length) - =/z ₀, dimensionless radial distance - =z/z ₀, dimensionless axial distance - _s = _s/z₀, dimensionless disc radius - V =(u, v, w), velocity vector - dimensionless velocity components - uniform angular velocity of the rotor - , p fluid density and pressure - P =p/(₂ z ₀₂ ² , dimensionless pressure - ₁, ₂, ₃ kinematic coefficients of Newtonian viscosity, elastico-viscosity and cross-viscosity respectively - ₁, _{2 2}/z ₀ ² , resp. ₃/z ₀ ² , dimensionless parameters representing the ratio of second-order and inertial effects - m = , mass rate of symmetrical radial outflow - l a number associated with induced circulatory flow - Rm =m/(z ₀₁), Reynolds number of radial outflow - R _l =l/(z ₀₁), Reynolds number of induced circulatory flow - Rz =z ₀ ² /₁, Reynolds number based on the gap - ₁, ₂ maximum radii at which there is no recirculation for the cases Rm>0 and Rm<0 respectively - ₁(T), ₂(T) ₁ and ₂ for different T - U _1(T) ⁽⁺⁾ = dimensionless radial velocity, Rm>0 - V _1(T) ⁽⁺⁾ = , dimensionless transverse velocity, Rm>0 - U _2(T) ^(–) = , dimensionless radial velocity, Rm=–Rn<0, m=–n - V _2(T) ^(–) = , dimensionless transverse velocity, Rm<0 - C _m moment coefficient     

Boundary layer effect on thermal NO decomposition behind incident shock waves

The thermal decomposition of nitric oxide (diluted in Argon) has been measured behind incident shock waves by means of IR diode laser absorption spectroscopy. In two independent runs the diode laser was tuned to the=0 =1² _3/2 R(18.5)-rotational vibrational transition and the=1 =2² _3/2 R(20.5)-rotational vibrational transition of nitric oxide, respectively. These two transitions originating from the vibrational ground state (=0) and the first excited vibrational state (=1) were selected in order to probe the homogeneity along the absorption path. The measured NO decomposition could satisfactorily be described by a chemical reaction mechanism after taking into account boundary layer corrections according to the theory of Mirels. The study forms a further proof of Mirels' theory including his prediction of the laminar-turbulent transition. It also shows, that the inhomogeneities from the boundary layer do not affect the IR linear absorption markedly.This article was processed using Springer-Verlag T_EX Shock Waves macro package 1.0 and the AMS fonts, developed by the American Mathematical Society.     

The virtual origin of riblets in an open channel flow

In this paper, a method using the mean velocity profiles for the buffer layer was developed for the estimation of the virtual origin over a riblets surface in an open channel flow. First, the standardized profiles of the mixing length were estimated from the velocity measurement in the inner layer, and the location of the edge of the viscous layer was obtained. Then, the virtual origins were estimated by the best match between the measured velocity profile and the equations of the velocity profile derived from the mixing length profiles. It was made clear that the virtual origin and the thickness of the viscous layer are the function of the roughness Reynolds number. The drag variation coincided well with other results.Nomenclature f _r skin friction coefficient - f _ro skin friction coefficient in smooth channel at the same flow quantity and the same energy slope - g gravity acceleration - H water depth from virtual origin to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - H false water depth from top of riblets to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - I _e streamwise energy slope - I _b bed slope - k riblet height - k ⁺ u*k/ - l mixing length - l _s standardized mixing length - Q flow quantity - Re Reynolds number volume flow/unit width/v - s riblet spacing - u mean velocity - u* friction velocity = - u* false friction velocity = - y distance from virtual origin - y distance from top of riblet - y ₀ distance from top of riblet to virtual origin - y _v distance from top of riblet to edge of viscous layer - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ₀ ⁺ u*y ₀/ - u ⁺ u*y/ - shifting coefficient for standardization - thickness of viscous layer=y ₀+y - ⁺ u*/ - ⁺ u*/ - eddy viscosity - ridge angle - v kinematic viscosity - density - shear stress

On the prediction of riblet performance with engineering turbulence models

The paper reports the outcome of a numerical study of fully developed flow through a plane channel composed of ribleted surfaces adopting a two-equation turbulence model to describe turbulent mixing. Three families of riblets have been examined: idealized blade-type, V-groove and a novel U-form that, according to computations, achieves a superior performance to that of the commercial V-groove configuration. The maximum drag reduction attained for any particular geometry is broadly in accord with experiment though this optimum occurs for considerably larger riblet heights than measurements indicate. Further explorations bring out a substantial sensitivity in the level of drag reduction to the channel Reynolds number below values of 15 000 as well as to the thickness of the blade riblet. The latter is in accord with the trends of very recent, independent experimental studies.Possible shortcomings in the model of turbulence are discussed particularly with reference to the absence of any turbulence-driven secondary motions when an isotropic turbulent viscosity is adopted. For illustration, results are obtained for the case where a stress transport turbulence model is adopted above the riblet crests, an elaboration that leads to the formation of a plausible secondary motion sweeping high momentum fluid towards the wall close to the riblet and thereby raising momentum transport.Nomenclature c _f Skin friction coefficient - c _f Skin friction coefficient in smooth channel at the same Reynolds number - k Turbulent kinetic energy - K ⁺ k/ _w - h Riblet height - S Riblet width - H Half height of channel - Re Reynolds number = volume flow/unit width/ - Modified turbulent Reynolds number - R _t turbulent Reynolds numberk ²/ - P _k Shear production rate ofk, _t (U _i /x _j + U _j /x _i ) U _i /x _j - dP/dz Streamwise static pressure gradient - U _i Mean velocity vector (tensor notation) - U Friction velocity, _w/ where _w=–H dP/dz - W Mean velocity - W _b Bulk mean velocity through channel - y ⁺ yU /v.

Application of Rayleigh-Ritz method to forced convection turbulent heat transfer

An analytical model to predict heat transfer rates to an incompressible fluid in turbulent flow, with fully developed velocity profile, between a heated plate and a parallel, insulated plate is developed. The model employs van Driest's mixing length expression near the wall, a constant eddy diffusivitiy in the core and a constant turbulent Prandtl number. An approximate solution obtained by employing Rayleigh-Ritz method is shown to compare well with the exact solution obtained by numerical integration of the differential equations. The results are compared with the available experimental data and analytical solutions.

Streamwise pseudo-vortical structures and associated vorticity in the near-wall region of a wall-bounded turbulent shear flow

Streamwise pseudo-vortical motions near the wall in a fully-developed two-dimensional turbulent channel flow are clearly visualized in the plane perpendicular to the flow direction by a sophisticated hydrogen-bubble technique. This technique utilizes partially insulated fine wires, which generate hydrogen-bubble clusters at several distances from the wall. These flow visualizations also supply quantitative data on two instantaneous velocity components, and w, as well as the streamwise vorticity, _x . The vorticity field thus obtained shows quasi-periodicity in the spanwise direction and also a double-layer structure near the wall, both of which are qualitatively in good agreement with a pseudo-vortical motion model of the viscous wall-region.List of symbols C _i ,c _i ,d _i constants in Eqs.

Development characteristics of drag-reducing surfactant solution flow in a duct

Development characteristics of dilute cationic surfactant solution flow have been studied through the measurements of the time characteristics of surfactant solution by birefringence experiments and of the streamwise mean velocity profiles of surfactant solution duct flow by a laser Doppler velocimetry system. For both experiments, the concentration of cationic surfactant (oleylbishydroxymethylethylammonium chloride: Ethoquad O/12) was kept constant at 1000 ppm and the molar ratio of the counter ion of sodium salicylate to the surfactants was at 1.5. From the birefringence experiments, dilute surfactant solution shows very long retardation time corresponding to micellar shear induced structure formation. This causes very slow flow development of surfactant solution in a duct. Even at the end of the test section with the distance of 112 times of hydraulic diameter form the inlet, the flow is not fully developed but still has the developing boundary layer characteristics on the duct wall. From the time characteristics and the boundary layer development, it is concluded that the entry length of 1000 to 2000 times hydraulic diameter is required for fully developed surfactant solution flow.List of abbreviations and symbols A₁, A₂ Coefficients for time constant fitting [-] - B Breadth of the test duct [m] - C₁, C₂ Coefficients for time constant fitting [-] - D Pipe diameter [m] - D_H Hydraulic diameter [m] - g Impulse response function [Pa] - H Width of the test duct [m] - n Index of Bird-Carreau model [-] - Re Reynolds number (=U_mD_H/) - Re_D Pipe Reynolds number (=U_mD/) - Re_x Streamwise distance Reynolds number (=U₀x/) - T Absolute temperature [K] - t Time [s] - t_a Retardation time [s] - t_b Build-up time [s] - t_x Relaxation time [s] - t_x1, t_x2 Relaxation time for double time constant fitting [s] - t Time constant in Bird-Carreau model [s] - U Time mean velocity [m/s] - U_m Bulk mean velocity [m/s] - U_max Maximum velocity in a pipe [m/s] - U₀ Main flow velocity [m/s] - u Friction velocity [m/s] - x, y Coordinates [m] - Shear rate [s^–1] - Mean shear rate [s^–1] - n Birefringence [-] - 99% boundary layer thickness [m] - Solution viscosity [Pa·s] - _P, _S Surfactant and solvent viscosity [Pa·s] - ₀, Zero and infinite viscosity of Bird-Carreau model [Pa·s] - Characteristic time in Maxwell model [s] - Water kinematic viscosity [m²/s] - Density [kg/m³] - Solution shear stress [Pa] - _P, _S Surfactant and solvent shear stress [Pa] - Time in convolution [s]

Image processing of hydrogen bubble flow visualization for determination of turbulence statistics and bursting characteristics

A technique is described which employs automated image processing of hydrogen-bubble flow visualization pictures to establish local, instantaneous velocity profile information. Hydrogen bubble flow visualization sequences are recorded using a high-speed video system and then digitized, stored, and evaluated by a VAX 11/780 computer. Employing special smoothing and gradient detection algorithms, individual bubble-lines are computer identified, which allows local velocity profiles to be constructed using time-of-flight techniques. It is demonstrated how this techniques may be used to 1) determine local velocity behavior as a function of position and time, 2) evaluate time-averaged turbulence properties, and 3) correlate probe-type turbulent burst detection techniques with the corresponding visualization data.List of symbols Re Reynolds number based on momentum thickness, u / - t ⁺ nondimensional time tu ² / - T VITA variance averaging time period - u shear velocity = - u local instantaneous streamwise velocity,x-direction - u local fluctuating streamwise velocity,x-direction - u ⁺ nondimensional streamwise velocity, /u - local normal velocity,y-direction - w local spanwise velocity,z-direction - x ⁺ nondimensional coordinate in streamwise direction xu /v - y ⁺ nondimensional coordinate normal to wall, yu /v Greek momentum thickness, - kinematic viscosity - _w wall shear stress This paper was presented at the Ninth Symposium on Turbulence, University of Missouri-Rolla, October 1–3, 1984

Conclusions The extensions of Trostel's solutions derived in this paper may be employed tor general over wide conditions with a resulting error less than 3%, the stress values being too small in magnitude by this amount. The error decreases as the variation of physical properties of the media decreases or as 1/2. M. M. Stanii, Lectures in Mathematical Elasticity during summer semester 1958, Purdue University.
