Laminar boundary layer in a swirling flow

The spatial non-self-similar boundary layer in a compressible gas in a swirling flow is studied. Boundary-layer equations are written in variables ensuring constancy of the coefficients of first derivatives and are solved by the finite-difference method. Boundary-layer peculiarities in the presence of a return circulation region in the channel are clarified.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 43–49, January–February, 1976.     

Calculation of supersonic air flow about blunt bodies with account for equilibrium physicochemical transformations

Air flow with separated shock wave about blunt axisymmetric bodies with a smooth contour is considered on the assumption of equilibrium of the physicochemical transformations. The method of Telenin [1] is used to calculate the flow in the subsonic and transonic regions.     

Laminar boundary layer with uniform suction on flat plate in oscillating flow

We examine unsteady incompressible fluid flow in a laminar boundary layer with uniform suction for longitudinal flow over a flat plate when the external stream is a flow with constant velocity, on which there is superposed a sinusoidal disturbance convected by the stream, analogous to [1]. We study the stability of such flow in the boundary layer.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, Vol. 11, No. 3, pp. 66–70, May–June, 1970.     

Method of mean-mass parameters for a three-dimensional boundary layer in a flow with vorticity

When a gas flows with hypersonic velocity over a slender blunt body, the bow shock induces large entropy gradients and vorticity near the wall in the disturbed flow region (in the high-entropy layer) [1]. The boundary layer on the body develops in an essentially inhomogeneous inviscid flow, so that it is necessary to take into account the difference between the values of the gas parameters on the outer edge of the boundary layer and their values on the wall in the inviscid flow. This vortex interaction is usually accompanied by a growth in the frictional stress and heat flux at the wall [2, 3]. In three-dimensional flows in which the spreading of the gas on the windward sections of the body causes the high-entropy layer to become narrower, the vortex interaction can be expected to be particularly important. The first investigations in this direction [4–6] studied the attachment lines of a three-dimensional boundary layer. The method proposed in the present paper for calculating the heat transfer generalizes the approach realized in [5] for the attachment lines and makes it possible to take into account this effect on the complete surface of a blunt body for three-dimensional laminar, transition, or turbulent flow regime in the boundary layer.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 80–87, January–February, 1981.     

Three-dimensional supersonic flow past blunt bodies with contour discontinuities,with account for equilibrium and frozen state of the gas in the shock layer

An algorithm is devised for calculating by the finite difference method the supersonic flow region for three-dimensional steady-state flow of a viscous gas past a blunted body with many contour discontinuities. The state of this gas at high hypersonic flight speeds can be characterized by equilibrium or frozen physicochemical processes. Generally speaking, any arbitrary number and sequence of either compression or expansion discontinuities is permitted. The computational scheme adopted provides identification of the vortex layers, regions with different equations of state, and so on. We use a flow model that is either frozen throughout the entire shock layer or only in the portion of the layer adjacent to the body surface. The pressure at certain points on the surface of spherically blunted cones with half-angles θ?10° may differ by a factor of 2 or more in equilibrium and frozen flows. Example calculations are presented, and the results are analyzed.     

Laminar boundary layer in axisymmetric swirling ducted gas flow

Several studies have been published [1–3] in which the authors solve the problem of the laminar boundary layer in an incompressible fluid on the walls of an axisymmetric duct in the presence of swirl in the outer flow. In [3], Loitsyanskii's parametric method of [4, 5], generalized to the case of three-dimensional flow, is used to solve this problem.In this article the parametric method for integrating the universal equations is extended to the solution of the problem of the laminar boundary layer on the wall of an axisymmetric channel in the case of swirling gas flow.     

Laminar boundary layer in a swirling flow on a permeable surface

Numerical and approximate analytic methods are used to investigate the three-dimensional nonself-similar swirling flow of a uniform gas on an axisymmetric permeable surface. For large values of the injection parameter (in the general case the injection velocity vector forms a nonzero angle with the vector of the outward normal to the flow surface) asymptotic expressions are obtained for the velocity and temperature profiles across the injection layer, the components of the friction stress and the heat flux at the surface. Certain results of a numerical solution of the problem obtained on a broad interval of variation of the injection parameter are presented. By comparing the numerical and asymptotic solutions the accuracy and region of applicability of the latter are estimated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 28–37, November–December, 1985.In conclusion, the author wishes to thank É.

根据可压缩黏性稳定性理论研究了壁面冷却和抽吸对超音速、高超音速三维边界层的层流控制作用.数值结果证明壁面冷却对第一模式起稳定作用,对第二模式有不稳定作用;壁面抽吸对第一、二模式都起稳定作用;直到Me＝7,导致绝热壁边界层转捩的始终是第一模式,Me≥6的冷却壁边界层则是第二模式对转捩起主导作用.壁面冷却能够推迟边界层转捩,但是和二维边界层相比壁面冷却对高速三维边界层的层流控制作用是很有限的.     

Laminar boundary layer in an equilibrium dissociated gas for arbitrary external velocity distribution

The development of machine computing technology permits calculating the boundary layer by direct numerical integration of the corresponding system of partial differential equations [1, 2]. In order to derive general conclusions concerning the boundary layer with a pressure gradient we must perform the integration for each concrete form of velocity specification at the outer edge of the boundary layer. The method of calculating the boundary layer used in the present study [3], based on the solution of a universal (independent of the specification of the velocity at the outer edge of the boundary layer) system of equations, permits the clarification of several general relationships.     

Laminar boundary layer in flow of a nonequilibrium ionized gas

The motion of a hypersonic body is accompanied by an increase in the gas temperature in the boundary layer up to tens of thousands of degrees, which causes the gas to ionize. Under these conditions there are problems in calculating coefficients of viscosity, diffusion, and heat conduction. Investigations have shown that it is invalid to extrapolate the widely used approximations for transport coefficients in the high temperature region [1–3]. This paper considers the laminar boundary layer in the vicinity of the stagnation point of a blunt body in a stream of monatomic nonequilibrium ionized gas. The main thrust is a more accurate calculation of transport coefficients and an investigation of their effect on profiles of the gasdynamic parameters. A specific calculation is performed for argon by way of example.     

Laminar boundary layer in a flow past an aerofoil with a circular cavity

The paper describes a numerical study of a method of preventing the separation of a laminar boundary layer from the forward section of a symmetric aerofoil, the flow past which does not separate at zero angle of incidence. In order to increase the maximum angle of incidence at which the flow has still not separated, a circular cavity (vortex cell) located almost completely inside the aerofoil is introduced on the segment vulnerable to separation. The asymptotics of the corresponding flow at high Reynolds number are described using the Prandtl-Batchelor model. Krasnodar.

Laminar boundary layer on an oscillating wedge

A study is made of the nonstationary laminar boundary layer on a sharp wedge over which a compressible perfect gas flows; the wedge executes slow harmonic oscillations about its front point. It is assumed that the perturbations due to the oscillations are small, and the problem is solved in the linear approximation. It is also assumed that the thickness of the boundary layer is small compared with the thickness of the complete perturbed region. Then in a first approximation the influence of the boundary layer on the exterior inviscid flow can be ignored, and the parameters on the outer boundary of the boundary layer can be taken equal to their values on the body for the case of inviscid flow over the wedge. They are determined from the solution to the inviscid problem that is exact in the framework of the linear formulation. The wall is assumed to be isothermal. The dependence of the viscosity on the temperature is linear. Under these assumptions, the problem of calculating the nonstationary perturbations in the boundary layer on the wedge is a self-similar problem.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 146–151, July–August, 1980.
