网格湍流对剪切层中预混火焰结构的影响

本文研究网格湍流对射流剪切层以及建立在其中的预混火焰的影响。利用热线风速仪测量射流的速度场,发现网格湍流使剪切层内湍流强度明显降低,抑制了低频速度脉动,同时增加了湍动能在小尺度脉动上的分配,使湍流更趋于各向同性,这表明网格湍流抑制了剪切层内的大涡和拟序结构。用细丝热电偶测量了火焰温度,结果显示网格湍流使火焰前峰的低频大幅摆动减少,小尺度皱褶增加,火焰区平均温度更高,说明网格湍流有利于剪切层中预混火焰的强化和稳定。

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.     

Effects of single synthetic jet on turbulent boundary layer

The turbulent boundary layer (TBL) is actively controlled by the synthetic jet generated from a circular hole. According to the datasets of velocity fields acquired by a time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV) system, the average drag reduction rate of 6.2% in the downstream direction of the hole is obtained with control. The results of phase averaging show that the synthetic jet generates one vortex pair each period and the consequent vortex evolves into hairpin vortex in the environment with free-stream, while the reverse vortex decays rapidly. From the statistical average, it can be found that a low-speed streak is generated downstream. Induced by the two vortex legs, the fluid under them converges to the middle. The drag reduction effect produced by the synthetic jet is local, and it reaches a maximum value at x⁺=400, where the drag reduction rate reaches about 12.2%. After the extraction of coherent structure from the spatial two-point correlation analysis, it can be seen that the synthetic jet suppresses the streamwise scale and wall-normal scale of the large scale coherent structure, and slightly weakens the spanwise motion to achieve the effect of drag reduction.     

Evolution of three-dimensional coherent structures in compressible axisymmetric jet

A high order difference scheme is used to simulate the spatially developing compressible axisymmetric jet. The results show that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability appears first when the jet loses its stability, and then with development of jet the increase in nonlinear effects leads to the secondary instability and the formation of the streamwise vortices. The evolution of the three-dimensional coherent structure is presented. The computed results verify that in axisymmetric jet the secondary instability and formation of the streamwise vortices are the important physical mechanism of enhancing the flow mixing and transition occurring.     

Visualization of the vortical structure of a circular jet excited by axial and azimuthal perturbations

The vortical structure of a circular water jet was investigated by a flow visualization technique. The jet was excited by axial and azimuthal perturbations to stabilize and enhance the large-scale axisymmetric and streamwise vortices. A laser fluorescent dye and a laser light sheet were used to visualize the vortical structure, and the whole view of the structure was captured by applying the Taylor hypothesis to the cross-sectional images and by scanning a laser light sheet in the streamwise direction. The visualized images reveal the details of the complicated structure of axisymmetric and streamwise vortices, and it is confirmed that the streamwise vortices have fundamental effect on the entrainment of ambient fluid. From the images, the length of jet boundary was calculated to estimate the mixing effect. The result suggests that the jet mixing is significantly increased by the break-down of the vortices enhanced by axial and azimuthal perturbations. We also discussed the jet diffusion effect in consideration of the jet widths obtained by velocity measurement. The result indicates that the vortical structure including streamwise vortices plays an important role to enhance diffusion.     

A numerical study on the formation of diffusion flame islands in a turbulent hydrogen jet lifted flame

This paper presents a numerical study on the formation of diffusion flame islands in a hydrogen jet lifted flame. A real size hydrogen jet lifted flame is numerically simulated by the DNS approach over a period of about 0.5 ms. The diameter of hydrogen injector is 2 mm, and the injection velocity is 680 m/s. The lifted flame is composed of a stable leading edge flame, a vigorously turbulent inner rich premixed flame, and a number of outer diffusion flame islands. The relatively long-term observation makes it possible to understand in detail the time-dependent flame behavior in rather large time scales, which are as large as the time scale of the leading edge flame unsteadiness. From the observation, the following three findings are obtained concerning the formation of diffusion flame islands. (1) A thin oxygen diffusion layer is developed along the outer boundary of the lifted flame, where the diffusion flame islands burn in a rather flat shape. (2) When a diffusion flame island comes into contact with the fluctuating inner rich premixed flame, combustion is intensified due to an increase in the hydrogen supply by molecular diffusion. This process also works for the production of the diffusion flame islands in the oxygen diffusion layer. (3) When a large unburned gas volume penetrates into the leading edge flame, the structure of the leading edge flame changes. In this transformation process, a diffusion flame island comes near the leading edge flame. The local deficiency of oxygen plays an important role in this production process.     

Vortex dynamics and entrainment mechanisms in low Reynolds orifice jets

Classical planar 2D-PIV measurements and time-resolved visualizations enriched by low-level processing are used for the reconstruction of the Kelvin-Helmholtz vortex passing in the near field of a circular and a 6-lobed orifice jet flow. In the circular jet, the entrainment is produced in the braid region, being interrupted in the presence of the Kelvin-Helmholtz ring. The latter compresses the streamwise vortices and alters their self-induction role. Conversely, the 6-lobed orifice geometry allows the cutting of the Kelvin-Helmholtz structures into discontinuous ring segments. Consequently, into these discontinuity regions streamwise large scale structures are developing. These streamwise structures are permanent thus controlling and enhancing the jet entrainment which is not altered by the Kelvin-Helmholtz structures passing.
