不定原点喷嘴射流中流体物理的实验研究

为了能够更好地了解不定源喷嘴(indeterminate origin nozzle)射流中的物理过程,本文应用平面激光诱导荧光技术对一个大尺度的水射流进行了实验研究.流场显示的实验结果表明不定源喷嘴在射流的剪切层引入了蘑菇形反向旋转的涡对.这些涡的矢量方向与射流方向相同或相反,被称为流向涡(streamwise vortex).由于射流中存在开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定,每当一个横向涡(spanwise vortex,即涡的矢量方向与射流方向垂直)从喷嘴脱流时会产生瞬时的低压,该瞬时低压促使向内发展的流向涡对在喷嘴的凹槽处生成.这些涡对在向下游流动的过程中会重组并在喷嘴的尖峰面生成向外发展的涡对.这些流向涡极大地影响了射流的发展.流向涡与横向涡的相互作用促使射流更早地发展成为湍流.由于流向涡同时也在射流中引入了径向的剪切流动,因此导致了更多的湍流生成从而增强了射流与周围流体的混合.

采用大涡模拟方法数值模拟了展向椭圆喷嘴的湍流横向射流,对其大尺度结构的时空演化和湍流脉动速度场的时间序列分析、频谱分析、PDF分析以及时、空截面上的统计平均特性进行分析.结果表明,在射流出口附近的下游核心区中速度脉动剧烈,显现出明显的湍流特征.除了三维涡环脱落、扭曲、变形、摆动所对应频率之外,还存在很宽的湍流基频,它与在喷嘴出口附近产生的三维涡环的时空演化过程密切相关.由于展向椭圆喷嘴的湍流横向射流中的三维涡环快速脱落和强相互作用导致射流尾迹中的强湍流脉动,展向椭圆喷嘴湍流横向射流的PDF空间演化特征结构复杂.在射流核心区的湍流偏应力变化平缓,其统计平均值分布接近左右对称.展向椭圆喷嘴的湍流横向射流脉动速度场具有极为复杂的统计行为,与流向椭圆喷嘴相比具有更好的掺混能力.

Direct Numerical Simulation of a Square Jet Ejected Transversely into an Accelerating, Laminar Main Flow

A numerical simulation of a square jet ejected transversely into a laminar boundary-layer flow was performed at a jet-to-main-flow velocity ratio of 9.78 and jet Reynolds number of 6330. The jet consisted of a single pulse with a duration equal to the time required for the jet fluid to travel 173 jet widths. A strongly-favourable streamwise pressure gradient was applied to the boundary layer and produced a freestream acceleration that is above the typical threshold required for relaminarization. The results of the simulation illustrate the effect of the favourable streamwise pressure gradient on the flowfield created by the transverse jet. Notably, the horseshoe vortex system created upwind of the jet remains steady in time and does not induce noticeable fluctuations in the jet flow. The upwind and downwind shear layers of the jet roll-up through a Kelvin–Helmholtz-like instability into discrete shear-layer vortices. Jet vorticity in the upwind and downwind shear layers accumulates near the corners of the jet and produces two sets of vortex pairs, the former of which couple with the shear-layer vortices to produce large, counter-rotating vortices in the freestream, while the latter are unstable and periodically produce hairpin vortices in the main-flow boundary layer and elongated vortices in the freestream behind the jet. The departure of the jet flowfield from the vortical structures typically observed in transverse jets illustrates the substantive effect of the favourable streamwise pressure gradient on the flowfield created by the jet.     

Effect of Streamline Curvature on Intensity of Streamwise Vortices in the Mixing Layer of Supersonic Jets

The structure of supersonic nonisobaric jets with Mach numbers M_a = 1 and 2 is considered experimentally to find the effect of streamline curvature on the evolution of streamwise vortices in the mixing layer. The spatial development of steady streamwise vortices in the mixing layer of supersonic jets is considered. A method for generation of steady streamwise vortices by applying microroughness elements of controlled size onto the inner surface of the nozzle is developed. Radial profiles and azimuthal variations of total pressure are obtained; the mixinglayer thickness and the curvature of streamlines in supersonic jets are determined. A significant effect of microroughness elements of prescribed shape located on the nozzle surface on the behavior of total pressure in the mixing layer of supersonic jets, as compared to natural disturbances, is obtained.     

The effect of streamwise vortices on the turbulence structure of a separating boundary layer

A high Reynolds number flat plate turbulent boundary layer is investigated in a wind-tunnel experiment. The flow is subjected to an adverse pressure gradient which is strong enough to generate a weak separation bubble. This experimental study attempts to shed some new light on separation control by means of streamwise vortices with emphasize on the change in the boundary layer turbulence structure. In the present case, counter-rotating and initially non-equidistant streamwise vortices become and remain equidistant and confined within the boundary layer, contradictory to the prediction by inviscid theory. The viscous diffusion cause the vortices to grow, the swirling velocity component to decrease and the boundary layer to develop towards a two-dimensional state. At the position of the eliminated separation bubble the following changes in the turbulence structure were observed. The anisotropy state in the near-wall region is unchanged, which indicates that it is determined by the presence of the wall rather than the large scale vortices. However, the turbulence in the outer part of the boundary layer becomes overall more isotropic due to an increased wall-normal mixing and a significantly decreased production of streamwise fluctuations. The turbulent kinetic energy is decreased as a consequence of the latter. Despite the complete change in mean flow, the spatial turbulence structure and the anisotropy state, the process of transfer of turbulent kinetic energy to the spanwise fluctuating component seems to be unchanged. Local regions of anisotropy are strongly connected to maxima in the turbulent production. For example, at spanwise positions in between those of symmetry, the spanwise gradient of the streamwise velocity cause significant production of turbulent fluctuations. Transport of turbulence in the spanwise direction occurs in the same direction as the rotation of the vortices.     

Combination interaction of Taylor–Goertler vortices in a curved shear layer of a supersonic jet

Problems of origination and evolution of streamwise vortex structures in an initial region of the shear layer of a supersonic jet are discussed. Streamwise vortices are generated with the use of artificial microroughnesses on the internal surface of polished nozzles. Results of Pitot pressure distributions measured in a supersonic nonisobaric jet both in the radial and azimuthal directions are presented. Streamline curvature in the initial region of supersonic nonisobaric jets has a significant effect on evolution of streamwise vortex structures. Azimuthal heterogeneity corresponding to streamwise vortices in the shear layer is analyzed with the use of both the Fourier analysis and wavelet analysis. PACS 47.40.Ki, 47.20.Ft, 02.30.Nw     

The stability and development of tip and root vortices behind a model wind turbine

An inclined turbulent jet discharging a passive scalar into a turbulent crossflow is investigated under conditions of favorable, zero and adverse streamwise pressure gradient. Experiments are conducted in water by means of magnetic resonance velocimetry and magnetic resonance concentration measurements. The velocity ratio and density ratio are equal to one for all cases. The flow configuration is relevant to film cooling technology, the molecular properties of the fluid being immaterial in the fully turbulent regime. Under favorable pressure gradient (FPG), the streamwise acceleration tilts the jet trajectory toward the wall, which would be beneficial for the film cooling performance. However, the counter-rotating vortex pair is strengthened in the accelerating flow by streamwise stretching. Also, the crossflow boundary layer is significantly thickened by increasingly adverse pressure gradient, which affects the mass transfer from the jet. Overall, the more intense counter-rotating vortices and the thinner boundary layer associated with increasingly FPG enhance the scalar dispersion into the main flow, hampering the film cooling performance in terms of surface effectiveness.     

An inclined rectangular jet in a turbulent boundary layer-vortex flow

A model test study was performed on streamwise vortices generated by a rectangular jet in an otherwise flat-plate turbulent boundary layer. The study was conducted in a low speed wind tunnel. The rectangular jet had a cross-section size of 28 mm by 5.5 mm. The oncoming boundary layer had a 99.5 percent thickness of 25 mm. The freestream speed of the oncoming flow was 20 m/s. Measurements were performed with a three-element LDA system. The effects of skew angle and streamwise development of vortex were investigated and the mean flow properties are presented. The study showed that the rectangular jet was able to produce a streamwise vortex of higher strength than that of a round jet, while at the same time keeping the same size and shape as that of a round jet. A 63% increase in the maximum vorticity was found. The 45^∘ skew angle was identified as the optimal skew angle for vortex production. Received: 24 June 1998/ Accepted: 21 May 1999     

Numerical studies on evolution of secondary streamwise vortices in transitional boundary layers

Formation and evolution of secondary streamwise vortices in the compressible transitional boundary layers over a flat plate are studied using a direct numerical simulation method with high-order accuracy and highly effective non-reflecting characteristic boundary conditions. Generation and development processes of the secondary streamwise vortices in the complicated transitional boundary flow are clearly analyzed based on the of numerical results, and the effects on the formation of the ring-like vortex that is vital to the boundary layer transition are explored. A new mechanism forming the ring-like vortex through the mutual effect of the primary and secondary streamwise vortices is expressed.
