PIV速度场坏矢量的本征正交分解处理技术

介绍了一种针对粒子图像测速(PIV)基于本征正交分解(POD)的速度场后处理技术.该技术改变了现在后处理技术将速度场坏矢量识别和修正分开实现的局面,通过迭代方法有效地实现了速度场坏点统一的识别和修复算法.算法利用POD分解的低阶模态信息重构出可以用于坏矢量识别的参考速度场,利用该参考速度场对全流场进行坏点识别并完成修正.通过对一套光滑的PIV速度场数据引入高斯分布的随机误差,测试验证了该POD方法的优越性.在坏矢量识别方面新方法较归一化中值检验有更高的正确性,能识别大面积出现的坏矢量区域.在坏矢量修补的插值算法中,新方法的计算效率又高于传统Gappy POD方法,且计算精度优于常见的矢量场内插数学方法.特别是在数据缺失的大连通区域,该方法对物理流场有很好的预测效果.

Phase-resolved characterization of vortex shedding in the near wake of a square-section cylinder at incidence

The vortex formation and shedding process in the near wake region of a 2D square-section cylinder at incidence has been investigated by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV). Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is used to characterize the coherent large-scale flow unsteadiness that is associated with the wake vortex shedding process. A particular application of the POD analysis is to extract the vortex-shedding phase of individual velocity fields, which were acquired at asynchronous low rate with respect to the vortex shedding cycle. The phase of an individual flow field is determined from its projection on the first pair of POD modes, allowing phase averaging of the measurement data to be performed. In addition, a low-order representation of the flow, constructed from the mean and the first pair of POD modes, is found to be practically equivalent to the phase-averaged results. It is shown that this low-order representation corresponds to the basic Fourier component of the flow field ensemble with respect to the reconstructed phase. The phase-averaged flow representations reveal the dominant flow features of the vortex-shedding process and the effect of the angle of incidence upon it.     

Experimental study of heat flux in mixed convective flow over solid waves

In this experimental study, we address transport processes in a mixed convective flow over a heated wavy surface. Therefore, we combine digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) and two-color planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) to simultaneously measure the velocity and temperature field. For this, we propose to use the dye combination Rhodamine B and Rhodamine 110, both excited with the Nd:YAG laser also used for the PIV measurements. We investigate the influence of mixed convection over a wavy surface on the velocity field, turbulence statistics, the temperature field and the heat flux. By computing these quantities we find a correlation between the maximum in the Reynolds stress profiles and the components of the heat flux vector, thus regions of maximum momentum and scalar transport coincide. In addition, we apply a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to extract the most dominant flow structures in a measurement plane above the wavy surface. This first POD mode is identified as streamwise-oriented, counter-rotating vortices whose spanwise scaling is also correlated with the maximum of heat flux.     

An experimental investigation into the effect of vortex generators on the near-wake flow of a circular cylinder

The effect of the streamwise vortex generators on the near-wake flow structure of a circular cylinder was experimentally investigated. Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) measurements were performed in a large circulating water tunnel facility at a Reynolds number of 41,300 where the flow around a bare cylinder was expected to be at the sub-critical flow state. In order to capture various flow properties and to provide a detailed wake flow topology, the DPIV images were analysed with three different but complementary flow field decomposition techniques which are Reynolds averaging, phase averaging and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The effect of the vortex generators was clearly demonstrated both in qualitative and in quantitative manner. Various topological features such as vorticity and stress distribution of the flow fields as well as many other key flow characteristics including the length scales and the Strouhal number were discussed in the study. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the study presents the first DPIV visualization of the near-wake flow of a circular cylinder fitted with the vortex generators in the open literature.     

Uncovering large-scale coherent structures in natural and forced turbulent wakes by combining PIV,POD, and FTLE

Planar velocity data of the unsteady separated flow in the turbulent wake of a circular cylinder obtained by particle image velocimetry (PIV) are analyzed in order to visualize the large-scale coherent structures associated with alternating vortex shedding at a Reynolds number of 2,150. Two different cases are examined: unforced vortex shedding in the natural wake and vortex lock-on incited by forced perturbations superimposed in the inflow velocity. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is employed to reconstruct the low-order wake dynamics from randomly sampled snapshots of the velocity field. The reconstructed flow is subsequently used to determine the evolution of the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) fields which identify the Lagrangian coherent structures. The results demonstrate that the combination of methods employed offers a powerful visualization tool to uncover large-scale coherent structures and to exemplify vortex dynamics in natural and forced bluff-body wakes.     

Experimental study of low precessing frequencies in the wake of a turbulent annular jet

This paper investigates the flow structure in the wake behind the centrebody of an annular jet using time-resolved stereoscopic PIV measurements. Although the time-averaged flow field is symmetric, the instantaneous wake is asymmetric. It consists of a central toroidal vortex (CTV), which closes downstream at the stagnation point. This stagnation point lies off-axis and hence the axis of the CTV is tilted with respect to the central axis of the geometry. The CTV precesses around the central axis, corresponding to a Strouhal number of 2.5 × 10⁻³. The phase averaging technique is used to study this large-scale motion as it can separate the precession from the turbulence in the flow field. It is found that the precession creates a highly three-dimensional flow field and for instance near the stagnation point, up to 45% of the rms velocity fluctuations are attributed to it.     

Application of PIV to velocity measurements in a liquid film flowing down an inclined cylinder

PIV technique is applied for measurements of instant velocity distributions in a liquid film flowing down an inclined tube in the form of a wavy rivulet. An application of special optical calibration is applied to correct distortion effects caused by the curvature of the interface. A vortex flow of liquid is observed inside a wave hump in the reference system moving with wave phase velocity. Conditionally averaged profiles of longitudinal and transverse components of liquid velocity are obtained for different cross-sections of developed non-linear waves. It is shown that the increase in wave amplitude slightly changes the location of the vortex center. The analysis of modification of vortex motion character due to wavy flow conditions, such as tube inclination angle, film Reynolds number, wave excitation frequency, is fulfilled.     

基于定常吹吸气的波浪型圆柱主动控制研究

基于定常吹吸气对波浪型圆柱近尾迹流动进行控制以增强柱体振动, 采用大涡模拟研究了亚临界雷诺数(Re = 3000)下前吹后吸和前后吸气控制方式在不同吹吸气工况对波浪型圆柱升阻力特性、时均压力系数、环量、湍动能及近尾迹流动结构的影响. 研究发现: 前吹后吸和前后吸气控制下波浪型圆柱在不同吹吸气动量系数工况脉动升力系数均显著提高, 最大较未受控直圆柱和波浪型圆柱分别提升高达636%和391%, 这主要可能归因于吹吸气控制使波浪型圆柱回流区变短, 高强度涡集中向钝体后方靠拢, 旋涡形成长度缩短, 展向涡流与顺流向涡流相互作用在波浪型圆柱下游形成的“肋状涡”变大变长, 近尾迹环量显著增大, 从而导致脉动升力系数增大, 这可能将诱导柱体产生更强的振动; 同时两种控制方式均改变了波浪型圆柱表面的压力分布, 由于在波浪型圆柱前驻点吹气使前端趋于流线型, 前吹后吸在不同吹吸气动量系数下波浪型圆柱的高压区减小, 但在后驻点吸气使得低压区增大, 而前后吸气在不同吹吸气动量系数下波浪型圆柱的高压区基本不变, 低压区增大. 研究结果可为低风速地区分布式风力俘能结构俘能效率提升提供基础理论支持.      

The ultrasonic velocity profile measurement of flow structure in the near field of a square free jet

 Coherent structures in the near field of a three-dimensional jet have been investigated. Experiments were carried out for a free jet issuing from a square nozzle using a water channel. Instantaneous velocity profiles were obtained in the axial and radial directions by using an ultrasonic velocity profile (UVP) monitor. Axial variations of dominant time-scales of vortex structures were examined from one-dimensional wavelet spectra. Wavenumber-frequency spectra were calculated by two-dimensional Fourier transform along the axial direction in a mixing layer, and it was found that a convective velocity of flow structures was nearly constant independently of their scales in space and time. Coherent structures in the axial direction were investigated in terms of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). Eigenfunctions are similar to a sinusoidal wave, and reconstructed velocity fields by the lower-order and higher-order POD modes demonstrate large-scale and smaller-scale coherent structures, respectively.
