Influence of nose perturbations on behaviors of asymmetric vortices over slender body

The influence of nose perturbations on the behaviors of asymmetric vortices over a slender body with a three-caliber ogive nose is studied in this paper. The tests of a nose-disturbed slender body with surface pressure measurement were conducted at a low speed wind tunnel with subcritical Reynolds number of 1×10⁵ at angle of attack α=50°. The experiment results show that the behaviors and structure of asymmetric vortices over the slender body are mainly controlled by manual perturbation on the nose of body as compared with geometrical minute irregularities on the test model from the machining tolerances. The effect of the perturbation axial location on asymmetric vortices is the strongest if its location is near the model apex. There are four sensitive circumferential locations of manual perturbation at which bistable vortices over the slender body are switched by the perturbation. The flowfield near the reattachment line of lee side is more sensitive to the perturbation, because the saddle point to saddle point topological structure in this reattachment flowfield is unstable. Various types of perturbation do not change the perturbation effect on the behaviors of bistable asymmetric vortices.

Asymmetric vortices flow over slender body and its active control at high angle of attack

The studies of asymmetric vortices flow over slender body and its active control at high angles of attack have significant importance for both academic field and engineering area. This paper attempts to provide an update state of art to the investigations on the fields of forebody asymmetric vortices. This review emphasizes the correlation between micro-perturbation on the model nose and its response and evolution behaviors of the asymmetric vortices. The critical issues are discussed, which include the formation and evolution mechanism of asymmetric multi-vortices; main behaviors of asymmetric vortices flow including its deterministic feature and vortices flow structure; the evolution and development of asymmetric vortices under the perturbation on the model nose; forebody vortex active control especially discussed micro-perturbation active control concept and technique in more detail. However present understanding in this area is still very limited and this paper tries to identify the key unknown problems in the concluding remarks.

An inviscid/viscous coupling approach for vortex flow field calculations

A new computational approach is developed for the analysis of vortex-dominated flow fields around highly swept wings at high angles of attack. In this approach an inviscid Euler technology is coupled with viscous models, similar to inviscid/boundary layer coupling. The viscous nature of the vortex core is represented by an algebraic model derived from the Navier–Stokes equations. The approach also accounts for the effects of the viscous shear layer near a wing surface through a modified surface boundary condition. The inviscid/viscous coupling consistently provides improved predictions of leading edge separation, vortex bursting and secondary vortex formation at relatively low computational cost. Results for several cases are compared with wind tunnel tests and other Euler and Navier-Stokes solutions.     

Effects of tip perturbation and wing locations on rolling oscillation induced by forebody vortices

The wing rock motion is frequently suffered by a wing-body configuration with low swept wing at high angle of attack. It is found from our experimental study that the tip perturbation and wing longitudinal locations affect significantly the wing rock motion of a wing-body. The natural tip perturbation would make the wing rock motion of a nondeterministic nature and an artificial mini-tip perturbation would make the wing rock motion deterministic. The artificial tip perturbation would, as its circumferential location is varied, generate three different types of motion patterns： （1） limit cycle oscillation, （2） irregular oscillation, （3） equilibrium state with tiny oscillation. The amplitude of rolling oscillation corresponding to the limit cycle oscillatory motion pattern is decreased with the wing location shifting downstream along the body axis.     

Reynolds数对大攻角细长旋成体绕流滚转角效应影响的数值研究

使用低耗散的Roe格式,数值模拟了Reynolds数(Re)对大攻角细长旋成体绕流滚转角效应的影响.模型头部加了几何小扰动块以引发流场的不对称.在较大的Re数(Re=10 5)下,本文的计算结果与实验是相符的,此时细长体的滚转会导致双稳态、双周期现象,即侧向力随滚转角呈现类似方波形式的双周期变化,方波中侧向力基本保持不变的状态对应于流场的正则态,且两个正则态的侧向力方向相反,方波中侧向力基本保持不变的状态对应于流场的正则态,且两个正则态的侧向力方向相反;而在较小的Re数(Re=4 000)下,如果扰动足够大,细长体的滚转将导致不同的双稳态现象,此时两个正则态的侧向力方向相同,而在较小扰动下双稳态现象不再出现;Re数更小时(Re=1 000),即使在较大的扰动下,双稳态现象也不再出现,侧向力随滚动角仍是连续变化的.本文的计算结果表明,Re数越小,流场对头部扰动的感受性越弱.     

Numerical study of vortex-breakdown over a slender wing in transonic flow at high incidence

The transonic flowfields and vortex-breakdown over a slender wing with the angle of attack from 10° to 28° are studied numerically, and the emphasis is on the secondary separation and the charateristics of vortex-breakdown. The results indicated that: (a) TVD schemes have strong capability for capturing vortices in three-dimensional transonic separated flow at large angle of attack. (b) The development of secondary vortices is more complex than that of leading-edge ones, and is affected by wing's configuration, angle of attack and compressibility simultaneously, and the effect of compressibility is more severe at low angle of attack. (c) The starting angle of attack for vortex-breakdown (when vortex bursting point crosses trailing-edge) is about 18° forM∞=0.85, then the bursting point moves upstream quickly with increasing angle of attack. (d) At α=24°, breakdown occurs over most part of upper side, and the wing begins to stall. Therefore, there is a large lag of angle of attack between the beginning of vortex-breakdown and the stall of the wing. (e) This lag increase with the decreasing of Mach number.

Numerical study of the wall effect on particle sedimentation

ABSTRACT

In this article, we investigate the abnormal settling of two-disk systems and elliptical shaped particles in infinite two-dimensional channels filled with an incompressible viscous fluid. We apply a distributed Lagrange multiplier/fictitious domain method (DLM/FDM) for the direct numerical simulation of these particulate flows. Due to the wall effect, the two-disk systems can form chains which settle stably instead of having the particles moving apart. Also, sedimentation with the long axis moving to vertical positions in the middle of the infinite channel has been observed for the elliptic shaped particles. The critical Reynolds number for having such an abnormal settling behaviour decreases as the width of the channel increases.

Input-output reduced-order modeling of unsteady flow over an airfoil at a high angle of attack based on dynamic mode decomposition with control

Due to the damage caused by stall flutter, the investigation and modeling of the flow over a wind turbine airfoil at high angles of attack are essential. Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) and dynamic mode decomposition with control (DMDc) are used to analyze unsteady flow and identify the intrinsic dynamics. The DMDc algorithm is found to have an identification problem when the spatial dimension of the training data is larger than the number of snapshots. IDMDc, a variant algorithm based on reduced dimension data, is introduced to identify the precise intrinsic dynamics. DMD, DMDc and IDMDc are all used to decompose the data for unsteady flow over the S809 airfoil that are obtained by numerical simulations. The DMD results show that the dominant feature of a static airfoil is the adjacent shedding vortices in the wake. For an oscillating airfoil, the DMDc results may fail to consider the effect of the input and have an identification problem. IDMDc can alleviate this problem. The dominant IDMDc modes show that the intrinsic flow for the oscillating case is similar to the unsteady flow over the static airfoil. Moreover, the input–output model identified by IDMDc can give better predictions for different oscillating cases than the identified DMDc model.

Experimental investigation on the aerodynamic behavior of square cylinders with rounded corners

The influence of corner shaping on the aerodynamic behavior of square cylinders is studied through wind tunnel tests. Beside the sharp-edge corner condition considered as a benchmark, two different rounded-corner radii (r/b=1/15 and 2/15) are studied. Global forces and surface pressure are simultaneously measured in the Reynolds number range between 1.7×10⁴ and 2.3×10⁵. The measurements are extended to angles of incidence between 0° and 45°, but the analysis and the discussion presented herein is focused on the low angle of incidence range. It is found that the critical angle of incidence, corresponding to the flow reattachment on the lateral face exposed to the flow, decreases as r/b increases and that an intermittent flow condition exists. In the case of turbulent incoming flow, two different aerodynamic regimes governed by the Reynolds number have been recognized.     

Study of the aerodynamic characteristics of cone-sphere models in a hypersonic flow

The aerodynamic characteristics of cone-sphere models are studied at Mach numbers M = 6, 8.4, and 12 to 13 over a wide Reynolds number range. Models of a braking device (sphere) were connected with a load (frustum of a cone) by means of shrouds. The dependences of the aerodynamic coefficients C _x and C _y on the angle of attack α were obtained for different relative dimensions of the load and the braking device, shroud lengths, and Mach and Reynolds numbers. The effect of the above-mentioned parameters on the aerodynamic characteristics of the models is analyzed. The C _x (Re_D) dependences of load-parachutemodels in a symmetric flow are determined over the wide Mach and Reynolds number ranges 6 ≤ M ≤ 13 and 3 · 10³ ≤ Re_D ≤ 3 · 10⁶.

Effects of aspect ratio and orientation on the wake characteristics of low Reynolds number flow over a triangular prism

The wake characteristics of unconfined flows over triangular prisms of different aspect ratios have been numerically analysed in the present work. For this purpose, a fixed Cartesian-grid based numerical technique that involves the porous medium approach to mimic the effect of solid blockage has been utilised. Correspondingly, laminar flow simulations ranging from the sub-critical regime (before the onset of vortex shedding) to the super-critical regime have been considered here within the limits of two-dimensionality. In the sub-critical regime, correlations relating the wake bubble length with Reynolds number (Re) have been proposed for various aspect ratios. Also, the effects of aspect ratio and Reynolds Number on the drag force coefficient (C_D) have been characterised for two different geometrical orientations of the prism (base or apex facing the flow). Subsequently, the critical Reynolds number at the onset of vortex shedding has been predicted for each of the aspect ratio considered, by an extrapolation procedure. The unsteady flow characteristics of the super-critical regime are finally highlighted for different aspect ratios and triangular orientations considered in the study.
