Near-wall model for boundary layer turbulence

The evolution of an intermittently created isolated three-dimensional turbulent eddy near a wall is followed in space and time on the assumption that its structure evolves on three separate time scales, a shear interaction one, a viscous one, and a nonlinear one. The large-time limit of the solution for the shear interaction stage shows many of the observed features of the near-wall turbulence structure such as the formation of shear layers, of streaks, and of streamwise vortices. It also provides initial conditions for the viscous and nonlinear stages showing viscous decay of convected structures and the possibility of a singularity in the nonlinear development. The eddy model is also used to construct a new model for the turbulent shear stress showing strong similarity to Prandtl's mixing-length model.

Transport of particles in an atmospheric turbulent boundary layer

A program incorporating the parallel code of large eddy simulation (LES) and particle transportation model is developed to simulate the motion of particles in an atmospheric turbulent boundary layer (ATBL). A model of particles of 100-micrometer order coupling with large scale ATBL is proposed. Two typical cases are studied, one focuses on the evolution of particle profile in the ATBL and the landing displacement of particles, whereas the other on the motion of particle stream.The English text was polished by Yunming Chen.     

Large eddy simulation in a turbulent channel flow using exit boundary conditions

The influence of the exit boundary conditions on the vanishing first derivative of the velocity components and constant pressure on the large eddy simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flow has been investigated for equidistant and stretched grids at the channel exit. Results show that the chosen exit boundary conditions introduce some small disturbances that are mostly damped by the grid stretching. The difference of rms values between the fully developed turbulent channel flow with periodicity conditions and the fully developed channel flow using inlet and the exit boundary conditions is less than 10% for the equidistant grids and less than 5% for the stretched grids. The chosen boundary conditions are of interest because they may be used in complex problems with back flow at the exit. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Large-eddy simulation of stratified channel flow

An investigation of large-eddy simulation (LES) for turbulent channel flow with buoyancy effects was performed by solving the resolved incompressible Navier-Stokes equations under the Boussinesq approximation. The Smagorinsky eddy-viscosity model and Yoshizawa eddy-viscosity model were used to describe the unresolved subgrid scale (SGS) fluctuations respectively. After some numerical testing, the latter was further simplified so that it can be used in the dynamic model closure. A LES code was developed for parallel computations by using the parallel technique, and was run on the Dawn-1000 parallel computer. To demonstrate the viability and accuracy of the code, our results are compared with and found in good agreement with available LES results.

The effect of particles on fluid turbulence in a turbulent boundary layer over a cylinder

The turbulent fluid and particle interaction in the turbulent boundary layer for cross flow over a cylinder has been experimentally studied. A phase-Doppler anemometer was used to measure the mean and fluctuating velocities of both phases. Two size ranges of particles (30μm–60μm and 80μm–150μm) at certain concentrations were used for considering the effects of particle sizes on the mean velocity profiles and on the turbulent intensity levels. The measurements clearly demonstrated that the larger particles damped fluid turbulence. For the smaller particles, this damping effect was less noticeable. The measurements further showed a delay in the separation point for two phase turbulent cross flow over a cylinder. The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

Nature of the surface heart transfer fluctuation in a hypersonic separated turbulent flow

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the unsteady nature of a hypersonic separated turbulent flow. The nomimal test conditions were a freestream Mach number of 7.8 and a unit Reynolds number of 3.5×10⁷/m. The separated flow was generated using finite span forward facing steps. An array of flush mounted high spatial resolution and fast response platinum film resistance thermometers was used to make multi-channel measurements of the fluctuating surface heat trtansfer within the separated flow. Conditional sampling analysis of the signals shows that the root of separation shock wave consists of a series of compression wave extending over a streamwise length about one half of the incoming boundary layer thickness. The compression waves converge into a single leading shock beyond the boundary layer. The shock structure is unsteady and undergoes large-scale motion in the streamwise direction. The length scale of the motion is about 22 percent of the upstream influence length of the separation shock wave. There exists a wide band of frequency of oscillations of the shock system. Most of the frequencies are in the range of 1–3 kHz. The heat transfer fluctuates intermittently between the undisturbed level and the disturbed level within the range of motion of the separation shock wave. This intermittent phenomenon is considered as the consequence of the large-scale shock system oscillations. Downstream of the range of shock wave motion there is a separated region where the flow experiences continuous compression and no intermittency phenomenon is observed.

高超音速湍流分离表面热流率的脉动特性

本文给出高超音速湍流分离不稳定特性的实验研究结果。试验条件是:自由流马赫数为 7.8,单位长度雷诺数为 3.5×10~7/米。分离流场由有限展长前向台阶产生,并用有高空间分辨率和快速响应的一列平齐安装的铂膜电阻温度计和多通道系统测量其表面热流率脉动。信号的条件采样分析结果表明:分离激波的根部由一束压缩波构成,流向展长约二分之一来流边界层厚度,在边界层外汇聚成单一主激波。这种激波结构极其不稳定,出现大尺度运动,流向运动的尺度约为分离激波上游影响区域长度的22％。激波振荡频率为一宽频带,主要集中在 1～3 千赫。在分离激波运动区域,热流脉动呈间歇性,在无扰动和激波扰动间跳跃。可以认为这种间歇性是分离激波系统大尺度振荡的结果。在激波运动区域的下游为分离区,流体继续压缩,热流脉动无间歇。     

Developments in Formulation and Application of the Filtered Density Function

An overview is presented of the state of progress in large eddy simulation of turbulent combustion via the filtered density function (FDF). This includes the formulations based on both the joint velocity-scalar FDF, and the marginal scalar FDF. In the former, the most up-to-date and comprehensive form of the model is presented along with its applications for LES of some relatively simple flows. In the latter, results are presented of the most recent LES of a complex turbulent flame. Both of the models are described in the context of a variable density flow via consideration of the filtered mass density function (FMDF).Presented at the Workshop on Quality Assessment of Unsteady Methods for Turbulent Combustion, Darmstadt, Germany, June 16–17, 2005.
