Wavelet Cross-Spectrum Analysis of Multi-Scale Disturbance Instability and Transition on Sharp Cone Hypersonic Boundary Layer

Experimental measurement of hypersonic boundary layer stability and transition on a sharp cone with a half angle of 5° is carried out at free-coming stream Mach number 6 in a hypersonic wind tunnel. Mean andfluctuation surface-thermal-flux characteristics of the hypersonic boundary layer flow are measured by Pt-thin-film thermocouple temperature sensors installed at 28 stations on the cone surface along longitudinal direction. At hypersonic speeds, the dominant flow instabilities demonstrate that the growth rate of the second mode tends to exceed that of the low-frequency mode. Wavelet-based cross-spectrum technique is introduced to obtain the multi-scale cross-spectral characteristics of the fluctuating signals in thefrequency range of the second mode. Nonlinear interactions both of the second mode disturbance and the first mode disturbance are demonstrated to be dominant instabilities in the initial stage of laminar-turbulence transition for hypersonic shear flow.

激光聚焦扰动作用下高超声速边界层稳定性实验研究

在马赫数6、单位雷诺数3.1×10⁶/m的条件下对半锥角7°直圆锥边界层稳定性开展了实验研究.以激光聚焦于流场中局部空间而产生的膨胀冲击波作为人工添加的小扰动,分析了该扰动对高超声速圆锥边界层流动稳定性的影响.实验中利用响应频率达到兆赫兹量级的高频压力传感器对圆锥壁面脉动压力进行测量,通过对压力数据进行短时傅里叶分析和功率谱分析发现,相比于不添加激光聚焦扰动的结果,添加激光聚焦扰动使边界层中第二模态波的出现位置提前,且扰动波的幅值大幅度地增加,在相同的流向范围内,激光聚焦扰动将边界层中的扰动波从线性发展阶段推进到非线性发展阶段,其对边界层中扰动波发展的促进效果明显.同时,激光聚焦位置的不同对边界层中扰动波的发展也具有不同的影响.当激光直接聚焦于圆锥壁面X=100 mm位置时,边界层中频率为90 kHz的扰动波幅值增长最快,在X=500 mm的位置处其幅值放大倍数为3.81,相比而言当激光聚焦位置位于圆锥前方自由来流中时,边界层幅值增长最快的扰动波频率大幅减小为73 kHz,相同范围内,其幅值放大倍数为4.51倍.由此可见,当激光聚焦位置位于圆锥上游的自由来流中时,其对边界层中扰动波的影响更为显著.     

不同光线入射角度下超声速湍流边界层气动光学效应的实验研究

利用基于纳米粒子的平面激光散射技术获取超声速(Ma=3.0)湍流边界层的密度分布,采用光线追迹方法计算其对应的光程差分布,并结合边界层气动光学相似律验证实验结果的可靠性.着重研究了光线入射角度对超声速湍流边界层气动光学效应的影响,并对其内在机理进行了分析.研究表明,气动光学效应对光线入射角度的依赖性源于光线在流场中的传输路径,传输路径的不同导致了光线在流场中的传输距离以及对应密度脉动互相关结果的差异.光线倾斜入射导致其在流场中传输距离增长,进而气动光学效应出现恶化.光线入射方向与壁面垂直方向之间的夹角越大,气动光学效应越显著,而且不同时刻的差异性增加,气动光学效应校正的难度增加.超声速湍流边界层中大量具有特定方向的涡结构导致了湍流边界层气动光学效应的各向异性.当光线倾斜向下游入射时,光线传播方向与流场中的涡结构具有较好的一致性,体现为此方向上密度脉动互相关系数较大,故气动光学效应比较严重.而当光线倾斜向上游入射时,相关系数较小,故气动光学效应较弱.

Investigation of a turbulent wall jet in forced convection issuing into a directed coflow stream

In the present paper, we have studied numerically the directed coflow stream effects on mean and turbulent flow properties of a turbulent plane wall jet in forced convection emerging into a directed coflow stream. The system of equations governing the studied configuration is solved with a finite difference scheme using a staggered grid for numerical stability, not uniform in the two directions of the flow. The modified version of the first-order low Reynolds number k–? turbulence model is used and compared to existing experimental findings. It is found that predicted results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data and that the wall jet fluid decays faster in presence of a directed coflow stream. Results show also that the increase of coflow deviation angles causes an increase of the growth rates of the dynamic and thermal half-width of the jet and enhances the turbulent mixing. It is found that the longitudinal development of normalised forms of the jet characteristics parameters at different directed coflow velocity ratios can be reasonably well collapsed onto universal trends through the use of momentum length scale.     

Direct numerical simulation of shock/turbulent boundary layer interaction in a supersonic compression ramp

A direct numerical simulation of the shock/turbulent boundary layer interaction flow in a supersonic 24-degree compression ramp is conducted with the free stream Mach number 2.9.The blow-and-suction disturbance in the upstream wall boundary is used to trigger the transition.Both the mean wall pressure and the velocity profiles agree with those of the experimental data,which validates the simulation.The turbulent kinetic energy budget in the separation region is analyzed.Results show that the turbulent production term increases fast in the separation region,while the turbulent dissipation term reaches its peak in the near-wall region.The turbulent transport term contributes to the balance of the turbulent conduction and turbulent dissipation.Based on the analysis of instantaneous pressure in the downstream region of the mean shock and that in the separation bubble,the authors suggest that the low frequency oscillation of the shock is not caused by the upstream turbulent disturbance,but rather the instability of separation bubble.     

低Reynolds数翼型绕流主动控制技术

在低Reynolds数条件下,翼型绕流的上表面边界层由于抗逆压梯度能力变差容易发生流动分离,从而形成长层流分离泡.分离泡通常是非定常的,会诱发边界层的转捩、再附并形成湍流边界层.这个过程会使翼型的气动性能急剧下降,并伴随着强非线性效应.转捩后形成的湍流边界层也会产生高摩擦阻力.针对这种现象,文章以NACA0012翼型为例,通过隐式大涡模拟研究了有效的主动控制方案.为了统一分离控制技术和湍流边界层减阻技术,研究了在平板或槽道湍流中取得较好控制效果的壁面垂向反向控制方案.首先利用隐式大涡模拟研究了低Reynolds数条件下NACA0012翼型绕流的流场特征.其次分析并验证了反向控制方案在分离区控制流场的可行性,发现反向控制在分离区的作用相当于基于流场信息的壁面抽吸控制,且控制具有实时性和高效性,控制抽吸了前缘的低能流体,使得翼型前缘附面层变薄,并增强了其抗逆压梯度的能力,较大程度提高了翼型的气动性能.最后在湍流边界层验证了其减阻控制效果,发现反向控制阻断了流向涡的法向输运,抑制了涡结构的发展,并减弱了猝发过程,使得湍流的高摩阻力得到了有效降低.      

Impact of incident Mach wave on supersonic boundary layer

Results of an experimental study of the excitation of high-intensity disturbances by a weak external shock wave in laminar boundary layer on flat-plate models with sharp and blunted leading edges at М = 2.5 are reported. The field of disturbances produced by a 2D sticker in turbulent boundary layer on the wall of wind-tunnel test section in the free stream is shown to have the form of an N-wave. It is found that, on the blunted plate, the intensity of pulsations produced by weak external shock waves in boundary layer several times exceeds the intensity of pulsations produced in boundary layer on the model with a sharp leading edge.     

高超声速条件下7°直圆锥边界层转捩实验研究

在Ma=6低噪声风洞中开展了半锥角7?的直圆锥边界层转捩相关实验研究.利用响应频率达到MHz量级的高频压力传感器对圆锥壁面脉动压力进行了测量,研究了高超声速圆锥边界层中扰动波的发展过程.结果表明:高超声速圆锥边界层中第二模态扰动波产生的位置以及扰动波特征频率和波长等参数受雷诺数影响较大,当单位雷诺数从2×106m~(-1)增加到8×106m~(-1)时,第二模态波的特征频率从55 k Hz增加到226 k Hz;随着单位雷诺数增加,边界层中扰动增长速度加快,第二模态波出现在圆锥表面更靠近上游的位置;相同单位雷诺数条件下,随着第二模态波的向下游传播,其特征频率逐渐减小.通过对比发现自由来流湍流度对边界层中扰动波的发展同样有较大影响,自由来流湍流度降低,边界层中的第二模态波的特征频率明显减小.利用互相关分析得出第二模态扰动波在边界层中的传播速度大约为当地主流速度的0.8—0.9倍.在1?小攻角条件下,圆锥迎风面和背风面边界层发展呈现出明显的差异,背风面边界层中扰动发展提前,第二模态波出现在更靠近上游的位置,而迎风面中扰动发展受到抑制,第二模态波特征频率更大.     

Coupled radiation and turbulent multiphase flow in an aluminised solid propellant rocket engine

We present in this paper numerical simulations of coupled radiative transfer and turbulent flows at high temperature and pressure, typical of multiphase flows encountered in aluminised solid propellant rocket engines. The radiating medium is constituted of gases and of liquid or solid particles of oxidised aluminum. The turbulent flow of the gaseous phase is treated by using a four equation, low Reynolds number, boundary-layer-type turbulence model. The distributions of concentrations, temperatures, and temperature fluctuation variances of particles are calculated from a Lagrangian approach and a turbulence dispersion model. Thermal and mechanical non-equilibrium between the gas and different classes of particles is allowed. A locally one dimensional, iteratively based, radiative transfer solver is developed to compute wall fluxes and radiative source terms. It is shown that the thermal boundary layer attenuates significantly the radiative fluxes coming from the outer regions. Particle radiation is found to be much more important than gas radiation. Turbulent dispersion of particles in the boundary layer induces a decrease of particle concentration in the region of maximum turbulent kinetic energy, and then, decreases the attenuation effect of wall fluxes due to the boundary layer. The effects of turbulent temperature fluctuations are found to be small in the problem under consideration.     

Heat transfer peculiarities in separated flow past an oblique rib under different external turbulence

Results of an experimental study of turbulent flow past a flat rib installed at an angle to the free-stream direction are reported. In the experiments, external flows with two different turbulence numbers were used, and the angle of rib inclination to the free stream was varied from 50 to 90°. The experiments were performed for ribs of various heights under conditions with natural and high (13.4 %) free-stream turbulence levels. Visualization tests were performed to elucidate the vortex formation pattern and the direction of flow streamlines. Deformations of the recirculation region and secondary-vortex zone as well as enhanced effects due to 3D flow structure observed on decreasing the angle ϕ, and also notable restructuring of the flow at a high free-stream turbulence intensity, were identified. A comparison between pressure coefficients in different longitudinal sections of the channel is reported for ribs of various heights installed at various angles ϕ. The influence of rib inclination angle, rib height, and free-stream turbulence number on local heat-transfer coefficients and heat-transfer intensification is analysed. This work was financially supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Grant No. 06-08-00300).     

EFFECTS OF FREE STREAM VELOCITY ON TURBULENT NATURAL CONVECTION FLOW OVER A VERTICAL FORWARD-FACING STEP

Measurements of heat transfer and fluid flow of turbulent boundary-layer air flow in natural and mixed convection over an isothermal two-dimensional, vertical forward-facing step are reported. The upstream and downstream walls and the step itself were heated to a uniform and constant temperature. Air velocity and temperature distributions and their turbulent fluctuations are measured simultaneously using a two-component laser-Doppler velocimeter (LDV) and a cold wire anemometer, respectively. The present study treats buoyancy-dominated mixed convection over a vertical forward-facing step and examines the effect of a small free stream velocity on turbulent natural convection. The experiment was carried out for a step height of 22 mm, for a range of free stream air velocities 0 m/s ? u_∞ ? 0.55 m/s (corresponding to a range of Reynolds numbers of 0 ? Re\abinf{s} ? 712), and a temperature difference, ΔT, of 30°C between the heated walls and the free stream air (corresponding to a local Grashof number Gr_xi = 6.45 × 10¹⁰). It was found that the reattachment length increases while the heat transfer rate from the downstream heated wall decreases as the small free stream velocity increases.     

Numerical analysis of shock wave and supersonic turbulent boundary interaction between adiabatic and cold walls

Direct numerical simulations of shock wave and supersonic turbulent boundary layer interaction in a 24° compression ramp with adiabatic and cold-wall temperatures are conducted. The wall temperature effects on turbulence structures and shock motions are investigated. The results are validated against previous experimental and numerical data. The effects of wall cooling on boundary layer characteristics are analysed. Statistical data show that wall cooling has a significant effect on the logarithmic region of mean velocity profile downstream the interaction region. Moreover, the influence of wall temperature on Reynolds stress anisotropy is mainly limited in the near-wall region and has little change on the outer layer. As the wall temperature decreases, the streamwise coherency of streaks increases. Based on the analysis of instantaneous Lamb vector divergence, the momentum transport between small-scale vortices on cold-wall condition is significantly enhanced. In addition, spectral analysis of wall pressure signals indicates that the location of peak of low-frequency energy shifts toward higher frequencies in cold case. Furthermore, the dynamic mode decomposition results reveal two characteristic modes, namely a low-frequency mode exhibiting the breathing motion of separation bubble and a high-frequency mode associated with the propagation of instability waves above separation bubble. The shape of dynamic modes is not sensitive to wall temperature.

Receptivity to free-stream disturbance waves for hypersonic flow over a blunt cone

A high-order shock-fitting finite difference scheme is studied and used to do direction numerical simulation (DNS) of hypersonic unsteady flow over a blunt cone with fast acoustic waves in the free stream, and the receptivity problem in the blunt cone hypersonic boundary layers is studied. The results show that the acoustic waves are the strongest disturbance in the blunt cone hypersonic boundary layers. The wave modes of disturbance in the blunt cone boundary layers are first, second, and third modes which are generated and propagated downstream along the wall. The results also show that as the frequency decreases, the amplitudes of wave modes of disturbance increase, but there is a critical value. When frequency is over the critial value, the amplitudes decrease. Because of the discontinuity of curvature along the blunt cone body, the maximum amplitudes as a function of frequencies are not monotone.

TURBULENT NATURAL-CONVECTION FLOW OVER A VERTICAL FORWARD-FACING STEP

Measurements of turbulent natural-convection flow over a two-dimensional, vertical, forward-facing step are reported. Laser Doppler velocimeter and cold-wire anemometer were used to, respectively, measure simultaneously the time-mean turbulent velocity and temperature distributions and their turbulent fluctuation intensities. The upstream and downstream walls and the step itself were heated to a uniform and constant temperature. The experiment was carried out for a step height of 22 mm and a temperature difference between the heated walls and the free stream (ambient air), j T, of 30°C (corresponding to a local Grashof number Gr xi = 6.45 2 10 10 ). Measurements of the time-mean velocities and temperature distributions along with their turbulent fluctuation intensities are presented at various locations upstream and downstream of the forward-facing step. The present results reveal that the maximum local Nusselt number occurs in the vicinity of the reattachment region and it is approximately two-and-a-half times that of a flat-plate value at similar flow and thermal conditions. These measurements can serve as a test case for turbulence models in predicting numerically the flow and heat transfer characteristics in this geometry and these experimental conditions.
