Influence of flow path modification on oscillation of cavity shear layer

This study investigates the influence on the oscillating characteristics of a cavity shear layer by introducing either a sloped bottom or a flow path modifier at the bottom of the cavity. All the experiments are performed in a recirculating water channel. The laser Doppler velocimetry system and the laser sheet technique are employed to perform the quantitative velocity measurements and the qualitative flow visualization, respectively. The Reynolds number, based on the momentum thickness at the upstream edge of the cavity, is kept at about Re _{θ 0}=194 ± 3.4. It is found that, in addition to the feedback effect, the upstream moving part of the recirculating flow inside the cavity also plays an important role in changing the oscillating characteristics of the unstable shear layer. As the bottom of the cavity is either negatively or positively sloped, the oscillating characteristics of the cavity shear layer are modified to different extents. Significant reduction of the oscillating amplitude within the cavity is found while the bottom slope increases up to d/L=± 2/5. As the bottom slope further increases up to d/L=± 1/2, the self-excited oscillation is completely suppressed. In addition, the ability to suppress the self-excited oscillation by the negative bottom slopes is superior to that in the case of a positive bottom slope. Depending upon the fence locations, the upstream moving part of the recirculating flow will perturb the unstable shear layer at different x/L locations, leading to different oscillating amplitudes. The ability to promote the enlarged oscillating amplitude of the unstable shear layer is better for a fence inclined at a positive angle than for one at a negative angle.

Numerical research of turbulent heat transfer in rectangular channels in ocean environment

Because of the effects of periodic ocean waves, there are many differences between the heat transfer characteristics of turbulent flow in ocean environment from that of land-based systems. The turbulent flow in rectangular channels in ocean environment is investigated theoretically with CFD code FLUENT. The effects of rolling motion consist of two parts, the first part is the axial additional force which can change the flowing velocity and the other part is the radial additional force. In ocean environment, the turbulent heat transfer is dominated by the axial additional force. The effect of radial additional force is very limited. The effect of length–width ratio on the oscillating amplitude of Nusselt number is also not significant. The average Nusselt number and its oscillating amplitude are in linear relation with the average Reynolds number. The oscillating amplitude of Nusselt number is in direct ratio with the fluctuation-velocity Reynolds number.     

Numerical prediction of locally forced turbulent boundary layer

An unsteady numerical simulation was performed to analyze flow structure behind a local suction/blowing in a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer. The local forcing was given to the boundary layer flow by means of a sinusoidally oscillating jet. A version of the unsteady k––f_μ model [Fluid Dyn. Res. 26 (6) (2000) 421] was employed. The Reynolds number based on the momentum thickness was about Re_θ=1700. The forcing frequency was varied in the range 0.011f⁺0.044 with a fixed forcing amplitude A_o=0.4. The predicted results were compared and validated with the experimental data. It was shown that the unsteady locally forced boundary layer flow is predicted well by the k––f_μ model. The time-dependent numerical flow visualizations were demonstrated during one period of the local forcing. The effect of the pitch angle of local forcing on the reduction of skin friction was examined.

Temporal and spatial transients in turbulent boundary layer flow over an oscillating wall

Direct numerical simulations have been performed to study the effect of an oscillating segment of the wall on a turbulent boundary layer flow. Two different oscillation amplitudes with equal oscillation period have been used, which allows a direct comparison between a relatively weak and strong forcing of the flow. The weaker forcing results in 18% drag reduction while the stronger forcing, with twice the amplitude, yields 29% drag reduction. The downstream development of the drag reduction is compared with earlier simulations and experiments. In addition, a simulation with identical oscillation parameters as in previous numerical and experimental investigations allows for an estimation of the effect of the Reynolds number on the drag reduction.Reductions in the Reynolds stresses and the important role that the edge of the Stokes layer has is explained.An estimation of the idealized power consumption shows that a positive energy budget is only possible for the weaker wall velocity case.Spatial and temporal transients are investigated and a transformation between spatial and temporal coordinates via a convection velocity is shown to facilitate a comparison between the two transients in a consistent manner. The streamwise shear exhibits a similar monotonic behavior in the spatial and temporal transients, while the non-monotinic temporal transient of the longitudinal Reynolds stress has no counterpart in the spatial development. Furthermore, the evolution in time of the spanwise Reynolds stress is very similar to previously reported channel flow data.The instantaneous spanwise velocity profile (only averaged in the homogeneous spanwise direction) will for the first time be presented from a boundary layer over an oscillating wall, and comparisons with the analytical solution to the laminar Navier–Stokes equations show very good agreement.     

DNS of a Laminar Separation Bubble in the Presence of Oscillating External Flow

A three-dimensional Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of a laminar separation bubble in the presence of oscillating flow is performed. The oscillating flow induces a streamwise pressure gradient varying in time. The special shape of the upper boundary of the computational domain, together with the oscillating pressure gradient causes the boundary layer flow to alternately separate and re-attach. When the inflow decelerates, the shear layer starts to separate and rolls up. Simultaneously the flow becomes 3D. After a transient period, the phase-averaged reverse flow inside the separation bubble reaches speeds ranging from 20 up to 150% of the free-stream velocity. During these phases, the flow is absolutely unstable and self-sustained turbulence can exist. When the inflow starts to accelerate, a spanwise roll of turbulent flow is shed from the shear layer. Shortly after this, the remainder of the separation bubble moves downstream and rejoins with the shed turbulent roll. During the flow-acceleration phase, a patch of laminar boundary layer flow is obtained. Along the flat plate, a series of turbulent patches of flow travelling downstream, separated by laminar flow can be observed, reminiscent of boundary layer flow in a turbine cascade with periodically appearing free-stream disturbances.     

Numerical Study of the Flow Behind a Rotary Oscillating Circular Cylinder

A numerical study is performed of flow behind a rotationally oscillating circular cylinder in a uniform flow by solving the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The flow behavior in lock-on regime and the timing of vortex formation from the oscillating cylinder are studied. When the frequency of excitation of the cylinder is in the vicinity of the natural vortex formation frequency, a lock-on vortex formation regime appears. As the excitation frequency being increased relative to the natural frequency the initially formed vorticity concentration switches to the opposite side of the cylinder. The effects of oscillating frequency and amplitude on the vortex structures formed in the near wake of the cylinder are also investigated. Based on the present calculated results, some complicated vortex patterns are identified and are consistent with the previous experimental visualizations.     

A numerical study on the flow patterns of two oscillating cylinders

Flow around two oscillating cylinders in a side-by-side arrangement at Reynolds number (Re)=185 is simulated using the immersed boundary method. The purpose of this study is to investigate the combined effects of the gap between the two cylinders and their oscillation in the flow. The cylinders oscillate transversely to a uniform cross-flow with a prescribed sinusoidal function in the opposite direction, with the oscillation amplitude equal to 20% of the cylinder diameter. The gap between the two cylinders and the oscillating frequency are chosen as major variables for the parametric study to investigate their influence on the flow pattern. The ratio of mean gap distance between the two oscillating cylinders to the cylinder diameter is chosen to be 0.6, 1.0, 1.4, and 1.8, and the ratio of oscillating frequencies to the natural vortex shedding frequency of a fixed cylinder is 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2. Wake patterns and the drag and lift coefficients are described and compared with those from a single oscillating cylinder and two stationary cylinders. The wake patterns of two oscillating cylinders can be explained by flow mechanisms of two stationary cylinders, a single oscillating cylinder, and their combinations, and are in agreement with classifications of flow over two stationary cylinders presented in previous studies. In the case of two oscillating cylinders, the modulation phenomenon appears from a lower excitation frequency than in a single oscillating cylinder. Generally, oscillating cylinders have higher drag and root-mean-square (r.m.s.) values of drag coefficients than stationary cylinders.     

Non-linear dynamics and pattern formation in a vertical fluid layer heated from the side

We study both experimentally and numerically the convective flow in a tall vertical slot with differently heated walls. The flow is investigated for the fluid with the Prandtl number Pr=26, which is large enough to ensure the traveling waves as primary instability and small enough to prevent boundary layer convection. The flow evolution is determined on the base of the visual observations, power spectra and amplitude analysis. In the numerical simulations of two- and three-dimensional flows, we accept an assumption of an infinite fluid layer. The satisfactory agreement with experiment is observed, and the sequence of convection states is discovered. It starts with a plane-parallel flow as primary solution, which becomes unstable to two counter-propagating waves. It is followed by a tertiary three-dimensional flow in the form of wavy traveling waves. As the Grashof number is increased even further, a chaotically oscillating cellular pattern consisting of the pieces of broken waves arises. The formation of a structure in the form of the vertical rolls chaotically modulated along axes concludes this complicated picture.     

Dynamic release process of pollutants during suspended sediment transport in aquatic system

Pollutants release is highly consistent with suspended sediment concentration （SSC） in water column, especially during re-suspension and transport events. The present research focuses on pollutant dynamic release from re-suspended sediment, especially the vertical distribution relationship between them. The sediment erosion experiments on a series of uniform flow are conducted in a circulate flume. Reactive tracer （phosphorus） is used as the contaminant in fine-grained sediments to identify the release characteristic length and time. Experimental results show that the flow condition near-bed depends on the sediment surface roughness. The region with high turbulent intensities corresponds to a high concentration sediment layer. In addition, the SSC decreases with the distance, water depth, and particle grain size. The sediment in a smaller grain size takes much more time to reach equilibrium concentration. Total phosphorus （TP） concentration changes along the water depth as SSC in the initial re-suspension stage, appearing in two obvious concentration regimes： the upper low-concentration layer and the high-concentration near-bottom layer. This layered phenomenon remains for about 3 hours until SSC distri- bution tends to be uniform. Longitudinal desorption plays an important role in long-way transport to reduce the amount of suspended sediment in water column.     

Numerical simulation of force and wake mode of an oscillating cylinder

The turbulent flow behind a circular cylinder subjected to forced oscillation is numerically studied at a Reynolds number of 5500 by using three-dimensional Large Eddy Simulations (3-D LES) technique with the Smagorinsky model. The filtered equations are discretised using the finite volume method with an O-type structured grid and a second-order accurate method in both time and space. Firstly, the main wake parameters of a stationary cylinder are examined and compared in the different grid resolutions. Secondly, a transversely oscillating cylinder with a constant amplitude in a uniform flow is investigated. The cylinder oscillation frequency ranges between 0.75 and 0.95 of the natural Kármán frequency, and the excitation amplitude is moderate, 50% of the cylinder diameter. The flow characteristics of an oscillating cylinder are numerically examined and the corresponding wake modes are captured firstly in 3-D LES at Re=5500. A transition between different wake modes is firstly investigated in a set of numerical simulations.     

Application of LIF to investigate gas transfer near the air-water interface in a grid-stirred tank

The interaction between oxygen absorption into liquids and bottom shear-induced turbulence was investigated in a grid-stirred tank using a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. The LIF technique enabled visualization as well as quantification of planar concentration fields of the dissolved oxygen (DO) near the air-water interface. Qualitative observation of the images provided more insight into the physical mechanism controlling the gas transfer process. The high data resolution is an advantage for revealing the concentration distribution within the boundary layer, which is a few hundreds of a micrometer thick. Mean and turbulent fluctuation characteristics were obtained and compared with previous results.     

Flow characteristics and flow-induced forces of a stationary and rotating triangular cylinder with different incidence angles at low Reynolds numbers

In this paper, the problem of two-dimensional fluid flow past a stationary and rotationally oscillating equilateral triangular cylinder with a variable incident angle, Reynolds number, oscillating amplitude, and oscillating frequency is numerically investigated. The computations are carried out by using a two-step Taylor-characteristic-based Galerkin (TCBG) algorithm. For the stationary cases, simulations are conducted at various incident angles of α=0.0–60.0° and Reynolds numbers of Re=50–160. For the oscillation cases, the investigations are done at various oscillating amplitudes of θ_max=7.5–30.0° and oscillating frequencies of F_s/F_o=0.5–3.0 considering two different incidence angles (α=0.0°, 60.0°) and three different Reynolds numbers (Re=50, 100, 150). The results show that the influences of key parameters (incidence angle, Reynolds number, oscillating amplitude, and oscillating frequency) are significant on the flow pattern and hydrodynamic forces. For the stationary cases, at smaller angle of incidence (α≤30.0°), Reynolds number has a large impact on the position of the separation points. When α is between 30.0° and 60.0°, it was found that the separation points are located at the rear corners. From a topological point of view, the diagram of flow pattern is summarized, including two distinct patterns, namely, main separation and vortex merging. A deep analysis of the influence of Reynolds number and incidence angles on the mean pressure coefficient along the triangular cylinder surface is presented. Additionally, for the oscillating cases, the lock-on phenomenon is captured. The dominant flow patterns are 2S mode and P+S mode in lock-on region at α=0.0°. It is found at α=60.0°, however, that the flow pattern is predominantly 2S mode. Furthermore, except for the case of F_s/F_o=2.0, the mean drag decreases as the oscillating amplitude increases for each Reynolds number at α=0.0°. At α=60.0°, the minimum mean drag for F_s/F_o=1.5 is lower than that for stationary case, and occurs at θ_max=15.0° (Re=100) and θ_max=22.5° (Re=150), respectively. Finally, the effect of Reynolds number on a rotational oscillation cylinder is elucidated.     

Study of the Interaction of a Streamwise-Oscillating Shock with the Boundary Layer on a Flat Plate

The distinctive features of the flow in the region of interaction between an oscillating shock and a flat-plate boundary layer are studied for the laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow regimes. The flow patterns and the pressure and heat transfer distributions in the interaction region are analyzed at different intensities, frequencies, and amplitudes of the oscillating shock. The results of the interaction of oscillating and steady shocks with the flat-plate boundary layer are compared.     

Large eddy simulation of boundary layer flow under cnoidal waves

Water waves in coastal areas are generally nonlinear, exhibiting asymmetric velocity profiles with different amplitudes of crest and trough. The behaviors of the boundary layer under asymmetric waves are of great significance for sediment transport in natural circumstances. While previous studies have mainly focused on linear or symmetric waves, asymmetric wave-induced flows remain unclear, particularly in the flow regime with high Reynolds numbers.Taking cnoidal wave as a typical example of asymmetric waves, we propose to use an infinite immersed plate oscillating cnoidally in its own plane in quiescent water to simulate asymmetric wave boundary layer. A large eddy simulation approach with Smagorinsky subgrid model is adopted to investigate the flow characteristics of the boundary layer. It is verified that the model well reproduces experimental and theoretical results. Then a series of numerical experiments are carried out to study the boundary layer beneath cnoidal waves from laminar to fully developed turbulent regimes at high Reynolds numbers, larger than ever studied before.Results of velocity profile, wall shear stress, friction coefficient, phase lead between velocity and wall shear stress, and the boundary layer thickness are obtained. The dependencies of these boundary layer properties on the asymmetric degree and Reynolds number are discussed in detail.     

Thermocapillary convection in a plane liquid layer with concentration heat sources

Thermocapillary instability of a plane liquid binary-mixture layer with time-dependent surface tension is studied under weightlessness conditions. The liquid is heated (or cooled) due to heat release by an active admixture. The heat release rate is proportional to the active-component concentration. The admixture is transported by convection and diffusion. The active component “burns up” with time. The neutral curves for monotonous and oscillating disturbances are found for different values of the nondimensional parameters. Some nonlinear convection regimes are studied numerically by a finite-difference method. The dependence of the convective flow intensity on the Marangoni number is determined. The phase portraits of unsteady regimes are found.

A Numerical Study of Oscillating Peristaltic Flow of Generalized Maxwell Viscoelastic Fluids Through a Porous Medium

This article presents a numerical study on oscillating peristaltic flow of generalized Maxwell fluids through a porous medium. A sinusoidal model is employed for the oscillating flow regime. A modified Darcy-Brinkman model is utilized to simulate the flow of a generalized Maxwell fluid in a homogenous, isotropic porous medium. The governing equations are simplified by assuming long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The numerical and approximate analytical solutions of the problem are obtained by a semi-numerical technique, namely the homotopy perturbation method. The influence of the dominating physical parameters such as fractional Maxwell parameter, relaxation time, amplitude ratio, and permeability parameter on the flow characteristics are depicted graphically. The size of the trapped bolus is slightly enhanced by increasing the magnitude of permeability parameter whereas it is decreased with increasing amplitude ratio. Furthermore, it is shown that in the entire pumping region and the free pumping region, both volumetric flow rate and pressure decrease with increasing relaxation time, whereas in the co-pumping region, the volumetric flow rate is elevated with rising magnitude of relaxation time.
