Experimental investigation of a twice-shocked spherical gas inhomogeneity with particle image velocimetry

Results are presented from an experimental investigation into the interaction of a planar shock wave with a vortex ring. A free-falling spherical soap bubble is traversed by the incident shock wave and develops into a vortex ring as a result of baroclinically deposited vorticity (?r×?p 1 0{\nabla\rho\times\nabla p \neq 0}). The vortex ring translates with a velocity relative to the particle velocity behind the shock wave due to circulation. After the shock wave reflects from the tube end wall, it traverses the vortex ring (this process is called “reshock”) and deposits additional vorticity. Planar Mie scattering is used to visualize the atomized soap film at high frame rates (up to 10,000 fps). Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was performed for an argon bubble in nitrogen accelerated by a M = 1.35 shock wave. Circulation was determined from the PIV velocity field and found to agree well with Kelvin’s vortex ring model.     

Visualization of compressible vortex rings using the background-oriented schlieren method

In this article, we attempt to validate flow visualization using the high-speed background-oriented schlieren (HiBOS) method, which is the BOS technique combined with a high-speed video camera as the recording device in the experiment. The method has been applied to shock-induced flow near the open end of a shock tube. Three incident shock Mach numbers were examined so that the BOS measurements could be compared with results given in the literature of particle-image velocimetry (PIV) measurements. Using the HiBOS technique, we were able to clearly view developing, compressible vortex rings and diffracted shock waves discharged from the open end of the shock tube. From the BOS images, we extracted the history of the propagation velocity, the diameter of the vortex ring, and the diameter of the vortex core, all of which agree with the corresponding PIV values reported in the literature.     

Application of PIV in a Mach 7 double-ramp flow

The flow over a two-dimensional double compression ramp configuration is investigated by means of schlieren visualization, quantitative infrared thermography and particle image velocimetry (PIV) in a short-duration facility producing a free-stream flow at Mach 7. The study focuses upon the accuracy assessment of PIV in the hypersonic flow regime including flow facility effects such as repeatability of test conditions. The solid tracer particles are characterized by means of electron microscopy as well as by measuring the dynamic response across a planar oblique shock wave with PIV. The experiments display a strong variation in the light scattering intensity of the seeded flow over the flow field, due to the large flow compressibility. The mean velocity spatial distribution allows to clearly identify the shock pattern and the main features of the flow downstream of the shocks. However, the spatial resolution is insufficient to determine the wall flow properties. Furthermore the velocity data obtained with the PIV technique allow the determination of the spatial distribution of the Mach number under the hypothesis of adiabatic flow. The double ramp configuration with a variable second compression angle exhibits shock–shock interactions of Edney type VI or V for the lowest and highest ramp angle, respectively. A single heat transfer peak is detected with infrared thermography on the second ramp in case of a type VI interaction while for the type V shock interaction a double heat transfer peak is found. Shock wave angles measured with PIV are in good agreement with theory and the overall flow topology is consistent with schlieren visualization. Also in this respect the results are in agreement with compressible flow theory.     

Investigation of aerodynamic effects of coolant ejection at the trailing edge of a turbine blade model by PIV and pressure measurements

In order to simulate the thick trailing edges of turbine blades a slotted plate profile together with a newly designed nozzle was installed into the high-speed wind tunnel of the DLR Göttingen. At different supersonic Mach numbers and at four coolant flow rates in the range of 0–2.5% pressure distribution measurements and probe measurements were performed. The flow field was visualized by schlieren photos and the instantaneous velocity field was quantitatively investigated by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The measurements of the velocity field gave an insight into stationary effects, for example the change of shock strength with coolant flow rate, and instationary effects such as the existence of a vortex street in the wake. The PIV technique offers special advantages for the investigation of transonic flow fields, but also yields to special experimental difficulties, which are also described in this article. Measured losses display a maximum at the downstream Mach number 1. This is strongly related to the behaviour of the base pressure. A loss minimum is achieved at moderate coolant flow rates, showing that an optimum coolant flow rate exists. The loss was analysed and separated into the loss contributions from the profile upstream of the trailing edge and the mixing loss due to the coolant flow.     

Supersonic pulsed jets for material sorting

Air ejectors are used for sorting materials by displacing selected items through the action of aerodynamic drag. Subsonic units are common in the marketplace. This paper explores the potential for the use of an overexpanded supersonic jet because of it having reduced lateral spread and giving significantly higher particle drag. Experiments have been conducted to explore the flow field associated with a pulsed supersonic jet impacting particles in different positions relative to the jet exit, and of various shapes. The forces acting on a typical particle are measured and schlieren photography is used to visualize the flow.     

Interaction of a Streamwise Vortex with an Oblique Shock Wave

Interaction of a supersonic streamwise vortex with an oblique shock wave is considered. A mathematical model of the streamwise vortex is constructed. Three interaction regimes (weak, moderate, and strong) are found. It is shown numerically that vortex breakdown is possible in the case of strong interaction. The influence of the governing parameters on the interaction type is studied. It is shown that the main effect on the interaction type is exerted by the streamwise velocity and angle of the wedge forming the shock wave. The effect of splitting of the primary vortex on the shock wave in the case of moderate and strong interaction regimes is found.     

Associated disturbances around a vortex ring in a stratified fluid

A motion of a vortex ring in a stratified fluid is accompanied by associated disturbances which, in the schlieren visualization in the field of a horizontal density gradient, have the shape of a symmetric four-petal configuration. The criterion of the existence of the disturbances is the Froude number Fr based on the motion velocity and the vertical vortex size. On the range Fr > 1, the disturbances are stable with respect to the variation of themotion regime and the distortion of the vortex shape. For Fr < 1 the disturbances disappear. Computer processing of the schlieren photographs showed that the experimental spatial dependences of the disturbance amplitude are close to the functions describing the distribution of the vertical velocity component in the inviscid flow past a sphere.     

探测器对超音速刚性盘-缝-带型降落伞系统的影响

研究了流体初始马赫数为 2.0 时, 探测器的存在与否对刚性盘-缝-带型降落伞系统气动减速性能以及流场流体结构特性的影响. 对于非定常可压缩流体的数值模拟, 流场采用了三层块结构自适应网格加密技术, 配合混合形式的TCD (tuned center difference)和WENO (weighted essentially non-oscillatory)计算格式以及基于拉伸涡亚格子模型的大涡模拟方法来处理超音速流中的激波以及大尺度湍流旋涡结构等. 结果表明: 无探测器时, 降落伞系统的流场结构稳定, 扰动较小; 有探测器存在时, 探测器后端的湍流尾迹和伞衣内部逆向运动溢出的流体与伞衣前端的弓形激波周期性的相互作用, 使得激波位置发生前移、激波倾角变小, 伞衣内部流场难以达到平衡稳定状态. 这加剧了降落伞系统的气动阻力振荡脉动变化, 降低了降落伞系统气动阻力系数, 同时也使得降落伞系统流场尾迹结构更加复杂.      

冷激波灭火系统中激波对灭火效果和周边环境的影响

为了评估冷激波灭火弹爆炸后形成的激波对灭火效果和周边环境的影响,建立了一套纹影实验装置。通过纹影实验,观察了小尺寸下不同灭火介质爆炸抛撒后激波的形成和传播,并推算了冷激波灭火弹爆炸后油盆边缘附近的波后质点速度。观察发现,水基灭火介质爆炸抛撒后没有形成激波;而粉基灭火介质尽管爆炸抛撒后形成激波,但在油盆边缘附近激波强度较弱,波后质点速度小。与介质抛撒引起的可燃气体介质运动相比,激波对加快可燃气体介质运动的影响可以忽略。最后,通过高速摄影实验验证了激波对灭火效果的影响是可以忽略的。因此,冷激波系统中,激波对灭火效果和周边环境的影响是可以忽略的。
