On the capability of the curvilinear immersed boundary method in predicting near-wall turbulence of turbulent channel flows

The immersed boundary method has been widely used for simulating flows over complex geometries.However, its accuracy in predicting the statistics of near-wall turbulence has not been fully tested. In this work, we evaluate the capability of the curvilinear immersed boundary(CURVIB) method in predicting near-wall velocity and pressure fluctuations in turbulent channel flows. Simulation results show that quantities including the time-averaged streamwise velocity, the rms(root-mean-square) of velocity fluctuations, the rms of vorticity fluctuations, the shear stresses, and the correlation coefficients of u and v computed from the CURVIB simulations are in good agreement with those from the body-fitted simulations. More importantly, it is found that the time-averaged pressure, the rms and wavenumber-frequency spectra of pressure fluctuations computed using the CURVIB method agree well with the body-fitted results.     

Computation of backward-facing step flows by a second-order Reynolds stress closure model

This paper scrutinizes the predictive ability of the differential stress equation model in complex shear flows. Two backward-facing step flows with different expansion ratios are solved by the LRR turbulence model with an anisotropic dissipation model and the near-wall regions of the separated side resolved by a near-wall model. The computer code developed for solving the transport equations is based on the finite-volume-finite-difference method. In the numerical solution of the time-averaged momenum equations the Reynolds stresses are treated partially as a diffusion term and partially as a source term to avoid numerical instability. Computational results are compared with experimental data. It is found that the near-wall region of the separated side resolved by the near-wall model, the LRR model with a simple modification of an anisotropic dissipation model can predict backward step flows well.     

Study of modeling unsteady blade row interaction in a transonic compressor stage part 2: influence of deterministic correlations on time-averaged flow prediction

The average-passage equation system (APES) provides a rigorous mathematical framework for accounting for the unsteady blade row interaction through multistage compressors in steady state environment by introducing deterministic correlations (DC) that need to be modeled to close the equation system.The primary purpose of this study was to provide insight into the DC characteristics and the influence of DC on the time-averaged flow field of the APES.In Part 2 of this two-part paper,the influence of DC on the time-averaged flow field was systematically studied.Several time-averaging computations were conducted with various boundary conditions and DC for the downstream stator in a transonic compressor stage,by employing the CFD solver developed in Part 1 of this two-part paper.These results were compared with the time-averaged unsteady flow field and the steady one.The study indicated that the circumferentialaveraged DC can take into account major part of the unsteady effects on spanwise redistribution of flow fields in compressors.Furthermore,it demonstrated that both deterministic stresses and deterministic enthalpy fluxes are necessary to reproduce the time-averaged flow field.     

Development of a Two-velocities Hybrid RANS-LES Model and its Application to a Trailing Edge Flow

The flow around a trailing edge is computed with a new hybrid method designed to more clearly separate the effects of total and sub-grid turbulent stress-modelling on the time-averaged and instantaneous velocity fields, and in turn, mean momentum and kinetic energy balances. These two velocity fields independently define Reynolds averaged and sub-grid-scale viscosities, and distinct stresses, at the same location. In particular, resolved eddies can emerge, or sweep in and out of the Reynolds averaged near wall layer, without being dampened by higher levels of the viscosity in this RANS dominated layer. The two-field hybrid model, first tested on channel flows, gives accurate predictions of mean velocities and stresses for different Reynolds numbers and coarse meshes. For the trailing edge flow the results of the hybrid model are close to the reference fine LES for mean velocity and turbulent content, whereas the DES-SST on the same coarse mesh gives too early separation.     

Turbulent flow around a wall-mounted cube: A direct numerical simulation

An immersed-boundary method was employed to perform a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of flow around a wall-mounted cube in a fully developed turbulent channel for a Reynolds number Re = 5610, based on the bulk velocity and the channel height. Instantaneous results of the DNS of a plain channel flow were used as a fully developed inflow condition for the main channel. The results confirm the unsteadiness of the considered flow caused by the unstable interaction of a horseshoe vortex formed in front of the cube and on both its sides with an arch-type vortex behind the cube. The time-averaged data of the turbulence mean-square intensities, Reynolds shear stresses, kinetic energy and dissipation rate are presented. The negative turbulence production is predicted in the region in front of the cube where the main horseshoe vortex originates.

Application of a kinematic hardening viscoplasticity model with thresholds to the residual stress relaxation

The life analysis of engine components needs to take into account the residual stress relaxation induced by cyclic service loads. The paper recalls a new class of constitutive equations for cyclic viscoplasticity, using a series of kinematic hardening models with thresholds. The equations are introduced within a recently enlarged thermodynamic framework. Some attention is focused to the relations with multisurface approaches and to a specific determination procedure of the model parameters. The new model is applied to the calculation of the near surface residual stress relaxation after shot peening, when the structure is submitted to cyclic service loads. The simulated stabilized residual stresses are in good accordance with experimental results obtained on an N18 disk alloy at 650°C. In comparison, the classical model without threshold predicts the complete vanishing of the residual stresses, which is not satisfactory.

A new interferometric method for vibration measurement by electronic holography

Electronic holography is a well-established technique used in real-time, non-contact, whole-field displacement measurements. When using the real-time, time-averaged method for vibration measurments, the quantitative interpretation of dense fringe patterns is difficult because of speckle noise. Even when speckle-reducing procedures are used, such as multiple-frame averaging or rotation of the illumination beam, the remaining speckles and decreasing visibility of higher-order Bessel fringes are serious limitations. The primary objective of this paper is to present a new realtime, interferometric method for mechanical vibration measurements and the associated quantitative interpretation. The fringe pattern obtained by this method is quasi-binary and half as dense as in the time-averaged method. The method greatly improves the overall visibility (contrast, resolution) of vibration fringe patterns without any sacrifice in the real-time capabilities. Quantitative fringe interpretation is straightforward and based on binary fringe tracking. It allows quantitative measurements in situations where the time-averaged fringe processing fails.     

Cyclic viscoelastoplasticity and low-cycle fatigue of polymer composites

Observations are reported on a polymer composite (polyamide-6 reinforced with short glass fibers) in tensile relaxation tests with various strains, tensile creep tests with various stresses, and cyclic tests with a stress-controlled program (ratcheting with a fixed maximum stress and various minimum stresses). Constitutive equations are developed in cyclic viscoelastoplasticity of polymer composites. Adjustable parameters in the stress–strain relations are found by fitting observations in relaxation tests and cyclic tests (16 cycles of loading–unloading). It is demonstrated that the model correctly predicts experimental data in creep tests and dependencies of maximum and minimum strains per cycle on number of cycles up to fatigue fracture of specimens. The influence of strain rate and minimum stress on number of cycles to failure is studied numerically.     

Turbulent mixed convection of heat and water vapor transfers in a two-dimensional vegetation canopy

The present study consists in a numerical investigation of turbulent mixed-convection of heat and water vapor transfers inside two-dimensional (2-D) vegetation canopy, in the surrounding atmosphere and in a wet underground. The time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are used to characterize the flow field surrounding the canopy and within it. Reynolds shear stresses are calculated using the eddy turbulence model and the Prandtl mixing length. The governing equations are solved numerically using an implicit finite difference method and Thomas algorithm. The present model is used for the determination of the micro climatic profiles such as streamlines, isotherms and iso-concentration. Special emphasis is laid on the systematic analysis of the total evaporation rate (evapotranspiration), the local and average heat fluxes, the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. The effects of Leaf Area Density distribution, the canopy stomata regulation, as well as the atmospheric forcing conditions on the transfers, are presented and analysed. The results show that buoyancy force caused by properties variation reduces the local heat and mass transfer coefficients, and that this reduction increases at lower wind velocities.     

The evolution of crystalline stresses of a polycrystalline metal during cyclic loading

The presence of a positive average applied stress during cyclic uniaxial loading leads to a reduction in fatigue life of metallic parts. The metals are typically polycrystalline, with stresses varying from crystal to crystal due to differences in lattice orientation and slip system strength. Simulations enable us to better understand how polycrystals behave under cyclic loading and how the changing stress over many cycles influences fatigue life. Specifically, uniaxial cyclic simulations of pre-strained HY100 steel were conducted using an elastic viscoplastic continuum slip model employing a Taylor hypothesis. Stress-controlled loading conditions were employed to mimic fatigue tests on cold-bent bar specimens for three different load levels. The macroscopic axial strains and the crystal axial stresses were monitored during the cycles. The stress–strain response for the first cycle was used to determine the load input for the material point simulations. The peak values of crystal axial stress were found to evolve continuously with the number of loading cycles. It was found that the stress change in a crystal is influenced not only by its own orientation but also by the orientations of the other crystals in the aggregate. Furthermore, the distribution of crystal stresses after thousands of cycles at a lower stress amplitude closely resembled the distribution after tens of cycles at a larger stress amplitude.     

Where is the elastic limit?

The elastic limit provides a convenient concept for the design of mechanical and structural parts which should exhibit no permanent deformation after loading and subsequent unloading. The offset tensile yield strength of a material for small offsets, such as the 0.01-percent offset, is considered to be a good approximation of the elastic limit. TheWT-bend tester provides an alternative method to the tension test of determining the offset yield strength of materials. The specimens are subjected to cyclic bending and energy dissipation is used as a yield criterion. The stress as a function of the offset has been determined for a number of alloys. For some of the materials investigated cyclic stresses at levels considerably below the 0.01-percent offset yield strength caused significant changes in mechanical properties. Furthermore, for some highly cold-worked materials substantial cyclic softening could be observed. This raises the question: where is the elastic limit? It is hypothesized that no true elastic limit exists and that it would be possible only to determine an anelastic limit.     

Comprehensive experimental investigation of the hydrodynamics of large-scale, 3D,oscillating bubble plumes

An extensive study of the most important hydrodynamic characteristics of fairly large-scale bubble plumes was conducted using several measurement techniques and a variety of tools to analyze the data. Particle image velocimetry (PIV), double-tip optical probes (OP) and photographic techniques were extensively applied to measure bubble and liquid velocities, void-fraction and bubble sizes. PIV measurements in a vertical plane crossing the centre of the injector provided the instantaneous velocity fields for both phases, as well as hydrodynamic parameters, such as the movement of the axis of the plume and its instantaneous shape. Statistical studies were performed using image processing to determine the distribution of the apparent instantaneous plume diameter and centreline position. An important finding was that there is little instantaneous spreading of the bubble plume core; the spreading of the time-averaged plume width (as measured from the time-averaged void-fraction and time-averaged liquid velocity fields) is largely due to plume meandering and oscillations. The liquid-phase stress tensor distributions obtained from the instantaneous velocity data indicate that, for the continuous phase, these stresses scale linearly with the local void-fraction in the range of 0.5% < α < 2.5%. The bubbles were found to be ellipsoidal, with shape factor e ≈ 0.5.     

Momentum and heat transport in a finite-length cylinder wake

This paper reports an experimental study of turbulent momentum and heat transport in the wake of a wall-mounted finite-length square cylinder, with its length-to-width ratio L/d = 3–7. The cylinder was slightly heated so that heat produced could be considered as a passive scalar. A moveable three-wire probe (a combination of an X-wire and a cold wire) was used to measure velocity and temperature fluctuations at a Reynolds number of 7,300 based on d and the free-stream velocity. Measurements were performed at 10 and 20d downstream of the cylinder at various spanwise locations. Results indicate that L/d has a pronounced effect on Reynolds stresses, temperature variance and heat fluxes. The downwash flow from the free end of the cylinder acts to suppress spanwise vortices and, along with the upwash flow from the cylinder base, makes the finite-length cylinder wake highly three-dimensional. Reynolds stresses, especially the lateral normal stress, are significantly reduced as a result of suppressed spanwise vortices at a small L/d. The downwash flow acts to separate the two rows of spanwise vortices further apart from the wake centerline, resulting in a twin-peak distribution in temperature variance. While the downwash flow entrains high-speed fluid into the wake, responsible for a small deficit in the time-averaged streamwise velocity near the free end, it does not alter appreciably the distribution of time-averaged temperature. It has been found that the downwash flow gives rise to a counter-gradient transport of momentum about the central region of the wake near the free end of the cylinder, though such a counter-gradient transport does not occur for heat transport.     

Simulation of vortex shedding behind a bluff body flame stabilizer using a hybrid U-RANS/PDF method

The present study aims at the investigation of the effects of turbulence-chemistry interaction on combustion instabilities using a probability density function(PDF) method.The instantaneous quantities in the flow field were decomposed into the Favre-averaged variables and the stochastic fluctuations,which were calculated by unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(U-RANS) equations and the PDF model,respectively.A joint fluctuating velocityfrequency-composition PDF was used.The governing equations are solved by a consistent hybrid finite volume/MonteCarlo algorithm on triangular unstructured meshes.A nonreacting flow behind a triangular-shaped bluff body flame stabilizer in a rectilinear combustor was simulated by the present method.The results demonstrate the capability of the present method to capture the large-scale coherent structures.The triple decomposition was performed,by dividing the coherent Favre-averaged velocity into time-averaged value and periodical coherent part,to analyze the coherent and incoherent contributions to Reynolds stresses.A simple modification to the coefficients in the turbulent frequency model will help to improve the simulation results.Unsteady flow fields were depicted by streamlines and vorticity contours.Moreover,the association between turbulence production and vorticity saddle points is illustrated.

Mechanical and microstructural investigations of an austenitic stainless steel under non-proportional loadings in tension–torsion-internal and external pressure

This paper is concerned with the experimental behaviour of a 316 austenitic stainless steel at room temperature and under non-proportional cyclic and ratchet strainings in tension–torsion-internal and external pressures. The main investigations deal with the over-strengthening due to the multiaxiality of the loadings. A classification of the different kinds of cyclic tests can be established with respect to the increasing maximum over-strengthening. Concerning the ratchetting effect, from tests performed under in or out-of-phase cyclic tension–torsion plus a static stress due to internal pressure, it is shown that the rate of the diametrical ratchetting is an increasing function of the phase lag between the cyclic components. Dislocation substructures resulting from cyclic and ratchetting tests are investigated and various kinds of microstructures are reported. An analysis of these microstructures shows that the over-strengthening is not solely related to the slip multiplicity but also to the development of heterogeneous substructures. It has been also possible to evaluate the intra- and inter-granular back stresses and the effective stress as a function of the strengthening.
