In Taylor-Couette flow the total energy dissipation rate and therefore the drag can be determined by measuring the torque on the system. We do so for Reynolds numbers between Re=7 x 10(4) and Re=10(6) after having injected (i) small bubbles (R=1 mm) up to a volume concentration of alpha=5% and (ii) buoyant particles (rhop/rhol=0.14) of comparable volume concentration. In case (i) we observe a crossover from little drag reduction at smaller Re to strong drag reduction up to 20% at Re=10(6). In case (ii) we observe at most little drag reduction throughout. Several theoretical models for bubbly drag reduction are discussed in view of our findings. 相似文献

Large eddy simulation of turbulent channel flow with dense and small 3D roughness elements is carried out using a roughness element model Profiles of mean Reynolds stress, mean velocity and rms velocity as well as turbulent structures near the wall are obtained. The shear stress in the rough wall is larger than that in the smooth wall side and the rough wall has a larger influence on the channel flow. Profiles of mean streamwise velocity near the wall have logarithmic velocity distributions for both smooth and roughness walls, while there is a velocity decrease for the rough wall due to larger fractional drag. All the three components of rms velocities in the rough wall region are larger than that in the smooth wall region, and the roughness elements on the wall increase turbulent intensity in all directions. The s~reak spacing and average diameter of near wall quasi-s~reamwise vortices increase with the presence of roughness elements on the wall and it is shown that the rough wall induces complex and strong streamwise vortices. Results of dense and small 3D roughness elements in both turbulent statistics and structure, obtained with a relatively simple method, are found to be comparable to related experiments. 相似文献

We experimentally study the physical mechanism of the drag reduction of hydrophobic materials in the macroscopic scale. The experiment includes the drag and velocity measurements of laminar boundary layer flow over flat plates, and the observation of air bubbles on the surfaces. The plate surfaces have different wetting and roughness properties. In the drag measurements, the plates with bubbles on the surfaces lead to drag reduction, but not for those without bubbles. Velocity measurement confirms that the flow is laminar and gives apparent fluid slip on the plate wall with bubbles. In observation, air bubbles in macroscopic size emerge and enlarge on hydrophobic surfaces but not on hydrophilic surfaces. Therefore, the drag reduction of hydrophobic materials is explained by the generation of air bubbles of macroscopic size that cause the apparent velocity slip. 相似文献

New expressions for the resistance law and dimensionless moment of force are derived for a Taylor-Couette turbulent flow starting
from the generalized model of local balance for the turbulent energy. In the case of extremely high Reynolds numbers, the
formulas derived involve a single empirical (Karman) constant. 相似文献

We interpret measurements of the Reynolds number dependence of the torque in Taylor-Couette flow by Lewis and Swinney [Phys.
Rev. E 59, 5457 (1999)] and of the pressure drop in pipe flow by Smits and Zagarola [Phys. Fluids 10, 1045 (1998)] within the scaling theory of Grossmann and Lohse [J. Fluid Mech. 407, 27 (2000)], developed in the context of thermal convection. The main idea is to split the energy dissipation into contributions
from a boundary layer and the turbulent bulk. This ansatz can account for the observed scaling in both cases if it is assumed
that the internal wind velocity introduced through the rotational or pressure forcing is related to the external (imposed) velocity U, by with and for the Taylor-Couette (U inner cylinder velocity) and pipe flow (U mean flow velocity) case, respectively. In contrast to the Rayleigh-Bénard case the scaling exponents cannot (yet) be derived
from the dynamical equations.

The transition to turbulence in pipe flow does not follow the scenario familiar from Rayleigh-Benard or Taylor-Couette flow since the laminar profile is stable against infinitesimal perturbations for all Reynolds numbers. Moreover, even when the flow speed is high enough and the perturbation sufficiently strong such that turbulent flow is established, it can return to the laminar state without any indication of the imminent decay. In this parameter range, the lifetimes of perturbations show a sensitive dependence on initial conditions and an exponential distribution. The turbulence seems to be supported by threedimensional travelling waves which appear transiently in the flow field. The boundary between laminar and turbulent dynamics is formed by the stable manifold of an invariant chaotic state. We also discuss the relation between observations in short, periodically continued domains, and the dynamics in fully extended puffs. 相似文献

Turbulent Boundary Layer Control via a Streamwise Travelling Wave Induced by an External Force

Turbulent boundary layer control via a streamwise travelling wave is investigated based on direct numerical simulation of an incompressible turbulent channel flow. The streamwise travelling wave is induced on one side wall of the channel by a spanwise external force, e.g., Lorenz force, which is con~ned in the viscous sublayer. As the control strategy used in this study has never been examined, we pay our attention to its efficiency of drag control. It is revealed that the propagating direction of the travelling wave, i.e., the downstream or upstream propagating direction with respect to the streamwise flow, has an important role on the drag control, leading to a significant drag reduction or enhancement for the parameters considered. The coherent structures of turbulent boundary layer are altered and the underlying mechanisms are analysed. The results obtained provide physical insight into the understanding of turbulent boundary layer control. 相似文献

The flow structure of strongly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with Reynolds numbers up to Re(i)=2×10(6) of the inner cylinder is experimentally examined with high-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV). The wind Reynolds numbers Re(w) of the turbulent Taylor-vortex flow is found to scale as Re(w)∝Ta(1/2), exactly as predicted by Grossmann and Lohse [Phys. Fluids 23, 045108 (2011).] for the ultimate turbulence regime, in which the boundary layers are turbulent. The dimensionless angular velocity flux has an effective scaling of Nu(ω)∝Ta(0.38), also in correspondence with turbulence in the ultimate regime. The scaling of Nu(ω) is confirmed by local angular velocity flux measurements extracted from high-speed PIV measurements: though the flux shows huge fluctuations, its spatial and temporal average nicely agrees with the result from the global torque measurements. 相似文献

A high-resolution particle image velocimetry was used to characterize a low Reynolds number turbulent flow in a channel. Experiments were conducted over a sand grain-coated surface of large relative roughness, and the results were compared with measurements over a smooth surface. The roughness perturbation significantly modified the outer layer. Even though the streamwise Reynolds stress shows less sensitivity in the outer layer to the boundary condition, significant enhancements were observed in the wall-normal Reynolds stress and the Reynolds shear stress. These modifications were considered as footprints of the larger-scale eddies transporting intense wall-normal motions away from the rough wall. A quadrant decomposition shows that strong and more frequent ejections are responsible for the larger values of the mean Reynolds shear stress over the rough wall. The results also indicate that spanwise vortex cores with mean vorticity of the same sign as the mean shear are the dominant smaller-scale vortical structures over the smooth and rough walls. A linear stochastic estimation-based analysis shows that the average larger-scale structure associated with these vortices is a shear layer that strongly connects the outer layer flow to the near-wall flow. A proper orthogonal decomposition of the flow suggests that the large-scale eddy is more energetic for the rough wall, and contributes more significantly to the resolved turbulent kinetic energy and the Reynolds shear stress than the smooth wall. 相似文献

Direct numerical simulations are carried out to assess the potential drag reduction of compressible turbulent flow between isothermal walls.For the sake of achieving drag reduction,the flow is actively controlled by deformable dimples lying on the bottom wall of the channel.The first stage of the procedure consists in assessing the optimum geometry of the dimples.In this regard,the lower wall is allowed to freely deform itself according to the loop of control.This method is called the smart wall approach in... 相似文献

In the flow around a circular cylinder, a sudden decrease in the drag force occurs at a high Reynolds number, but the same
phenomenon occurs at a lower Reynolds number in the case where there exist grooves or roughness on the circular cylinder surface.
In this paper, in order to make clear the flow characteristics around a circular cylinder in the case of changing the shapes
of grooves, the drag coefficient, pressure distribution, velocity distribution and turbulent distribution were measured. Moreover
the flow around the cylinder was analyzed by applying the RNGk · ∈ turbulent model, and the surface flow pattern was investigated using the oil-film technique. From these results, it is clear
that the drag coefficient of a circular cylinder with triangular grooves decreases by about 15% compared with that of a circular
cylinder with arc grooves. 相似文献

The recently discovered phenomenon of drag anomaly (early crisis) observed for droplets in a two-phase turbulent flow at transition
Reynolds numbers (Re = 10–100) is experimentally supported in the case of a gas flow about a single hard sphere as well. Using
a specially designed torsion balance, the drag force of a foam plastic sphere 3 mm in diameter placed in a blower-produced
turbulent jet is measured. It is found that the turbulence of the flow about the sphere must be high for the drag anomaly
to arise. 相似文献

We present an application of the residual-based variational multiscale turbulence modeling (RBVMS) methodology to the computation of turbulent Taylor–Couette flow at high Reynolds number. We show that the RBVMS formulation globally conserves angular momentum, a feature that is felt to be important for flows dominated by rotation, and that is not shared by standard stabilized formulations of fluid flow. Weak imposition of Dirichlet boundary conditions is employed to enhance the accuracy of the RBVMS framework in the presence of thin turbulent boundary layers near solid walls. Calculation of conservative boundary forces and torques is also presented for the case of weakly enforced boundary conditions. NURBS-based isogeometric analysis is employed for the spatial discretization, and mesh refinement is performed to assess the convergence characteristics of the proposed methodology. Numerical tests show that very accurate results are obtained on relatively coarse grids. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to report large eddy simulation computations of this challenging test case. 相似文献

The promising method of drag reduction with the use of micro-blowing through the streamlined surface has been proposed for its use to the external surface of high-speed train. The advantages of high-speed train as an object of micro-blowing application are introduced. The corresponding RANS-based mathematical model is elaborated, and the computations of the external flow around a long train body are performed. Predictions of the turbulent boundary layer over penetrable surface with different modes of micro-blowing have been presented and analyzed. The developed modifications of mathematical model of turbulence have been used to take into account the micro-blowing influence in the inner region of turbulent boundary layer. The obtained results of parametric analysis of drag reduction depending on the area of permeable sections, intensity of micro-blowing, and high-speed train length have been analyzed. In particular, the dependence between drag reduction effect and length of train body with realized micro-blowing as well as its intensity is established. Realization of micro-blowing with blowing velocity just 0.25 % of train speed (V = 100 m/s) on the 70 % of the streamlined surface area for just one train carriage (L = 25 m) allows one to reduce the aerodynamic drag (including the most actual friction and head-tail pressure components) of the whole train (L = 200 m) by about 5.25 %, so in case of micro-blowing realization on all its 8 carriages, the train’s aerodynamic drag can be reduced approximately by 42 %. 相似文献

Drag reduction by herringbone riblet texture in direct numerical simulations of turbulent channel flow 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A bird-feather-inspired herringbone riblet texture was investigated for turbulent drag reduction. The texture consists of blade riblets in a converging/diverging or herringbone pattern with spanwise wavelength Λf. The aim is to quantify the drag change for this texture as compared to a smooth wall and to study the underlying mechanisms. To that purpose, direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel with height Lz were performed. The Fukagata-Iwamoto-Kasagi identity for drag decomposition was extended to textured walls and was used to study the drag change mechanisms. For Λf/Lz ? O(10), the herringbone texture behaves similarly to a conventional parallel-riblet texture in yaw: the suppression of turbulent advective transport results in a slight drag reduction of 2%. For Λf/Lz ? O(1), the drag increases strongly with a maximum of 73%. This is attributed to enhanced mean and turbulent advection, which results from the strong secondary flow that forms over regions of riblet convergence/divergence. Hence, the employment of convergent/divergent riblets in the texture seems to be detrimental to turbulent drag reduction. 相似文献

Detached eddy simulation (DES) is investigated as a means to study an array of shallow dimples with depth to diameter ratios of 1.5% and 5% in a turbulent channel. The DES captures large-scale flow features relatively well, but is unable to predict skin friction accurately due to flow modelling near the wall. The current work instead relies on the accuracy of DES to predict large-scale flow features, as well as its well-documented reliability in predicting flow separation regions to support the proposed mechanism that dimples reduce drag by introducing spanwise flow components near the wall through the addition of streamwise vorticity. Profiles of the turbulent energy budget show the stabilising effect of the dimples on the flow. The presence of flow separation however modulates the net drag reduction. Increasing the Reynolds number can reduce the size of the separated region and experiments show that this increases the overall drag reduction. 相似文献

The possibility of decreasing the turbulent friction with the use of streamwise-aligned vertical large eddy breakup devices
installed normal to the surface of a flat plate in an incompressible equilibrium turbulent boundary layer with a nominally
gradientless flow past this plate is studied experimentally. The Reynolds number based on the boundary-layer momentum thickness
is 1099 in the cross section where these vertical devices are mounted. It is shown that elements of this geometry are effective
tools for modification of the turbulent boundary layer from the viewpoint of both the gain in friction drag and the suppression
of turbulent fluctuations of velocity and, hence, can be considered as one of the most important factors of controlling the
structure of the near-wall turbulence in the flow past a flat surface. 相似文献
