基于三角波瓣混合器的超声速流场精细结构和掺混特性

在超声速吸气式混合层风洞中,采用基于纳米粒子的平面激光散射(NPLS)技术对平板混合层和三角波瓣混合器诱导的混合层流场精细结构进行了对比实验研究.上下两层来流的实测马赫数分别为1.98和2.84,对流马赫数为0.2.NPLS图像清晰地展示了Kelvin-Helmholtz涡、流向涡、波系结构以及大尺度涡结构的配对合并过程.通过对比分析时间相关的NPLS流场图像,发现了大尺度拟序结构随时间发展演化的非定常特性.基于流动显示结果,采用分形维数和间歇因子指标对流场结构和混合特性进行了定量分析.实验研究表明,三角波瓣混合器诱导的流向涡结构显著提高了上下两层来流的掺混效率,其流动远场的分形维数突破了平板混合层中完全湍流区的分形维数值,达到了1.88,流场结构表现出明显的破碎性,有利于流动在标量层面的扩散和掺混.流动间歇性分析表明,流向涡与展向涡的相互剪切作用主导着混合层的掺混特性,同时由于流向涡的卷吸作用,三角波瓣混合器诱导的混合层混合区域更大,更多的流质被卷入混合区完成混合.

考虑熵层效应的扫掠激波/湍流边界层干扰特性研究

为了探究熵层对扫掠激波/湍流边界层干扰特性的影响规律,采用仿真方法对尖鳍/钝板物理模型进行研究。结果表明：扫掠激波上游的熵层厚度随着平板前缘钝化半径的增大而增加,同时边界层厚度也随着熵层厚度的增加而增加。熵层的引入并不改变扫掠激波/湍流边界层干扰固有的准锥形相似特性,也不会改变拟锥原点(virtual conical origin, VCO)的位置,仅会改变干扰形成的上游影响线和分离线的角度。扫掠激波/湍流边界层干扰形成的锥形主旋涡和角涡的尺度随着熵层厚度的增加而增大。上游熵层的引入增大了下游扫掠激波/湍流边界层干扰区的总压损失,但扫掠激波/湍流边界层干扰自身造成的相对总压损失并不受上游熵层的影响。     

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.

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.

Forward-facing steps induced transition in a subsonic boundary layer

A forward-facing step (FFS) immersed in a subsonic boundary layer is studied through a high-order flux reconstruction (FR) method to highlight the flow transition induced by the step. The step height is a third of the local boundary-layer thickness. The Reynolds number based on the step height is 720. Inlet disturbances are introduced giving rise to streamwise vortices upstream of the step. It is observed that these small-scale streamwise structures interact with the step and hairpin vortices are quickly developed after the step leading to flow transition in the boundary layer.     

Flow field measurements of leading-edge separation vortex formed on a delta wing with vortex flaps

Wind tunnel tests are carried out using a 70 delta wing model with leading-edge vortex flaps. The structure of the leading-edge separation vortex over the leading-edge vortex flap is measured by use of a 5 holes pitot probe, surface pressure measurement technique and oil flow visualization technique. Separation vortices formed on a plain delta wing, on a vortex flap and inboard the vortex flap hinge line are clearly visualized. Results indicate that the flow around the vortex flaps is classified into several different cross flow patterns. The streamwise flap deflection angle is defined to discuss the vortex flap performance. The optimum lift to drag ratio is attained when the amount of the wing angle of attack is not far different from that of the streamwise flap deflection angle, as long as the vortex flap is deflected modestly.

Effects of roughness elements on bypass transition induced by a circular cylinder wake

Abstract  

The bypass transition of flat-plate boundary layer induced by a circular cylinder wake under the influence of roughness elements is experimentally investigated. The hydrogen-bubble visualization results show that the boundary layer separation occurs upstream of the roughness, and the separated shear layer is incised by roughness to different extent, resulting in different kinds of secondary vortices formed immediately downstream of the roughness. During the evolution of the secondary vortex, two types of instabilities are observed, which are denoted as large- and small-scale instabilities, respectively, according to different spatial scale of the hairpin vortices formed afterward. A merging process of hairpin vortices is also observed when the secondary vortices undergo the small-scale instability, and a potential new transition control strategy based on the present observation is proposed.     

脉冲激励下超音速混合层涡结构的演化机理

采用大涡模拟方法对脉冲激励作用下的超音速混合层流场进行数值模拟,所得结果清晰展示了流场中涡结构的独特生长机理.基于涡核位置提取方法,对超音速混合层流场中涡结构的空间尺寸和瞬时对流速度等动态特性进行了定量计算.通过分析流场中涡结构的动态特性在不同频率脉冲激励下的变化,揭示出受脉冲激励超音速混合层流场中涡结构的演化机理:涡结构的生长不再是依靠相邻涡-涡结构之间的配对与融合,而是通过涡核外围的一串小涡旋结构被依次吸进涡核来实现,且受激励流场中各个涡结构的空间尺寸变化较小;流场中的涡结构数量与脉冲频率成正比例关系,而涡结构的空间尺寸与脉冲频率成反比例关系;涡结构的平均对流速度随脉冲频率的增大而减小.针对受脉冲激励超音速混合层,给出了能够表征涡结构特性与脉冲激励参数之间关系的方程式,即受激励流场中涡结构的平均对流速度与脉冲周期的乘积近似等于流场中涡结构的空间尺寸(涡结构平均直径).     

扰流板作用下湍流/非湍流界面特性

在零压梯度平板湍流边界层流动中安装垂直流向高度为h的扰流板,诱导流场产生横向涡,研究横向涡影响下湍流/非湍流界面特性沿流向的发展。结果表明,在本实验条件下,整个流动经历了从湍流边界层到流动分离和再附,再向湍流边界层恢复的过程。在扰流板下游约18h距离后,扰流板尾迹的影响逐渐衰退,壁面剪切对湍流强度的贡献开始逐渐恢复,在扰流板下游约55h距离后,湍流边界层再次充分发展。与此同时,由于扰流板后流场流动结构拟序性的增强,湍流/非湍流界面的分形维度受扰流板影响而减小,表明脱落涡有使界面多尺度特性、三维性减弱的趋势。此外,界面高度的概率密度分布受扰流板影响呈现显著的右偏,主要与扰流板增强喷射运动强度,使得界面更容易抬升相关。流动结构及界面特性受扰流板影响后的流向演化有同步变化的模式,扰流板对界面特性影响主要集中于（-5~18）h的流向范围。      

Distributed two-dimensional boundary-layer receptivity to non-stationary vortical disturbances in the presence of surface roughness

The distributed (over the longitudinal coordinate) excitation of two-dimensional (2D) Tollmien — Schlichting (TS) waves by weak non-stationary free-stream vortices propagating along the edge of the laminar boundary layer developing over a surface with small-amplitude 2D roughness is examined. The vorticity vector of the free-stream vortices was oriented over the span of the model, i. e., did not depend on the transverse coordinate. The theoretical analysis of the excitation mechanism reported in [1] was refined to develop, around it, a procedure making it possible to experimentally determine the coefficients of distributed vortical receptivity of the flow and the coefficients of “vortex-roughness” receptivity by fitting the experimental distributions with analytical solutions. Under conditions with controllable excitation of disturbances, a detailed hot-wire study of free-stream disturbances and boundary-layer disturbances at several vortex frequencies and at several surface-roughness periods was performed, and the shape of the controllable surface roughness was measured. The point-source method was employed to experimentally examine the characteristics of linear three-dimensional (3D) stability of the flow to TS waves, necessary for determination of the coefficients of distributed receptivity. It was found that the free-stream vortices with transverse orientation of the vorticity vector excited boundary-layer TS waves via two receptivity mechanisms: (a) on the smooth surface (due to natural non-uniformity of the flow) and (b) during interaction of the vortices with the surface roughness. The developed approach was used to experimentally estimate the amplitudes and phases of the coefficients of both types of distributed vortical receptivity as dependent on problem parameters. The absolute values of both types of receptivity coefficients were found to rapidly grow in value with increasing vortex frequency. It is shown that the most efficient excitation of TS waves is observed in the situation with satisfied resonance conditions for streamwise vortex, surface-roughness, and TS-wave streamwise wavenumbers, resulting in strong deviation of the increments of the TS waves from the linear-stability increments. Under no-resonance conditions, only amplitude beats of boundary-layer disturbances were observed.
