NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF EVOLUTION OF DISTURBANCES IN SUPERSONIC SHARP CONE BOUNDARY LAYERS

The spatial evolution of 2-D disturbances in supersonic sharp cone boundary layers was investigated by direct numerical simulation (DNS) in high order compact difference scheme. The results suggested that, although the normal velocity in the sharp cone boundary layer was not small, the evolution of amplitude and phase for small amplitude disturbances would be well in accordance with the results obtained by the linear stability theory (LST) which supposes the flow was parallel. The evolution of some finite amplitude disturbances was also investigated, and the characteristic of the evolution was shown. Shocklets were also found when the amplitude of disturbances increased over some value.

超音速后掠椭圆柱横流定常涡的不稳定特性及转捩预测

实验发现,一定条件下超声速后掠圆柱的前半圆上可能发生定常涡引起的转捩.为了模拟高空超音速飞行器后掠翼前缘,以无限展向长度后掠椭圆柱为模型,基于eN方法,根据积分的N值,分析了迎风轴长度、Reynolds(雷诺)数、后掠角和Mach(马赫)数等参数的变化对超音速后掠椭圆柱横流定常涡不稳定性的影响.研究结果表明,后掠椭圆柱的迎风轴长度增加,会使横流定常涡的不稳定性增强;Reynolds数增大,使横流定常涡模态的不稳定性增强;不稳定性的强度与Reynolds数的大小为近似线性关系;飞行高度增加,Mach数变大,使横流定常涡的不稳定性变弱;后掠角在一定范围内的变化对横流定常涡的不稳定性影响不大.这些结果有助于提高对高空超音速飞行器翼前缘转捩机理的认识,为横流转捩预测提供理论指导     

小攻角高超声速钝锥边界层中不同扰动对转捩的影响

为了研究上游不同扰动对转捩位置的影响,针对来流Ma=6,攻角1°,半锥角5°的钝锥边界层的转捩进行了数值模拟．首先研究了边界层中小扰动的演化,与流动稳定性理论进行了对比,结果表明:在所考虑的流场中,流动稳定性线性理论可以对扰动的增长率做出一个较好的预测．在此基础上,研究了不同扰动对转捩位置的影响．计算给出了在两种不同频率分布的扰动情况下,转捩位置沿周向的分布．结果表明,转捩位置沿周向分布与入口扰动的幅值和频率有关．某子午面的转捩位置由该处的最不稳定波在入口的幅值决定．根据大多数风洞中背景扰动的特性,解释了小攻角圆锥转捩实验中背风面先转捩,迎风面后转捩的现象．同时,还解释了在背风面附近转捩位置“凹陷”的现象．     

锥体效应对超音速湍流边界层统计特性的影响

通过直接数值模拟,计算了空间模式下,来流马赫数为2.5, 半锥角为$5^{\circ}$, 零攻角的绝热钝锥湍流边界层,研究了湍流的统计特性,并把结果与超音速平板湍流边界层和马赫数为6的高超音速钝锥湍流边界层的结果进行了比较,重点定量地考察了锥体效应对边界层湍流统计特性的影响. 研究发现,锥体效应对平均温度剖面以及压缩性的影响是显著的;而其它统计量,比如速度壁面律、雷诺应力的分布和湍动能各项的贡献等,受锥体效应的影响很小.

Nonlinear evolution of Klebanoff type second mode disturbances in supersonic flat-plate boundary layer简

Studying the evolution of 3D disturbances is of crucial theoretical importance for understanding the transition process. The present study concerns the nonlinear evolution of second mode unstable disturbances in a supersonic boundary layer by the numerical simulation, and discusses the selectivity of 3D disturbances and possibility to transition. The results indicate that a Klebanoff type nonlinear interaction between 2D and 3D disturbances with the same frequency may amplify a band of 3D disturbances centered at a finite spanwise wavenumber. That is, certain 3D disturbances can be selectively and rapidly amplified by the unstable 2D disturbances, and certain small-scale 3D structures will appear.     

On the eddy viscosity model of periodic turbulent shear flows

Physical argument shows that eddy viscosity is essentially different from molecular viscosity. By direct numerical simulation, it was shown that for periodic turbulent flows, there is phase difference between Reynolds stress and rate of strain. This finding posed great challenge to turbulence modeling, because most turbulence modeling, which use the idea of eddy viscosity, do not take this effect into account.

明渠层流失稳与沙纹成因机理研究

动床水流中,泥沙起动之后,往往要出现沙纹,沙纹成因各家的解释不一。白玉川,罗纪生的观点是:沙纹的尺度较小,主要是由于明渠层流不稳定性波或床面近壁流层中小尺度拟序结构发展演化所致。当床面边界附近扰动波或拟序结构以及水流自身所产生的床面底部切应力大于Shields切应力后,床面即产生响应,形成沙纹;如果扰动所产生的扰动切应力频率接近床面泥沙固有频率,则产生与泥沙颗粒的共振,这种现象也称之为“泥沙的检波性质”,此时床面发生最大响应,沙纹发展速度也最快。
