Experimental studies on flow visualization and velocity field of compression ramp with different incoming boundary layers

Experimental studies which focus on flow visualization and the velocity field of a supersonic laminar/turbulent flow over a compression ramp were carried out in a Mach 3.0 wind tunnel. Fine flow structures and velocity field structures were obtained via NPLS （nanoparticle-tracer planar laser scattering） and PIV （particle image velocimetry） techniques, time- averaged flow structures were researched, and spatiotemporal evolutions of transient flow structures were analyzed. The flow visualization results indicated that when the ramp angles were 25~, a typical separation occurred in the laminar flow, some typical flow structures such as shock induced by the boundary layer, separation shock, reversed flow and reattachment shock were visible clearly. While a certain extent separation occurred in turbulent flow, the separation region was much smaller. When the ramp angles were 28~, laminar flow separated further, and the separation region expanded evidently, flow structures in the separation region were complex. While a typical separation occurred in turbulent flow, reversed flow structures were significant, flow structures in the separation region were relatively simple. The experimental results of velocity field were corresponding to flow visualization, and the velocity field structures of both compression ramp flows agreed with the flow structures well. There were three layered structures in the U component velocity, and the V component velocity appeared like an oblique ＂v＂. Some differences between these two compression ramp flows can be observed in the velocity profiles of the shear layer and the shearing intensity.

Temporal evolution of the optical path difference of a supersonic turbulent boundary layer

The density distribution of a supersonic turbulent boundary layer is measured with the nanoparticle-based planar laser scattering technique, and the temporal evolution of its optical path difference (OPD) in a short time interval is characterized by proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). Based on the advantage of POD in capturing the energy of a signal, a temporal evolution model is suggested for the POD coefficients of the OPD. In this model, the first few coefficients vary linearly with time, and the others are modeled by Gaussian statistics. As an application, this method is used to compute the shortexposure optical transfer function.     

强梯度复杂流场中的粒子动力学响应试验研究

示踪粒子在(高)超声速流场中的动力学响应是粒子成像测速等粒子示踪测量技术的关键问题之一.现有文献对粒子动力学响应的试验测量往往是通过单个斜激波响应的测量方法.然而,当示踪粒子用于测量高速飞行器发动机内部复杂的激波串流场时,粒子将经历由多道激波导致的速度、压力、黏性等剧烈变化.本文结合目前(高)超声速飞行器的研究热潮,重点关注示踪粒子在应用于发动机内部具有连续激波的复杂流场测量中存在的跟随性评估方面,开展了一系列的相关试验研究.包括测量超声速风洞的喷管出口速度分布以验证测试系统的性能,在马赫4.2和3.0流场中测量了粒子对二维10°和15°单斜劈绕流中的斜激波动力响应,并测量了模拟发动机内部连续梯度的双斜劈粒子斜激波动力响应.结合粒子动力学的理论模型,得到了各状态的粒子弛豫时间、弛豫距离、Stokes数.基于图像方法、统计学规律分析了激波非定常抖动对测量结果的影响,并对测量结果进行了修正.结果显示,相同斜劈角度下,马赫数越高,粒子的弛豫时间、弛豫距离就越大.但是在相同的来流马赫数下,斜劈角度越大,粒子的弛豫时间、弛豫距离反而减小.在强梯度之后由于流场的雷诺数和黏性系数变化剧烈,粒子的跟随性降低了大约5.7%,stokes数增加了约1%.虽然在本文条件下Stokes数仍满足超声速流场对粒子跟随性的要求,但粒子响应的降低无疑是值得关注的,尤其是当其被应用于具有更多连续梯度的复杂流场测量中.     

Flow control of micro-ramps on supersonic forward-facing step flow

The effects of the micro-ramps on supersonic turbulent flow over a forward-facing step(FFS) was experimentally investigated in a supersonic low-noise wind tunnel at Mach number 3 using nano-tracer planar laser scattering(NPLS)and particle image velocimetry(PIV) techniques. High spatiotemporal resolution images and velocity fields of supersonic flow over the testing model were captured. The fine structures and their spatial evolutionary characteristics without and with the micro-ramps were revealed and compared. The large-scale structures generated by the micro-ramps can survive the downstream FFS flowfield. The micro-ramps control on the flow separation and the separation shock unsteadiness was investigated by PIV results. With the micro-ramps, the reduction in the range of the reversal flow zone in streamwise direction is 50% and the turbulence intensity is also reduced. Moreover, the reduction in the average separated region and in separation shock unsteadiness are 47% and 26%, respectively. The results indicate that the micro-ramps are effective in reducing the flow separation and the separation shock unsteadiness.     

超声速混合层中扰动增强混合实验

以基于纳米技术的平面激光散射(nano-based planar laser scattering, NPLS)流动显示技术定性研究了隔板扰动对超声速混合层($Mc=0.5$)的混合增强效果. 首先通过系列实验优化设计了扰动参数. 实验结果表明,超声速混合层对于从隔板引入的扰动非常敏感. 二维扰动的混合强化机制是提前混合层失稳位置,增厚混合层;而三维扰动的混合强化机制主要是通过诱导流向涡和展向运动,促进流动三维性质的发展. 总体而言,三维扰动的混合强化效果优于二维扰动. 由于是超声速混合层,隔板上的扰动片虽然很薄,但同样会引起激波的产生,是该方法中总压损失的主要原因.      

不同光线入射角度下超声速湍流边界层气动光学效应的实验研究

利用基于纳米粒子的平面激光散射技术获取超声速(Ma=3.0)湍流边界层的密度分布,采用光线追迹方法计算其对应的光程差分布,并结合边界层气动光学相似律验证实验结果的可靠性.着重研究了光线入射角度对超声速湍流边界层气动光学效应的影响,并对其内在机理进行了分析.研究表明,气动光学效应对光线入射角度的依赖性源于光线在流场中的传输路径,传输路径的不同导致了光线在流场中的传输距离以及对应密度脉动互相关结果的差异.光线倾斜入射导致其在流场中传输距离增长,进而气动光学效应出现恶化.光线入射方向与壁面垂直方向之间的夹角越大,气动光学效应越显著,而且不同时刻的差异性增加,气动光学效应校正的难度增加.超声速湍流边界层中大量具有特定方向的涡结构导致了湍流边界层气动光学效应的各向异性.当光线倾斜向下游入射时,光线传播方向与流场中的涡结构具有较好的一致性,体现为此方向上密度脉动互相关系数较大,故气动光学效应比较严重.而当光线倾斜向上游入射时,相关系数较小,故气动光学效应较弱.

高超声速三角翼上横流不稳定性的实验研究

本文研究了三角翼迎风面边界层中的非定常横流不稳定性.实验在马赫6低噪声风洞中进行,模型为平板构型,攻角为5°和10°.通过温敏漆技术,观察到在远离头部的区域,边界层转捩阵面光滑且平行于前缘,通过Kulite高频脉动压力传感器得到的功率谱密度曲线中有明显的f≈10 kHz的扰动波信号峰值.利用基于纳米示踪的平面激光散射技术,在平行前缘方向对此区域进行流场可视化,观察到规则的向下游卷起的涡结构,形态与数值模拟中的横流涡形态一致,且涡结构的位置不是固定的,因此该10 kHz的信号为非定常横流波信号.只有在边界层为层流时,才能够观察到明显的10 kHz左右的非定常横流波信号峰值,边界层转捩中或转捩后,脉动压力的功率谱密度曲线为低频成分占主导的宽频分布.提高单位雷诺数,同一压力测点位置得到的横流波幅值先增长至饱和而后衰减.增大攻角时,横流行波幅值增长更加迅速,在较低的雷诺数下就可以增长至饱和.另外,还利用Kulite传感器阵列测量了横流波的相速度和传播角度,文中所测状态下,相速度分布在0.24—0.32倍来流速度之间,传播角度与来流方向夹角在40°—60°之间.并且,增大攻角时,横流波的相速度变...
