Book Description
An examination of the Reynolds equations for axisymmetric turbulent flow where the thickness of the boundary layer is of the same order as the transverse radius of curvature of the surface shows that neither the boundary layer nor the potential flow outside it may be calculated independently of the other, owing to significant interactions between the two flow regimes. Following a discussion of various procedures for extending conventional thin boundary-layer calculation methods to treat thick axisymmetric turbulent boundary-layers, a method is proposed for the simultaneous solution of the boundary layer and the potential flow equations, allowing the two flow regimes to interact. (Author Modified Abstract).

Thick Axisymmetric Turbulent Boundary Layer and Wake of a Low-drag Body

ISBN:
Category : Turbulent boundary layer
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Detailed measurements of pressure distributions, mean velocity profiles and Reynolds stresses were made in the thick, axisymmetric boundary layer and the near wake of a low-drag body of revolution. These measurements shed some light on the joint influence of transverse and longitudinal surface curvatures and pressure gradients on the boundary-layer development and on the manner in which an axisymmetric boundary layer becomes a fully-developed wake. The present data have been used to provide an independent check on the accuracy of the simple integral method proposed by Patel, and its extension to the calculation of the near wake made by Nakayama, Patel and Landweber. Calculations have also been performed using the differential equations of the thick axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer and a rate equation for the Reynolds stress derived from the turbulent kinetic-energy equation along the lines suggested by Bradshaw and others. It is shown that the boundary layer in the tail region of a body of revolution is dominated by the extra strain rates arising from longitudinal and transverse surface curvatures. A new differential method is incorporated into the iterative procedure developed by Nakayama, Patel and Landweber for the solution of the interaction between the boundary layer, the wake and the external inviscid flow. The results of the iterative method have been compared with the experimental data obtained from the present low-drag body and those obtained earlier on a modified spheroid to demonstrate agreement.

Thick Axisymmetric Turbulent Boundary Layer and Near Wake of a Low-drag Body of Revolution

ISBN:
Category : Turbulent boundary layer
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Detailed measurements of pressure distributions, mean velocity profiles and Reynolds stresses were made in the thick, axisymmetric boundary layer and the near wake of a low-drag body of revolution. The data are presented in graphical as well as tabular form for convenience in later analysis. These measurements shed some light on the joint influence of transverse and longitudinal surface curvatures and pressure gradients on the boundary-layer development and on the manner in which an axisymmetric boundary layer becomes a fully-developed wake. Apart from giving a complete set of data on such an important flow configuration, the measurements should provide a fairly rigorous test case for some of the recent turbulence closure models which claim a level of generality not achieved by the older phenomenological models. By inclusion of recently proposed modifications to account for the effects of the extra rates of strain on the turbulence length scale arising from longitudinal and transverse surface curvatures, it is shown that the boundary layer in the tail region of a body of revolution is dominated by the extra strain rates and that more research is needed to account for them properly even in the most recent calculation procedures.

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
The emphasis of this book is on engineering aspects of fluid turbulence. The book explains for example how to tackle turbulence in industrial applications. It is useful to several disciplines, such as, mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace engineers and also to professors, researchers, beginners, under graduates and post graduates. The following issues are emphasized in the book: - Modeling and computations of engineering flows: The author discusses in detail the quantities of interest for engineering turbulent flows and how to select an appropriate turbulence model; Also, a treatment of the selection of appropriate boundary conditions for the CFD simulations is given. - Modeling of turbulent convective heat transfer: This is encountered in several practical situations. It basically needs discussion on issues of treatment of walls and turbulent heat fluxes. - Modeling of buoyancy driven flows, for example, smoke issuing from chimney, pollutant discharge into water bodies, etc
