Vortex Packets in Turbulent Boundary Layers with Application to High Reynolds Number Effects, Isolated and Patterned Roughness, Near Wall Modeling and Strategies for Drag Reduction
Author:

Pages : 16
Book Description
The scientific goals of this work are to develop a complete physical model of turbulence in wall boundary layers and to develop means of describing and modeling surface roughness effect. We make use of recent developments in our understanding of the mechanistic structure of near wall turbulence for smooth walls at low Reynolds numbers to understand how large Reynolds number and wall roughness affect turbulence. We build upon experimental and computational evidence from smooth walls to extend the mechanistic picture of turbulence based on a paradigm of hierarchy of hairpin packets to high Reynolds number, when roughness effect increases in importance. Both experimental measurements of velocity field in smooth and rough walls and direct numerical simulations of evolution and interaction of hairpin vortices are used.

Rough Wall Turbulent Boundary Layers
Author: Anthony Edward Perry
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Boundary layer
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
The paper describes a detailed experimental study of turbulent boundary layer development over rough walls in both zero and adverse pressure gradients. Skin friction was determined by pressure tapping the roughness elements and measuring their form drag. Two wall roughness geometries were chosen each giving a different law of behaviour. However, it has been found that results for both types of roughness correlate with a Reynolds number based on wall shear velocity and on the distance below the crests of the elements from which the logarithmic distribution of velocity is measured. One important implication of this is that a zero pressure gradient boundary layer with a cavity type rough wall conforms to Rotta's condition of precise self preserving flow. (Author).

The Thermal and Hydrodynamic Behavior of Thick, Rough-wall, Turbulent Boundary Layers
Author: P. M. Ligrani
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Frictional resistance (Hydrodynamics)
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Thick, fully rough, and transitionally rough turbulent boundary layers were studied in order to investigate the differences between fully rough and transitionally rough behavior and to observe how downstream development affects these flows as the boundary layers become very thick. Measurements included Stanton numbers, skin friction coefficients, mean temperature and velocity profiles, Reynolds stress tensor component profiles, and spectra of the longitudinal velocity fluctuations. Predictions of wall heat transfer, wall shear, and mean profiles were made using a mixing-length and turbulent Prandtl number closure scheme which accounted for the effects of wall roughness in the boundary layer equations. The turbulent layers were artificially thickened using an array of solid obstacles which produced a two-dimensional equilibrium flow field with properties representative of natural bounday layers, at least up to the level of the turbulent correlations on a smooth wall, and to the level of the spectra of longitudinal velocity fluctuations on a rough wall. A rough-wall boundary layer environment was provided in which all measurements of lower order than the turbulence correlations could be discussed regarding the influence of roughness, and considered to have properties representative of natural behavior.

Near Wall Velocity and Vorticity Measurements, In A Very High R(theta) Turbulent Boundary Layer
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
Velocity and vorticity measurements have been obtained at two y+ values: 810 and 2,150, in the very high R(theta)(O 10(exp 6)) turbulent boundary layer at the SLTEST site, Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah. Detailed descriptions of the experimental procedures are reported in order to allow the processed results to be evaluated. The research focus is on the velocity-vorticity products that appear in the formal statement of the vertical gradient of the kinematic Reynolds stress. Statistical data for the velocity and vorticity fields are presented. The cospectra for v(omega)z and w(omega)y show the unexpected result that intermediate wave numbers provide the majority of the contributions to these products.

Analysis of Turbulent Boundary Layers
Author: Tuncer Cebeci
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323151051
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Analysis of Turbulent Boundary Layers focuses on turbulent flows meeting the requirements for the boundary-layer or thin-shear-layer approximations. Its approach is devising relatively fundamental, and often subtle, empirical engineering correlations, which are then introduced into various forms of describing equations for final solution. After introducing the topic on turbulence, the book examines the conservation equations for compressible turbulent flows, boundary-layer equations, and general behavior of turbulent boundary layers. The latter chapters describe the CS method for calculating two-dimensional and axisymmetric laminar and turbulent boundary layers. This book will be useful to readers who have advanced knowledge in fluid mechanics, especially to engineers who study the important problems of design.
