Turbulence Generation

The dynamics of separation bubble under the influence of continuous jets ejected near the semi-circular leading edge of a flat plate is presented. Two different streamwise injection angles 30° and 60° and velocity ratios 0.5 and 1 for Re = 25000 and 55000 (based on the leading-edge diameter) are considered here. The flow visualizations illustrating jet and separated layer interactions have been carried out with PIV. The objective of this study is to understand the mutual interactions of separation bubble and the injected jets. It is observed that flow separates at the blending point of semi-circular arc and flat plate. The separated shear layer is laminar up to 20% of separation length after which perturbations are amplified and grows in the second-half of the bubble leading to breakdown and reattachment. Blowing has significantly affected the bubble length and thus, turbulence generation. Instantaneous flow visualizations supports the unsteadiness and development of three-dimensional motions leading to formation of Kelvin-Helmholtz rolls and shedding of large-scale vortices due to jet and bubble interactions. In turn, it has been seen that both the spanwise and streamwise dilution of injected air is highly influenced by the separation bubble.

The experimental study of the effect of weak shock waves on the supersonic boundary layer of the flat plate with a blunt leading edge (the radius of bluntness was r = 2.5 mm) with Mach number M = 2.5 and zero angle of attack was carried out. The measurements were carried out using the constant temperature anemometer. The paper presents a complex flow structure on the surface of the model. High-intensity peaks were found in the regions of the disturbed flow. Also the spectral analysis of perturbations was performed. It is found that the supersonic boundary layer on a flat plate is very sensitive to the effect of weak shock waves.

Heat transfer measurements are made in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions of the two-dimensional air flow on a flat plate with blunt leading edge. The flow reattachment occurs at about four plate thicknesses downstream from the leading edge and the heat transfer coefficient becomes maximum at that point and this is independent of the Reynolds number which ranged from 2720 to 17900 in this investigation. The heat transfer coefficient is found to increase sharply near the leading edge. The development of flow is shown through the measurements of the velocity and temperature in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions.

Turbulence measurements were made in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions of a two-dimensional incompressible air flow over a flat plate with finite thickness and blunt leading edge. In the boundary layer downstream of the reattachment point, Prandtl’s mixing length and turbulent kinetic energy length scale are estimated, and the correlation between the turbulent shear stress and the turbulent kinetic energy is described.

Boundary Layer Interaction

The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations are solved numerically for supersonic flow over a blunt fin mounted on a flat plate. The fin shock causes the boundary layer to separate, which results in a complicated, three-dimensional shock-wave and boundary-layer interaction. The computed results are in good agreement with the mean static pressure measured on the fin and the flat plate. The main features, such as peak pressure on the fin leading edge and a double peak on the plate, are predicted well. The role of the horseshoe vortex is discussed. This vortex leads to the development of high-speed flow and, hence, low-pressure regions on the fin and the plate. Different thicknesses of the incoming boundary layer have been studied. Varying the thicknesses by an order of magnitude shows that the size of the horseshoe vortex and, therefore, the spatial extent of the interaction are dominated by inviscid flow and only weakly dependent on the Reynolds number. Coloured graphics are used to show details of the interaction flow field.

Free Stream Turbulence

Receptivity of the two-dimensional boundary layer on a flat plate with elliptic leading edge is studied by numerical simulation. Vortical perturbations in the oncoming free stream are considered, impinging on two leading edges with different aspect ratio to identify the effect of bluntness. The relevance of the three vorticity components of natural free-stream turbulence is illuminated by considering axial, vertical and spanwise vorticity separately at different angular frequencies. The boundary layer is most receptive to zero-frequency axial vorticity, triggering a streaky pattern of alternating positive and negative streamwise disturbance velocity. This is in line with earlier numerical studies on non-modal growth of elongated structures in the Blasius boundary layer. We find that the effect of leading-edge bluntness is insignificant for axial free-stream vortices alone. On the other hand, vertical free-stream vorticity is also able to excite non-modal instability in particular at zero and low frequencies. This mechanism relies on the generation of streamwise vorticity through stretching and tilting of the vertical vortex columns at the leading edge and is significantly stronger when the leading edge is blunt. It can thus be concluded that the non-modal boundary-layer response to a free-stream turbulence field with three-dimensional vorticity is enhanced in the presence of a blunt leading edge. At high frequencies of the disturbances the boundary layer becomes receptive to spanwise free-stream vorticity, triggering Tollmien–Schlichting (T-S) modes and receptivity increases with leading-edge bluntness. The receptivity coefficients to free-stream vortices are found to be about 15% of those to sound waves reported in the literature. For the boundary layers and free-stream perturbations considered, the amplitude of the T-S waves remains small compared with the low-frequency streak amplitudes.
