ABSTRACTTurbulent airflow in a supersonic intake model of rectangular cross-section is studied numerically. Instability of shock waves formed in the intake and ahead of the entrance is examined. Solutions of the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations are obtained with a finite-volume solver of second-order accuracy. The expulsion and the swallowing of the shocks with a variation of free-stream parameters are studied at both subsonic and supersonic conditions prescribed at the outlet. Hysteresis in the dependence of 2D flow on the free-stream velocity and angle-of-attack is documented. An influence of 3D effects on the flow is examined.

The Difference

The acoustic receptivity due to localized surface suction in a two-dimensional boundary layer is studied using a finite-Reynolds-number theory and direct numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. Detailed comparisons between the two methods are used to determine the bounds for application of the theory. Results show a 4% difference between the methods for receptivity in the neighbourhood of branch I with low suction levels, low acoustic levels, and a moderate frequency; we attribute this difference to non-parallel effects, not included in the theory. The difference is larger for receptivity upstream of branch I, and smaller for receptivity downstream of branch I. As the peak suction level is increased to 1% of the free-stream velocity, the simulations show a nonlinear deviation from the theory. Suction levels as small as 0.1% are shown to have a significant effect on the instability growth between branch I and branch II. Increasing the acoustic amplitude to 1% of the steady free-stream velocity produces no significant nonlinear effect.

Chebyshev Spectral Collocation

The uniform flow past a sphere undergoing steady rotation about an axis transverse to the free stream flow was investigated numerically. The objective was to reveal the effect of sphere rotation on the characteristics of the vortical wake structure and on the forces exerted on the sphere. This was achieved by solving the time-dependent, incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, using an accurate Fourier–Chebyshev spectral collocation method. Reynolds numbers Re of 100, 250 and 300 were considered, which for a stationary sphere cover the axisymmetric steady, non-axisymmetric steady and vortex shedding regimes. The study identified wake transitions that occur over the range of non-dimensional rotational speeds Ω* = 0 to 1.00, where Ω* is the maximum velocity on the sphere surface normalized by the free stream velocity. At Re = 100, sphere rotation triggers a transition to a steady double-threaded structure. At Re = 250, the wake undergoes a transition to vortex shedding for Ω* ≥ 0.08. With an increasing rotation rate, the recirculating region is progressively reduced until a further transition to a steady double-threaded wake structure for Ω* ≥ 0.30. At Re = 300, wake shedding is suppressed for Ω* ≥ 0.50 via the same mechanism found at Re = 250. For Ω* ≥ 0.80, the wake undergoes a further transition to vortex shedding, through what appears to be a shear layer instability of the Kelvin–Helmholtz type.

Tollmien Schlichting

A numerical study of the generation of Tollmien-Schlichting (T–S) waves due to the interaction between a small free-stream disturbance and a small localized variation of the surface geometry has been carried out using both finite–difference and spectral methods. The nonlinear steady flow is of the viscous–inviscid interactive type while the unsteady disturbed flow is assumed to be governed by the Navier–Stokes equations linearized about this flow. Numerical solutions illustrate the growth or decay of the T–S waves generated by the interaction between the free-stream disturbance and the surface distortion, depending on the value of the scaled Strouhal number. An important result of this receptivity problem is the numerical determination of the amplitude of the T–S waves.

AbstractOur concern in this paper is with high-Reynolds-number nonlinear equilibrium solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for boundary-layer flows. Here we consider the asymptotic suction boundary layer (ASBL) which we take as a prototype parallel boundary layer. Solutions of the equations of motion are obtained using a homotopy continuation from two known types of solutions for plane Couette flow. At high Reynolds numbers, it is shown that the first type of solution takes the form of a vortex–wave interaction (VWI) state, see Hall & Smith (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 227, 1991, pp. 641–666), and is located in the main part of the boundary layer. On the other hand, here the second type is found to support an equilibrium solution of the unit-Reynolds-number Navier–Stokes equations in a layer located a distance of $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}O(\ln \mathit{Re})$ from the wall. Here $\mathit{Re}$ is the Reynolds number based on the free-stream speed and the unperturbed boundary-layer thickness. The streaky field produced by the interaction grows exponentially below the layer and takes its maximum size within the unperturbed boundary layer. The results suggest the possibility of two distinct types of streaky coherent structures existing, possibly simultaneously, in disturbed boundary layers.

Singular Boundary Method

The paper presents the use of the dual reciprocity multidomain singular boundary method (SBMDR) for the solution of the laminar viscous flow problem described by Navier-Stokes equations. A homogeneous part of the solution is solved using a singular boundary method with the 2D Stokes fundamental solution - Stokeslet. The dual reciprocity approach has been chosen because it is ideal for the treatment of the nonhomogeneous and nonlinear terms of Navier-Stokes equations. The presented SBMDR approach to the solution of the 2D flow problem is demonstrated on a standard benchmark problem - lid-driven cavity.

Navier Stokes Equations

The Navier-Stokes equations have been solved in order to obtain an analytical solution of the fully developed laminar flow in a duct having a rectangular cross section with two opposite equally porous walls. We obtained solutions both for the case of steady flow as well as for the case of oscillating pressure gradient flow. The pulsating flow is obtained by the superposition of the steady and oscillating pressure gradient solutions. The solution has applications for blood flow in fiber membranes used for the artificial kidney.

Similarity equations, using an assumed transformation which reduces the partial differential equations to sets of ordinary differential equations, are obtained from the boundary layer and the complete Navier-Stokes equations for the interaction of vortex flows with free stream sink flows and a stationary surface. Solutions to the boundary layer equations for the case of the potential vortex that satisfy the prescribed boundary conditions are shown to be nonexistent using the assumed transformation. Direct numerical integration is used to obtain solutions to the complete Navier-Stokes equations under a potential vortex with equal values of tangential and radial free stream velocities. Solutions are found for Reynolds numbers up to 2.0.

Two Dimensional Flow

A projection approach is presented for the coupled system of time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) for solving fluid flow problems in the presence of rigid objects not represented by the underlying mesh. The IBM allows solving the flow for geometries with complex objects without the need of generating a body fitted mesh. The no-slip boundary constraint is satisfied applying a boundary force at the immersed body surface. Using projection and interpolation operators from the fluid volume mesh to the solid surface mesh (i.e., the “immersed” boundary) and vice versa, it is possible to impose the extra constraint to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations as a Lagrange multiplier in a fashion very similar to the effect pressure has on the momentum equations to satisfy the divergence-free constraint. The projection operation removes the immersed boundary surface slip and non-divergence-free components of the velocity field. The boundary force is determined implicitly at the inner iterations of the fractional step method implemented. No constitutive relations for the immersed boundary objects fluid interaction are required, allowing the formulation introduced to use larger CFL numbers compared to previous methodologies. An overview of the immersed boundary approach is presented showing third order accuracy in space and second order accuracy in time when the simulation results for the Taylor-Green decaying vortex are compared to the analytical solution using the Immersed Finite Element Method (IFEM). For the Immersed Finite Volume Method (IFVM) a ghost-cell approach is used. Second order accuracy in space and first order accuracy in time are obtained when the Taylor-Green decaying vortex test case is compared to the analytical solution. The numerical results are compared with the analytical solution also for adaptive mesh refinement (for the IFEM) showing an excellent error reduction. Computations were performed using IFEM and IFVM approaches for the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional flow past a stationary circular cylinder at Re = 20, and 40, where shedding effects are not present. The drag coefficient and the recirculation length error compared to the experimental data is less than 3–4%. Simulations for the two-dimensional flow past a stationary circular cylinder at Re = 100 were also performed. For Re numbers above 46, unsteadiness generates vortex shedding, and an unsteady flow regime is present. The results shown are in excellent quantitative and qualitative agreement with the flow pattern expected. The numerical results obtained with the discussed IFEM and IFVM were also compared against other immersed boundary methodologies available in literature and simulation performed with the commercial computational fluid dynamics code STAR-CCM+/V5.02.009 for which a body fitted finite volume numerical discretization was used. The benchmark showed that the numerical results obtained with the implemented immersed boundary methods are very close to those obtained from STAR-CCM+ with a very fine mesh and in a good agreement with the other IBM techniques. The IBM based of finite element approach is numerically more accurate than the IBM based on finite volume discretization. In contrast, the latter is computationally more efficient than the former.

Shedding Frequency

The separation of a two-dimensional laminar boundary layer under the influence of a suddenly imposed external adverse pressure gradient was studied by time-accurate numerical solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. It was found that a strong adverse pressure gradient created periodic vortex shedding from the separation. The general features of the time-averaged results were similar to experimental results for laminar separation bubbles. Comparisons were made with the ‘steady’ separation experiments of Gaster (1966). It was found that his ‘bursting’ occurs under the same conditions as our periodic shedding, suggesting that bursting is actually periodic shedding which has been time-averaged. The Strouhal number based on the shedding frequency, local free-stream velocity, and boundary-layer momentum thickness at separation was independent of the Reynolds number and the pressure gradient. A criterion for onset of shedding was established. The shedding frequency was the same as that predicted for the most amplified linear inviscid instability of the separated shear layer.
