Driven by the need to control flow separations in highly loaded compressors, a numerical investigation is carried out to study the control effect of wavy blades in a linear compressor cascade. Two types of wavy blades are studied with wavy blade-A having a sinusoidal leading edge, while wavy blade-B having pitchwise sinusoidal variation in the stacking line. The influence of wavy blades on the cascade performance is evaluated at incidences from −1° to +9°. For the wavy blade-A with suitable waviness parameters, the cascade diffusion capacity is enhanced accompanied by the loss reduction under high incidence conditions where 2D separation is the dominant flow structure on the suction surface of the unmodified blade. For well-designed wavy blade-B, the improvement of cascade performance is achieved under low incidence conditions where 3D corner separation is the dominant flow structure on the suction surface of the baseline blade. The influence of waviness parameters on the control effect is also discussed by comparing the performance of cascades with different wavy blade configurations. Detailed analysis of the predicted flow field shows that both the wavy blade-A and wavy blade-B have capacity to control flow separation in the cascade but their control mechanism are different. For wavy blade-A, the wavy leading edge results in the formation of counter-rotating streamwise vortices downstream of trough. These streamwise vortices can not only enhance momentum exchange between the outer flow and blade boundary layer, but also act as the suction surface fence to hamper the upwash of low momentum fluid driven by cross flow. For wavy blade-B, the wavy surface on the blade leads to a reduction of the cross flow upwash by influencing the spanwise distribution of the suction surface static pressure and guiding the upwash flow.

Experimental studies on heat transfer and flow structure in confined impingement jets were performed. The objective of this study was to investigate the detailed heat transfer coefficient distribution on the jet impingement target surface and flow structure in the confined cavity. The distribution of heat transfer coefficients on the target surface was obtained by employing the transient liquid crystal method coupled with a 3-D inverse transient conduction scheme under Reynolds number ranging from 1039 to 5175. The results show that the average heat transfer coefficients increased linearly with the Reynolds number as Nu = 0.00304 Pr0.42Re. The effects of cross flow on heat transfer were investigated. The flow structure were analyzed to gain insight into convective heat transfer behavior.

The objective of this study is to characterize the velocity, vorticity, wall pressure fluctuations and resulting structural vibrations caused by injection of a round, turbulent jet into a turbulent boundary layer. The experiments are performed in a quiet water channel with back ground noise well below the local pressure fluctuations. One of the channel walls is replaced by a vibration isolated, 1m long, aluminum plate from which the 1cm-diameter jet is injected. The cross flow velocity is fixed at 2 m/s and the velocity ratio, r (ratio of mean jet velocity to the cross flow), varies from 0.5 to 2.5 and Re based on cross flow and jet diameter is 20,000. High-resolution PIV is used to measure the flow field and high sensitivity, low-noise pressure sensors are used for the wall pressure measurements. The flush-mounted transducers are installed at several locations ranging from 2–15 diameters behind the jet. Auto-spectra of the pressure signals show that the effect of the jet is in the 15–100Hz range, and increase the wall pressure levels by 25dB for r=2.5. The fluctuations increase with velocity ratio and decrease with distance from the jet, although there is only a 6dB increase in overall levels at r=2.5 as compared to r=1. Hilbert-Huang “amplitude” spectrum shows the frequency content of the signal as it evolves in time, and is found to be a useful tool to characterize such unsteady phenomena. Velocity and pressure measurements have been performed simultaneously and thousands of frames have been recorded. Analysis of these frames demonstrates the relationship between the wall pressure fluctuations and the vortical structures. Several striking differences in the flow structure between high and low velocity ratios are described in the paper. Acceleration measurements describe the effect of the jet and cross flow on the vibrations of the side-wall. Cross flow boundary layer dominates structural vibrations below 1000Hz, and jet velocity effects are visible at 1000Hz–2000Hz. At higher jet velocities effects are seen even below 1000Hz and large narrow band frequency peaks occur. (CD ROM version includes color figures).
