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.

Separated And Reattached Flow

Turbulent shear stress and heat flux were measured with a hot-wire anemometer in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions of a two-dimensional incompressible air flow over a flat plate of finite thickness having blunt leading edge. The characteristic features of the turbulent heat flux are found to be nearly equal to those of the turbulent shear stress in the separated and reattached flow regions. However, in the turbulent boundary layer downstream from the reattachment point, the development of turbulent heat flux appears to be much quicker than that of turbulent shear stress. Eddy diffusivities of momentum and heat are evaluated and then the turbulent Prandtl number is estimated in the thermal layer downstream of reattachment. These results are compared with the available previous data.

Velocity, pressure, and turbulence measurements were made in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions of a two-dimensional incompressible flow over a flat plate with finite thickness and blunt leading edge. Flow characteristics, such as the reattachment length and the flow pattern in the separated region, were determined. The boundary layer characteristics of the flow downstream of the reattachment point are presented through various experimental results.

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.

Order Of Magnitude

This paper presents some recent theoretical results on the energy exchange between a swimming flexible two-dimensional hydrofoil of finite profile thickness and the inviscid incompressible fluid in which the body swims. The rate at which kinetic energy is transferred to the fluid by the undulating hydrofoil, the power required to maintain the prescribed motion, and the resulting power available for propulsion are calculated in terms of the thickness to chord ratio and the displacement and rate of displacement of the hydrofoil. With a small unsteady perturbation theory, the analysis is decomposed to show separately the effects of the circulatory and non-circulatory flows, both depending on the first-order terms of the unsteady perturbation velocity components. In addition, an analysis is presented showing the effect of the non-linear unsteady pressure distribution on the surface of the hydrofoil. Contrary to what might be expected, this latter effect is of the same order of magnitude for a thick rounded-nose profile as for the flat plate where the effect is concentrated at the sharp leading edge and is related to the so-called suction force. However, except for small values of the reduced frequency, the non-linear contribution is negligible in comparison with the linear contribution.New functions associated with the retarded flow in the wake are introduced and special techniques for their solution are presented, these being related to Theodorsen's function of unsteady airfoil theory for the special case of the undulating flat plate.The numerical results reveal that the kinetic energy imparted to the fluid, the power required to maintain the motion, and the resulting propulsive power, follow closely those of an infinitesimal model for small values of the reduced frequency of oscillation, but diverge somewhat from the classical thin plate analysis for large reduced frequencies. Of particular interest is the fact that a very large percentage of the power required to maintain the motion is used in the generation of the wake, whereas a very small percentage of the power available for propulsion comes from the wake. This indicates that, if some mechanism could be devised to control the wake, very high swimming efficiencies could be attained. Fish, in all probability, have been succeeding in doing this for millions of years.

Averaged Model

The intermittency profile in the turbulent flat-plate zero pressure-gradient boundary-layer and a thick axisymmetric boundary-layer has been computed using the Reynolds-averaged k−ε−γ model, where k denotes turbulent kinetic energy, ε its rate of dissipation, and γ intermittency. The Reynolds-averaged model is simpler compared to the conditional model used in the literature. The dissipation equation of the Reynolds-averaged model is modified to account for the effect of entrainment. It has been shown that the model correctly predicts the observed intermittency of the flows. [S0098-2202(00)02403-2]

Good Agreement

This note presents measurements of radial and axial distributions of mean velocity, turbulent intensities and kinetic energy as well as radial distributions of the turbulent shear stress in the initial region of a turbulent air jet issuing from a long round pipe into still air. The pipe flow is transformed relatively smoothly into a jet flow. In the core subregion the mean centre-line velocity decreases slightly. The highest turbulence occurs at an axial distance of about 6d and radius of (0·7 to 0·8)d. On the axis the highest turbulent kinetic energy appears at a distance of (7·5 to 8·5)d. Normalized distributions of the turbulent quantities are in good agreement with known data on the developed region of jets issuing from short nozzles.
