Thin Shell Theory

A method is presented to predict the root mean square displacement response of an open curved thin shell structure subjected to a turbulent boundary-layer-induced random pressure field. The basic formulation of the dynamic problem is an efficient approach combining classic thin shell theory and the finite element method. The displacement functions are derived from Sanders’ thin shell theory. A numerical approach is proposed to obtain the total root mean square displacements of the structure in terms of the cross-spectral density of random pressure fields. The cross-spectral density of pressure fluctuations in the turbulent pressure field is described using the Corcos formulation. Exact integrations over surface and frequency lead to an expression for the total root mean square displacement response in terms of the characteristics of the structure and flow. An in-house program based on the presented method was developed. The total root mean square displacements of a curved thin blade subjected to turbulent boundary layers were calculated and illustrated as a function of free stream velocity and damping ratio. A numerical implementation for the vibration of a cylinder excited by fully developed turbulent boundary layer flow was presented. The results compared favorably with those obtained using software developed by Lakis et al.

Wall Pressure Fluctuation

The turbulent boundary layer that forms on the outer surfaces of vehicles can be a significant source of interior noise. In automobiles this is known as wind noise, and at high speeds it dominates the interior noise. For airplanes the turbulent boundary is also a dominant noise source. Because of its importance as a noise source, it is desirable to have a model of the turbulent wall pressure fluctuations for interior noise prediction. One important parameter in building the wall pressure fluctuation model is the convection velocity. In this paper, the phase velocity was determined from the streamwise pressure measurements. The phase velocity was calculated for three separation distances ranging from 0.25 to 1.30 boundary layer thicknesses. These measurements were made for a Mach number range of 0.1 < M < 0.6. The phase velocity was shown to vary with sensor spacing and frequency. The data collapsed well on outer variable normalization. The phase velocities were fit and the group velocity was calculated from the curve fit. The group velocity was consistent with the array measured convection velocities. The group velocity was also estimated by a band limited cross correlation technique that used the Hilbert transform to find the energy delay. This result was consistent with the group velocity inferred from the phase velocities and the array measured convection velocity. From this research, it is suggested that the group velocity found in this study should be used to estimate the convection velocity in wall pressure fluctuation models.

Boundary Layer Interaction

The three-dimensional interactions of weak swept oblique shock and expansion waves and a turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate are investigated. Upstream influences in a single swept interaction are found to be consistent with a model of the flow involving shock/boundary-layer interaction characteristics. The model implies that there is more rapid thickening of the boundary layer close to the shock generator and this is seen to be consistent with surface streamline patterns. It is also found that a superposition principle, which is inherent in the triple-deck model of shock/boundary-layer interactions proposed by Lighthill, can be used to predict the pressure field and surface streamlines for the case of intersecting shock interactions and for the intersection of a shock with a weak expansion.
