In this report the results of aerodynamic and heat transfer experimental investigations performed in a high Reynolds number turbine cascade test facility are analyzed. The experimental facility simulates the high Reynolds number flow conditions similar to those encountered in the space shuttle main engine. In order to determine the influence of Reynolds number on aerodynamic and thermal behavior of the blades, heat transfer coefficients were measured at various Reynolds numbers using liquid crystal temperature measurement technique. Potential flow calculation methods were used to predict the cascade pressure distributions. Boundary layer and heat transfer calculation methods were used with these pressure distributions to verify the experimental results.

Abstract Large-eddy simulations are performed to investigate the cavitating flow around two dimensional hydrofoil section with angle of attack of 9° and high Reynolds number of 1.3×106. We use the Schnerr-Sauer model for accurate phase transitions modelling. Instantaneous velocity fields are compared successfully with PIV data using the methodology of conditional averaging to take into account only the liquid phase characteristics as in PIV. The presence of two frequencies in a spectrum corresponding to the full and partial cavity detachments is analysed.

Stabilization of turbulent boundary layer type flows by the action of Coriolis forces engendered by system rotation is studied. Experiments on fully developed, two-dimensional flow in a long, straight channel that was rotated about an axis perpendicular to the plane of mean shear are reviewed to demonstrate the principal effects of stabilization. In particular, the delay of transition to turbulence on the stabilized side of the channel to high Reynolds number (u¯mh/ν) as the rotation number (|Ω|h/u¯m) is increased is demonstrated. A simple method which utilizes the eddy Reynolds number criterion of Bradshaw, is employed to show that rotation-induced suppression of transition may be predicted for the channel flow case. The applicability of the predictive method to boundary layer type flows is indicated.

AbstractWe generalize the POD-based Galerkin method for post-transient flow data by incorporating Navier–Stokes equation constraints. In this method, the derived Galerkin expansion minimizes the residual like POD, but with the power balance equation for the resolved turbulent kinetic energy as an additional optimization constraint. Thus, the projection of the Navier–Stokes equation on to the expansion modes yields a Galerkin system that respects the power balance on the attractor. The resulting dynamical system requires no stabilizing eddy-viscosity term – contrary to other POD models of high-Reynolds-number flows. The proposed Galerkin method is illustrated with two test cases: two-dimensional flow inside a square lid-driven cavity and a two-dimensional mixing layer. Generalizations for more Navier–Stokes constraints, e.g. Reynolds equations, can be achieved in straightforward variation of the presented results.
