Mean-flow measurements of a turbulent mixing layer from helium slot injection into a supersonic airstream

Kwok, Fei Thomas January 1989 (has links)
This investigation studies the mixing in a shear layer developed from helium slot injection into a parallel supersonic airstream and compares the results to those of previous slot-injection tests. The objectives of this study include documenting the helium slot-injection flowfield; providing a baseline for use as a reference for future work; contributing representative and consistent data to the general database; and increasing understanding of shear layer dynamics, especially as a result of foreign-gas injection. The helium injectant exits the slot at y = 1.67, M₋₁ = 1.78, P<sub>u</sub> = 0.892 atm, and T<sub>u</sub> = 287° K tangentially to an airstream at y = 1.4, M<sub>∞</sub>= 3, P<sub>t∞</sub>= 6.5 atm, and T<sub>t∞</sub>= 282° K. The freestream has Re/cm = 5.4x10⁵ and a boundary-layer thickness of (δ<sub>au</sub>/H) = 0.58. The pertinent ratios are (P₁/P<sub>∞</sub>) = 0.838, (U₁/U<sub>∞</sub>) = 2, and (P₁/P<sub>∞</sub>) = 0.1. The slot height H is 1.21 cm. Along with short-duration Schlieren and Shadowgraph photography, concentration, Pitot, cone-static, and stagnation-temperature measurements are taken at each of four streamwise stations (x H = 0.3, 4.2, 10.5, 21.1) to document the development of the mixing layer. ln light of the binary-gas mixture, local concentration information is required to reduce the data to pertinent mean-flow variables (M, p, U, pU, P, and T). As expected, slot injection in general shows poor initial penetration of the injectant into the freestream, and, thus, poor initial mixing. Nevertheless, the helium case shows better mixing than a similar air injection case of a previous experiment, as the mixing shear layer grows 25 percent larger than that in the air case by the last station. Also, about 30 percent more freestream air is entrained into the shear layer in the helium case and is confined mainly to the top third of the mixing layer. The higher mixing rate stems from larger gradients in velocity and density and lower pU values which result in more active transport mechanisms in the helium injection test / Master of Science

Breakup Behaviour Of Liquid Sheets Discharging From Gas Centered Swirl Coaxial Atomizers

Kulkarni, Varun 06 1900 (has links)
This thesis aims at studying the breakup of swirling liquid sheets discharging from the outer orifice of gas centered swirl coaxial atomizers. Such atomizers are considered as propellant injection systems for semi-cryogenic liquid rocket engines. A gas centered swirl coaxial type atomizer discharges an annular swirling liquid sheet which is atomized by a gaseous jet issuing from the central orifice of the atomizer. The primary objectives of this work were to understand the fluid dynamic interaction process between the outer liquid sheet and the central gas jet and its role on the breakup process of the liquid sheet. Cold flow experiments were carried out by constructing custom made gas centered swirl coaxial atomizers. Two different atomizer configurations with varying swirl effect were studied. The jets were injected into ambient atmospheric air medium with tap water and air as experimental fluids. The flow conditions were described in terms of Weber number (Wel) and Reynolds number (Reg) for liquid sheet and the air jet respectively. Spray images were captured by employing an image acquisition system comprising a high resolution digital camera and a strobe lamp. The captured spray images at different combinations of Wel and Reg were analyzed to extract quantitative measurements of breakup length (Lb), spray cone angle (θs), spray width (SW) and two-dimensional surface profile of liquid sheets. Quantitative analysis of the variation of Lb with Reg with different values of Wel suggested that low inertia liquid sheets undergo an efficient breakup process. High inertia liquid sheets ignore the presence of central air jet at lower values of Reg however undergo air jet breakup at higher values of Reg. Qualitative analysis of experimental observations revealed that the entrainment process, established between the inner surface of the liquid sheet and the boundary of central jet, triggers the air assisted sheet breakup by drawing the liquid sheet closer to the spray axis. The entrainment process may be developing corrugations on the surface of liquid sheet which promotes the production of thick liquid ligaments from the sheet surface. The level of surface corrugations on the liquid sheet, quantified by means of tortuosity of liquid sheet profile, increases with increasing Reg. Limited studies on the effect of variation swirl intensity on the air assisted breakup process of liquid sheets did not show any significant influence for the atomizers examined in the present work.

Ventilation par mélange utilisant des dispositifs de diffusion munis d’inserts lobés : analyse des écoulements moteurs et du confort thermique induit / Mixing ventilation using air diffusion devices equipped with lobed inserts : airflow pattern and induced thermal comfort analysis

Bragança, Pierre 05 October 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur la ventilation par mélange à haute induction pour le bâtiment au moyen de diffuseurs d’air innovants munis de promoteurs de tourbillons. Il s’agit d’inserts lobés, introduits au sein de diffuseurs d’air commerciaux, sans en modifier le processus de fabrication. L’innovation est née de travaux antérieurs et a fait récemment l’objet d’un brevet européen. Sa mise en situation à l’échelle 1 en conditions typiques de chauffage et de climatisation, constitue l’objectif premier des présents travaux. Par une démarche expérimentale, l’impact des inserts lobés sur la topologie de l’écoulement moteur, sur le confort thermique induit en zone d’occupation d’une cellule climatique thermiquement gardée, et sur les pertes de charges et le bruit générés, sont évalués. Les écoulements moteurs sont analysés par PIV 2D2C grand champ, et le confort thermique est évalué en zone d’occupation à l'aide d’un ensemble de capteurs ponctuels de vitesse et de température et du modèle PMV/PPD de Fanger. Les résultats montrent que les inserts lobés introduits dans le diffuseur, favorisent le mélange du jet qui en est issu avec l’air ambiant à traiter. Le confort thermique en zone d’occupation est amélioré de façon significative, par rapport au cas de référence du même diffuseur sans inserts. L’impact des inserts sur l’acoustique et les pertes de charges n’est pas significatif, ce qui valide l’innovation pour son application immédiate dans le bâtiment. En dernière partie, nous avons comparé la performance des diffuseurs innovants munis d’inserts lobés au diffuseur vortex, présenté sur le marché de la diffusion de l’air comme étant doté d’une grande capacité de mélange, suite à la mise en rotation du jet à l’aide d’ailettes profilées. Les résultats ont montré que l’encastrement au plafond du diffuseur vortex préconisé par le fabricant, dont il résulte l’adhérence immédiate du jet par effet Coanda, inhibe le mouvement de rotation escomptée, et sa performance dans ces conditions est inférieure à celle du diffuseur à inserts lobés. Il résulte de ce constat, la nécessité d’une installation du diffuseur vortex sur conduite apparente pour que sa performance soit réelle ; cela est envisageable pour des locaux commerciaux ou industriels de grande hauteur sous plafond. Les diffuseurs lobés encastrés au plafond, dont on a ainsi démontré la performance, sont parfaitement adaptés aux espaces de bureaux ou d’habitations de faibles hauteurs sous-plafond, et répondent par conséquent au réel besoin de la haute induction dans ce type de locaux. / This thesis deals with high-induction mixing ventilation for buildings using innovative air diffusers equipped with vortex promoters. These are lobed inserts, introduced into commercial air diffusers, without modifying the manufacturing process. The innovation was born from previous work and has recently been the subject of an European patent. The first objective of the present work is to conduct full scale experiments under typical heating and air conditioning conditions. By an experimental approach, the impact of the lobed inserts on the airflow and jet pattern, on the thermal comfort induced in the occupied zone of a thermally guarded climate chamber, and on the pressure drop and the noise generation. Airflow pattern is analyzed by large scale PIV 2D2C, and thermal comfort is evaluated in the occupied zone using a set of temperature and speed sensors and Fanger's PMV / PPD model. The results show that the lobed inserts introduced into the diffusers enhance the mixing between the jet and ambient air whose to be treated. The thermal comfort in the occupied zone is significantly improved, compared to the reference case of the same diffuser without inserts. The impact of the inserts on the acoustics and the pressure drop is not significant, which validates the innovation for its immediate application in buildings. Finally, we compared the performance of innovative diffusers with lobed inserts to the vortex diffuser, presented in the air diffusion market as a high mixing diffuser, because of the rotation generated by profiled fins. The results showed that when the diffuser is flush mounted to the ceiling, which is recommended by the manufacturer, the immediate attachment of the jet due to the Coanda effect inhibits the expected rotational movement. Its performance under these conditions is lower to that of the diffuser with lobed inserts. It follows from this finding that the installation of the vortex diffuser on a free pipe is necessary for its best performance ; this can be performed for high ceiling commercial buildings or industrial buildings. Ceiling flush mounted diffusers with lobed inserts, which we have demonstrated their performance, are perfectly suited for office spaces or homes with low ceiling heights, and therefore meet the real need for high induction in this type of buildings.
