Control of near-wall coherent structures in a turbulent boundary layer using synthetic jetsSpinosa, Emanuele January 2016 (has links)
The increase in CO2 emissions due to the significant growth of the level of air traffic expected in the next 40 years can be tackled with new technologies able to reduce the skin friction drag of the new generation aircraft. The ACARE (Advisory Council for Aeronautical Research in Europe), within the Flightpath 2015 Visions, has established stringent targets for drag reduction, which can be achieved only with innovative flow control methods. Synthetic jets are a promising method of flow control, especially for their ability to control the flow without the need of a bleed air supply. The application of synthetic jets for flow separation control has been already proven. Their application can also be extended to skin friction drag reduction in a turbulent flow. Indeed, most of turbulence production in a turbulent boundary layer is related to the dynamics of streamwise streaks and vortices in the near-wall region. Synthetic jets can be used to weaken these structures, to reduce turbulence production and consequently skin friction drag. The effectiveness of synthetic jets for skin friction drag reduction in a turbulent boundary layer has already been explored in a few works. However, there is a lack of understanding on the physical mechanism by which this effect is achieved. The aim of this work is to provide further insight on this. A series of experimental investigations are carried out, using three main measurement techniques: Particle Image Velocimetry, Liquid Crystal Thermography and Constant Temperature Anemometry. The effectiveness of a single round synthetic jet in controlling near-wall streamwise streaks and vortices in a laminar environment, in particular those that develop downstream of a circular cylinder, is verified. Turbulent boundary layer forcing is attempted using a synthetic jet array that produces coherent structures of the same scale as the streamwise vortices and streaks of a turbulent boundary layer. The synthetic jet array is able to create regions of lower velocity in the near-wall and of lower skin friction. A possible physical mechanism behind this has been proposed. With a few minor modification, it is believed that the performance of the synthetic jet array could be significantly improved. This can be achieved especially if the array is installed in a feed-forward control unit, which is only briefly explored in this work. In this case the information on the flow field gathered real-time with wall sensors can help to consistently improve the synthetic jet array performance in terms of skin friction drag reduction.

Upgrading and Qualification of a Turbulent Heat Transfer Test FacilityOdetola, Olumide Folorunso 13 December 2002 (has links)
The Turbulent Heat Transfer Test Facility (THTTF) has been refurbished and the data acquisition system upgraded. The THTTF is now controlled by a LabView 4.1 program which replaces the old program in BASIC. Heat transfer data acquired using this new program is presented as Stanton number distributions. The new data set is compared to previously reported data obtained with this facility and other wellepted published data. This project has successfully qualified the THTTF for zero-pressure gradient, isothermal wall temperature, incompressible boundary-layer flow over smooth flat plates without transpiration. The THTTF is now set to accommodate modifications which will facilitate heat transfer investigations with high freestream turbulence.

Numerical Studies of Wall Effects of Laminar FlamesAndrae, Johan January 2001 (has links)
<p>Numerical simulations have been done with the CHEMKINsoftware to study different aspects of wall effects in thecombustion of lean, laminar and premixed flames in anaxisymmetric boundary-layer flow.</p><p>The importance of the chemical wall effects compared to thethermal wall effects caused by the development of the thermaland velocity boundary layer has been investigated in thereaction zone by using different wall boundary conditions, walltemperatures and fuel/air ratios. Surface mechanisms include acatalytic surface (Platinum), a surface that promotesrecombination of active intermediates and a completely inertwall with no species and reactions as the simplest possibleboundary condition.</p><p>When hydrogen is the model fuel, the analysis of the resultsshow that for atmospheric pressure and a wall temperature of600 K, the surface chemistry gives significant wall effects atthe richer combustion case (f=0.5), while the thermal andvelocity boundary layer gives rather small effects. For theleaner combustion case (f=0.1) the thermal and velocityboundary layer gives more significant wall effects, whilesurface chemistry gives less significant wall effects comparedto the other case.</p><p>For methane as model fuel, the thermal and velocity boundarylayer gives significant wall effects at the lower walltemperature (600 K), while surface chemistry gives rather smalleffects. The wall can then be modelled as chemically inert forthe lean mixtures used (f=0.2 and 0.4). For the higher walltemperature (1200 K) the surface chemistry gives significantwall effects.</p><p>For both model fuels, the catalytic wall unexpectedlyretards homogeneous combustion of the fuel more than the wallthat acts like a sink for active intermediates. This is due toproduct inhibition by catalytic combustion. For hydrogen thisoccurs at atmospheric pressure, but for methane only at thehigher wall temperature (1200 K) and the higher pressure (10atm).</p><p>As expected, the overall wall effects (i.e. a lowerconversion) were more pronounced for the leaner fuel-air ratiosand at the lower wall temperatures.</p><p>To estimate a possible discrepancy in flame position as aresult of neglecting the axial diffusion in the boundary layerassumption, calculations have been performed with PREMIX, alsoa part of the CHEMKIN software. With PREMIX, where axialdiffusion is considered, steady, laminar, one-dimensionalpremixed flames can be modelled. Results obtained with the sameinitial conditions as in the boundary layer calculations showthat for the richer mixtures at atmospheric pressure the axialdiffusion generally has a strong impact on the flame position,but in the other cases the axial diffusion may beneglected.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong>wall effects, laminar premixed flames,platinum surfaces, boundary layer flow</p> / QC 20100504
