Study of generation, growth and breakdown of streamwise streaks in a Blasius boundary layer.

Brandt, Luca January 2001 (has links)
Transition from laminar to turbulent flow has beentraditionally studied in terms of exponentially growingeigensolutions to the linearized disturbance equations.However, experimental findings show that transition may occuralso for parameters combinations such that these eigensolutionsare damped. An alternative non-modal growth mechanism has beenrecently identified, also based on the linear approximation.This consists of the transient growth of streamwise elongateddisturbances, mainly in the streamwise velocity component,called streaks. If the streak amplitude reaches a thresholdvalue, secondary instabilities can take place and provoketransition. This scenario is most likely to occur in boundarylayer flows subject to high levels of free-stream turbulenceand is the object of this thesis. Different stages of theprocess are isolated and studied with different approaches,considering the boundary layer flow over a flat plate. Thereceptivity to free-stream disturbances has been studiedthrough a weakly non-linear model which allows to disentanglethe features involved in the generation of streaks. It is shownthat the non-linear interaction of oblique waves in thefree-stream is able to induce strong streamwise vortices insidethe boundary layer, which, in turn, generate streaks by thelift-up effect. The growth of steady streaks is followed bymeans of Direct Numerical Simulation. After the streaks havereached a finite amplitude, they saturate and a new laminarflow, characterized by a strong spanwise modulation isestablished. Using Floquet theory, the instability of thesestreaks is studied to determine the features of theirbreakdown. The streak critical amplitude, beyond which unstablewaves are excited, is 26% of the free-stream velocity. Theinstability appears as spanwise (sinuous-type) oscillations ofthe streak. The late stages of the transition, originating fromthis type of secondary instability, are also studied. We foundthat the main structures observed during the transition processconsist of elongated quasi-streamwise vortices located on theflanks of the low speed streak.

Interscale transport of Reynolds stresses in wall-bounded flows

Ferrante, Gioele, Morfin, Andres January 2019 (has links)
Couette, pipe, channel, and zero-pressure gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layer (TBL) flows have classically been considered as canonical wall-bounded turbulent flows since their near-wall behavior is generally considered to be universal, i.e. invariant of the flow case and the Reynolds number. Nevertheless, the idea that large-scale motions, being dominant in regions further away from the wall, might interact with and influence small-scale fluctuations close to the wall has not been disregarded. This view was mainly motivated due to the observed failure of collapse of the Reynolds normal stresses in viscous scaling. While this top-down influence has been studied extensively over the last decade, the idea of a bottom-up influence (backward energy transfer) is less examined. One exception was the recent experimental work on a Couette flow by Kawata, T. & Alfredsson, P. H. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 244501, 2018). In the present work, a spectral representation of the Reynolds Stress transport equation is used to perform a scale-by-scale analysis of the terms in the equation. Two flow cases were studied: first, a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of a Couette flow at a similar Reynolds number as Kawata and Alfredsson. The Reynolds number was ReT = 120, viscosity v. Second, a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of a ZPG TBL at ReT = 730, 1270, and 2400. For both cases the classic interscale transport or turbulent kinetic energy was observed. However, also an inverse interscale transport of Reynolds shear stress was observed for both cases.

Fundamental studies of non-premixed combustion in turbulent wall jets using direct numerical simulation

Pouransari, Zeinab January 2011 (has links)
The present thesis deals with the fundamental aspects of turbulent mixingand non-premixed combustion in wall-jet flows. Direct numerical simulations(DNS) of compressible turbulent flows are performed in a wall-jet configura-tion, which has a close resemblance to many industrial combustion applica-tions. The triple ”turbulence-chemistry-wall” interactions are also present inthis flow set-up. These interactions have been addressed by first focusing onturbulent flow effects on the isothermal reaction, including the near-wall issues.Then, by adding heat-release to the simulations, it has been concentrated onheat-release effects on various phenomena that occur in the reacting turbulentwall-jet flow. In the computational domain, fuel and oxidizer enter separatelyin a non-premixed manner and the flow is fully turbulent and subsonic in allsimulations. In the first phase of this study, the case of a turbulent wall-jetincluding an isothermal reaction without heat release is addressed in order toisolate the near-wall effects and the mixing characteristics of the flow and thekey statistics for combustion are studied in the absence of thermal effects. Adeeper insight into three-dimensional mixing and reaction characteristics in aturbulent wall-jet has been gained through investigation of the probability den-sity functions, higher order moments of velocities and reacting scalars and thescalar dissipation rates of different species. In the second phase, DNS of turbu-lent reacting wall-jets including heat release is performed, where a single-stepglobal exothermic reaction with an Arrhenius-type reaction rate is considered.The main target was to identify the heat-release effects on different mixingscales of turbulent wall-jet flow. The scalar dissipation rates, time scale ratios,two-point correlations, one and two-dimensional premultiplied spectra are usedto illustrate the heat release induced modifications. It is observed that heatrelease effects delay the transition process in the chemically reacting cases andenlarge the fluctuation intensities of density and pressure, but have a dampingeffect on all velocity fluctuation intensities. Finer small mixing scales were ob-served in the isothermal simulations and larger vortical structures formed afteradding significant amounts of heat-release. Simulations with different Damk ̈h-  oler numbers, but comparable temperature-rise are performed and the expectedbehavior, a thinner flame with increasing Damk ̈hler number, is observed. Finally, some heat transfer related quantities are examined. The wall heat fluxand the corresponding Nusselt numbers are addressed. The near-wall reactioneffects on the skin friction coefficient are studied and further the reaction char-acteristics are investigated throughout the domain. / QC 20110908

Statistical characteristics of two-dimensional and quasigeostrophic turbulence

Vallgren, Andreas January 2010 (has links)
Two codes have been developed and implemented for use on massively parallelsuper computers to simulate two-dimensional and quasigeostrophic turbulence.The codes have been found to scale well with increasing resolution and width ofthe simulations. This has allowed for the highest resolution simulations of two-dimensional and quasigeostrophic turbulence so far reported in the literature.The direct numerical simulations have focused on the statistical characteristicsof turbulent cascades of energy and enstrophy, the role of coherent vorticesand departures from universal scaling laws, theoretized more than 40 yearsago. In particular, the investigations have concerned the enstrophy and energycascade in forced and decaying two-dimensional turbulence. Furthermore, theapplicability of Charney’s hypotheses on quasigeostrophic turbulence has beentested. The results have shed light on the flow evolution at very large Reynoldsnumbers. The most important results are the robustness of the enstrophycascade in forced and decaying two-dimensional turbulence, the unexpecteddependency on an infrared Reynolds number in the spectral scaling of theenergy spectrum in the inverse energy cascade, and the validation of Charney’spredictions on the dynamics of quasigeostrophic turbulence. It has also beenshown that the scaling of the energy spectrum in the enstrophy cascade isinsensitive to intermittency in higher order statistics, but that corrections mightapply to the ”universal” Batchelor-Kraichnan constant.

Acoustic Influences on Boundary Layer Transition in Hypersonic Wind Tunnels

Geoffrey M Andrews (13171944) 29 July 2022 (has links)
<p>Accurate and reliable prediction of laminar-turbulent boundary layer transition at hypersonic velocities is important for the development of a variety of practical high-speed flight systems currently under development. Boundary layer transition can cause up to an order of magnitude increase in skin friction and heat flux on a flight vehicle, meaning that understanding boundary layer behavior is critical to the design of weight-efficient thermal protection systems. Despite the importance of the topic, significant gaps remain in the community's current understanding of boundary layer transition and control. </p> <p>One of the biggest areas of concern in the field of high-speed boundary layer transition is the effect of facility noise on wind tunnel measurements. Conventional hypersonic wind tunnels are contaminated by freestream fluctuations which can be as much as two orders of magnitude higher than free-flight atmospheric conditions. These disturbances are typically produced by turbulent boundary layers on the tunnel walls; they are acoustic in nature and consist of pressure waves which radiate into the test section. This facility noise plays a leading role in high-speed transition phenomena in conventional hypersonic tunnels.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The current work studies the effects of facility noise on hypersonic transition using both linear stability theory and direct numerical simulation. A model for the freestream disturbance environment of the von Karman Facility's Tunnel B based on experimental measurements of the disturbance spectra present in the tunnel is created and used to study a past experiment performed in the same wind tunnel using a sharp cone and hollow cylinder. The results show that while linear stability theory accurately captures the behavior of second-mode instability growth, it fails to predict the growth of low-frequency instabilities recorded in the experiments. The stability theory analysis also suggests that very fine scale variation in nose tip geometry can play an outsize role in the development of boundary layer instabilities significantly farther downstream.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The direct numerical simulation demonstrates that, using an artificial body forcing term to implement the constructed tunnel noise model, the experimental effects of facility noise can be adequately captured with a sufficiently dense computational grid. For the conical geometry used in the experiments, calculations of surface heat flux indicate good experimental agreement with in prediction of transition location, and total temperature spectra extracted from the flow compare favorably with the experimental data as well. Visualizations of the flowfield confirm the onset of turbulence as a result of the freestream forcing. The computations also suggest that nonlinear interactions may be present in the turbulent breakdown region, leading to the production of streamwise streaks along the cone's surface. Transition on the hollow cylinder was not achieved due to suspected resolution issues, so detailed physical comparison of the two cases was not possible.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Overall, the results of this work suggest that direct numerical simulation is a capable tool for studying the effects of facility noise on hypersonic transition for simple geometries, albeit one which can be difficult to practically realize considering the required computational cost. Computational results indicate that two phenomena may play a role in the development of boundary layer instabilities for a sharp cone --- the fine-scale shape of the tip, which may change the behavior of the entropy layer near the nose; and the interactions between low- and high-frequency waveforms, which seems to cause nonlinear breakdown in line with current experimental understanding.</p>

[en] AXISYMMETRIC DISPLACEMENT OF MISCIBLE FLUIDS IN ANNULARS WITH ABRUPT EXPANSION / [pt] DESLOCAMENTO AXISSIMÉTRICO DE FLUIDOS MISCÍVEIS EM ANULARES COM EXPANSÃO ABRUPTA

FREDERICO RESENDE DE CARVALHO 05 September 2023 (has links)
[pt] Umas das etapas mais complexas e críticas durante a construção de poços de petróleo é o processo de cimentação primária, definido como: O processo de instalação de cimento no anular entre o revestimento e a formação exposta ao poço [1]. Ela fornece isolamento zonal permanente para evitar contaminação ou migração de fluidos indesejáveis no anular, protege o revestimento da ocorrência de corrosão e fornece estabilidade hidráulica e mecânica para o revestimento ao longo da vida produtiva do poço de petróleo. Neste processo, ainda na etapa de perfuração, irregularidades na seção transversal (washouts) podem ser geradas como resultado de diversos colapsos parciais da seção do poço aberto em decorrência da presença de rochas pouco consolidadas da formação. Uma operação de cimentação primária bem sucedida dependerá se o sistema de fluidos espaçadores e a pasta de cimento deslocam de forma adequada e completa o fluido de perfuração do anular e washouts. Motivados por esse problema industrial, a presente dissertação usa um simulador numérico DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) com o objetivo de analisar sistematicamente o comportamento hidrodinâmico e calcular a eficiência do deslocamento entre dois fluidos newtonianos miscíveis através de um anular contendo uma expansão seguida de uma contração abrupta. Investigamos como diferentes viscosidades e densidades dos fluidos, um injetado e outro deslocado, a miscibilidade entre eles, a taxa de injeção e a dimensão do washout retangular afetam o escoamento bifásico. Consideramos uma geometria axissimétrica durante processos de deslocamentos verticais, e as equações governantes são resolvidas em coordenadas cilíndricas, permitindo investigar diferentes aberturas anulares. Devido à miscibilidade entre os fluidos, nossos resultados preveem eficiências de deslocamento altíssimas, próximas a 100 Fluidos não-newtonianos são usualmente utilizados durante o processo industrial de cimentação primária de poços de petróleo. Contudo, as altas eficiências de deslocamentos encontradas em nossos resultados motivam estudos futuros sobre a influência da miscibilidade em deslocamentos de fluidos complexos. Estes resultados também motivam o uso de fluidos espaçadores para tentar controlar as propriedades de interface. Desta forma, é possível que a utilização de sistemas que se aproximem das condições reológicas e hidrodinâmicas de deslocamento entre fluidos newtonianos miscíveis poderá contribuir para um aumento da eficiência de deslocamento e, consequentemente, otimizar o processo de deslocamento de sistemas de fluidos, tendo em vista melhorias na integridade da cimentação de poços de petróleo. / [en] One of the most complex and critical stages during the construction ofoil wells is the primary cementing process, defined as the process of installingcement in the annulus between the casing and the exposed formation to thewell [1]. Primary cementing provides permanent zonal isolation to preventcontamination or migration of unwanted fluids in the annulus, protects thecasing from corrosion, and provides hydraulic and mechanical stability forthe casing throughout the productive life of the oil well. In this process,during the drilling stage, irregularities in the cross-section (washouts) can begenerated because of various partial collapses of the open wellbore section dueto the presence of poorly consolidated rocks in the formation. A successfulprimary cementing operation will depend on whether the spacer fluid systemand cement slurry adequately and completely displace the drilling fluid fromthe annulus and washouts.Motivated by this industrial problem, the present dissertation uses aDirect Numerical Simulation (DNS) numerical simulator to systematically analyze the hydrodynamic behavior and calculate the displacement efficiency between two miscible newtonian fluids through an annulus containing an expansion followed by an abrupt contraction. We investigate how different viscositiesand densities of the injected and displaced fluids, their miscibility, injectionrate, and the dimension of the rectangular washout affect the two-phase flow.We consider an axisymmetric geometry during vertical displacement processes,and the governing equations are solved in cylindrical coordinates, allowing theinvestigation of different annular clearances. Due to the miscibility betweenthe fluids, our results predict very high displacement efficiencies, close to 100Non-newtonian fluids are commonly used during the industrial processof primary cementing of oil wells. However, the high displacement efficienciesfound in our results motivate further studies on the influence of miscibilityin displacements of complex fluids. These results also encourage the use ofspacer fluids attempting to control the interfacial properties. Therefore, the useof systems that approximate the rheological and hydrodynamic conditions ofdisplacement between miscible newtonian fluids may contribute to an increasein displacement efficiency and, consequently, optimize the displacement processof fluid systems, aiming at improvements in the integrity of well cementing.

Simulation Numérique Directe des sprays dilués anisothermes avec le Formalisme Eulérien Mésoscopique / Direct Numerical Simulation of non-isothermal dilute sprays using the Mesoscopic Eulerian Formalism

Dombard, Jérôme 20 October 2011 (has links)
Le contexte général de cette thèse est la Simulation Numérique Directe des écoulements diphasiques dilués anisothermes. Un accent particulier est mis sur la détermination précise de la dispersion des particules et du transfert de chaleur entre la phase porteuse et dispersée. Cette dernière est décrite à l’aide d’une approche Eulérienne aux moments : le Formalisme Eulérien Mésoscopique (FEM) [41, 123], récemment étendu aux écoulements anisothermes [78]. Le principal objectif de ce travail est de déterminer si ce formalisme est capable de prendre en compte de manière précise l’inertie dynamique et thermique des particules dans un écoulement turbulent, et particulièrement dans une configuration avec un gradient moyen. Le code de calcul utilisé est AVBP. La simulation numérique d’un spray dilué avec une approche Eulerienne soulève des questions supplémentaires sur les méthodes numériques et les modèles employés. Ainsi, les méthodes numériques spécifiques aux écoulements diphasiques implémentées dans AVBP [69, 103, 109] ont été testées et revisitées. L’objectif est de proposer une stratégie numérique précise et robuste qui résiste aux forts gradients de fraction volumique de particule provoqués par la concentration préférentielle [132], tout en limitant la diffusion numérique. Ces stratégies numériques sont comparées sur une série de cas tests de complexité croissante et des diagnostics pertinents sont proposés. Par exemple, les dissipations dues `a la physique et au numérique sont extraites des simulations et quantifiées. Le cas test du tourbillon en deux dimensions chargé en particules est suggéré comme une configuration simple pour mettre en évidence l’impact de l’inertie des particules sur leur champ de concentration et pour discriminer les stratégies numériques. Une solution analytique est aussi proposée pour ce cas dans la limite des faibles nombres de Stokes. Finalement, la stratégie numérique qui couple le schéma centré d’ordre élevé TTGC et une technique de stabilisation, aussi appelée viscosité artificielle, est celle qui fournit les meilleurs résultats en terme de précision et de robustesse. Les paramètres de viscosité artificielle (c'est-à-dire les senseurs) doivent néanmoins être bien choisis. Ensuite, la question des modèles nécessaires pour d´écrire correctement la dispersion des particules dans une configuration avec un gradient moyen est abordée. Pour ce faire, un des modèles RUM (appel´e AXISY-C), proposé par Masi [78] et implémenté dans AVBP par Sierra [120], est validé avec succès dans deux configurations: un jet plan diphasique anisotherme 2D et 3D. Contrairement aux anciens modèles RUM, les principales statistiques de la phase dispersée sont désormais bien prédites au centre et aux bords du jet. Finalement, l’impact de l’inertie thermique des particules sur leur température est étudié. Les résultats montrent un effet important de cette inertie sur les statistiques mettant en évidence la nécessité pour les approches numériques de prendre en compte ce phénomène. Ainsi, l’extension du FEM aux écoulements anisothermes, c’est-à-dire les flux de chaleur RUM (notés RUM HF), est implémentée dans AVBP. L’impact des RUM HF sur les statistiques de température des particules est ensuite évalué sur les configurations des jets 2D et 3D. Les champs Eulériens sont comparés à des solutions Lagrangiennes de référence calculées par B. Leveugle au CORIA et par E. Masi à l’IMFT pour les jets 2D et 3D, respectivement. Les résultats montrent que les RUM HF améliorent la prédiction des fluctuations de température mésoscopique, et dans une moindre mesure la température moyenne des particules en fonction de la configuration. Les statistiques Lagrangiennes sont retrouvées lorsque les RUM HF sont pris en compte alors que les résultats sont dégradés dans le cas contraire. / This work addresses the Direct Numerical Simulation of non-isothermal turbulent flows laden with solid particles in the dilute regime. The focus is set on the accurate prediction of heat transfer between phases and of particles dispersion. The dispersed phase is described by an Eulerian approach : the Mesoscopic Eulerian Formalism [41, 123], recently extended to non-isothermal flows [78]. The main objective of this work is to assess the ability of this formalism to accurately account for both dynamic and thermal inertia of particles in turbulent sheared flows. The CFD code used in this work is AVBP. The numerical simulation of dilute sprays with an Eulerian approach calls for specific modelling and raises additional numerical issues. First, the numerical methods implemented in AVBP for two-phase flows [69, 103, 109] were tested and revisited. The objective was to propose an accurate and robust numerical strategy that withstands the steep gradients of particle volume fraction due to preferential concentration [132] with a limited numerical diffusion. These numerical strategies have been tested on a series of test cases of increasing complexity and relevant diagnostics were proposed. In particular, the two-dimensional vortex laden with solid particles was suggested as a simple configuration to illustrate the effect of particle inertia on their concentration profile and to test numerical strategies. An analytical solution was also derived in the limit of small inertia. Moreover, dissipations due to numerics and to physical effects were explicitly extracted and quantified. Eventually, the numerical strategy coupling the highorder centered scheme TTGC with a stabilization technique –the so called artificial viscosity– proved to be the most accurate and robust alternative in AVBP if an adequate set-up is used (i.e. sensors). Then, the issue of the accurate prediction of particle dispersion in configurations with a mean shear was adressed. One of the RUM model (denoted AXISY-C), proposed by Masi [78] and implemented by Sierra [120], was successfully validated in a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional non-isothermal jet laden with solid particles. Contrary to the former RUM models [63, 103], the main statistics of the dispersed phase were recovered at both the center and the edges of the jet. Finally, the impact of the thermal inertia of particles on their temperature statistics has been investigated. The results showed a strong dependency of these statistics to thermal inertia, pinpointing the necessity of the numerical approaches to account for this phenomenon. Therefore, the extension of the MEF to non isothermal conditions, i.e. the RUM heat fluxes, has been implemented in AVBP. The impact of the RUM HF terms on the temperature statistics was evaluated in both configurations of 2D and 3D jets. Eulerian solutions were compared with Lagrangian reference computations carried out by B. Leveugle at CORIA and by E. Masi at IMFT for the 2D and 3D jets, respectively. Results showed a strong positive impact of the RUM HF on the fluctuations of mesoscopic temperature, and to a lesser extent on the mean mesoscopic temperature depending of the configuration. Neglecting the RUM HF leads to erroneous results whereas the Lagrangian statistics are recovered when they are accounted for.

Simulação numérica direta de escoamento transicional sobre uma superfície contendo rugosidade / Direct numerical simulation of transitional flow over a surface containing roughness

Petri, Larissa Alves 09 March 2015 (has links)
Em diversos escoamentos sobre superfícies há a presença de protuberâncias, como por exemplo rebites, parafusos e juntas. Estas protuberâncias podem influenciar a camada limite, acelerando a transição do escoamento do estado laminar para o estado turbulento. Em alguns casos isto pode ser indesejável, já que o escoamento turbulento implica necessariamente em uma força de atrito maior do que aquela referente ao escoamento laminar. Existem alguns aspectos neste tipo de escoamento que ainda não estão bem compreendidos. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a influência de uma rugosidade isolada no escoamento sobre uma superfície. Este estudo contribui para se entender o que ocorre em casos de maior complexidade. O estudo é de natureza computacional, em que se utiliza simulação numérica direta das equações de Navier-Stokes. A técnica de fronteiras imersas é utilizada para representar a rugosidade no escoamento sobre a superfície. O código numérico é verificado por meio do método de soluções manufaturadas. Comparações entre resultados experimentais, da teoria de estabilidade linear e numéricos também são utilizados para a validação do código. Resultados obtidos com diferentes alturas de rugosidade e variações no gradiente de pressão permitiram analisar a influência de elemento rugoso tridimensional em escoamentos de camada limite. / The presence of protuberances on surfaces, for example, rivets, screws and gaskets, can influence the boundary layer by accelerating the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow. In some cases this may be undesirable, since the turbulent flow involves frictional forces greater than the ones at the laminar regime. There are some aspects of the flow in the boundary layer perturbed by a single roughness element that are not well understood. The aim of this work is to study the influence of an isolated roughness on the boundary layer. This study is a step towards to the understanding of what can happen in more complex cases. The nature of this study is computational, therefore a Direct Numerical Simulation code is used. The immersed boundary method is used to represent the roughness in the flow on the surface. The numerical code is verified via theMethod ofManufactured Solutions. Comparisons between experimental data, Linear Stability Theory and numerical results are also used for the validation of the code. Results obtained with different roughness heights and variations in the pressure gradient allowed the analysis of the influence of a three-dimensional roughness element in boundary layer flows.

Simulation numérique directe d'un jet en écoulement transverse à bas nombre de Mach en vue de l'amélioration du refroidissement par effusion des chambres de combustion aéronautiques / Direct numerical simulation of a jet in crossflow at low Mach number in order to improve effusion cooling for combustion chambers.

Delmas, Simon 16 December 2015 (has links)
Dans cette thèse on s'intéresse aux jets en écoulement transverse dans une configuration générique de celle du refroidissement par effusion de chambres de combustion aéronautiques. L'amélioration des modèles de paroi avec transfert de masse passe par une meilleure connaissance de l'interaction entre les jets et l’écoulement principal. Nous avons donc réalisé la simulation numérique directe d'un jet issu d'un perçage incliné avec ou sans giration, pour des écoulements isothermes, turbulents et à bas nombre de Mach, dans un contexte compressible. Pour cela nous avons travaillé avec la bibliothèque AeroSol d'éléments finis continus et discontinus sur maillage hybride. En particulier nous nous sommes intéressés à la stabilité des flux numériques pour le compressible instationnaire associés à la méthode de Galerkin discontinue lorsque le nombre de Mach tend vers zéro. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence des comportements instables lors de l'utilisation de discrétisation temporelle explicite que nous avons corrigés en proposant un nouveau flux. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons effectué les développements nécessaires à la réalisation des calculs. Nous nous sommes en particulier intéressés à la génération d'un champ de vitesse turbulent synthétique par la méthode SEM (Synthetic Eddy Method) que nous avons implantée dans AeroSol et validée. Grâce aux outils de post-traitement développés, nous avons conduit l'analyse de nos résultats. Dans le cas sans giration, les comparaisons avec les résultats expérimentaux et les résultats de simulations RANS que nous avons obtenus en parallèle sur la configuration du banc d'essai MAVERIC sont encourageants. La structure moyenne d'ensemble du jet est notamment correctement reproduite. En ce qui concerne la cas avec giration, le comportement attendu de déflexion successive du jet dans les deux plans caractéristiques (plan d'injection et plan de l'écoulement transverse) est bien reproduit et illustre tout le potentiel prévisionnel de la librairie de calcul que nous avons contribué à développer. / In this work we are interested in jet in crossflow in a generic configuration to the one used in effusion cooling for combustion chambers. Improved wall models with mass transfer requires a better knowledge of the interaction between the jets and the main flow. We therefore carried out the direct numerical simulation of a jet issuing from an inclined hole with or without gyration, for isothermal turbulent flow at low Mach number, in a compressible context. To achieved this, we worked with the continuous and discontinuous finite element library : AeroSol on hybrid grid. In particular we studied the stability of numerical flux for the unsteady compressible flow associated with discontinuous Galerkin method when the Mach number tends to zero. We were able to demonstrate unstable behavior when using explicit time discretization and we corrected them by providing a new flux. In a second time, we have performed the necessary development to achieve the calculations. We have been especially interested in the generation of a synthetic turbulent velocity field using the SEM method (Synthetic Eddy Method) that we have implemented in aerosol and validate. Thanks to the developed post-processing tools, we have conducted an analysis of our results. In the case without gyration, comparisons with experimental results and the results of RANS simulations we obtained on the Maveric test-bench configuration are encouraging. The mean flow of the jet is correctly reproduced. In the case with gyration, the expected behavior of successive deflection of the jet in both planes (injection plane and transverse plane of the flow) is reproduced and shows all the potential of the AeroSol library we helped to develop.
