Estudo dos efeitos de um jato sintético simulado numericamente no atraso da separação de uma camada limite sobre um aerofólio hipotético / Study of the effects of a numerically simulated synthetic jet on the delay of separation of the boundary layer on a hipothetical airfoil

Mello, Hilton Carlos de Miranda 28 November 2005 (has links)
A realização deste trabalho tem como objetivo fundamental estudar os efeitos dos atuadores de jato sintético no escoamento de uma camada limite desenvolvida sobre uma placa plana e um aerofólio hipotético. A interação dos jatos sintéticos com um escoamento transversal pode conduzir a uma aparente modificação da forma aerodinâmica de corpos rombudos e, dessa forma, fornecer uma maneira de controle da separação na camada limite. Estudos recentes demonstram que tipos diferentes de escoamentos podem ser produzidos pelo atuador dependendo da oscilação da membrana. Um método numérico para solução das equações de Navier-Stokes incompressíveis bidimensionais na formulação vorticidade-velocidade é utilizado neste trabalho. As equações governantes são discretizadas utilizando-se métodos de diferenças finitas compactas de sexta ordem para as derivadas espaciais. A equação de Poisson para a componente da velocidade normal é resolvida por um método iterativo de sobre-relaxação em linhas sucessivas usando um esquema com malha composta para acelerar a convergência. Os resultados de simulações com diferentes valores de freqüência, amplitude e comprimento de fenda foram verificados através de uma análise de Fourier temporal. Através desta análise é verificado qual a melhor situação para se atrasar a separação da camada limite / This work has as a fundamental objective the study of the effects of synthetic jet actuators on the boundary layer flow on a flat plate and on a hypothetical airfoil. The interaction of synthetic jets with transverse flow can lead to an apparent modification in the aerodynamic shape of blunt bodies and, in that way, supply a means of control of transition within the boundary layer. Recent studies demonstrate that different types of flow may be produced by the actuator, depending on the amplitude of oscillation of the membrane. A numerical method for the solution of two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations written in vorticity-velocity formulation is used in this work. The spatial derivatives are discretized with a sixth order compact finite differences scheme. The Poisson equation for the normal velocity component is solved by an iterative line successive over relaxation method and uses a multigrid full approximation scheme to accelerate the convergence. The results of simulations with different values of frequency, amplitude and slot length were verified through a temporal Fourier analysis. By way of this analysis it is verified which are the better parameters for the controlled delay of boundary layer separation

Analysis and control of boundary layer transition on a NACA 0008 wing profile

Sinha Roy, Arijit January 2018 (has links)
The main aim of this thesis was to understand the mechanism behind the classical transition scenario inside the boundary layer over an airfoil and eventually attempting to control this transition utilizing passive devices for transition delay. The initial objective of analyzing the transition phenomenon based on TS wave disturbance growth was conducted at 90 Hz using LDV and CTA measurement techniques at two different angles of attack. This was combined with the studies performed on two other frequencies of 100 and 110 Hz, in order to witness its impact on the neutral stability curve behavior. The challenges faced in the next phase of the thesis while trying to control the transition location, was to understand and encompass the effect of adverse pressure gradient before setting up the passive control devices, which in this case was miniature vortex generators. Consequently, several attempts were made to optimize the parameters of the miniature vortex generators depending upon the streak strength and stability. Finally, for 90 Hz a configuration of miniature vortex generators have been found to successfully stabilize the TS wave disturbances below a certain forcing amplitude, which also led to transition delay.

Global stability analysis of three-dimensional boundary layer flows

Brynjell-Rahkola, Mattias January 2015 (has links)
This thesis considers the stability and transition of incompressible boundary layers. In particular, the Falkner–Skan–Cooke boundary layer subject to a cylindrical surface roughness, and the Blasius boundary layer with applied localized suction are investigated. These flows are of great importance within the aviation industry, feature complex transition scenarios, and are strongly three-dimensional in nature. Consequently, no assumptions regarding homogeneity in any of the spatial directions are possible, and the stability of the flow is governed by an extensive three-dimensional eigenvalue problem. The stability of these flows is addressed by high-order direct numerical simulations using the spectral element method, in combination with a Krylov subspace projection method. Such techniques target the long-term behavior of the flow and can provide lower limits beyond which transition is unavoidable. The origin of the instabilities, as well as the mechanisms leading to transition in the aforementioned cases are studied and the findings are reported. Additionally, a novel method for computing the optimal forcing of a dynamical system is developed. This type of analysis provides valuable information about the frequencies and structures that cause the largest energy amplification in the system. The method is based on the inverse power method, and is discussed in the context of the one-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau equation and a two-dimensional flow case governed by the Navier–Stokes equations. / <p>QC 20151015</p>

Studies on instability and optimal forcing of incompressible flows

Brynjell-Rahkola, Mattias January 2017 (has links)
This thesis considers the hydrodynamic instability and optimal forcing of a number of incompressible flow cases. In the first part, the instabilities of three problems that are of great interest in energy and aerospace applications are studied, namely a Blasius boundary layer subject to localized wall-suction, a Falkner–Skan–Cooke boundary layer with a localized surface roughness, and a pair of helical vortices. The two boundary layer flows are studied through spectral element simulations and eigenvalue computations, which enable their long-term behavior as well as the mechanisms causing transition to be determined. The emergence of transition in these cases is found to originate from a linear flow instability, but whereas the onset of this instability in the Blasius flow can be associated with a localized region in the vicinity of the suction orifice, the instability in the Falkner–Skan–Cooke flow involves the entire flow field. Due to this difference, the results of the eigenvalue analysis in the former case are found to be robust with respect to numerical parameters and domain size, whereas the results in the latter case exhibit an extreme sensitivity that prevents domain independent critical parameters from being determined. The instability of the two helices is primarily addressed through experiments and analytic theory. It is shown that the well known pairing instability of neighboring vortex filaments is responsible for transition, and careful measurements enable growth rates of the instabilities to be obtained that are in close agreement with theoretical predictions. Using the experimental baseflow data, a successful attempt is subsequently also made to reproduce this experiment numerically. In the second part of the thesis, a novel method for computing the optimal forcing of a dynamical system is developed. The method is based on an application of the inverse power method preconditioned by the Laplace preconditioner to the direct and adjoint resolvent operators. The method is analyzed for the Ginzburg–Landau equation and afterwards the Navier–Stokes equations, where it is implemented in the spectral element method and validated on the two-dimensional lid-driven cavity flow and the flow around a cylinder. / <p>QC 20171124</p>
