本論文將詳述對湍流熱對流系統改變邊界條件的三組實驗。 / 第一組實驗中，在寬高比等於1 的圓柱形對流槽中，通過平滑板和由金字塔狀規則排列的粗糙表面的板的組合，我們對五個對流槽進行測量。对實驗測量得到Nu 和Ra 的关系式，进行两个指数函数关系式的叠加--分别是由GL 模型提出的主体主导的（1/2）指数和边界层主导的(1/4)指数关系式。两个关系式的系数之比表明，粗糙板可以提高主体的贡献，而且将系统从边界层主导转变到主体主导。而對各個板上的測量顯示，改變平板的條件，比如恒定熱量或者恒定溫度條件，以及同一個對流槽中另外一塊板是否粗糙板，該平板的傳熱沒有發生變化。而對於粗糙版，讓它處於恒定熱量或者恒定溫度條件，得到不同的結果；同一個槽中另外一塊板是平板或者粗糙板，該粗糙板的傳熱也會受影響。 / 第二組實驗中，在平滑板组成的对流槽，和两块粗糙板组成的对流槽中，我们添加高分子聚合物，进一步研究添加的效果。对于平滑板的对流槽，研究观察到热传递效率Nusselt 数在添加聚合物之后降低。而且，添加的聚合物越多，Nu 降低越多，在聚合物浓度大约120ppm 的时候，Nu 降低了接近12%，而且保持不变。而对于粗糙板组成的对流槽，当聚合物浓度大于120ppm 的时候，Nu 提高了大约4%。 / 第三組實驗，在两块平滑板组成的圆柱形对流槽中，我们也对底板边界层内的速度场进行了实验测量。结果表明，在倾斜角度小于1°的时候，速度边界层的厚度δ[subscript v]与雷诺数的指数关系，与理论给的平流边界层的结果接近。当倾斜角度比较大的时候，边界层厚度与雷诺数的指数随着角度减小。 在不同瑞利数下，同一个倾斜角度时，测量得到的水平速度剖面通过标准化后，得到的形状是一致不变的。而对于不同的角度，标准化的形状之间，是有区别的。 / In this thesis three sets of experiments of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection with modified boundary conditions are presented. / The first set of measurements were made in cylindrical cells with aspect ratio one and with various combinations of smooth and rough plates in the form of regularly-arrayed pyramids. The experimental results suggest that the Nu - Ra relationship can be represented by the combination of two power laws, corresponding to the bulk dominant regime (exponent=1/2) and boundary layer dominant one (exponent=1/4) of the Grossmann-Lohse model. The behaviors of the coefficients of the two power laws suggest that the roughness of the plate can enhance the contribution of bulk and push the system to change from the boundary dominant state to bulk dominant state. A further examination of the individual plates reveal that the heat transport properties of smooth plates are insensitive to the surface and boundary conditions of the other plate of the same cell, whether smooth or rough, or whether under constant flux or constant temperature. The heat transport properties of the rough plates, on the other hand, appear to depend on surface and boundary conditions of the other plate of the same cell. / In the second set of experiments we study the effect of polymer additives in two Rayleigh-Bńard convection cells, one with smooth top and bottom plates and the other with rough top and bottom plates. For the cell with smooth plates, a reduction of the measured Nusselt number (Nu) was observed. Furthermore, the amount of Nu reduction increases with increasing polymer concentration (c), reaching ~12% for c = 120 ppm and an apparent level-off thereafter. For the cell with rough plates, however, an enhancement (~4%) of Nu was observed when the polymer concentration is greater than 120 ppm. / The third set of experiments investigates the properties of the velocity boundary layer in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical cell when it is tilted with respect to gravity. It is found that at small tilt angles (θ ≤ 1°), the measured viscous boundary layer thickness δ[subscript v] scales with the Reynolds number Re with an exponent close to that for a Prandtl-Blasius laminar boundary layer. For larger tilt angles, the scaling exponent of δ[subscript v] with Re decreases with θ. The normalized mean horizontal velocity profiles measured at the same tilt angle but with different Ra are found to have an invariant shape. But for different tilt angles, the shape of the normalized profiles is different. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Wei, Ping = 改變邊界條件下的熱湍流對流系統 : 傳熱性質及邊界層的實驗研究 / 韋萍. / "November 2012." / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2013. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 148-158). / Electronic reproduction.

自然界中存在很多的湍流熱對流現象。他們對於工業，科學與技術有著非常重要的影響。在本論文中我們利用多温度探头的技术研究了湍流熱對流的理想模型-湍流瑞利-伯納德對流中的大尺度環流在高普朗特數下的動力學特性。 / 實驗中，我们利用水和電子液體FC77 作為工作物質，獲得了普朗特數Pr 從5.3 到19.4. 瑞利數Ra 範圍8.3 × 10⁸ 2.94 × 10¹¹.我們用了一個寬高比Γ 為1 的圓柱形對流槽來研究大尺度環流的動力學特性。我們發現，在高普朗特數的時候，大尺度環流仍然是一個single roll. 這個與我們期望的是一樣的。大尺度環流的強度δ 的概率密度函數是一個高斯分佈。但是左邊的尾巴可以用一個指數函數來描述。我們也觀察到了大尺度環流傾向於呆在一個特定的角向位置。我們還發現，大尺度流動的角向運動具有擴散運動的特性。但是，用FC77 作為工作物質時，這個角向運動的擴散係數比用水作為工作物質時小兩個量級。實驗中測量到的雷諾數Re 和瑞利數Ra 之間的標度率與之前的實驗結果相符合。同時這個標度率也和Grossman-Lohse 模型的預測相符合。 / 大尺度流動豐富的動力學特性，比如說流動停止，流向反轉，扭轉還有平移振盪以及流動模式轉換，都可以在高普朗特數的時候觀察到。比較有趣的是我們發現流動停止在一個三維系統中既不依賴於Ra, 又不依賴於Pr. 這個結果和二維的瑞利-伯納德對流完全不同。 / Turbulent thermal convection is of tremendous importance to many areas of science, technology as well as the environment. In this thesis, the dynamics of the large-scale circulation (LSC) in turbulent Rayleigh-B´enard convection, which is an idealised model to study turbulent thermal convection problem, is investigated using the multi-thermal probe technique in the high Prandtl number Pr regime. / Using two kinds of working fluids, namely water and Fluorinert FC77, we achieved Pr from 5.3 to 19.4 and Rayleigh number Ra from 8.3×10⁸ to 2.94×10¹¹. The dynamics of the LSC is measured in an aspect ratio unity convection cell. It is found that the LSC in the high Pr regime is a single roll structure as expected. The probability distribution of the flow strength δ is a Gaussian distribution function with exponential tail to the left. The preferred orientation is also observed, which is revealed by the PDF of azimuthal orientation θ of the LSC. The azimuthal motion of the LSC is a diffusive process, which is the same as previous studies. However, we found that the diffusivity of the angular speed using FC77 as the working fluid is two orders smaller than using water as working fluid. The scaling of the measured Reynolds number Re number based on the oscillation frequency of the LSC with respect to Ra is in good agreement with previous experimental results and also Grossman-Lohse model prediction. / The abundant dynamical features of the LSC, such as cessations, flow reversals, torsional and sloshing oscillations and flow mode transitions are also observed in the high Pr regime. One surprising finding is that the cessation frequency of the LSC ,based on the statistics of the mid-height level of thermistors, is independent of both Ra and Pr, which is quite different from the (quasi) two-dimensional turbulent Rayleigh-B´enard convection. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Xie, Yichao = 高普朗特數瑞利-伯納德對流中大尺度環流動力學特性研究 / 謝毅超. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 53-57). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / Xie, Yichao = Gao pu lang te shu Ruili-Bonade dui liu zhong da chi du huan liu dong li xue te xing yan jiu / Xie Yichao. / Abstract --- p.ii / Acknowledgement --- p.iv / Chapter 1 --- Introduction --- p.1 / Chapter 1.1 --- Natural convection and Rayleigh-B´enard convection --- p.1 / Chapter 1.2 --- Governing equation and control parameters of RB Convection --- p.2 / Chapter 1.3 --- The large-scale circulation in turbulent RB convection --- p.4 / Chapter 1.4 --- Motivation and organisation of this thesis --- p.6 / Chapter 2 --- Experimental Setup and Measurement Techniques --- p.7 / Chapter 2.1 --- The convection cell --- p.7 / Chapter 2.1.1 --- The conduction plate and sidewall --- p.7 / Chapter 2.1.2 --- Cooling and heating system --- p.7 / Chapter 2.1.3 --- Level of the convection system --- p.7 / Chapter 2.2 --- The thermistor and it’s calibration --- p.9 / Chapter 2.3 --- Multi-thermal-probe technique --- p.10 / Chapter 2.4 --- Data analysis method --- p.12 / Chapter 2.4.1 --- Sinusoidal fitting method (SF method) --- p.12 / Chapter 2.4.2 --- Temperature extrema extraction method (TEE method) --- p.13 / Chapter 2.5 --- Physical properties of FC77 --- p.14 / Chapter 2.6 --- Other equipment --- p.15 / Chapter 3 --- Dynamics of LSC in high Pr turbulent RBC --- p.16 / Chapter 3.1 --- Background --- p.16 / Chapter 3.2 --- Experimental setup and data analyse method --- p.18 / Chapter 3.3 --- Results and discussion --- p.19 / Chapter 3.3.1 --- General features of the LSC --- p.19 / Chapter 3.3.2 --- Statistics of the angular speed --- p.23 / Chapter 3.3.3 --- Reynolds number Re --- p.30 / Chapter 3.3.4 --- Cessations, reversals and flow mode transitions --- p.34 / Chapter 3.3.5 --- Torsional and sloshing motions of the LSC --- p.42 / Chapter 3.4 --- Summary --- p.48 / Chapter 4 --- Conclusion and outlook --- p.51 / Chapter 4.1 --- Conclusion --- p.51 / Chapter 4.2 --- Outlook --- p.51 / Bibliography --- p.53
