Diversas aplicações industriais utilizam escoamentos de fluidos viscoelásticos, e em muitos casos é necessário saber se os escoamentos propagam-se no estado laminar ou no turbulento. Embora a hidrodinâmica de fluidos viscoelásticos seja fortemente afetada pelo balanço entre forças inerciais e elásticas no escoamento, o efeito da elasticidade sobre a estabilidade de escoamentos inerciais não foi completamente estabelecido. Neste trabalho, estuda-se o que ocorre durante a transição laminar-turbulenta, investigando a convecção de ondas de Tollmien-Schlichting para o escoamento incompressível, para um fluido viscoelástico, entre placas paralelas, utilizando a equação constitutiva Giesekus. Para isto, adotou-se a simulação numérica direta para verificar a estabilidade dos escoamentos à perturbações não estacionárias deste fluido. Experimentos computacionais para verificação do código foram realizados. Com os resultados numéricos obtidos, foi possível verificar e analizar a estabilidade de escoamentos utilizando-se o modelo não newtoniano Giesekus. / Several industrial applications use viscoelastic fluid flows, and it is necessary to know if the flows propagate in the laminar or turbulent state. Although the hydrodynamics of viscoelastic fluids is strongly affected by the balance between inertial and elastic forces in the flow, the effect of elasticity on the stability of inertial flows has not been completely established. In this work we study what happens during the laminar-turbulent transition, investigating the convection of Tollmien-Schlichting waves for the incompressible flow, for a viscoelastic fluid, between parallel plates, using the constitutive equation Giesekus. For this, the direct numerical simulation was used to verify the stability of the flows to the non-stationary perturbations of this fluid. Computational experiments to verify the code were performed. With the numerical results obtained, it was possible to verify and analyze the stability of flows modelled by Giesekus non-newtonian model.

La transition laminaire-turbulent au sein de la couche limite qui se développesur les parois des aéronefs augmente fortement la traînée de frottement. Ainsi, afin derépondre à une problématique à la fois environnementale et économique, une piste envisagéepour réduire la consommation en carburant des aéronefs du futur est de diminuerla trainée en reculant cette transition le plus en aval possible. Dans ce cadre, l’objectifde cette thèse est de caractériser expérimentalement et numériquement l’effet d’actionneursà plasma de type Décharge à Barrière Diélectrique sur la transition. Alimentés parune haute tension alternative, ces actionneurs actifs produisent une force volumique pulséequi permet, sous certaines conditions, de modifier les profils de vitesse moyenne dansla couche limite et de reculer la transition. Sous d’autres conditions, le caractère instationnairede cette force volumique peut entrainer une amplification des instabilités modalesnaturellement présentes dans la couche limite (ondes de Tollmien-Schlichting) et ainsiconduire à une transition prématurée. Une première expérience a permis de mettre enévidence cette compétition entre l’effet moyen stabilisant et l’effet instationnaire déstabilisanten mesurant respectivement un recul et une avancée de la transition. Parallèlementà ces activités expérimentales, une étude numérique, basée sur des analyses destabilité linéaire, a montré que l’effet moyen de la force volumique permettait d’atténuerune large gamme de fréquences d’ondes TS dans la couche limite et d’expliquer le reculde transition observé expérimentalement. En se concentrant sur l’effet moyen, une secondeexpérience a permis d’étudier l’influence de la position de l’actionneur ainsi quel’effet cumulatif de plusieurs actionneurs sur le recul de transition. / The boundary layer transition from a laminar to a turbulent state increases thewall friction drag. Particularly on future aircrafts, one way of reducing fuel consumption,and answering both an environmental and economic issue, consists in delaying the transitionfarther downstream. In this context, the aim of this work is to characterize the impactof Dielectric Barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators on the boundary layer transition.When powered with an alternative high voltage, these active actuators produce apulsed body force which is tangential to the wall and, under some conditions, enablesto modify the boundary layer mean velocity profiles to delay the transition. Under otherconditions, the unsteady body force amplifies modal instabilities (Tollmien-Schlichtingwaves) may destabilize the boundary layers, leading to a promoted transition. A first experimentenabled to highlight this competition between the stabilizing mean effect andthe destabilizing unsteady effect by measuring respectively a transition delay and a transitionpromotion. A numerical study based on local stability analyses wass conducted inparallel and showed that a wide frequency range of TS waves is damped by the mean bodyforce, which explains the transition delay. A second experiment, focusing on the mean effect,enabled to show the influence of the actuator position and the cumulative effect ofseveral actuators on the transition delay.

Both experimental and theoretical studies have beenconsidered on flat plate boundary layers as well as on wakesbehind porous cylinders. The main thread in this work iscontrol, which is applied passively and actively on boundarylayers in order to inhibit or postpone transition toturbulence; and actively through the cylinder surface in orderto effect the wakecharacteristics. An experimental set-up for the generation of the asymptoticsuction boundary layer (ASBL) has been constructed. This studyis the first, ever, that report a boundary layer flow ofconstant boundary layer thickness over a distance of 2 metres.Experimental measurements in the evolution region, from theBlasius boundary layer (BBL) to the ASBL, as well as in theASBL are in excellent agreement with boundary layer analysis.The stability of the ASBL has experimentally been tested, bothto Tollmien-Schlichting waves as well as to free streamturbulence (FST), for relatively low Reynolds numbers (Re). For the former disturbances good agreement is foundfor the streamwise amplitude profiles and the phase velocitywhen compared with linear spatial stability theory. However,the energy decay factor predicted by theory is slightlyoverestimated compared to the experimental findings. The latterdisturbances are known to engender streamwise elongated regionsof high and low speeds of fluid, denoted streaks, in a BBL.This type of spanwise structures have been shown to appear inthe ASBL as well, with the same spanwise wavelength as in theBBL, despite the fact that the boundary layer thickness issubstantially reduced in the ASBL case. The spanwise wavenumberof the optimal perturbation in the ASBL has been calculated andis β = 0.53, when normalized with the displacementthickness. The spanwise scale of the streaks decreases withincreasing turbulence intensity (Tu) and approaches the scale given by optimalperturbation theory. This has been shown for the BBL case aswell. The initial energy growth of FST induced disturbances hasexperimentally been found to grow linearly as Tu2Rexin the BBL, the transitional Reynolds numberto vary as Tu-2, and the intermittency function to have a relativelywell-defined distribution, valid for all Tu. The wake behind a porous cylinder subject to continuoussuction or blowing has been studied, where amongst other thingsthe Strouhal number (St) has been shown to increase strongly with suction,namely, up to 50% for a suction rate of 2.5% of the free streamvelocity. In contrast, blowing shows a decrease ofStof around 25% for a blowing rate of 5% of the freestream velocity in the considered Reynolds number range.

Linear Stability Theory and Direct Numerical Simulation are used to verify the stability of viscoelastic fluid flows to unsteady disturbances. In the LST analysis, the Orr-Sommerfeld equation is modified to a viscoelastic fluid and solved by Shooting method. Whereas, in the DNS formulation, the Navier-Stokes equations with the Giesekus constitutive equation are solved using high-order compact finite difference methods. In order to evaluate the neutral stability curves and the amplification rates, different numerical simulations are performed by varying the dimensionless parameters in the Giesekus model and their results are compared with the Newtonian fluid. The LST and DNS techniques proved to be efficient tools to the spatial stability analysis of viscoelastic fluid flows of the Giesekus type, allowing a better comprehension of the dimensionless parameters influence of those flows, contributing with originals results to verification of the viscoelastics fluid flows stability using Giesekus fluid. / FAPESP: 2017/11068-6

Les moteurs à propergol solide de certains lanceurs spatiaux peuvent présenter des oscillations de poussée provoquées par des oscillations de la pression interne du moteur. Il est désormais connu qu'une instabilité hydrodynamique propre à l'écoulement et mise en évidence par une approche de stabilité linéaire, appelée Vortex Shedding Parietal, est le phénomène à l'origine de ces oscillations. Cependant plusieurs questions subsistent quant à l'apparition de ces oscillations. En particulier, on constate que ces oscillations ne sont observées que dans la seconde moitié du tir. On suppose que la transition laminaire-turbulent de l'écoulement joue un rôle dans ce phénomène. Par ailleurs, l'utilisation possible de la géométrie étoilée pour les blocs de propergol de géométrie étoilée oblige à reprendre l'étude de stabilité linéaire pour l'étude de ces oscillations. Cette thèse porte ainsi à la fois sur l'étude de la stabilité linéaire de l'écoulement induit par une géométrie étoilée et sur la transition laminaire-turbulent d'une configuration circulaire. Une solution analytique de l'écoulement au sein d'un conduit à paroi débitante de géométrie étoilée est d'abord obtenue. Le profil de vitesse associé peut présenter des points d'inflexion en fonction de la déformation radiale ou du nombre de Reynolds de l'écoulement. Ensuite les approches de stabilité linéaire locale et biglobale sont appliquées à cette solution. Par rapport au cas circulaire, cette étude de stabilité linéaire met en évidence la possible existence d'un ou plusieurs modes amplifiés. Enfin, une simulation numérique LES de la transition laminaire-turbulent de la configuration du montage VALDO est effectuée. / Solid rocket motors may exhibit thrust oscillations induced by pressure oscillations inside the engine. In the scientific literature, the so-called vortex shedding parietal, a hydrodynamic instability specific to the internal flow, has been proven to be the triggering mechanism through linear stability analyses. However, some questions still remain. These oscillations are observed during the second half of Ariane 5 launches only, the laminar-turbulent transition of the intern flow being expected to play a significant role in that behavior. Additionally, non-circular grain shapes used in some engines may impact the stability study. The present PhD work extends the base flow linear stability studies to star-shaped geometries and investigate transition mechanisms in a circular configuration. Firstly, an analytical expression of the base flow in a duct with a star-shaped cross-section is determined. Wall-normal injection is assumed, which is representative of solid rocket engines. The velocity profile may exhibit an inflection point depending on both the Reynolds number and wall radial deformation. Secondly, both local and biglobal stability analyses are applied to this flow. In contrast to the circular case, the flow may exhibit one or several unstable modes. Lastly, a large eddy simulation of the VALDO experimental test bench is performed. The influence of the acoustic impedance of the outflow boundary condition on the amplitude of pressure oscillations is highlighted.

Cette thèse propose la reformulation et l'implantation d'une méthode simplifiée de prévision de la transition laminaire-turbulent naturelle, la méthode des paraboles. Elle s'appuie sur une base de donnée pour fournir une expression analytique des taux d'amplification de perturbations modales de la couche limite. Ces perturbations prennent naissance dans la couche limite à travers un mécanisme de réceptivité, puis connaissent une croissance linéaire suivie d'interactions non-linéaires qui conduisent à la transition vers la turbulence.La méthode du facteur-N permet la prévision de la position de transition en supposant qu'elle a lieu quand l'amplification linéaire totale d'un mode des perturbations a atteint une amplitude critique.L'amplification totale est obtenue en intégrant les taux d'amplifications des perturbations le long de la ligne de courant extérieure à la couche limite.Cette formulation intégrale n'est pas adaptée aux codes RANS et ces travaux proposent une reformulation de la méthode du facteur-N sous forme d'équation de transport, dont le terme source dépend du taux d'amplification des perturbations donné par la méthode des paraboles.Le modèle qui en résulte (N-sigma-P ou NSP) permet de déterminer si un point donné est en amont ou en aval du point de transition et ainsi de prévoir la position de transition, pour des configurations où la transition est déclenchée par des modes longitudinaux (ondes de Tollmien-Schlichting) ou transverses (crossflow). / A simplified laminar-turbulent transition prediction method (the so-called parabolas method) is recast into a RANS compatible formulation.The parabolas method is a database approach that gives an estimation of the growth rates of modal perturbations growing in the boundary layer.These perturbations rise through a process called receptivity and undergo a linear modal growth, followed by non-linear interactions that lead to a breakdown to transition. The N-factor (or e-to-N) method predicts the transition location under the assumption that transition occurs when the total linear growth of a mode reaches a prescribed threshold. This total growth is obtained via an integration of a mode's growth rate along the boundary-layer edge streamline. This classical integral formulation is not suitable in a RANS context and is therefore recast into a set of transport equations whose source terms depend on the growth rates given by the parabolas method.The resulting model (N-sigma-P or NSP) predicts if a given point in the flow field is up- or downstream of the transition location. It has been validated for cases where transition was triggered by longitudinal (Tollmien-Schlichting) and crossflow modes.
