In this thesis, development process of de-icing and anti-icing solutions and their flow instability characteristics are presented. In the beginning, the chemical additives in the solutions and their effects on the most critical physical properties of the solutions were investigated. Firstly, chemical additives were added to glycol and water mixtures at different weight ratios one by one in order to see their individual effects. Then, the changes in physical properties were observed when the chemicals were added to water-glycol mixture together. After that, study was focused on effect of polymer which makes the solution pseudoplastic. Further investigations on viscosity behavior of the solution at different pH values, glycol and water mixtures and surfactant weight ratios, which is used for surface tension reduction, were performed. For the investigation of flow instability characteristics of the solutions&rsquo / flows, linear stability analysis for two-layer flows is a basic tool. Firstly, the effects of main parameters on the stability of two-layer flows were observed with a parametric study. Then, the commercially available and developed de-icing and anti-icing solutions were compared according to the characteristics of unstable waves. According to the results, unstable waves on developed de-icing fluids are observed at a lower critical wind speed compared to the commercially available de-icing solution. Moreover, it flows off the wing faster due to a higher value of critical wave speed. Developed anti-icing solution has similar wave characteristics compared to commercially available anti-icing solution, except critical wave speed, which is significantly lower. However, this problem can be overcome by decreasing the viscosity of developed anti-icing solution at very low shear rates.

In this study, numerical investigations of stability and transition problems were performed for 2D compressible boundary layers over a flat plate in adiabatic wall condition. Emphasis was placed on linear stability theory. The mathematical formulation for 3D boundary layers with oblique waves including detailed theoretical information was followed by use of the numerical techniques for the solution of resulting differential system of the instability problem, consequently an eigenvalue problem. First, two-dimensional sinusoidal disturbances were analyzed at various Mach numbers including the subsonic, transonic, supersonic and even hypersonic flow speeds. In this case, the second mode (acoustic mode), namely the Mack mode, and its behavior with the increasing Mach number were visualized. The results were then compared with the available data in literature concluding with good agreements. Secondly, similar analysis was carried out for oblique waves. Here, not only the effect of flow speed but also the effect of wave orientation was demonstrated. For this purpose, instability problem was solved for several wave angles at each Mach number in the range of M=0 and M=5. In this respect, the angle at which the waves were most unstable was also obtained at each investigated flow speed. The resultant stability diagrams corresponding to M=4 and higher Mach numbers for which both first and the second modes appear revealed that plane waves were more stable than oblique waves for the Tollmien-Schlichting mode, however, this was the opposite for the acoustic mode where oblique waves were observed to be more stable. As a final step, estimation of the transition location was handled for the most unstable wave condition. Smith-Van Ingen transition method was applied as the prediction device. The results representing the influence of Mach number on transition Reynolds number were then compared with the experimental data as well as the numerical ones in literature ending up with very good agreements.

Density stratification is one of the essential underlying physical mechanisms for atmospheric and oceanic flow. As a first step to investigating the mechanisms of stratified turbulence, linear stability plays a critical role in determining under what conditions a flow remains stable or unstable. In the study of transition to stratified turbulence, a common vortex model, known as the Lamb-Chaplygin dipole, is used to investigate the conditions under which stratified flow transitions to turbulence. Numerous investigations have determined that a critical length scale, known as the buoyancy length, plays a key role in the breakdown and transition to stratified turbulence. At this buoyancy length scale, an instability unique to stratified flow, the zigzag instability, emerges. However investigations into sub-buoyancy length scales have remained unexplored. In this thesis we discover and investigate a new instability of the Lamb-Chaplyin dipole that exists at the sub-buoyancy scale. Through numerical linear stability analysis we show that this short-wave instability exhibits growth rates similar to that of the zigzag instability. We conclude with nonlinear studies of this short-wave instability and demonstrate this new instability saturates at a level proportional to the cube of the aspect ratio.

Le contrôle de l’instabilité de Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) est crucial pour la fusion par confinement inertiel (FCI) puisque son développement peut compromettre l’implosion et la correcte compression de la cible. En attaque directe, l’énergie fournie par l’irradiation de nombreux faisceaux laser provoque l’ablation de la couche externe de la cible (ablateur) et l’apparition résultante d’un plasma de basse densité en expansion. De ce fait, une très haute pression apparait autour de cette surface, ce qui conduit à l’accélération de la cible vers l’intérieur. On se trouve alors en présence d’un fluide de basse densité qui pousse et accélère le fluide plus dense. C’est une des situations typiques qui favorisent le développement de l’instabilité de RT. Cette thèse développe pour la première fois, dans le contexte de la FCI, une théorie linéaire de stabilité pour des structures à double front d’ablation, qui apparaissent quand des matériaux de nombre atomique modéré sont utilisés comme ablateurs. / The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is a major issue in inertial confinement fusion capable to prevent appropriate target implosions. In the direct-drive approach, the energy deposited by directed laser irradiation ablates off the external shell of the capsule (ablator) into a low-density expanding plasma. This induces a high pressure around the ablating target surface (ablation region) that accelerates the capsule radially inwards. This situation, a low density fluid pushing and accelerating a higher density one, is the standard situation for the development of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, and therefore a potential source of target compression degradation. For moderate-Z materials, the hydrodynamic structure of the ablation region is made up of two ablation fronts (double ablation front) due to the increasing importance of radiation effects. This thesis develops for the first time a linear stability theory of double ablation fronts for direct-drive inertial confinement fusion targets.

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

Embora a hidrodinâmica de fluidos viscoelásticos sejam fortemente afetadas pelo balanço entre forças inerciais e elásticas no escoamento, o efeito da elasticidade sobre a estabilidade de escoamentos inerciais não foi completamente estabelecida. No presente trabalho, estuda-se o que ocorre entre estes dois estados, na transição laminar-turbulenta. Especi- ficamente, é investigada a convecção de ondas de Tollmien-Schlichting para o escoamento incompressível de Poiseuille para um fluido viscoelástico, utilizando a equação constitutiva Oldroyd-B. Para isto, utiliza-se a Simulação Numérica Direta para verificar a estabilidade dos escoamentos de fluidos viscoelásticos a perturbações não estacionárias. Os resultados numéricos obtidos para escoamentos de fluidos viscoelásticos são comparados com os resultados de escoamentos de fluidos Newtonianos, que já estão bem documentados na comunidade científica.

Although the hydrodynamics of viscoelastic fluids are strongly affected by the balance between inertia and elastic forces in the flow, the effect of elasticity on the stability of inertial flows has not been completely established. In this work is studied what happens between these two states, the laminar-turbulent transition. Specifically, it will be investigated the convection of Tollmien-Schlichting waves to incompressible Poiseuille flow of viscoelastic fluid, using the constitutive equation Oldroyd-B. For this, the analysis is carried out by means of Direct Numerical Simulation to verify the stability of the non-stationary disturbances viscoelastic fluids flows. The numerical results obtained for viscoelastic fluids flows are compared with the results of Newtonian fluids flows, which are already well documented in scientific community. In addition, an Orr-Sommerfeld modified equation is deducted for a viscoelastic flow using Linear Stability Theory.

Boundary-layer transition from a laminar to a turbulent regime is a critical driver in the design of high-speed vehicles. The aerothermodynamic loads associated with transitional or fully turbulent hypersonic boundary layers are several times higher than those associated with laminar flow. The presence of isolated roughness elements on the surface of a body can accelerate the growth of incoming disturbances and introduce additional instability mechanisms in the flow field, eventually leading to a premature occurrence of transition. This dissertation studies the instabilities induced by three-dimensional discrete roughness elements located inside a high-speed boundary layer developing on a flat plate. Two-dimensional local linear stability theory (2D-LST) is employed to identify the instabilities evolving in the three-dimensional flow field that characterizes the wake induced by the roughness elements and to investigate their evolution downstream. A formulation of the disturbance energy evolution equation available for base flows depending on a single spatial direction is generalized for the first time to base flows featuring two inhomogeneous directions and perturbations depending on three spatial directions. This generalization allows to obtain a decomposition of the temporal growth rate of 2D-LST instabilities into the different contributions that lead to the production and dissipation of the total disturbance energy. This novel extension of the formulation provides an additional layer of information for understanding the energy exchange mechanisms between a three-dimensional base flow and the perturbations resulting from 2D-LST. Stability computations for a calorically perfect gas illustrate that the wake induced by the roughness elements supports the growth of different sinuous and varicose instabilities which coexist together with the Mack-mode perturbations that evolve in the flat-plate boundary layer, and which become modulated by the roughness-element wake. A single pair of sinuous and varicose disturbances is found to dominate the wake instability in the vicinity of the obstacles. The application of the newly developed decomposition of the temporal growth rate reveals that the roughness-induced wake modes extract most of their potential energy from the transport of entropy fluctuations across the base-flow temperature gradients and most of their kinetic energy from the work of the disturbance Reynolds stresses against the base-flow velocity gradients. Further downstream, the growth rate of the wake instabilities is found to be influenced by the presence of Mack-mode disturbances developing on the flat plate. Strong evidence is observed of a continuous synchronization mechanism between the wake instabilities and the Mack-mode perturbations. This phenomenon leads to an enhancement of the amplification rate of the wake modes far downstream of the roughness element, ultimately increasing the associated integrated amplification factors for some of the investigated conditions. The effects of vibrational molecular excitation and chemical non-equilibrium on the instabilities induced by a roughness element are studied for the case of a high-temperature boundary layer developing on a sharp wedge configuration. For this purpose, a 2D-LST solver for chemical non-equilibrium flows is developed for the first time, featuring a fully consistent implementation of the thermal and transport models employed for the base flow and the perturbation fields. This is achieved thanks to the automatic derivation and implementation tool (ADIT) available within the von Karman Institute extensible stability and transition analysis (VESTA) tool-kit, which enables an automatic derivation and implementation of the 2D-LST governing equations for different thermodynamic flow assumptions and models. The stability computations for this configuration show that sinuous and varicose disturbances also dominate the wake instability in the presence of vibrational molecular energy mode excitation and chemical reactions. The resulting base-flow cooling associated with the modeling of such high-temperature phenomena is found to have opposite stabilizing and destabilizing effects on the streamwise evolution of the sinuous and varicose instabilities. The modeling of vibrational excitation and chemical non-equilibrium acting exclusively on the perturbations is found to have a stabilizing influence in all cases. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur et technologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
