Flow facility design and experimental studies of wall-bounded turbulent shear-flows

Lindgren, Björn January 2002 (has links)
The presen present thesis spans a range of topics within thearea of turbulent flows, ranging from design of flow facilitiesto evaluation aluation of scaling laws and turbulence modelingdeling aspects through use of experimental data. A newwind-tunnel has been designed, constructed and evaluated at theDept. of Mechanics, KTH. Special attention was directed to thedesign of turning vanes that not only turn the flow but alsoallow for a large expansion without separation in the corners.The investigation of the flow quality confirmed that theconcept of expanding corners is feasible and may besuccessfully incorporated into low turbulence wind-tunnels. Theflow quality in the MTL wind-tunnel at the Dept. of Mechanics,KTH, was as also in investigated confirming that it still isvery good. The results are in general comparable to thosemeasured when the tunnel was as new, with the exception of thetemperature variation ariation that has decreased by a factorof 4 due to an improved cooling system. Experimental data from high Reynolds number zeropressure-gradient turbulent layers have been investigated.These studies have primarily focused on scaling laws withe.g.confirmation of an exponential velocity defect lawin a region, about half the size of the boundary layerthickness, located outside the logarithmic overlap region. Thestreamwise velocity probability density functions in theoverlap region was found to be self-similar when scaled withthe local rms value. Flow structures in the near-wall andbuffer regions were studied ande.g. the near-wall streak spacing was confirmed to beabout 100 viscous length units although the relative influenceof the near-wall streaks on the flow was as found to decreasewith increasing Reynolds number. The separated flow in an asymmetric plane diffuser wasdetermined using PIV and LDV. All three velocity componentswere measured in a plane along the centerline of the diffuser.Results for mean velocities, turbulence intensities andturbulence kinetic energy are presented, as well as forstreamlines and backflow coefficientcien describing theseparated region. Instantaneous velocity fields are alsopresented demonstrating the highly fluctuating flow. Resultsfor the above mentioned velocity quantities, together with theproduction of turbulence kinetic energy and the secondanisotropy inariant are also compared to data from simulationsbased on the k -wformulation with an EARSM model. The simulation datawere found to severely underestimate the size of the separationbubble. <b>Keywords:</b>Fluid mechanics, wind-tunnels, asymmetricdiffuser, turbulent boundary layer, flow structures, PDFs,modeling, symmetry methods.

Composite expansions for active and inactive motions in the streamwise Reynolds stress of turbulent boundary layers

McKee, Robert Joe, 1946- 05 October 2012 (has links)
The proper scaling and prediction of the streamwise Reynolds stress in turbulent boundary layers has been a controversial issue for more than a decade as its Reynolds Number dependence can not be removed by normal scaling. One issue that may explain the unusual behavior of the streamwise Reynolds stress is that it is affected by both active and inactive motions per the Townsend hypothesis. The goal of this research is to develop a composite expansion for the streamwise Reynolds stress in turbulent boundary layers that considers active and inactive motions, explains various Reynolds Number dependencies, and agrees with available data. Data for the Reynolds shear stress and the streamwise Reynolds stress from six sources are evaluated and as appropriate plotted on inner and outer scales. A new asymptotic representation for the Reynolds shear stress, <uv>+, that meets the requirements for a proper composite expansion is developed and applied. This new Reynolds shear stress composite expansion agrees with data and allows predictions of <uv>+ for any Reynolds Number. The streamwise Reynolds stress, <uu>+, can be separated into active and inactive parts and the Reynolds shear stress can be used to represent the active part. The inactive streamwise Reynolds stress, <uIuI>#, is separated from the complete <uu>+ in part of this work. An outer correlation equation with the correct asymptotic limits for the inactive streamwise Reynolds stress is developed and shown to fit the outer part of the <uIuI># data. A separate inner correlation equation for inner inactive streamwise Reynolds stress is developed and fit to data. Together these two equations form a composite expansion for the inactive streamwise Reynolds stress for flat plate boundary layers. This composite expansion for the inactive streamwise Reynolds stress can be combined with the Reynolds shear stress expansion to produce predictions for <uu>+ that agree with data. Thus a composite expansion for predicting the streamwise Reynolds stress in turbulent boundary layers is developed and shown to reproduce the correct trends, to agree with the available data, and to explain the Reynolds Number dependence of the streamwise Reynolds stress. / text
