Análise do software CFD++ com vistas a simulação da geração de som em um eslate / The CFD++ analysis aiming the simulation of the slat generated noiseMalatesta, Vinicius 11 March 2010 (has links)
A poluição sonora é um problema central de uma grande diversidade de aplicações industriais. Na engenharia, podemos citar diversos casos que geram ruído, como exemplos os trens, automóveis, rotores de helicópteros e o ruído aerodinâmico das aeronaves, o qual se divide em ruído gerado pelos motores a jato e a estruturas da aeronave. No presente momento o ruído dos motores aeronáuticos, principalmente os jatos, atingiu níveis de ruídos semelhantes às estruturas da aeronave, como por exemplo, eslates, flaps e trens de pouso. Desta forma, as autoridades de transporte aéreo estão exigindo também redução no ruído das estruturas. O presente trabalho apresenta a verificação das potencialidades e limitações do software CFD++, programa este adquirido pela EMBRAER e inserido como parte do projeto Aeronave Silenciosa, para assim poder compreender de uma melhor maneira o fenômeno da aeroacústica, e deste modo, poder contribuir para a redução do ruído externo das aeronaves. Para verificar as potencialidades e limitações do CFD++, foi proposto investigar o mecanismo de som do eslate.

In engineering, cite several cases that generate noise, as examples trains, automobiles, rotors of helicopters and the noise generated by aircraft, which is divided into noise generated by jet engines and airframe. At present the noise of aircraft engines, largely the jets reached noise levels similar structures, such as slat, flaps and landing gear. Thus, the air transport authorities are also demanding a reduction in noise of the structures of airframe. This report presents the verification of potentialities and limitations of CFD++, a program acquired by EMBRAER and inserted as part of the Silent Aircraft, so they can understand better how the phenomenon of aeroacoustics, and thus able to reduce contribute external noise from aircraft. To check the potentialities and limitations of CFD++, was proposed to investigate the mechanism of sound generated by the slat. This phenomenon is due to the displacement of the boundary layer on the lower surface of the slat from which the mixed layer develops. The mixing layer is the focus of this work.

Aeroacústica e instabilidades de uma camada de mistura compressível / Flow instability and aeroacoustics of a compressible mixing layerAlysson Kennerly Colaciti 20 February 2009 (has links)
Tanto os motores turbo-jato quanto os turbo-fan, são os maiores responsáveis pela geração de ruído durante a decolagem, segmento de subida e de aceleração de uma aeronave. Devido a isto, o problema de ruído em jatos vem sendo intensamente investigado ao longo dos últimos anos. Já na fase do pouso, o slat é uma das fontes de ruído mais importantes. Para este caso, na maioria das aplicações práticas, existe o descolamento da camada limite no intradorso do slat a partir de onde se desenvolve uma camada de mistura. Ainda assim, existem inúmeros aspectos de tais escoamentos que precisam de investigação. Uma abordagem frequentemente feita para o estudo da instabilidade hidrodinâmica e ruído em jatos é o estudo de metade do jato. A estratégia consiste em estudar os fenômenos na camada de mistura, o que é uma aproximação razoável quando o jato tem diâmetro muito grande comparado à espessura da camada cisalhante que se desenvolve nas bordas do jato. Assim, alguns aspectos do ruído gerado pelos modos axi-simétricos de instabilidade são em grande parte reproduzidos. Um aspecto aparentemente jamais estudado antes é o efeito do emparelhamento de vórtices de diferentes geometrias na camada de mistura. Caso o efeito da modulação dos vórtices produzisse um padrão de ruído com características diferentes no emparelhamento, um controle ativo de escoamento por excitação periódica poderia ser usado para reduzir o ruído em jatos. O objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar tal efeito. A idéia é investigar este emparelhamento de vórtices na camada de mistura em desenvolvimento temporal bi-dimensional. Com isto foi possível visualizar um emparelhamento isolado de outros emparelhamentos e sem o efeito Doppler (presente na camada de mistura em desenvolvimento espacial). O método adotado foi a simulação numérica direta (DNS) das equações de Navier Stokes compressíveis na forma não-conservativa escritas na formulação característica. Os resultados mostram que a modulação dos vórtices não produz alteração significativa do ruído gerado no emparelhamento. / Turbo-fan and turbo-jet engines are the most important noise sources during the aircraft take off, climb and acceleration segments. Owing to this fact, the jet flow noise has been studied in the past years. For the landing stage, the slat is an important sound source. In this case, the slat leading edge frequently experiences a boundary layer deattachment causing the development of a mixing layer inside the slot. Nevertheless, there are many aspects of such phenomenon that have not been studied yet. Mixing layers constitutes an usual approach for jet flow instability in aeroacoustics studies. The stategy is to study the mixing layer in order to understand the jet-flow. This strategy becomes better as the ratio between the jet diameter and mixing layer thickness becomes larger. This approach is only reazonable for the jet flow axi-symetric unstable modes. The effect of vortex modulation on the vortex pairing sound production has not been found in the literature. If such effect could cause a significant change in the sound generation patterns, an active flow control system could be developed in order to enhance the jet noise performance. The purpose of the present work was to investigate such effect. It was also possible to observe a single vortex pairing inside a wide domain without the Doppler effect. The strategy was to study the vortex pairing in a bi-dimensional mixing layer under temporal development. The method used was the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the compressible bidimensional (2D) Navier Stokes equations written in a nonconservative form of the characteristics formulation. The results showed that the vortex modulation did not produce a significant change on the vortex pairing sound.

Bio-Inspired Trailing Edge Noise Control: Acoustic and Flow MeasurementsMillican, Anthony J. 09 May 2017 (has links)
Trailing edge noise control is an important problem associated mainly with wind turbines. As turbulence in the air flows over a wind turbine blade, it impacts the trailing edge and scatters, producing noise. Traditional methods of noise control involve modifying the physical trailing edge, or the scattering efficiency. Recently, inspired by the downy covering of owl feathers, researchers developed treatments that can be applied to the trailing edge to significantly reduce trailing edge noise. It was hypothesized that the noise reduction was due to manipulating the incoming turbulence, rather than the physical trailing edge itself, representing a new method of noise control. However, only acoustic measurements were reported, meaning the associated flow physics were still unknown. This thesis describes a comprehensive wall jet experiment to measure the flow effects near the bio-inspired treatments, termed “finlets” and “rails,” and relate those flow effects to the noise reduction. This was done using far-field microphones, a single hot-wire probe, and surface pressure fluctuation microphones. The far-field noise results showed that each treatment successfully reduced the noise, by up to 7 dB in some cases. The surface pressure measurements showed that the spanwise coherence was slightly reduced when the treatments were applied to the trailing edge. The velocity measurements clearly established the presence of a shear layer near the top of the treatments. As a whole, the dataset led to the shear-sheltering hypothesis: the bio-inspired treatments are effective based on reducing the spanwise pressure correlation and by sheltering the trailing edge from turbulent structures with the shear layer they create. / Master of Science / This thesis describes a project aimed at developing a technology inspired by the silent flight of owls, with the end goal of using this technology to reduce the noise generated by wind turbines. Specifically, the phenomenon known as "trailing edge noise" is the primary source of wind turbine noise, and is the noise source of interest here. It occurs when air turbulence (which can be thought of as unsteady air fluctuations) crashes into the rear (trailing) edge of wind turbine blades, scattering and producing noise. Typically, methods of reducing this noise source involve changing the shape of the trailing edge; this may not always be practical for existing wind turbines. Recently, inspired by the downy covering of owl feathers, researchers developed treatments that can be applied directly to the trailing edge, significantly reducing trailing edge noise. This bio-inspired concept was verified with numerous acoustic measurements. Based on those measurements, researchers hypothesized that the noise reduction was achieved by manipulating the incoming turbulence before it scattered off the trailing edge, rather than by changing the existing wind turbine blade, representing a new method of trailing edge noise control. However, as only acoustic measurements (not flow measurements) were reported, the changes in turbulence could not be examined.
With the above motivation in mind, this thesis describes a comprehensive wind tunnel experiment to measure the changes in the aerodynamics and turbulence near the bio-inspired treatments, and relate those changes to the reduction in trailing edge noise. This was done using a hot-wire probe to measure the aerodynamics, as well as microphones to measure the radiated noise and surface pressure fluctuations. As a whole, the experimental results led to the shear-sheltering hypothesis: the bio-inspired treatments are effective based on the creation of a shear layer (a thin region between areas with different air speeds) which shelters the trailing edge from some turbulence, as well as by de-correlating surface pressure fluctuations along the trailing edge.

Recirculation à l’aval de l’élargissement brusque d’un écoulement à surface libre peu profond / Recirculation zone developing downstream of an expansion in a shallow open-channel flowHan, Lei 05 February 2015 (has links)
Le travail présenté ici a pour objet l’étude de la zone de recirculation qui se développe à l’aval d’un élargissement brusque ayant lieu dans un canal à surface libre, avec une attention particulière portée sur la longueur de recirculation. Ce travail consiste en une approche combinée expérimentale et numérique. L’analyse dimensionnelle ainsi que les travaux préliminaires antérieurs à cette thèse montrent que la longueur de recirculation adimensionnée dépend de 3 paramètres que sont : le nombre de frottement S, la hauteur d’eau adimensionnée par la taille de l’élargissement h/d et enfin le rapport géométrique de l’élargissement Rb. Cependant, faire varier dans les expériences S ou h/d sans affecter l’autre paramètre s’avère être une tâche très délicate qui a été négligée dans les études précédentes. En utilisant cette même approche, les résultats présentés ici font état d’une forme de cloche très inattendue de la courbe : L/d= f (S). Ces résultats sont en fort désaccord avec ceux de la littérature. Afin d’améliorer notre approche et de faire varier S et h/d indépendamment, une campagne de modélisation numérique 3D est menée et prouve que L/d dépend en fait des deux paramètres considérés S et h/d et que la forme de cloche résulte des influences opposées de ces deux paramètres. De plus, l’analyse de la couche de mélange qui prend place entre la zone de recirculation et l’écoulement principal, mesurée expérimentalement pour 4 écoulements à différentes valeurs de S et h/d montre que la longueur de la zone de recirculation est gouvernée par le confinement latéral dû à la paroi latérale et à la taille des cellules turbulentes advectée le long de la couche de mélange. Pour aller plus loin, les bilans de quantité de mouvement et d’énergie à l’échelle de l’écoulement dans son ensemble montrent que i) la force de cisaillement exercée le long de la couche de mélange est négligeable par rapport aux autres forces mises en jeu et ii) que la réelle signification de S est de quantifier l’intensité du frottement du fond à l’échelle de l’écoulement global intervenant dans ces bilans. Les différents régimes d’écoulement qui peuvent être rencontrés dépendent donc: i) selon la valeur du nombre de frottement S l’écoulement peut être frictionnel (S élevé) ou non-frictionnel (S faible) et ii) selon la valeur de la hauteur d’eau adimensionnelle, l’écoulement peut être confiné verticalement (faible valeur de h/d) ou non-confiné (forte valeur de h/d). Une corrélation empirique permettant d’estimer la longueur de la zone de recirculation L/d en fonction des paramètres S, Rb and h/d est finalement obtenue. Elle s’avère être en bon accord avec les calculs numériques et les mesures expérimentales. / The present research focuses on the recirculation zone developing downstream of an expansion in a shallow open-channel flow with a specific attention on its length. The work consists of combined experimental and numerical approaches. The dimensional analysis and previous studies permit to express the dimensionless recirculation length as a function of 3 parameters: the friction number S, the ratio between the water depth and the expansion step h/d and the geometrical aspect ratio Rb. Nevertheless, varying either S or h/d on the experimental set-up without affecting the other is a complicated task which was not performed by previous studies. Following this approach permitted to obtain an unexpected bell shape for the L/d=f(S) curve, differing form the literature results. In order to improve the approach and vary S and h/d independently, a 3D numerical campaign was performed and proved that L/d actually depends both on S and h/d parameters and that the bell shape is in fact the consequence of the opposite influence of both parameters. Moreover, the precise experimental analysis of themixing layer at the frontier between the main flow and the recirculation for flows with different S and h/d values showed that the recirculation length is governed by the lateral confinement due to the reattachment wall and the size of the eddies present in the mixing layer. Hence, an integral approach is adopted, using balances of momentum and of energy at the whole flow scale, showing: i) that the shear force exerted along the mixing layer is negligible compared to the other forces and ii) that the meaning of S parameter is to quantify the intensity of the bottom friction of the whole flow on these balance. The following regimes can thus be encountered: i) according to the bed friction S values, the flow can be non-frictional (small S) or frictional (large S) and ii) according to the relative water depth, the flow can be vertically unconfined (large h/d) or confined (small h/d). An empirical correlation permitting to estimate the recirculation length L/d as a function of S, Rb and h/d is finally obtained and appears to fairly fit the numerical calculations and experimental measurements.

[en] NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF FLOW WITHIN AND ABOVE FOREST CANOPY / [pt] INVESTIGAÇÃO NUMÉRICA DO ESCOAMENTO DENTRO E ACIMA DO DOSSEL DE FLORESTASREGINALDO ROSA COTTO DE PAULA 24 April 2008 (has links)
[pt] Neste trabalho três métodos foram utilizados para estudar
o
escoamento turbulento em regiões de florestas. No
primeiro
método, a influência da vegetação no escoamento foi
modelada através da adição de termos fontes
nas equações de quantidade de movimento, energia cinética
turbulenta e sua taxa de dissipação. No segundo, a
vegetação foi considerada um meio poroso homogêneo.
Finalmente, a camada do dossel foi representada por
modelos
3-D de árvores, consideradas como obstáculos individuais.
As equações foram resolvidas através do modelo de
turbulência k −E padrão com o programa comercial FLUENT
6.2.16. As previsões dos perfis verticais da velocidade
do vento médio, da intensidade da turbulência e dos
tensores de Reynolds, foram comparadas com dados de
experimentos de túnel de vento. Os resultados preditos
dos
perfis verticais da velocidade média e intensidade
da turbulência, na primeira e na segunda metodologias,
apresentaram boa concordância com os valores
experimentais,
porém, foram observadas discrepâncias nos perfis
modelados
do tensor de Reynolds. Entretanto, qualitativamente,
a modelagem consegue capturar o comportamento físico do
tensor de Reynolds no interior de florestas. Uma possível
explicação para este fato, é que o modelo considera a
isotropia para a viscosidade turbulenta,
implicando na incapacidade de prever qualquer forte
anisotropia do campo turbulento. Na terceira metodologia,
as previsões dos perfis verticais de velocidade
média e intensidade da turbulência apresentaram
discrepâncias em relação às medições. Porém, os perfis
verticais do tensor de Reynolds apresentaram
boa concordância. Todos os perfis verticais da velocidade
média apresentaram um ponto de inflexão na interface
vegetação-atmosfera, característico de uma camada de
mistura. Nas duas primeiras metodologias, este
padrão foi confirmado nos perfis de tangente hiperbólica
de uma camada de mistura. / [en] This work investigates different procedures in order to
study the
turbulent flow over the scale model of a forest region.
Initially, the canopy
flow was modeled by using source terms in the momentum,
turbulent kinetic
energy and its dissipation rate equations. After that, the
forest canopy was
considered a homogeneous porous medium. In the last step,
the canopy
boundary layer was modeled by artificial 3-D tree models.
This was done
by using the standard k−E turbulence model with the FLUENT
commercial
program. The modeled profiles of mean velocity, turbulence
intensity and
Reynolds stress were compared against data from wind tunnel
experiments.
In the two first methodologies, the model predictions of
the vertical profiles
of the wind speed and turbulence intensity showed good
agreement with
the experimental data. It was found that predictions of the
Reynolds
tensor were sensitive to the parameterization scheme of the
standard k −E
model. However, qualitatively, the model was capable of
predicting the
physical behavior of the Reynolds stress tensor in the
canopy flow. A
possible explanation for this behavior is the omission of
any anisotropic
eddy-viscosity effects within the k - E modelling approach.
When it was
considered the tree array, the model predictions for the
wind speed and
turbulence intensity were less satisfactory. However, it
was found that the
predicted results of the Reynolds stress tensor agreed well
with the measured
data. All the vertical profiles of the mean velocity
contained an inflection
point, something which is a necessary criterion for the
mixing layer flow.
In the tree array, the modeled results failed to the
capture this behavior
of the canopy flow. In the 2-D numerical simulations, it
was found the
characteristic hyperbolic tangent profile of a mixing layer.

Low-dimensional modeling and control of shear flows using cluster analysis / Modélisation d'ordre réduit et contrôle d'écoulements cisaillés par partitionnement des donnéesKaiser, Eurika 03 December 2015 (has links)
Une modélisation d'ordre réduit basée sur le partitionnement des données (cluster-based reduced-order modelling ou CROM) est développée pour identifier de manière non supervisée des mécanismes d'interaction non linéaires. La connaissance de ces mécanismes permet de pronostiquer la formation d’événements souhaitables ou non. L’approche proposée adopteun point de vue probabiliste en mettant à profit la linéarité de l’équation d’évolution de probabilité qui tient cependant compte d'éventuelles actions non linéaires des actionneurs. Le cadre est appliqué à l’attracteur de Lorenz, aux données numériques de la couche de mélange, à la turbulence tridimensionnelle du sillage d’un corps non profilé, d’un train, et aux données expérimentales d’un moteur à combustion.Pour ces exemples, le CROM permettait l'identification des quasi-attracteurs par exemple les deux régimes d’écoulement de la couche de mélange ou les états bimodaux du corps Ahmed . Les transitions principales entre ces quasi-attracteurs sont caractérisées par des regroupements de données appelé « flipper cluster ». L'identification de ces « flipper cluster » peut servir pour le contrôle des écoulements en utilisant le partitionnement des données obtenues par exemple de l'évolution temporelle de la traînée ou de la portance.Un contrôle en boucle fermé basé sur la CROM est appliqué à un écoulement le long d'une rampe courbée en vue de diminuer les extensions de la zone de recirculation par rapport à la meilleure excitation périodique en boucle ouverte. L'actionneur est mis en marche en fonction des regroupements préalablement observés. Le résultat est comparé à l’ensemble des lois de contrôle définies par toutes les combinaisons possibles des « on » et « of » par les regroupements de données. Bien quele contrôle basé sur la CROM ne permet pas de réduire la zone de recirculation par rapport à la réduction maximale en boucle ouverte, 28 % de l'apport d 'énergie nécessaire et 81 % pour une loi de contrôle particulière peuvent être économisé. / A cluster-based reduced-order modeling strategy is developed for the unsupervised identification of nonlinear flow mechanisms and precursors to desirable or undesirable events. The proposed approach assumes a probabilistic viewpoint taking advantage of the linearity of the evolution equation for the probability while including nonlinear actuation dynamics.The framework is applied to the Lorenz attractor, numerical data of the spatially evolving mixing layer, the three-dimensional turbulent wake of a bluf body, of a train, and experimental data of a combustion engine.For these examples, CROM has been shown to identify quasi-attractors such as the two shedding regimes of the mixing layer or the bimodal states of the Ahmed body; main transition processes between those quasiattractors are characterized by branching regions or flipper cluster; desirable phase space regions and possible actuation mechanisms areindicated by analysis of cluster features like drag and lift forces which can be further exploited for control purposes.In particular, a CROM-based feedback control is applied to a separating flow over a smooth ramp to examine whether the recirculation area can be diminished compared to the best open-loop periodic excitation by turning the actuation on or of depending on the applicable cluster. The CROMbased control is compared to the complete set of control laws defined byall possible combinations of 'on' and 'of' for the given set of clusters.While the recirculation area cannot be further decreased compared to the best open-loop forcing, a similar size can be achieved for 28% (CROMbased control) or 81% (one particular control law) savings in the control input energy.

Simulação numérica da evolução linear e não linear em uma camada de mistura compressível tridimensional / Numerical simulation of the linear and non-linear evolution in a three-dimensional compressible mixing layerGermanos, Ricardo Alberto Coppola 05 February 2009 (has links)
As aplicações aeroespaciais estão frequentemente associadas a escoamentos compressíveis com altíssimos números de Reynolds. No entanto, existem no contexto aeroespacial importantes aplicações que envolvem escoamentos compressíveis a Reynolds relativamente baixos. Entre eles se destacam o escoamento em pás de turbina a gás e ao redor de dispositivos de alta sustentação como eslates e flapes em grandes ângulos de ataque. Pode-se destacar também o processo de combustão supersônica que está intimamente ligado e é fortemente beneficiado pelo presente estudo. Nas aplicações aerodinâmicas em baixos números de Reynolds frequentemente uma parcela significativa do escoamento se apresenta no regime de transição para turbulência, ou nos estágios iniciais do escoamento turbulento. O objetivo do presente projeto é a simulação numérica direta de escoamentos compressíveis transicionais com desenvolvimento de um código para simulação em três dimensões de escoamentos alto subsônicos. O escoamento a ser estudado no projeto é a evolução linear e não linear de trens de onda e pacotes de onda em uma camada de mistura compressível. A solução das equações de Navier-Stokes é obtida através do método das diferenças finitas. As derivadas espaciais são resolvidas através de um método compacto de sexta ordem, enquanto que as derivadas temporais são resolvidas através do método de Runge-Kutta de quarta ordem. Os métodos de aproximação foram modificados para trabalhar com malhas não uniformes visando refinar a malha em pontos em que o fenômeno ocorre e, consequentemente, reduzir o custo computacional. A investigação numérica inicia-se com a análise da taxa de amplificação dos trens de ondas fortemente modulados em regime linear. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados favoravelmente com a teoria linear. Os testes foram estendidos para a análise não linear, e consequentemente, foi possível reproduzir os fenômenos clássicos de instabilidade hidrodinâmica através da evolução dos trens de ondas oblíquos. / Aerospace applications are frequently associated with compressible flows at relatively high Reynolds number. Nevertheless important applications involve compressible flows at relatively low Reynolds number in the aerospace context. Among them, the flow on gas turbine blades and high lift devices such as slats and flaps at high angle of attack are particulary important. Besides, progress in aeroespace research is dependent on developing more efficient propulsion systems. In aerodynamic applications at low Reynolds number, often a substancial portion of the flow is in the transition regime, or in the initial stages of a turbulent flow. The objective of the present study is the Direct Numerical Simulation of three-dimensional transition of compressible flows in a mixing layer. Inspired on the worked devoted to modulated waves, the current work investigates the linear and nonlinear temporal evolution of wavetrains in this phenomenon. The Navier-Stokes equations were solved with a sixth-order compact finite-difference schemes. The time integration was performed by a fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme. Moreover, the methods to solve the spatial derivatives were modified to work with non-uniform grids. This technique was implemented with the objective to improve the resolution of the grid where the phenomenon occurs and to reduce the computational cost. The numerical investigation starts with an analysis of the growth rate of the wavetrains in linear regime to verify the numerical code. The results compared favourably with linear theory. Tests were also performed in the nonlinear regime to simulate the oblique wavetrains and it was possible to reproduce the classical hydrodynamic instability phenomena.
