Near-wall Measurements of a Three-dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layer

Pages : 222
Book Description
In order to improve predictions of flow behavior in numerous applications there is a great need to understand the physics of three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers, dominated by near-wall behavior. To that end, an experiment was performed to measure near-wall velocity and Reynolds stress profiles in a pressure-driven three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer. The flow was achieved by placing a 30 deg wedge in a straight duct in a wind tunnel, with-additional pressure gradient control above the test surface. An initially two-dimensional boundary layer (Re approx. equal 4000) was exposed to a strong spanwise pressure gradient. At the furthest downstream measurement locations there was also a fairly strong favorable pressure gradient. Measurements were made using a specially-designed near-wall laser Doppler anemometer (LDA), in addition to conventional methods. The LDA used short focal length optics, a mirror probe suspended in the flow, and side-scatter collection to achieve a nearly spherical measuring volume approximately 35 microns in diameter. Good agreement with previous two-dimensional boundary layer data was achieved. The three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer data presented include mean velocity measurements and Reynolds stresses, all extending well below y(+) = 10, at several profile locations. Terms of the Reynolds stress transport equations are calculated at two profile locations. The mean flow is nearly collateral at the wall. Turbulent kinetic energy is mildly suppressed in the near-wall region and the shear stress components are strongly affected by three-dimensionality. As a result, the ratio of shear stress to turbulent kinetic energy is suppressed throughout most of the boundary layer. The angles of stress and strain are misaligned, except very near the wall (around y(+) = 10) where the angles nearly coincide with the mean flow angle.

Understanding Aerodynamics
Author: Doug McLean
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119967511
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 581
Book Description
Much-needed, fresh approach that brings a greater insight into the physical understanding of aerodynamics Based on the author’s decades of industrial experience with Boeing, this book helps students and practicing engineers to gain a greater physical understanding of aerodynamics. Relying on clear physical arguments and examples, Mclean provides a much-needed, fresh approach to this sometimes contentious subject without shying away from addressing "real" aerodynamic situations as opposed to the oversimplified ones frequently used for mathematical convenience. Motivated by the belief that engineering practice is enhanced in the long run by a robust understanding of the basics as well as real cause-and-effect relationships that lie behind the theory, he provides intuitive physical interpretations and explanations, debunking commonly-held misconceptions and misinterpretations, and building upon the contrasts provided by wrong explanations to strengthen understanding of the right ones. Provides a refreshing view of aerodynamics that is based on the author’s decades of industrial experience yet is always tied to basic fundamentals. Provides intuitive physical interpretations and explanations, debunking commonly-held misconceptions and misinterpretations Offers new insights to some familiar topics, for example, what the Biot-Savart law really means and why it causes so much confusion, what “Reynolds number” and “incompressible flow” really mean, and a real physical explanation for how an airfoil produces lift. Addresses "real" aerodynamic situations as opposed to the oversimplified ones frequently used for mathematical convenience, and omits mathematical details whenever the physical understanding can be conveyed without them.
