Simulation of the turbulent axisymmetric bluff body wake with pulsed jet forcing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A turbulent axisymmetric bluff body wake is investigated using large eddy simulation to uncover key flow dynamics and structures. The effect of low-frequency high-frequency pulsed jet forcing at the point separation studied reveal underlying mechanisms involved in base pressure changes, which provide a reference for drag reduction active control.

Transitions to chaos in the wake of an axisymmetric bluff body
This letter aims at understanding the dynamical process that leads to the onset of chaos in the flow past a blunt-based axisymmetric bluff body. On the basis of direct numerical simulations, conducted for Reynolds numbers ranging from 100 to 900, we show that the flow undergoes multiple transitions, successively giving rise to the SS, RSPa, RSPb, RSPc and RSB wake states. In particular, the RSP...
متن کاملStochastic modelling and feedback control of bistability in a turbulent bluff body wake
A specific feature of three-dimensional bluff body wakes, flow bistability, is a subject of particular recent interest. This feature consists of a random flipping of the wake between two asymmetric configurations and is believed to contribute to the pressure drag of many bluff bodies. In this study we apply the modelling approach recently suggested for axisymmetric bodies by Rigas et al. (J. Fl...
متن کاملOptimal stretching in the reacting wake of a bluff body.
We experimentally study spreading of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction behind a bluff body in a laminar flow. Locations of reacted regions (i.e., regions with high product concentration) correlate with a moderate range of Lagrangian stretching and that range is close to the range of optimal stretching previously observed in topologically different flows [T. D. Nevins and D. H. Kelley, Phys. Rev...
متن کاملUnsteady features of bluff body wake with application to building wake length
This study is targeted at obtaining fluctuating characteristics of building wakes through measurement of unsteady velocity fields with time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV). Proper orthogonal decomposition is applied to the PIV data to identify low-dimensional substructures of the building wake. This leads to a more reliable estimation of the fluctuating ground-level length of the buil...
متن کاملWeakly nonlinear modelling of a forced turbulent axisymmetric wake
A theory is presented where the weakly nonlinear analysis of laminar globally unstable flows in the presence of external forcing is extended to the turbulent regime. The analysis is demonstrated and validated using experimental results of an axisymmetric bluff-body wake at high Reynolds numbers, ReD ∼ 1.88 × 105, where forcing is applied using a zero-net-mass-flux actuator located at the base o...
