The double backward-facing step: effect of forcing on interacting separated flow regions

چکیده
This paper demonstrates experimentally that imposed periodic forcing can significantly alter the global flow characteristics of over a double backward-facing step. The geometry consists two equal height steps spaced up to eight step heights apart. A zero-mass flux jet located at first step's top corner was issued frequencies ranging from below step-mode instability frequency approximately five times shear-layer frequency. Reattachment onto achieved for separations as low three single-step with forcing; shorter than occurred without forcing. significant reduction in mean base pressure on step, and increase second frequencies. Even large separations, effect persisted sufficiently far downstream appreciably influence development recirculation zone. Importantly, previous forced single unforced flows provide reference cases examine discuss similarities differences. study offers insight into possibilities potential outcomes control applications drag ground vehicles such pickup trucks, enhanced mixing industrial processes.

Reverse flow regions in three-dimensional backward-facing step flow
Laser-Doppler velocity measurements adjacent to the bounding walls of three-dimensional (3-D) backward-facing step flow are performed for the purpose of mapping the boundaries of the reverse flow regions that develop in this geometry (adjacent to the sidewalls, the flat wall and the stepped wall) as a function of the Reynolds number. The backward-facing step geometry is configured by a step hei...
متن کاملTurbulent separated convection flow adjacent to backward-facing step—effects of step height
Simulations of turbulent convection flow adjacent to a two-dimensional backward-facing step are presented to explore the effects of step height on turbulent separated flow and heat transfer. Reynolds number and duct’s height downstream from the step are kept constant at Re0 = 28,000 and H = 0.19 m, respectively. Uniform and constant heat flux of qw = 270 W/m 2 is specified at the stepped wall d...

In the present study, a hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian methodology is utilized for large eddy simulation (LES) of premixed fuel/air flow over a three-dimensional backward facing step (BFS). The fluid dynamic features are obtained by solving the Eulerian filtered compressible transport equations while the species are predicted by using the filtered mass density function method (FMDF). Some scalar f...
