An intermittency model for predicting roughness induced transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
An intermittency transport equation for RANS modeling, formulated in local variables, is extended for roughness-induced transition. To predict roughness effects in the fully turbulent boundary layer, published boundary conditions for k and ω are used. They depend on the equivalent sand-grain roughness height, and account for the effective displacement of wall distance origin. Similarly in our approach, wall distance in the transition model for smooth surfaces is modified by an effective origin, which depends on equivalent sand-grain roughness. Flat plate test cases are computed to show that the proposed model is able to predict transition onset in agreement with a data correlation of transition location versus roughness height, Reynolds number, and inlet turbulence intensity. Experimental data for turbine cascades are compared to the predicted results to validate the proposed model.

An ANFIS-based Approach for Predicting the Manning Roughness Coefficient in Alluvial Channels at the Bank-full Stage
An intelligent method based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for identifying Manning’s roughness coefficients in modeling of alluvial river is presented. The procedure for selecting values of Manning n is subjective and requires judgment and skill which are developed primarily through experience. During practical applications, researchers often find that a correct choice of the ...
متن کاملStochastic spatiotemporal intermittency and noise-induced transition to an absorbing phase
We introduce a stochastic partial differential equation capable of reproducing the main features of spatiotemporal intermittency (STI). The model also displays a noise-induced transition from STI to laminarity as the noise intensity increases. Simulations and mean-field analysis are used to characterize this transition and to give a quantitative prescription of its loci in the relevant paramete...
متن کاملHeight fluctuations and intermittency of V 2 O 5 films by atomic force microscopy
The spatial scaling law and intermittency of the V2O5 surface roughness has been investigated by atomic force microscopy. The intermittency of the height fluctuations has been checked by two different methods, first, by measuring the scaling exponent of the qth moment of height-difference fluctuations i.e. Cq = 〈|h(x1)− h(x2)|q〉, and second, by defining the generating function Z(q, N) and gener...

Various classic icing codes have been developed and used by the aircraft manufacturers to predict the ice shapes evolution. These codes apply boundary layer integral analysis, based on sand grain roughness, to estimate the convective heat transfer coefficient around the iced airfoil and adopt abrupt transition between laminar and turbulent flow. In the present work, the integral analysis is als...
