PIV Investigation into the Evolution of Vortical Structures in the Zero Pressure Gradient Boundary Layer
نویسنده
چکیده
Experimental investigation has been carried out towards understanding the complex fluid dynamics involved in the interaction of vortical structures with zero pressure gradient boundary layer. A laminar boundary layer is produced on the flat plate placed in the water flume and the synthetic jet actuator is deployed on top of the plate at a definite distance from the leading edge. The synthetic jet actuator has been designed in such a way that the to and fro motion of the diaphragm is maneuvered at will by varying the operating parameters to produce the typical streamwise vortical structures namely hairpin and tilted vortices. PIV measurements are made on the streamwise plane normal to the plate to evaluate their interaction with the near wall fluid. Keywords—Boundary layer, synthetic jet actuator, flow separation control, vortical structures.

On Interaction of T S Waves and 3 D Localized Disturbance in a Divergent Flow Under Zero Pressure Gradient
To simulate the effect of free st ream turbulence on turbulent spot formation, experiments were conducted on the interaction of localized three-dimensional disturbances with the harmonic waves in a laminar boundary layer on a flat plate. Experiments conducted in three-dimensional diverging flow (but zero pressure gradient) show, while individually the disturbances decay downstream, their intera...

A high speed 3-D flow visualization system is synchronized with a 2-D particle image velocimetry (PIV) system to simultaneously capture instantaneous 3-D images with a 2-D PIV slice through the center of the measurement volume. Trials were performed on a zero pressure gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layer (Reθ ~ 4900) on the wall of a 2 ft x 2 ft open circuit wind tunnel. The experimental set...

Two high-speed stereo PIV (HS-SPIV) systems have been used for the characterization of pulsed and continuous jet actuators in the turbulent boundary layer (TBL) wind tunnel at ONERA Lille, an Eiffel type wind tunnel in suction mode with a low turbulence level. The test aimed at generating an aerodynamic database useful for the characterisation of (unsteady) vortical structures responsible for t...

The current study presents the results of the aerodynamic noise prediction of the flow field around a NACA 0012 airfoil at a chord-based Reynolds number of 100,000 and at 8.4 degree angle of attack. An incompressible Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model is applied to obtain the instantaneous turbulent flow field. The noise prediction is performed by the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-...
متن کاملDual-plane PIV investigation of structural features in a turbulent boundary layer
Simultaneous dual-plane PIV experiments were performed in streamwise-spanwise planes in the log region of a turbulent boundary layer at a moderate Reynolds number (Reτ ∼ 1100). The acquired datasets were used to resolve all 9 velocity gradients from which the complete vorticity vector and other invariant quantities like 3-D swirl strength were computed. These derived quantities were used to ana...
