Relaxation Features of a Turbulent Boundary Layer in an Unfavorable Pressure Gradient
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relaxation of a shear flow (the process of an equilibrium state recovery) caused by the presence of a disturbance source such as a wall fence, roughness elements or obstacle in a turbulent boundary layer is a slow process which can not be predicted, at least accurately, even on the basis of current turbulence models. Previous investigations [1 – 3] are devoted to the study of the process of the boundary-layer relaxation under the conditions of gradient-free streamwise flow. However, the majority of practical cases which deal, for example, with the development of optimum design of heat exchanger channels, of elements and units of airspace technology, is related to the class of nonequilibrium (by Clauser) flows forming in unfavorable pressure gradient. To the authors knowledge, paper [4] is the only which is actually devoted to the study of the turbulent boundary layer relaxation under the conditions of unfavorable pressure gradient for the case of flow around a obstacle of height h. Nearby the equilibrium state has not been reached right up to the last measuring cross section. It is quite evident that the studying in the conditions mentioned above of the behavior of a nonequilibrium turbulent boundary layer disturbed by the presence of a source of any geometry, is more actual problem.

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...
متن کاملConstant adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers
Significant progress has been made towards understanding the large scale features of wall-bounded shear flow in zero pressure gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layers (TBL). Here we consider their effects in adverse pressure gradient (APG) flows where the pressure gradient parameter is held constant and Reynolds number is varied. This is done by documenting the changes in the mean velocity, str...

In this paper, the similarity solution of turbulent boundary layer flow on the flat plate with zero pressure gradients is presented. By employing similarity variables the governing partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary ones with inconsistent coefficients and solved numerically with the use of Runge–Kutta and shooting methods in conjunction with trial and error procedure.

The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...
