Transition in incompressible boundary layers with two-dimensional excrescences
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental investigation of the transition process in boundary layers subjected to forwardor aft-facing two-dimensional step excrescences is described. The objective of the work was to characterize the variation of transition Reynolds numbers with measurable roughness and boundary layer parameters, with the specific goal of specifying new tolerance criteria for laminar flow airfoils, alongside a fundamental investigation of linear boundary layer stability mechanisms. Results from an ongoing program of increasing complexity on effects of pressure gradient on excrescence-induced transition are presented. Preliminary N-factor calculations are used to determine the effects of boundary layer stability and attempt to isolate the effect of the disturbance due to the excrescence.

Abstract The present paper is devoted to implementation of the immersed boundary technique into the Fourier pseudo-spectral solution of the vorticity-velocity formulation of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The immersed boundary conditions are implemented via direct modification of the convection and diffusion terms, and therefore, in contrast to some other similar ...
