Large-Eddy Simulation of Separation Control for Compressible Flow Over a Wall-Mounted Hump
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compressible large-eddy simulations of turbulent flow over a wall-mounted hump with active flow control are performed and compared to previous experiments. We consider a range of Mach numbers from 0.1 to 0.6. Control is applied just before the natural separation point via steady suction and zero-net mass flux oscillatory forcing. Compared with the baseline flow, control shortens the separation bubble length, but is generally found to be less effective at compressible Mach numbers. The LES matches well to the available experimental data for the baseline and steady suction cases. With oscillatory forcing, the LES captures the major flow physics of the large scale shedding of vortical structures, but over-predicts the separation bubble length at low Mach numbers.

Compressible large-eddy simulations of turbulent flow over a wall-mounted hump with active flow control are performedand comparedwithprevious experiments. Theflow is characterizedby the unsteady separationbefore the steep trailing edge, which naturally reattaches downstream of the hump to form an unsteady turbulent separation bubble. The lowMachnumber large-eddy simulation demonstrated a goodpr...

Turbulent flow over wall-mounted cube in a channel was investigated numerically using Large Eddy Simulation. The Selective Structure Function model was used to determine eddy viscosity that appeared in the subgrid scale stress terms in momentum equations. Studies were carried out for the flows with Reynolds number ranging from 1000 to 40000. To evaluate the computational results, data was compa...
متن کاملOscillatory Control and the Effects of Actuation Frequency on a Wall-Mounted Hump
A large eddy simulation (LES) is used to explore the effects of high frequency actuation on a wall-mounted hump geometry. Low frequency forcing at F ∼ O(1) has been shown to increase entrainment through regular shedding of large-scale structures. Using a LES technique previously validated on the baseline and controlled flow over the wall-mounted hump geometry, the effectiveness of high frequenc...
