Stochastic Modeling of Laminar-turbulent Transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stochastic versions of stability equations are developed in order to develop integrated models of transition and turbulence and to understand the effects of uncertain initial conditions on disturbance growth. Stochastic forms of the resonant triad equations, a high Reynolds number asymptotic theory, and the parabolized stability equations are developed.

Numerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model
Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...
متن کاملStatistical inverse analysis and stochastic modeling of transition
A computational method is introduced to infer statistical information on boundarylayer perturbations upstream of laminar-turbulent transition in a supersonic boundary layer. The method uses the intermittency function as a basis, which specifies the amount of time a flow is turbulent at a given streamwise location. The methods yields a joint probability density function for amplitude and frequen...
متن کاملStatistical Prediction of Laminar-turbulent Transition
Stochastic versions of stability equations are considered as a means to develop integrated models of transition and turbulence. Two types of stochastic models are considered: probability density function evolution equations for stability mode amplitudes, and Langevin models based on representative stability theories including the resonant triad model and the parabolized stability equations. The...
متن کاملNumerical investigations of separation-induced transition on high-lift low-pressure turbine using RANS and LES methods
At low Reynolds numbers, laminar-turbulent transition occurs on the suction side of high-lift low-pressure turbine blades. The prediction of this flow is an important step in low-pressure turbine design. Thus the laminar-turbulent transition must be modeled or resolved. The flow around the high-lift low-pressure turbine blade T106C is predicted using RANS simulations, without and with transitio...
متن کاملPersistence at the onset of spatiotemporal intermittency in coupled map lattices
– We study persistence in coupled circle map lattices at the onset of spatiotemporal intermittency, an onset which marks a continuous transition, in the universality class of directed percolation, to a unique absorbing state. We obtain a local persistence exponent of θl = 1.49± 0.02 at this transition, a value which closely matches values for θl obtained in stochastic models of directed percola...
