PIV EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH OF FLOW STRUCTURE IN RECTANGULAR CHANNEL WITH TRANSVERSELY PLACED SPIRAL COIL INSERT

The flow field in a rectangular channel with a transversely placed spiral coil insert is investigated by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements in both transverse and longitudinal sections. The experimental results show that multi-longitudinal vortices are induced downstream of the spiral coil and are distributed as a symmetrical vortex array along the horizontal central line of the transverse section. Along the mainstream, due to the spiral motion of the longitudinal vortices, the velocity fluctuates in a manner of the damped sinusoidal curve and the velocity component in the wall normal direction is improved in the channel. Compared with the flow field in a smooth channel it is found that the movement of the longitudinal vortices can cause a continuous disturbance near the channel walls and thus enhances the fluid velocity in the near wall region, which consequently leads to the reduction of the velocity gradient and a more uniform velocity distribution. With the increase of the Reynolds number, the induced longitudinal vortices gain strength and become straighter and closer to the channel walls, thus the turbulence intensity is further enhanced in this area.     

基于粒子图像测速技术的明渠圆柱上游行近流特征研究

现有实验测量和数值模拟方法难以准确捕获近水面流动特征,为全面掌握墩柱上游行近来流的内部结构和水面特征,通过明渠圆柱绕流试验,采用粒子图像测速技术对柱体上游的对称垂面进行了测量,获得了行近来流的瞬时二维流场和水面线。在此基础上,对圆柱上游的时均流动和壅水特征进行了研究,得出上游行近来流从水面至床面依次由上升流、近水平流和下降流构成,形成典型的三层结构,其中,上升流厚度随柱体雷诺数增加而变厚,下降流无量纲厚度基本不随柱体雷诺数改变。在靠近柱体的床面附近,边界层与床面分离,分离区内为向上游流动的逆流以及一个马蹄涡和一个次生涡;在靠近柱体的水面附近存在表层逆流以及两个逆向涡。研究结果揭示出边界层分离、表层逆流及柱体本身依次促使行近来流减速,使得沿程水深雍高,壅水末端至圆柱迎水面的水面线符合一元四次函数分布,无量纲壅水长度随着柱体雷诺数的增加而延长。研究成果可作为基于流体体积法等具有自由水面计算能力的明渠墩柱绕流数学模型的验证依据。

孤立波作用下边界层的模拟与分析

孤立波作用下的边界层内的剪切力以及涡量变化对海啸传播和海底地形塑造十分重要。本文基于多区域谱方法,利用直接模拟(DNS)数值模型,对在具有矩形断面的U形水洞内的孤立波下的边界层流动进行了模拟。将数值模拟结果与解析解以及试验结果进行了对比,发现数值结果与后两者吻合得较好。模拟结果显示,在低雷诺数下,扰动不会改变流态,而随着雷诺数的增大,流态会变得十分复杂。中等雷诺数情况下,边界层内会产生正向的涡,并进行稳定的传播。在较高雷诺数情况下,流动进入层流向紊流发展的过渡期,此时边界层内会产生正涡以及负涡,并会在水深方向进行不规则运动。     

DIRECT NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF TURBULENT FLOW IN A STRAIGHT SQUARE DUCT AT REYNOLDS NUMBER 600

This article presents the direct numerical simulation results of the turbulent flow in a straight square duct at a Reynolds number of 600, based on the duct width and the mean wall-shear velocity. The turbulence statistics along the wall bisector is examined with the turbulent flow field properties given by streamwise velocity and vorticity fields in the duct cross section. It was found that the solutions of the turbulent duct flow obtained in a spatial resolution with 1.2×10⁶ grid points are satisfactory as compared to the existing numerical and experimental results. The results indicate that it is reasonable to neglect the sub-grid scale models in this spatial resolution level for the duct flow at the particular friction Reynolds number.     

HIGH ORDER LAGRANGIAN VELOCITY STATISTICS IN A TURBULENT CHANNEL FLOW WITH Re_τ=80

The scaling properties of high-order Lagrangian velocity structure functions are investigated numerically for a turbulent flow with a friction-velocity based Reynolds number Re_τ=80.The Lagrangian particles are released from locations of different distances to the wall.The relative scaling exponents ■ of the longitudinal velocity component are found to increase with the released distance to the wall and to approach asymptotically to theoretical predictions.However,the scaling exponents ■ of the transverse velocity component are smaller than ■,indicating a more intermittent nature.Specifically for the release locations in the center region,the relative scaling exponents ■ agree very well with theoretical predictions.     

Large eddy simulation of turbulent flow structure and characteristics in an annular jet pump

The large eddy simulation(LES) of the flow characteristics in an annular jet pump(AJP) is conducted, and the flow characteristics are systematically analyzed from both time-averaged and instantaneous aspects. The jet expansion, the velocity distribution and the energy are considered to analyze the time-averaged evolution of the flow field in the AJP. The transient flow characteristics can also be acquired from the analysis of the turbulence intensity and the Reynolds stress. The simulation demonstrates that in the time-averaged characteristics, the potential cores increase linearly with the increase of the flow ratio. With the flow development, the jet half-width gradually increases and the residual energy coefficient decreases. Compared with the distribution of the time-averaged axial velocity, that of the instantaneous velocity is more complex and disorderly. The high intensity of the axial turbulence mainly occurs in the mixing layer and the near-wall regions of the diffuser. The annular distribution of the Reynolds stress is mainly in the mixing layer and the recirculation region. There is a low-stress zone between the mixing layer and the high-stress region in the wall-boundary layer. The intensity of the spanwise vortexes is larger than that of the streamwise vortexes, and therefore, the former make greater contribution to the total vorticity. This research provides a better understanding of the flow characteristics in the AJP.     

PIV analysis and high-speed photographic observation of cavitating flow field behind circular multi-orifice plates

Based on a self-developed hydrodynamic cavitation device with different geometric parameters for circular multi-orifice plates, turbulence characteristics of cavitating flow behind multi-orifice plates, including the effects of orifice number and orifice layout on longitudinal velocity,turbulence intensity, and Reynolds stress, were measured with the particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique. Flow regimes of the cavitating flow were also observed with high-speed photography. The experimental results showed the following:(1) high-velocity multiple cavitating jets occurred behind the multi-orifice plates, and the cavitating flow fields were characterized by topological structures;(2) the longitudinal velocity at each cross-section exhibited a sawtooth-like distribution close to the multi-orifice plate, and each sawtooth indicated one jet issuing from one orifice;(3) there were similar magnitudes and forms for the longitudinal and vertical turbulence intensities at the same cross-section;(4) the variation in amplitude of Reynolds stress increased with an increase in orifice number; and(5) the cavitation clouds in the flow fields became denser with the increase in orifice number, and the clouds generated by the staggered layout of orifices were greater in number than those generated by the checkerboard-type one for the same orifice number. The experimental results can be used to analyze the mechanism of killing pathogenic microorganisms through hydrodynamic cavitation.     

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE VORTEX FORMATION AND ENTRAINMENT CHARACTERISTICS FOR A ROUND TRANSVERSE JET IN SHALLOW WATER

The vortex formation and entrainment characteristics for a round transverse jet in shallow water were experimentally investigated by means of a combination of LIF flow visualization and PIV measurement. A scarf vortex wrapped around the main body of the jet is formed in the near-wall region due to the interaction between the resulting wall jet and sufficiently shallow crossflow, with some more or less unsteady flow properties and with spreading ranges as functions of both the velocity ratio and the water depth within the near field. The entrainment of the ambient crossflow fluid into the jet main body is closely associated with the time-evolving features of the shear layer between the jet and surrounding fluid as well as the induced vortical structures near the wall. In the case of slight impingement upon the wall, the interaction between the jet shear layer and the weak, unstable scarf vortex gives rise to an appreciable local entrainment enhancement, confined in the near-wall region in the vicinity of the stagnation point. While in the case of intense impingement upon the wall, the well-organized and stable scarf vortex gives rise to a greatly enhanced entrainment and a greatly increased lateral spreading rate nearly throughout the overall near field as compared to the conventional wall jet. In addition, the entrainment of the ambient crossflow fluid by the scarf vortex in this case occurs largely on the surface of the unique spiral roller structure by itself due to the presence of smaller and unorganized eddies, and accordingly the scarf vortex is likely to keep its spiral roller structure steadily to a relatively great downstream distance within the near field.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THERMAL-HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF A CIRCULAR TUBE WITH EDGEFOLD-TWISTED-TAPE INSERTS

Three-dimensional numerical simulations and experiments were carried out to study the heat transfer characteristics and the pressure drop of air flow in a circular tube with Edgefold-Twisted Tape (ETT) inserts and with classic Spiral-Twisted-Tape (STT) inserts of the same twist ratio. The RNG turbulence model for mildly swirling flows, the enhanced wall treatment for low Reynolds numbers, and the SIMPLE pressure-velocity method were adopted to simulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics. Within the range of Reynolds number from 2 500 to 9 500 and the twist ratio y from 5.4 to 11.4, the Nusselt number of the tube with ETT inserts is found to be 3.9% ? 9.2% higher than that with STT inserts, and the friction factor of the tube with ETT inserts is 8.7% ? 74% higher than that of STT inserts. The heat enhancement is due to higher tangential velocity and asymmetrical velocity profile with the increase and decrease of the periodic velocity within an edgefold length. It is found that main factors affecting the heat transfer of ETT inserts are the twist angle and the gap width between the tube and inserts. A larger twist angle leads to a higher tangential velocity, and larger Nusselt number and friction factor. The thermal-hydraulic performance slowly decreases as the twist angle increases. The gap width between tube and inserts has a significant influence on the heat transfer, while little influence on pressure drops. The thermal-hydraulic performance increases in average by 124% and 140% when the gap width reduces from 1.5 mm to 1.0 mm and 0.5 mm. The larger the gap width, the higher velocity through the gap will be, which would reduce the main flow velocity and tangential velocity. So a small gap is desirable. Comparing experimental and numerical results at variable air flow and tube wall temperature, the numerical results are found to be in a reasonable agreement with the experiment results, with difference of the Nusselt number in a range of 1.6% ? 3.6%, and that of the friction factor in a range of 8.2% ? 13.6%.
