Book An Experimental Investigation of Compressible  Turbulent Mixing Layers

Download or read book An Experimental Investigation of Compressible Turbulent Mixing Layers written by Steven George Goebel and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of compressible, turbulent mixing layers has been completed. The experiments were conducted using pressure measurements, schlieren photography and velocity measurements with a two-component laser Doppler velocimeter system. These diagnostic systems were developed for use with the mixing layer wind-tunnel facility. Many conditions were evaluated, and seven mixing layer cases were fully examined, with relative Mach numbers ranging from 0.40 to 1.97, which spans the region of significant compressibility effects. The spatial development and similarity of the mixing layers were examined, as well as the entrainment process and the effects of particle dynamics. Analyses to predict the mean density profiles, mean transverse velocity profiles, shape of the kinematic Reynolds stress profiles and entrainment mass fraction of a fully developed, compressible mixing layer were also developed. From the schlieren photographs, no organized, large-scale structures were observed to dominate the mixing layers under the conditions of this study. The development of the mixing layers required a Reynolds number (based on the freestream velocity difference and local mixing layer thickness) on the order of 1 $cdot$ 10$sp5$. In the fully developed regions of the mixing layers, it was found that transverse turbulence intensities and normalized kinematic Reynolds stresses decreased with increasing relative Mach number like the decreases measured in normalized growth rate, while the streamwise turbulence intensities and kinematic Reynolds stress correlation coefficients remained approximately constant. By examining the LDV velocity measurements from particles with different response characteristics, it was shown that particle dynamics effects were not a problem with these measurements. Also, by measuring velocity profiles on both sides of the wind-tunnel midplane, it was found that the flow fields were reasonably two-dimensional.

Book excerpt: The University of Manchester hosted the 28th International Symposium on Shock Waves between 17 and 22 July 2011. The International Symposium on Shock Waves first took place in 1957 in Boston and has since become an internationally acclaimed series of meetings for the wider Shock Wave Community. The ISSW28 focused on the following areas: Blast Waves, Chemically Reacting Flows, Dense Gases and Rarefied Flows, Detonation and Combustion, Diagnostics, Facilities, Flow Visualisation, Hypersonic Flow, Ignition, Impact and Compaction, Multiphase Flow, Nozzle Flow, Numerical Methods, Propulsion, Richtmyer-Meshkov, Shockwave Boundary Layer Interaction, Shock Propagation and Reflection, Shock Vortex Interaction, Shockwave Phenomena and Applications, as well as Medical and Biological Applications. The two Volumes contain the papers presented at the symposium and serve as a reference for the participants of the ISSW 28 and individuals interested in these fields.

Book Chemical Reactions in Turbulent Mixing Flows

Download or read book Chemical Reactions in Turbulent Mixing Flows written by Paul E. Dimotakis and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program focused on fundamental investigations of mixing, chemical-reaction, and combustion processes, in turbulent, subsonic, and supersonic free-shear flows. The program was comprised of an experimental effort; an analytical, modeling, and computational effort; and a diagnostics, instrumentation, and data-acquisition-development effort, with significant progress in each. With regard to gas-phase shear-layer mixing and combustion, effects of inflow/initial conditions, compressibility, and Reynolds number were experimentally investigated and, to a large extent, clarified. New measures to characterize level sets in turbulence were developed and successfully employed to characterize experimental data of liquid-phase turbulent-jet flows as well as three-dimensional direct-numerical-simulation data of Rayleigh-Taylor-instability flows. The computational effort has added to our understanding of the (H2+NO)/F2 chemical system employed in the shear-layer-mixing investigations as well as mixing in high-speed flows, along with further developments in Riemann-Invariant-Manifold gasdynamic simulation techniques and their application to unsteady detonation phenomena. On the diagnostic front, developments in digital imaging and Image Correlation Velocimetry have continued, and been used to investigate turbulent-jet mixing, the unsteady flow over an accelerating airfoil, to mitigate aliasing problems in the computer reconstruction of (2+1)-dimensional isosurface data, and in other applications.

Book Combustion in High Speed Flows

Download or read book Combustion in High Speed Flows written by John Buckmaster and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the Workshop on Com bustion, sponsored by the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) and the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC). It was held on October 12-14, 1992, and was the sec ond workshop in the series on the subject. The first was held in 1989, and its proceedings were published by Springer-Verlag under the title "Major Research Topics in Combustion," edited by M. Y. Hussaini, A. Kumar, and R. G. Voigt. The focus of the second workshop was directed towards the development, analysis, and application of basic models in high speed propulsion of particular interest to NASA. The exploration of a dual approach combining asymptotic and numerical methods for the analysis of the models was particularly encouraged. The objectives of this workshop were i) the genesis of models that would capture or reflect the basic pllysical phenomena in SCRAMJETs and/or oblique detonation-wave engines (ODWE), and ii) the stimulation of a greater interaction between NASA exper imental research community and the academic community. The lead paper by D. Bushnell on the status and issues of high speed propulsion relevant to both the SCRAMJET and the ODWE parallels his keynote address which set the stage of the workshop. Following the lead paper were five technical sessions with titles and chairs: Experiments (C. Rogers), Reacting Free Shear Layers (C. E. Grosch), Detonations (A. K. Kapila), Ignition and Struc ture (J. Buckmaster), and Unsteady Behaviour ('1'. L. Jackson).
