Book ACOUSTIC MEASUREMENTS IN SUPERSONIC TRANSITIONAL BOUNDARY LAYERS

Download or read book ACOUSTIC MEASUREMENTS IN SUPERSONIC TRANSITIONAL BOUNDARY LAYERS written by and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface pressure fluctuations associated with transitional and turbulent boundary-layer flows on a sharp, slender cone at supersonic Mach numbers were experimentally investigated in a 40- by 40-in. supersonic wind tunnel using a flush-mounted 0.25-in.-diam microphone. The results at Mach numbers 3 and 4 demonstrate the feasibility of locating microphones onboard wind tunnel test models to measure overall pressure fluctuations and power spectral distributions in transitional and fully developed turbulent flows. Transition Reynolds numbers determined using a surface microphone are compared with two other established methods of detection. Selected boundary-layer pressure fluctuation characteristics (power spectral density and root-mean-square values) and transition profiles are presented. Methods of data acquisition and analysis are discussed.

Book Fundamental Aspects of the Structure of Supersonic Turbulent Boundary

Download or read book Fundamental Aspects of the Structure of Supersonic Turbulent Boundary written by Jonathan H. Watmuff and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements of structure angle in a supersonic turbulent boundary layer with zero and adverse pressure gradients are presented. Conditionally sampled measurements of u, v, and uv are presented along with quadrant analysis of the turbulent fluctuations. The latter suggests ambiguities associated with the interpretation of VITA measurements. Preliminary results of experiments on artificially generated hairpin vortices are also discussed. Measurements indicate a high degree of similarity between the signatures of these hairpin structures and ensemble averaged events in the turbulent boundary layer. Keywords: Turbulence, Boundary layer, Supersonic Flow.

Book Turbulent Shear Layers in Supersonic Flow

Download or read book Turbulent Shear Layers in Supersonic Flow written by Alexander J. Smits and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-11 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the external flow over the surfaces of supersonic aircraft, and in the internal flow through the engines. Our ability to predict the aerodynamic lift, drag, propulsion and maneuverability of high-speed vehicles is crucially dependent on our knowledge of turbulent shear layers, and our understanding of their behavior in the presence of shock waves and regions of changing pressure. Turbulent Shear Layers in Supersonic Flow provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, and helps provide a basis for future work in this area. Wherever possible we use the available experimental work, and the results from numerical simulations to illustrate and develop a physical understanding of turbulent compressible flows.

Book Measurements in the Turbulent Boundary Layer at Constant Pressure in Subsonic and Supersonic Flow  Part II  Laser Doppler Velocity Measurements

Download or read book Measurements in the Turbulent Boundary Layer at Constant Pressure in Subsonic and Supersonic Flow Part II Laser Doppler Velocity Measurements written by Paul E. Dimotakis and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments have been carried out using laser-Doppler velocimetry in conjunction with Pitot and surface-friction instrumentation for the measurement of the mean flow, the velocity fluctuations, and the Reynolds stresses in turbulent boundary layers at constant pressure in subsonic and supersonic flows. Part I of this work was a detailed analysis of the mean flow as observed using Pitot-tube, Preston-tube, and floating-element balance instrumentation. The present work (Part II) is a description of both the mean and the fluctuating components of the flow, and of the Reynolds stress as observed using a dual forward-scattering laser-Doppler velocimenter. A detailed description of the instrument, and of the data analysis techniques, have been included in order to fully document the data. A detailed comparison is made between the laser-Doppler results and those presented in Part I, and an assessment is made of the ability of the laser-Doppler velocimeter to measure the details of the flows involved.

Book Compressible Turbulence Measurements in a Supersonic Boundary Layer Including Favorable Pressure Gradient Effects

Download or read book Compressible Turbulence Measurements in a Supersonic Boundary Layer Including Favorable Pressure Gradient Effects written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of a favorable pressure gradient on the turbulent flow structure in a Mach 2.9 boundary layer (Re/m approx. 1.5 x 10(exp 7)) is investigated experimentally. Conventional flow and hot film measurements of turbulent fluctuation properties have been made upstream of and along an expansion ramp. Upstream measurements were taken in a zero pressure gradient boundary layer 44 cm from the nozzle throat in a 6.35 cm square test section. Measurements are obtained in the boundary layer, above the expansion ramp, 71.5 cm from the nozzle throat. Mean flow and turbulent flow characteristics are measured in all three dimensions. Comparisons are made between data obtained using single and multiple-overheat cross-wire anemometry as well as conventional mean flow probes. Conventional flow measurements were taken using a Pitot probe and a 10 degree cone static probe. Flow visualization was conducted via imaging techniques (Schlieren and shadowgraph photographs). Results suggest that compressibility effects, as seen through the density fluctuations in the Reynolds shear stress are roughly 10% relative to the mean velocity and are large relative to the velocity fluctuations. This is also observed in the total Reynolds shear stress; compressibility accounts for 50 - 75% of the total shear. This is particularly true in the favorable pressure gradient region, where though the peak fluctuation intensities are diminished, the streamwise component of the mean flow is larger, hence the contribution of the compressibility term is significant in the Reynolds shear.

Book Turbulent Boundary Layer Measurement Techniques

Download or read book Turbulent Boundary Layer Measurement Techniques written by and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the principles and practice of hot wire anemometry for the measurement of turbulent flows. The requirements and pitfalls involved in the use of hot wire anemometers in supersonic flows are addressed and the methods used for data acquisition and reduction are detailed. Examples of measurements obtained in AFWAL facilities are presented. Unfortunately in most flows of practical interest, local fluctuation levels exceed those for which reliable hot wire turbulence measurements can be expected. However, our recent developments in laser velocimetry facilitate the non-intrusive, linear measurement of high speed turbulent flows. Measurements of zero pressure gradient and ramp induced, adverse pressure gradient flows are presented. The results emphasize the need for confined hot wire and laser velocimeter studies to determine the reliable and useful ranges of both instruments. Keywords: Supersonic Boundary Layers.
