This book was released on 1969 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements of the turbulent pressure field on the outer surface of a 3 inch diameter cylinder were made at a point 24 feet downstream of the origin of the turbulent boundary layer. The root-mean square wall pressure was 2.42 times the wall shear stress. The normalized power spectrum at high frequencies contained twice the energy density of the spectrum beneath a plane boundary layer. The convection speed was the same as that in a plane boundary layer but the eddy size was smaller by a factor of two. The smaller eddy size and unchanged convection speed account for the greater energy in the spectrum at high frequencies. (Author).

This book was released on 1993 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document consists of the text and viewgraphs of a paper presented at the ONR Workshop on Nonequilibrium Turbulence held at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, from 10-1 2 March 1993. This workshop was the first step of an ONR Accelerated Research Initiative (ARI) to establish the state-of-the-art for theory, computation, and experimentation relevant to turbulence in a nonequilibrium state, or, more generally, to turbulence in complex flows. The overall goal of the initiative is to understand the behavior of turbulence in such complex conditions in order to advance our prediction and control capabilities. When a cylinder in axial flow is sufficiently long and thin, the growth of the boundary layer results in its thickness exceeding the radius of the cylinder such that the three-dimensional effects due to transverse curvature cannot be neglected. With this condition, the wall of the cylinder provides less constraint on the outer flow and motion of eddies than is experienced in an equilibrium flat plate boundary layer, introducing an avenue for enhanced inner-layer/outer-layer interaction and modified turbulence activity. In this paper, we present results of measurements of the fluctuating wall pressure and turbulent streamwise velocity in the turbulent boundary layer on a cylinder in axial flow to identify the coherent structures that contribute to the fluctuating pressure at the wall. Determining the influence of transverse curvature on the relationship between the wall pressure and velocity field allows examination of its effect on the structure of equilibrium boundary layer turbulence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first four symposia in the series on turbulent shear flows have been held alternately in the United States and Europe with the first and third being held at universities in eastern and western States, respectively. Continuing this pattern, the Fifth Symposium on Turbulent Shear Flows was held at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, in August 1985. The meeting brought together more than 250 participants from around the world to present the results of new research on turbulent shear flows. It also provided a forum for lively discussions on the implications (practical or academic) of some of the papers. Nearly 100 formal papers and about 20 shorter communications in open forums were presented. In all the areas covered, the meeting helped to underline the vitality of current research into turbulent shear flows whether in experimental, theoretical or numerical studies. The present volume contains 25 of the original symposium presentations. All have been further reviewed and edited and several have been considerably extended since their first presentation. The editors believe that the selection provides papers of archival value that, at the same time, give a representative statement of current research in the four areas covered by this book: - Homogeneous and Simple Flows - Free Flows - Wall Flows - Reacting Flows Each of these sections begins with an introductory article by a distinguished worker in the field.

Download or read book Statistical Approach to Wall Turbulence written by Sedat Tardu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wall turbulence is encountered in many technological applications as well as in the atmosphere, and a detailed understanding leading to its management would have considerable beneficial consequences in many areas. A lot of inspired work by experimenters, theoreticians, engineers and mathematicians has been accomplished over recent decades on this important topic and Statistical Approach to Wall Turbulence provides an updated and integrated view on the progress made in this area. Wall turbulence is a complex phenomenon that has several industrial applications, such as in aerodynamics, turbomachinery, geophysical flows, internal engines, etc. Several books exist on fluid turbulence, but Statistical Approach to Wall Turbulence is original in the sense that it focuses solely on the turbulent flows bounded by solid boundaries. The book covers the different physical aspects of wall turbulence, beginning with classical phenomenological aspects before advancing to recent research in the effects of the Reynolds numbers, near wall coherent structures, and wall turbulent transport process. This book would be of interest to postgraduate and undergraduate students in mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering, as well as researchers in aerodynamics, combustion, and all applications of wall turbulence.

Book excerpt: This report reviews research on the turbulent boundary layer that develops on a cylinder in axial flow. Experimental results indicate that the transverse curvature results in a higher coefficient of friction and a fuller velocity profile than for a planar boundary layer. However, appropriate scaling laws and nondimensional scaling parameters are still elusive. The few turbulence measurements such as Reynolds stress and intermittency that are available for a cylindrical boundary layer suggest that the distribution of turbulent quantities in the boundary layer is somewhat different from a planar boundary layer, particularly as the boundary layer becomes thick compared to the radius of the cylinder. This is most likely a result of the tendency for a cylindrical boundary layer to become wake-like as the cylinder becomes very small. Measurements of turbulence intensity and detection of turbulence-generating events in a cylindrical boundary layer suggest that the mechanism for the production of turbulence near the wall is similar to that for other wall-bounded flows. However, there is experimental evidence that the outer flow interacts with the near-wall flow to modify the generation of turbulence. Suggestions for further work include more comprehensive and sophisticated measurements of turbulent quantities in cylindrical boundary layers as well as computational modeling.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental studies of the mean velocity profiles and of the wall pressure fluctuations within the axially symmetric turbulent boundary layer on cylinders of various diameters have been made. The measurements include the mean velocity and shear stress on cylinders with diameters ranging from 0.02 to 2.0 inches. A very small hot wire probe and simple anemometer circuit was developed and acoustically calibrated. The hot-wire measurements were used to determine the wall shear stress on the smallest diameter cylinders. A Preston tube was used to measure the shear stress on the larger cylinders.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The structure of the fluctuating flow field in a turbulent boundary layer has been investigated with the aid of extremely small hot wire probes. Two investigations were conducted. In one investigations of a small X array hot-wire probe, with dimensions (length and spacing) of the order of 2.5 viscous lengths (100 Microns) was constructed and used to measure the small scale structure of the velocity fluctuations and the Reynolds stress near the wall. It was found that very small, intense contributions to the Reynolds stress occur with a scale of the order of the viscous length. In the other investigation a pair of single hot-wires which were of a length of the order of one half the viscous length (50 Microns) were used to demonstrate the existence of shear layers near the wall with an intensity comparable to the mean shear stress at the wall. One primary results is when large scale turbulence is present in the flow upstream of the cylinder, large amplitude, low frequency circumferentially averaged pressure fluctuations are caused by pressure fluctuations in the free stream turbulence and by the aerodynamic interaction of cylinder with the free stream turbulence. A three-sensor hot-wire probe was used to measure the three components of the velocity fluctuations in the free stream at a point 3.5 diameters from the axis of the cylinder. When the free stream turbulence level was low, the instantaneous average of the pressure fluctuations around the circumference could be estimated from the free stream velocity fluctuations near the measuring point on the cylinder.
