后掠翼边界层横流不稳定性的实验研究(英文)

在西北工业大学的低湍流度风洞中,采用升华法研究有无粗糙带情况下,45°后掠翼三维边界层内的横流驻波不稳定性及其转捩模式。在未引入人工粗糙带,雷诺数为5.50×105~1.65×106范围内,模型的转捩分界始终为位于最小压力点之后的一条直线,转捩由T-S波触发。当Re≥1.38×106时,对应最不稳定横流驻波的3.5~4.0mm条纹出现在转捩的上游区域,条纹间距与线化稳定性理论的结果吻合。当Re=1.65×106时,实验证实了横流驻波扰动对前缘粗糙度的极度敏感。考虑到抑制最不稳定横流驻波就很有可能抑制后掠翼飞行器上由其主导的转捩,在机翼前缘布置不同间距的粗糙带,研究其对边界层内横流驻波的影响。当Re=1.38×106时,2.5mm间距的粗糙带有效的抑制了3.5~4.0mm最不稳定驻波,该现象为后掠翼上的转捩控制技术提供了一条新思路。此外,当6.0mm、7.0mm和8.0mm的粗糙带被引入时,条纹间隔表现为3.0mm、3.5mm和4.0mm的谐波波长。     

基于升华法的后掠翼混合层流控制研究

在低湍流度风洞中针对45°后掠角NACA64A-204翼型模型,采用升华流动显示技术研究不同吸气量和不同迎角状态下混合层流控制（HLFC）对转捩位置的影响。结合热线方法测量流向速度研究扰动增长的机制。实验结果表明：萘升华流动显示技术适合用来研究HLFC方法对后掠翼转捩的影响,可以直观和准确地表示后掠翼上的转捩位置;在无吸气的情况下,随着迎角从-6°到2°增大,层流区长度先增大后减小;HLFC方法可以显著推迟由横流不稳定触发的转捩;在同一迎角下增加吸气量,可以更有效地减小主要扰动波的能量。     

后掠翼混合层流控制机制的实验

在低湍流度风洞中针对NACA64A-204翼型后掠翼模型进行混合层流控制(HLFC)实验研究.通过萘升华流动显示技术以及热线测量边界层速度的方法,研究了不同吸气量条件下HLFC对后掠翼转捩位置以及流动稳定性的影响.实验结果表明:无吸气的情况下,转捩出现在x/c≈0.4,标准和两倍抽吸量条件下,转捩位置可以达到80%弦长位置(最小压力点下游).HLFC方法可以减弱后掠翼边界层平均流的扭曲,降低扰动之间的非线性作用,减小不稳定扰动波的能量,延迟转捩获得更大的层流区.      

后掠翼边界层横流不稳定转捩预测模型

通过对经典Falkner-Skan-Cooke三维边界层相似解的理论分析和数值求解,结合二维边界层转捩判据的思想,采用由试验数据标定的C1准则关系式求解横流不稳定转捩位移厚度雷诺数,建立了针对固定前缘后掠角机翼的横流转捩判据,并且通过方程求解和数据拟合得到了该转捩判据的数学结果.应用该模型对30°前缘后掠角的ONERA-M6机翼和45°前缘后掠角的NLF(2)-0415无限展长机翼进行了横流不稳定转捩数值模拟.模拟结果显示:改进后的转捩模型预测所得到的转捩位置精度较高,均与后掠翼横流试验数据吻合较好,从而证明了构建的横流不稳定转捩判据的合理性和实用性.      

基于线化稳定性理论的后掠翼边界层内横流稳定性研究

采用Mack方法求解忽略曲率和压缩性的三维线化稳定性方程（Orr-Sommerfeld方程）,针对无限展长后掠翼,计算分析边界层内不同波长横流驻波沿弦向的放大率,确定最不稳定波的波长。计算结果与参考文献中的实验结论和计算结果符合较好,表明该方法能够准确的预测出最不稳定波的波长,可以用来指导横流驻波主导下的后掠翼流动稳定性问题研究。     

后掠机翼人工转捩最佳粗糙带高度数值预测

介绍了基于当地变量的γ-Re_θ转捩模型,并将该模型应用到后掠机翼的转捩预测和人工转捩最佳粗糙带高度以及人工转捩技术能够模拟的大气飞行雷诺数的确定中。为检验γ-Re_θ转捩模型对后掠机翼转捩的预测能力,对ONERA M6机翼和DLR-F4标模机翼进行了边界层转捩预测,采用结构化网格和有限体积法求解雷诺平均Navier-Stokes(RANS)方程,得到了机翼表面的摩擦阻力系数分布,从而可以得到相应的转捩位置,预测得到的转捩位置与试验结果比较吻合,说明该模型对后掠机翼转捩预测是可信的。最后在DLR-F4标模机翼上表面固定了粗糙带,通过相同的方法得到了转捩位置,从而确定了马赫数为0.785、雷诺数为3.0×10⁶时最佳粗糙带高度为0.11 mm;通过不断增大雷诺数使自由转捩位置不断向前缘移动,验证了人工转捩对大气飞行雷诺数的模拟能力。结果表明,在最佳粗糙带高度为0.11 mm下,可以实现对大气飞行高雷诺数的模拟。     

转捩模式与转捩准则预测高超声速边界层流动

对原始的k-ω-γ转捩模式和"层流+转捩准则"模型进行了改进,在2种方法中分别增加了横流模态时间尺度和横流转捩准则用于预测横流失稳诱导转捩。通过对网格预处理可并行计算获得边界层外缘信息以及边界层内横流速度。采用不同雷诺数条件下的0°攻角尖锥以及HIFiRE-5外形对2种方法预测高超声速边界层转捩的性能进行了比较分析。研究结果表明,2种方法均能正确反映高超声速边界层转捩起始位置和转捩区长度随雷诺数的变化趋势,但不能捕捉转捩区热流峰值;"层流+转捩准则"模型计算得到的传热系数在全湍流区较k-ω-γ转捩模式偏高。对于同时存在流向不稳定和横流不稳定的HIFiRE-5外形,改进的k-ω-γ转捩模式和改进的"层流+转捩准则"模型相比于原始的模型均能更加准确地预测中心线两侧横流失稳诱导形成的转捩;对于中心线附近因速度剖面拐点引起的边界层转捩,"层流+转捩准则"模型由于与边界层厚度相关,预测得到的转捩位置较试验结果靠前,k-ω-γ转捩模式与试验结果吻合很好。     

横流不稳定性转捩预测模型

由于Langtry和Menter提出的γ-Re_θt边界层转捩模型只能预测流向的边界层转捩现象,因此继续改进该转捩模型使其具有横流不稳定性转捩的预测能力显得非常必要。通过对经典Falkner-Skan-Cooke (FSC)三维边界层相似解的理论分析和数值求解,结合Thwaites压力梯度因子与当地后掠角构建的函数关系来求解复杂构型的当地Hartree压力梯度因子β_H以及形状因子H₁₂,采用由试验数据标定的C1准则关系式获得横流转捩位移厚度雷诺数,从而建立能够对复杂构型进行横流不稳定性转捩预测的转捩判据。应用所建模型对30°前缘后掠角的ONERA-M6机翼和变前缘后掠角的DLR-F5机翼以及标准6:1椭球标模进行了横流不稳定转捩数值模拟,计算结果显示转捩位置均与试验数据吻合较好,证明了该模型的合理性和实用性。     

基于当地变量的横流转捩预测模型的研究与改进

Langtry和Menter提出的转捩预测模型需要改进以具备预测横流转捩的能力。当地变量Helicity参数可以指示边界层内的横流信息,因而可用来构造适用于复杂构型以及当代计算流体力学(CFD)并行计算的横流转捩预测模型。实现了基于Helicity参数的横流转捩预测模型,对于后掠角为45°的NLF(2)-0415无限展长后掠翼,模型能够预测不同雷诺数对横流转捩的影响,但是对6:1椭球的横流转捩预测结果与试验数据相差较多。针对实现的横流转捩预测模型的缺点,考虑横流速度因素进行改进。横流速度的求解经过简化近似可以当地求解,因而保证了改进的模型完全基于当地变量的优势。采用改进后的横流转捩预测模型分别对NLF(2)-0415机翼、6:1椭球以及DLR-F5机翼进行数值模拟,并与试验数据进行对比分析,结果显示改进后的横流转捩预测模型可以较为准确地捕捉横流转捩现象。     

基于双eN方法的短舱层流转捩影响因素

发展自然层流短舱对提升现代民机的经济性和环保性具有重要意义，而对影响短舱层流转捩的因素进行研究有助于更好地开展短舱的层流设计。本文基于线性稳定性分析方法，将双e^N方法同RANS方程求解器耦合，建立了一套可同时计算T-S（Tollmien-Schlichting）波和横流（CF）驻波诱导转捩的流动转捩预测方法，通过标准椭球算例验证了该方法的正确性，进而研究了来流马赫数、雷诺数、湍流度以及迎角对短舱转捩的影响。结果表明：马赫数和迎角会带来压力梯度的明显改变从而引起转捩位置发生变化；而在此构型的高雷诺数工况下，雷诺数和湍流度对转捩位置影响相对较小，转捩位置移动的区域不超过短舱长度的5%。因此在设计阶段，在高雷诺数条件下保持层流设计要尽量避免较大的逆压梯度，保持顺压梯度。     

Instability analysis and drag coefficient prediction on a swept RAE2822 wing with constant lift coefficient

Swept wing is widely used in civil aircraft,whose airfoil is chosen,designed and optimized to increase the cruise speed and decrease the drag coefficient.The parameters of swept wing,such as sweep angle and angle of attack,are determined according to the cruise lift coefficient requirement,and the drag coefficient is expected to be predicted accurately,which involves the instability characteristics and transition position of the flow.The pressure coefficient of the RAE2822 wing with given constant lift coefficient is obtained by solving the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation numerically,and then the mean flow is calculated by solving the boundary layer(BL) equation with spectral method.The cross-flow instability characteristic of boundary layer of swept wing in the windward and leeward is analyzed by linear stability theory(LST),and the transition position is predicted by eNmethod.The drag coefficient is numerically predicted by introducing a laminar/turbulent indicator.A simple approach to calculate the lift coefficient of swept wing is proposed.It is found that there is a quantitative relationship between the angle of attack and sweep angle when the lift coefficient keeps constant;when the angle of attack is small,the flow on the leeward of the wing is stable.when the angle of attack is larger than 3°,the flow becomes unstable quickly;with the increase of sweep angle or angle of attack the disturbance on the windward becomes more unstable,leading to the moving forward of the transition position to the leading edge of the wing;the drag coefficient has two significant jumping growth due to the successive occurrence of transition in the windward and the leeward;the optimal range of sweep angle for civil aircraft is suggested.     

Effect of wall suction on leading edge contamination

This paper is devoted to an experimental study of swept wing leading edge contamination by the turbulence emanating from the wing-wall junction. The main objective is to delay the contamination onset by applying surface suction along the attachment line. Two series of experiments are described; the first one was performed in a small wind tunnel at CERT ONERA, the second one was carried out in the F2 wind tunnel at Le Fauga Mauzac centre. Hot film measurements showed that leading edge contamination could be delayed up to very large Reynolds numbers. We also studied the behaviour of the relaminarized boundary layer downstream of the sucked region, along the span as well as in the chordwise direction.     

Turbulent and unsteady flow characteristics of delta wing vortex systems

This paper presents an overview of experimental investigations on a 65 deg swept delta wing as part of the International Vortex Flow Experiment 2 (VFE-2). Results obtained in low-speed wind tunnel facilities include oil flow and laser light sheet flow visualization, mean and unsteady surface pressure distributions as well as mean and turbulent velocity components of the flow field and close to the wing surface. Thus, field and near wall distributions of all components of the Reynolds stress tensor are available. Details of the delta wing vortex structure and breakdown phenomenon are discussed and analyzed. Vortex bursting leads to specific spectral densities of velocity and surface pressure fluctuations characterized by narrow band distributions associated with the helical mode instability of the vortex breakdown flowfield. Further, special emphasis is on the occurrence of an inner vortex detected for the low Reynolds number and Mach number regime. This inboard vortex results from a laminar separation close to the apex due to the spanwise pressure gradient in the area of relatively large thickness while the classical leading-edge vortex progressing from the rear part to the apex is fed from the turbulent shear layers shed at the wing upper and lower side.     

Experimental investigation of boundary layer transition over a delta wing at Mach number 6

An experimental study on the boundary layer transition over a delta wing was carried out at Mach number 6 in a quiet wind tunnel. The Nano-tracer-based Planar Laser Scattering (NPLS) and Temperature-Sensitive Paints (TSP) techniques were used to measure the fine flow field structure and the wall Stanton number of the delta wing. The influence of factors such as the angle of attack and the Reynolds number was studied. The following results were obtained. The boundary layer transition between the leading edge and the centerline was dominated by the crossflow instability. At the location of the initial appearance of the traveling crossflow waves, the Stanton number began to rise. The Stanton number reached a maximum when the crossflow waves were broken up to turbulence. Increasing the angle of attack increased the spanwise pressure gradient at the windward side of the delta wing, thereby increasing the crossflow instability and advancing the boundary layer transition front. However, increasing the angle of attack caused the transition front to move backward at the leeward side. In addition, the sensitivity of the boundary layer transition to the Reynolds number varied with the angle of attack and the region.
