提出用抛物化稳定性方程(PSE)新方法,研究非平行边界层从层流向湍流转捩的C型失稳的演化过程,特别是非线性演化问题。研究了至关重要的初始条件,包括各扰动谐波的初始解、初始站均流变形的模拟、以及通过对线性 PSE 的求解获得 TS波和C型亚谐扰动的初始站值等。发展了高精度的数值方法,满足PSE的关键性正规化条件,实现非线性抛物化稳定性方程的有效求解和稳定推进。算例展示了Blasius边界层的C型失稳的非线性演化过程,与典型实验结果相吻合。

On Nonlinear Evolution of C-type Instability in Nonparallel Boundary Layers

The process of evolution, especially that of nonlinear evolution, of C-type instability of laminar-turbulent flow transition in nonparallel boundary layers are studied by means of a newly developed method called parabolic stability equations (PSE). Initial conditions, which are very important for the nonlinear problem, are investigated by computing initial solution of the harmonic waves, modifying the mean-flow-distortion, and giving initial value of TS wave and its subharmonic waves at initial station by solving linear PSE. A numerical method with high-order accuracy are developed in the text, the key normalization conditions in the PSE are satisfied, and nonlinear PSE are solved efficiently and implemented stably by the spatial marching. It has been shown that the computed process of nonlinear evolution of C-type instability in Blasius boundary layer is in good agreement with the experimental results.
