A direct numerical simulation was conducted of an incompressible, nominally zero-pressure-gradient flat-plate boundary layer from momentum thickness Reynolds numbers 80-1150. Heat transfer was considered with a constant-temperature solid boundary and the Prandtl number Pr = 0.71. Both the temperature boundary layer thickness and the Stanton number compared well to experimental data. The mean temperature distributions, the root-mean-square of the temperature fluctuations and the correlations between the velocity fluctuations and the temperature fluctuations have good agreements with previous investigations. One of the main focuses of the present paper is the statistical behavior of the velocity and temperature fluctuations in the wall-normal direction from the sub-layer region to the outer region of the boundary layer. Probability density functions (PDF) are presented to investigate the statistical characteristics near the wall. In addition, the near-wall temperature streaky structures are presented, and the coherence of the turbulent structures between the velocity and the temperature fields is discussed.

Small-amplitude oscillations of a viscous drop that is in a partial contact with a flat substrate are investigated computationally using a finite-difference/front-tracking method. Emphasis is placed on the first mode resonance frequency response of the droplet for a wide range of contact angles. It is found that numerical results converge to the theoretical predictions of Strani and Sabetta (Strani M, Sabetta F. J Fluid Mech 1984;141:223-47) for high contact angles, whereas considerable discrepancy is observed as contact angle decreases. However, the dependence of the frequency on the drop radius, drop density and surface tension coefficient remains the same as predicted by the Strani and Sabetta theory. It is also found that the effects of density and viscosity ratio become insignificant for the density and viscosity ratios larger than 10. The oscillations are found to be damped exponentially in time due to viscous dissipation similar to the case of an isolated droplet and the damping rate decreases with increasing contact angle.

direct numerical simulation realizations were created of a temporal mixing layer in which combustion occurs under high-pressure (high-p) turbulent conditions. The model combines the formulation of Masi, et al. (2013) for describing multi-species mixing under high-p conditions and a single-step chemical reaction of rate consistent with ignition prediction (Borghesi, and Bellan, 2015). In each simulation the computations are pursued past a time at which a maximum average-volumetric p is attained;most analysis is performed at this time, t(pp)(*). The ensemble of realizations explores the effect of the initial Reynolds number, Re-0, of the initial pressure, p(0), and of the initial composition of the two mixing-layer streams. The results show that the thermodynamic energy added by the reaction at the small scales is partially dissipated and partially backscattered. The formation of turbulent small scales is initiated by the morphological changes in the flow through stretching and twisting rather than vice versa. The reaction establishes primarily in the oxidizer stream and is preponderantly of diffusion type. Overwhelmingly, the higher reaction rates occur in the diffusion flame, particularly in regions of high density-gradient magnitude. At higher po the reaction rate reaches higher values and occurs in regions of higher density gradients. The range of reaction rates is independent of the Re-0 value but the magnitude of the density gradients increases with Re-0. When H2O and CO2 are initially present, uphill diffusion dominates over regular diffusion and occurs in regions of smaller density-gradient magnitude whereas regular diffusion occurs in regions of larger density-gradient magnitude where the reaction is more vigorous. H2O is more prone than CO2 to regular diffusion in the larger density-gradient magnitude regions. When H2O and CO2 only form in the flame, both H2O and CO2 are subject to regular diffusion over the entire range of density-gradient values. The dissi

The intent of this paper is to contribute database information for a flow less complicated than a backward step flow and less simple than a flat channel flow, demonstrating the influence of pressure gradient in an internal flow and serving to stimulate the creation of new improved turbulence models. A direct numerical simulation (DNS) was conducted for a turbulent channel flow having a periodic pressure gradient;i.e., a channel having flat plate walls, a solid one on one side and a porous one on the other side, which allows variable strength injection/suction of fluid. The Reynolds number based on the mean friction velocity on the two walls and the half width of the flow passage is 300. The mean flow field as well as such statistical quantities of turbulence as fluctuation velocities, and Reynolds stresses are presented, with a discussion of the influence of the periodic pressure gradient. The energy budget for the transport equations for the turbulent stresses is also included. The momentum balance is given in sections normal to the mean flow. It is demonstrated that although the thin layer approximation is valid, the pressure gradient effect in this flow is different from that in a boundary-layer flow.

详细信息
direct numerical simulations of instability development and transition to turbulence in a supersonic boundary layer on a flat plate are performed. The computations are carried out for moderate supersonic (free-stream Mach number M = 2) and hypersonic (M = 6) velocities. The boundary layer development is simulated, which includes the stages of linear growth of disturbances, their nonlinear interaction, stochastization, and turbulent flow formation. A laminar-turbulent transition initiated by distributed roughness of the plate surface at the Mach number M = 2 is also considered.

详细信息
direct numerical simulations (DNS) of incompressible turbulent channel flows coupled with Lagrangian particle tracking are performed to study the characteristics of ejections that surround solid particles. The behavior of particles in dilute turbulent channel flows, without particle collisions and without feedback of particles on the carrier fluid, is studied using high Reynolds number DNS (Re = 12,500). The results show that particles moving away from the wall are surrounded by ejections, confirming previous studies on this issue. A threshold value separating ejections with only upward moving particles is established. When normalized by the square root of the Stokes number and the square of the friction velocity, the threshold profiles follow the same qualitative trends, for all the parameters tested in this study, in the range of the experiments. When compared to suspension thresholds proposed by other studies in the Shields diagram, our simulations predict a much larger value because of the measure used to characterize the fluid and the criterion chosen to decide whether particles are influenced by the surrounding fluid. However, for intermediate particle Reynolds numbers, the threshold proposed here is in fair agreement with the theoretical criterion proposed by Bagnold (1966) [Bagnold, R., 1966. Geological Survey Professional Paper, vol. 422-1]. Nevertheless, further studies will be conducted to understand the normalization of the threshold. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The direct numerical simulation of a fully developed turbulent Couette-Poiseuille flow is performed to investigate the modification of turbulent statistics on the bottom and top walls compared to those in a pure Poiseuille flow. The streamwise mean velocity profile shows that an extended logarithmic layer for a Couette-Poiseuille flow is developed from each wall to the centerline. In addition, the turbulent intensities and Reynolds shear stress on the bottom wall are found to be larger than those in the Poiseuille flow, whereas it is reversed on the top wall due to reduction of the velocity shear. The quadrant analysis of the Reynolds shear stress reveals that large Q2 and Q4 event motions are continuously created throughout the entire flow near the centerline, leading to active momentum transport between the bottom and top walls for the C-type. Inspection of the pre-multiplied streamwise and spanwise energy spectra shows that distinct secondary outer peaks are created for all velocity components and a plateau, called the k(x)(-1) region, is presented in the logarithmic region. Based on an analysis of the net force spectra, three spectral ranges in the wavelength space, corresponding to small-(lambda(x)/delta <= 1), large- (1 <= lambda(x)/delta <= 1) and very-large-scale (lambda(x)/delta >= 1) motions for a Couette-Poiseuille flow, are proposed, and very-large-scale structures are highly energetic and contribute more than half of the streamwise turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress, where lambda(x) is the streamwise wavelength and delta is the channel half height.

We investigate the dynamical and statistical features of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow (for a radius ratio 0.5) through three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) at Reynolds numbers ranging from 1000 to 8000. We show that in three-dimensional space the Gortler vortices are randomly distributed in banded regions on the wall, concentrating at the outflow boundaries of Taylor vortex cells, which spread over the entire cylinder surface with increasing Reynolds number. Gortler vortices cause streaky structures that form herringbone-like patterns near the wall. For the Reynolds numbers studied here, the average axial spacing of the streaks is approximately 100 viscous wall units, and the average tilting angle ranges from 16 degrees to 20 degrees. simulation results have been compared to the experimental data in the literature, and the flow dynamics and statistics are discussed in detail.

The role of electric fields in stabilising combustion is a well-known phenomenon. Among the possible mechanisms favouring the anchorage of the flame base, the ion-driven wind acting directly on flow momentum ahead of the flame base could be the leading one. direct numerical simulation has been used to verify this hypothesis and lead to a better understanding of diffusion flame base anchoring in the presence of an externally applied voltage. In this context, a simplified modelling approach is proposed to describe combustion in the presence of electric body forces. The model reproduces the tendencies of experimental observations found in the literature. The sensitivity of the flame lift-off height to the applied voltage is studied and the modification of the velocity field ahead of the flame base induced by the electric volume forces is highlighted.

详细信息
direct numerical simulations (DNS) of incompressible turbulent channel flows at Re-tau = 180 and 395 (i.e., Reynolds number, based on the friction velocity and channel half-width) were performed using a stabilized finite element method (FEM). These simulations have been motivated by the fact that the use of stabilized finite element methods for DNS and LES is fairly recent and thus the question of how accurately these methods capture the wide range of scales in a turbulent flow remains open. To help address this question. we present converged results of turbulent channel flows under statistical equilibrium in terms of mean velocity, mean shear stresses, root mean square velocity fluctuations, autocorrelation coefficients, one-dimensional energy spectra and balances of the transport equation for turbulent kinetic energy. These results are consistent with previously published DNS results based on a pseudo-spectral method, thereby demonstrating the accuracy of the stabilized FEM for turbulence simulations.
