摘要
The experiments of primary and secondary instabilities with controlled excitation are carried out on a swept flat plate to study the process leading to the final breakdown of laminar flow. Two types of high frequency secondary instabilities are identified. The most amplified mode is centered about the inflection point of the crosswise profile of the boundary layer and is interpreted as inflectional instability, the other occurs in the one third of the boundary layer from the wall. The high frequency disturbances are highly amplified but they also saturate similarly to the primary and nonlinearly generated disturbances. Their main effect in the final breakdown seems interact with the disturbances is developed and thus widens the frequency spectrum to turbulent state.
对后掠平板用可控的人工激励激发基频与二次不稳定性 ,研究层流后掠机翼流动导致最后转捩的过程。实验中发现有两个高频二次不稳定模态出现。其中一个为最大放大率的模态 ,位于垂直于壁面的速度型的拐点处 ,属于拐点不稳定性。另一个模态位于附面层的三分之一处。高频二次不稳定模态的增长比基频及其谐波要大的多 ,但与后者类似具有饱和阶段的出现。高频二次不稳定模态对最后转捩的影响主要体现在与其他扰动的相互作用 ,并导致出现紊流状态宽带频谱。
