Numerical evaluation of passive control of shock wave/boundary layer interaction on NACA0012 airfoil using jagged wall

Shock formation due to flow compressibility and its interaction with boundary layers has adverse effects on aerodynamic characteristics, such as drag increase and flow separation. The objective of this paper is to appraise the practicability of weakening shock waves and, hence, reducing the wave drag in transonic flight regime using a two-dimensional jagged wall and thereby to gain an appropriate jagged wall shape for future empirical study. Different shapes of the jagged wall, including rectangular, circular, and triangular shapes, were employed. The numerical method was validated by experimental and numerical studies involving transonic flow over the NACA0012 airfoil, and the results presented here closely match previous experimental and numerical results. The impact of parameters, including shape and the length-to-spacing ratio of a jagged wall, was studied on aerodynamic forces and flow field. The results revealed that applying a jagged wall method on the upper surface of an airfoil changes the shock structure significantly and disintegrates it, which in turn leads to a decrease in wave drag. It was also found that the maximum drag coefficient decrease of around 17 % occurs with a triangular shape, while the maximum increase in aerodynamic efficiency（lift-to-drag ratio）of around 10 % happens with a rectangular shape at an angle of attack of 2.26？.

Shockwave–boundary layer interaction control by plasma aerodynamic actuation:An experimental investigation

The potential of controlling shockwave-boundary layer interactions （SWBLIs） in air by plasma aerodynamic actua- tion is demonstrated. Experiments are conducted in a Mach 3 in-draft air tunnel. The separation-inducing shock is generated with a diamond-shaped shockwave generator located on the wall opposite to the surface electrodes, and the flow properties are studied with schlieren imaging and static wall pressure probes. The measurements show that the separation phenomenon is weakened with the plasma aerodynamic actuation, which is observed to have significant control authority over the inter- action. The main effect is the displacement of the reflected shock. Perturbations of incident and reflected oblique shocks interacting with the separation bubble in a rectangular cross section supersonic test section are produced by the plasma actuation. This interaction results in a reduction of the separation bubble size, as detected by phase-lock schlieren images. The measured static wall pressure also shows that the separation-inducing shock is restrained. Our results suggest that the boundary layer separation control through heating is the primary control mechanism.

Model for Asymmetry of Shock/Boundary Layer Interactions in Nozzle Flows

The reason for the asymmetry phenomenon of shock/boundary layer interactions(SBLI)in a completely symmetric nozzle with symmetric flow conditions is still an open question.A model for the asymmetry of nozzle flows was proposed based on the properties of fluid entrainment in the mixing layer and momentum conservation.The asymmetry model is deduced based on the nozzle flow with restricted shock separation,and is still applicable for free shock separation.Flow deflection angle at nozzle exit is deduced from this model.Steady numerical simulations are conducted to model the asymmetry of the SBLIs in a planar convergent-divergent nozzle tested by previous researchers.The obtained values of deflection angle based on the numerical results of forced symmetric nozzle flows can judge the asymmetry of flows in a nozzle at some operations.It shows that the entrainment of shear layer on the separation induced by SBLTs is one of the reasons for the asymmetry in the confined SBLIs.

Hypersonic Shock Wave/Boundary Layer Interactions by a Third-Order Optimized Symmetric WENO Scheme

A novel third-order optimized symmetric weighted essentially non-oscillatory(WENO-OS3)scheme is used to simulate the hypersonic shock wave/boundary layer interactions.Firstly,the scheme is presented with the achievement of low dissipation in smooth region and robust shock-capturing capabilities in discontinuities.The Maxwell slip boundary conditions are employed to consider the rarefied effect near the surface.Secondly,several validating tests are given to show the good resolution of the WENO-OS3 scheme and the feasibility of the Maxwell slip boundary conditions.Finally,hypersonic flows around the hollow cylinder truncated flare(HCTF)and the25°/55°sharp double cone are studied.Discussions are made on the characteristics of the hypersonic shock wave/boundary layer interactions with and without the consideration of the slip effect.The results indicate that the scheme has a good capability in predicting heat transfer with a high resolution for describing fluid structures.With the slip boundary conditions,the separation region at the corner is smaller and the prediction is more accurate than that with no-slip boundary conditions.

Based on the zonal analysis an overall framework of complicated interaction flow structure including both surface flowfield and space flowfield is discussed. Based on correlation analysis the conical interactions induced by four families of shock wave generators have been discussed in detail. Some control parameter and physical mechanism of conical interaction have been revealed. Finally some aspects of the problem and the prospects for future work are suggested.

THE INTERACTION OF A SHOCK WAVE WITH THE BOUNDARY LAYER IN A REFLECTED SHOCK TUNNEL

The influence of a nontotal reflection on the interaction of a reflected shock wave with the boundary layer in a reflected shock tunnel has been investigated. The calculating method of the velocity, the temperature and the Mach number profiles in the boundary layer in reflected shock fixed coordinates has been obtained. To account for equilibrium real gas effects of nitrogen, the numerical results show that the minimum Mach number in the boundary layer has been moved from the wall into the boundary layer with the increasing of the incident shock Mach number. The minimum Mach number, the shock angle in the bifurcated foot and the jet velocity along the wall to the end plate are reduced owing to the Increasing of the area of nozzle throat. The numerical results are in good agreement with measurements.

Study of interaction between shock wave and unsteady boundary layer

This paper reports theoretical and experimental study of a new type of interaction of a moving shock wave with an unsteady boundary layer. This type of shock wave-boundary layer interaction describes a moving shock wave interaction with an unsteady boundary layer induced by another shock wave and a rarefaction wave. So it is different from the interaction of a stationary shock wave with steady boundary layer, also different from the interaction of a reflected moving shock wave at the end of a shock tube with unsteady boundary layer induced by an incident shock. Geometrical shock dynamics is used for the theoretical analysis of the shock wave-unsteady boundary layer interaction, and a double-driver shock tube with a rarefaction wave bursting diaphragm is used for the experimental investigation in this work.

HEATING CHARACTERISTICS OF BLUNT SWEPT FIN-INDUCED SHOCK WAVE TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER INTERACTION

An experimental study was conducted on shock wave turbulent boundary layer interactions caused by a blunt swept fin-plate configuration at Mach numbers of 5.0, 7.8, 9.9 for a Reynolds number range of (1.0.similar to 4.7) x 10(7)/m. Detailed heat transfer and pressure distributions were measured at fin deflection angles of up to 30 degrees for a sweepback angle of 67.6 degrees. Surface oil flow patterns and liquid crystal thermograms as well as schlieren pictures of fin shock shape were taken. The study shows that the flow was separated at deflection of 10 degrees and secondary separation were detected at deflection of theta greater than or equal to 20 degrees. The heat transfer and pressure distributions on flat plate showed an extensive plateau region followed by a distinct dip and local peak close to the fin foot. Measurements of the plateau pressure and heat transfer were in good agreement with existing prediction methods, but pressure and heating peak measurements at M greater than or equal to 6 were significantly lower than predicted by the simple prediction techniques at lower Mach numbers.

Effects of Number of Bleed Holes on Shock-Wave/Boundary-Layer Interactions in a Transonic Compressor Stator

An extensive numerical investigation is conducted to characterize the flow separation control in a transonic compressor cascade with a porous bleed.The bleed holes are arranged on the suction surface in a single row,two staggered rows and three staggered rows.For each bleed scheme,five bleed pressure ratios are examined at an inlet Mach number of 1.0.The results indicate that the aerodynamic performance of the cascade is significantly improved by the porous bleed.For the single-row scheme,the maximum reduction in total pressure losses is 57%.For the two-staggered-row and three-staggered-row schemes,there is an optimal bleed pressure ratio of 1.0,and the maximum reductions in total pressure loss are 68% and 75%,respectively.The low loss in the cascade is due to the well-controlled boundary layer.The new local supersonic region created by the bleed hole is the key reason for the improved boundary layer.The vortex induced by side bleeding provides another mechanism for delaying flow separation.Increasing the bleed holes could create multiple local supersonic regions,which reduce the range of the adverse pressure gradient that the boundary layer needs to withstand.This is the reason why cascades with more bleed holes perform better.

Large-eddy simulation of shock-wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction with and without Spark Jet control

The efficiency and mechanism of an active control device ＂＇Spark Jet＂ and its application in shock-induced separation control are studied using large-eddy simulation in this paper. The base flow is the interaction of an oblique shock-wave generated by 8° wedge and a spatially-developing Ma = 2.3 turbulent boundary layer. The Reynolds number based on the incoming flow property and the boundary layer displacement thickness at the impinging point without shock-wave is 20000. The detailed numerical approaches were presented. The inflow turbulence was generated using the digital filter method to avoid artificial temporal or streamwise periodicity. The , merical results including velocity profile, Reynolds stress profile, skin friction, and wall pressure were sys- tematically validated against the available wind tunnel particle image velocimetry （PIV） measure- ments of the same flow condition. Further study on the control of flow separation due to the strong shock-viscous interaction using an active control actuator ＂＇Spark Jet＇＂ was conducted. The single-pulsed characteristic of the device was obtained and compared with the experiment. Both instantaneous and time-averaged flow fields have shown that the jet flow issuing from the actuator cavity enhances the flow mixing inside the boundary layer, making the boundary layer more resis- tant to flow separation. Skin friction coefficient distribution shows that the separation bubble length is reduced by about 35% with control exerted.

Shock wave-boundary layer interactions control by plasma aerodynamic actuation

This study demonstrates the potential for shock wave-boundary layer interaction control in air by plasma aerodynamic actuation.Experimental investigations on shock wave-boundary layer interactions control by plasma aerodynamic actuation are conducted in a Mach 3 in-draft air tunnel.Schlieren imaging shows that the discharges cause the oblique shock to move forward.Schlieren imaging and static pressure probes also show that separation phenomenon shifts backward and the size of separation is enlarged when plasma aerodynamic actuation is applied.The intensity of shock wave is weakened through wall pressure probe.Furthermore,numerical investigations on shock wave-boundary layer interactions control are conducted with plasma aerodynamic actuation.The discharge is modeled as a steady volumetric heat source which is integrated into the energy equation.The input energy level is about 7 kW through discharge process.Results show that the separation phenomenon shifts backward and the intensity of shock is reduced with plasma actuation.These numerical results are consistent with the experimental results.

A CALCULATING METHOD OF SHOCK WAVE OSCILLATING FREQUENCY DUE TO TURBULENT SHEAR LAYER FLUCTUATIONS IN SUPERSONIC FLOW

One of the more severe fluctuating pressure environments encountered in supersonic or hypersonic flows is the shock wave oscillation driven by interaction of a shock wave with boundary layer. The high intensity oscillating shock wave may induce structure resonance of a high speed vehicle. The research for the shock oscillation used to adopt empirical or semiempirical methods because the phenomenon is very complex. In this paper a theoretical solution on shock oscillating frequency due to turbulent shear layer fluctuations has been obtained from basic conservation equations. Moreover, we have attained the regularity of the frequency of oscillating shock varying with incoming flow Much numbers M and turning angle . The calculating results indicate excellent agreement with measurements. This paper has supplied a valuable analytical method to study aeroelastic problems produced by shock wave oscillation.

Passage shock wave/boundary layer interaction control for transonic compressors using bumps

Flow separation due to shock wave/boundary layer interaction is dominated in blade passage with supersonic relative incoming flow,which always accompanies aerodynamic performance penalties.A loss reduction method for smearing the passage shock foot via Shock Control Bump(SCB)located on transonic compressor rotor blade suction side is implemented to shrink the region of boundary layer separation.The curved windward section of SCB with constant adverse pressure gradient is constructed ahead of passage shock-impingement point at design rotor speed of Rotor 37 to get the improved model.Numerical investigations on both two models have been conducted employing Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)method to reveal flow physics of SCB.Comparisons and analyses on simulation results have also been carried out,showing that passage shock foot of baseline is replaced with a family of compression waves and a weaker shock foot for moderate adverse pressure gradient as well as suppression of boundary layer separations and secondary flow of low-momentum fluid within boundary layer.It is found that adiabatic efficiency and total pressure ratio of improved blade exceeds those of baseline at 95%-100%design rotor speed,and then slightly worsens with decrease of rotatory speed till both equal below 60%rated speed.The investigated conclusion implies a potential promise for future practical applications of SCB in both transonic and supersonic compressors.

Shock-Boundary Layer Interaction Control,Predictions Using a Viscous-Inviscid Interaction Procedure and a Navier-Stokes Solver

The present contribution describes two prediction methods for flows around transonic airfoils, including shock control devices. The wliole work was done in the frame of the European Shock Control Inves tigation Project EUROSHOCK-AER-2, and the global objective was the improvement of the flight performance, in transonic speed, in terms of cruise speed, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions for both laminar and turbulent wings. More specilically the "passive" control of shock/boundary layer interaction, whereby part of the solid suLrfaCe of the airfoil is replaced by a porous surface over a shallow cavity, has been shown to be a means of improving the aerodynamic characteristics of supercritical airfoils.

Direct numerical simulation of shock/turbulent boundary layer interaction in a supersonic compression ramp

A direct numerical simulation of the shock/turbulent boundary layer interaction flow in a supersonic 24-degree compression ramp is conducted with the free stream Mach number 2.9.The blow-and-suction disturbance in the upstream wall boundary is used to trigger the transition.Both the mean wall pressure and the velocity profiles agree with those of the experimental data,which validates the simulation.The turbulent kinetic energy budget in the separation region is analyzed.Results show that the turbulent production term increases fast in the separation region,while the turbulent dissipation term reaches its peak in the near-wall region.The turbulent transport term contributes to the balance of the turbulent conduction and turbulent dissipation.Based on the analysis of instantaneous pressure in the downstream region of the mean shock and that in the separation bubble,the authors suggest that the low frequency oscillation of the shock is not caused by the upstream turbulent disturbance,but rather the instability of separation bubble.

Scaling of interaction lengths for hypersonic shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interactions

The interaction length induced by Shock Wave/Turbulent Boundary-Layer Interactions(SWTBLIs)in the hypersonic flow was investigated using a scaling analysis,in which the interaction length normalized by the displacement thickness of boundary layer was correlated with a corrected non-dimensional separation criterion across the interaction after accounting for the wall temperature effects.A large number of hypersonic SWTBLIs were compiled to examine the scaling analysis over a wide range of Mach numbers,Reynolds numbers,and wall temperatures.The results indicate that the hypersonic SWTBLIs with low Reynolds numbers collapse on the supersonic SWTBLIs,while the hypersonic cases with high Reynolds numbers show a more rapid growth of the interaction length than that with low Reynolds numbers.Thus,two scaling relationships are identified according to different Reynolds numbers for the hypersonic SWTBLIs.The scaling analysis provides valuable guidelines for engineering prediction of the interaction length,and thus,enriches the knowledge of hypersonic SWTBLIs.

Strong interactions of incident shock wave with boundary layer along compression corner

The coherent structure and instability of the interaction of incident shock wave with boundary layer developing on a compression corner are experimentally studied.The experiments are carried out in a supersonic wind tunnel of Mach number 2.Particular attention is paid to shock patterns and unsteady shock motions induced by the separation bubble.The high-speed schlieren is used to visualize the flowfield evolution and to characterize the instability.The snapshot proper orthogonal decomposition of schlieren sequences is applied to investigate the primary coherent structure in the flowfield.Fast Fourier transform and continuous wavelet transformation are applied to characterize the instability.The results show that there are large-scale low-frequency oscillations of the shock waves and small-scale high-frequency pulsations in the separation region.The peak frequency of shock oscillation is mainly concentrated in the range of 100–1000 Hz.The pulsation of the small flow structure in the separation bubble is mainly concentrated above 12.5 k Hz.Based on the results of experimental analysis,the preliminary mechanism of the largescale instability of such interaction is obtained.
