Based on experiments, there are two main reasons which can be usedto explain the hysteresis of vortex breakdown. One is the time or phase lag due to the ini-tial suPerPOsition of linearized small disturbance, which enlarges the range of the incidenceof keeping attached flow and postpones the initial incidence of vortex breakdown. Theother is the reduction of adverse pressure gradient due to the periphery centrifugal instabil-ity after the concentrated vortex has come into being, which is the key reason of hystere-sis of vortex breakdown- The structure of vortex over a pitching up delta wing can be di-vided into three layers, which is not a significant a1teration compared with that of vortexover a static delta wing.展开更多

The vortex coreis visualized by dye injection from a small tube located upstream the apex of a delta wing. Thetest results are recorded by a video camera connected to a computer and processed by Photoshop^(^R)software. The test shows new findings in the following respects: (1) Besides the well known spiraland bubble forms of vortex breakdown, there are 3 other forms of vortex breakdown over delta wingfound in the test. They are the frog-jump form, the double spiral form and the filiform spiral form.(2) It has also been found that there is a transition from the spiral form to the bubble form andthen back to the spiral form in the test. Therefore it shows that the spiral form vortex breakdownover delta wing is often observed. (3) In a certain sense it can be said that the bubble form ofvortex breakdown is a special case of the spiral form type. There is no essential difference betweenthem. For the bubble form of vortex breakdown , there are branches of the vortex core and manyelements carrying vorticity separated from the vortex core. However, there is at least one vortexfilament that forms a spiral or a complex warping shape.展开更多

Firstly, the IDDES model and the relative numerical methods were validated by simulating the massively separated flow around an NACA0021 straight wing at the AOA of 60°. The fluctuation properties of the lift and pressure coefficients were analyzed and compared with the available measurements. For the DDW case, the computations were compared with such mea-surements as the mean lift, drag, pitching moment, pressure coefficients and breakdown locations. Furthermore, the unsteady properties were investigated in detail, such as the frequencies of force and moments, pressure fluctuation on the upper surface, typical vortex breakdown patterns at three moments, and the distributions of kinetic turbulence energy at a stream wise section. Two dominated modes are observed, in which their Strouhal numbers are 1.0 at the AOAs of 30°, 32° and 34° and 0.7 at the AOAs of 36o, 38° and 40°. The breakdown vortex always moves upstream and downstream and its types change alternatively. Furthermore, the vortex can be identified as breakdown or not through the mean pressure, root mean square of pressure, or even through correlation analysis.展开更多

Investigation of the flow patterns at H/R = 1. 50 wasexperimentally carried out for the first time in both processes. By means of symmetry analysis, itis found that the overall flow structure in the spin-up process still keep axi-symmetric to a greatextent, but deteriorated very fast in the spin-down process. The time to settle to the state of restin the spin-down process is found to be greatly shorter than the time to achieve the steady statein the spin-up process. Temporarily oscillatory vortex breakdown was discovered during the spin-upprocess, although no breakdown in the steady state at the same Reynolds number is found in preciousresearches.展开更多

Flow detailsinside the bubble and its Re -dependent structure were made clear. Abrupt waves of the azimuthalvelocity component were always found to be between the bottom stationary endwall and the upstreamstagnation point, which might be the reason of bubble formation. Variation of bubble structure andbubble center with the increasing Re gives the explanation for the disappearance of the breakdownregion.展开更多

High-quality precision-controlled turntable facilities were established at Shanghai Jiaotong University and Tokyo Denki University independently. Collaborative investigations of vortex breakdown were carried out using CFD, Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) and streakline visualization, respectively. The characteristics of vortex breakdown were delineated in terms of comparative investigation using numerical and experimental results. SIMPLEC scheme and FMG multigrid was applied to numerical simulation. Numerical simulation was extensively compared with streakline visualization and LDV measurements, showing qualitative and quantitative agreements.展开更多

CFD captured well characteristics of flow structure of the vortex system. It is found that the vortex system has a cone-shaped configuration, and both rotational velocity and vorticity have their largest values at the tip of the vortex and reduce downstream along the vortical axis. This resulted in inducing the largest negative pressure at the tip of the delta wing surface. The collapse of the vortex system was also studied. The system can still remain until the tip angle of 110 degrees. However, between 110 degrees and 120 degrees, the system becomes unstable. Over 120 degrees, the characteristics of the vortex are considered to have converted from the longitudinal vortex to the transverse one.展开更多
