Flow Interaction of Shedding Vortex with Injected Normal Blowing
- Published : 2012.05.17
Abstract
This paper is concerned with turbulent flow computations using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and the flow interaction of vortex shedding in a cylindrical duct flow driven by mass blowing through the wall. The purpose is to analyze non-linear combustion characteristics in the presence of vortex shedding generated in a hybrid rocket motor. Experimental studies have shown sudden changes in pressure (referred as a DC-shift), which depend on the strength of vortex strength of incoming flow. The combustion instability because of a sudden change in pressure fluctuations is mainly related with the interaction between vortex shedding. Therefore LES computation on a duct with injected normal blowing was performed to simulate the turbulent flow interactions with the behaviors of vortices and vortex structures along the injected wall.
