Multimode boundary-layer transition on a NACA0012 airfoil is experimentally investigated under periodically passing wakes and the moderate level of free-stream turbulence. The periodic wakes are generated by rotating circular cylinders clockwise or counterclockwise around the airfoil. The free-stream turbulence is produced by a grid upstream of the rotating cylinder, and its intensity(Tu) at the leading edge of the airfoil is $0.5\;or\;3.5\;{\%}$. The Reynolds number ($Re_c$) based on chord length (C) of the alrfoil is $2.0{\times}10^5$, and Strouhal number ($St_c$) of the passing wake is about 0.7. Time- and phase-averaged streamwise mean velocities and turbulence fluctuations are measured with a single hot-wire probe, and especially, the corresponding wall skin friction is evaluated using a computational Preston tube method. The wake-passing orientation changes pressure distribution on the airfoil in a different manner irrespective of the free-stream turbulence. Regardless of free-stream turbulence level, turbulent patches for the receding wakes propagate more rapidly than those for the approaching wake because adverse pressure gradient becomes larger. The patch under the high free-stream turbulence ($Tu=3.5{\%}$) grows more greatly in laminar-like regions compared with that under the low background turbulence ($Tu=0.5{\%}$) in laminar regions. The former, however, does not greatly change the original turbulence level in the very near-wall region while the latter does it. At further downstream, the former interacts vigorously with high environmental turbulence inside the pre-existing transitional boundary layer and gradually lose his identification, whereas the latter keep growing in the laminar boundary layer. The calmed region is more clearly observed under the lower free-stream turbulence level and for the receding wakes. The calmed region delays the breakdown further downstream and stabilizes more the boundary layer.

Laminar separation bubble and transitional flow over an airfoil are investigated at a moderate range of Reynolds numbers. In this research, a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes code is coupled with an empirical transition model that can predict transition onset points and the length of transition region. Without solving the boundary layer equations, approximated e-N method is directly applied to the RANS code and iteratively solved together. The computational results are compared with the experimental data for NACA0012 airfoil. Results of transition onset point and length are compared well with experimental and XFOIL prediction. In high angle of attack the present RANS results show better agreement than XFOIL results using the boundary layer equations.

A Navier-Stokes code with a modified low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. turbulence model was used to study the unsteady transitional boundary layer flow due to rotor-stator interaction. The modification, proposed by Launder, to improve prediction of stagnation flows was incorporated to the low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. turbulence model by Fan-Lakshminarayana-Barnett. Numerical solution is shown to capture well the calmed laminar flow as well as the wake induced transitional strip due to rotor-stator interaction and shows improvement, in terms of onset of transition and its length, over previous Euler/boundary layer solution. The turbulent kinetic energy shows local maximum along the upstream rotor wake in the wake induced transitional strip and this characteristics is observed untill the end of transition. The wake induced strip also shown apparent even in the laminar sublayer as the upstream rotor wake penetrates inside the boundary layer.

경계층 천이는 극초음속 비행체의 열공력 성능에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에, 성능 해석과 설계를 위해 천이지점의 정확한 예측 능력이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 극초음속 경계층 천이 예측을 위한 γ-Re_θt 모델을 개선하고 검증하였다. 천이 시작 위치 결정에 영향을 주는 간헐도 수송방정식 생성항의 계수를 압축성 경계층 상사해를 기반으로 마하수와 벽면온도, 자유류 정체온도 등에 대한 함수 형태로 구성하고 적용하였다. 기본 모델의 Re_θc와 F_length 상관관계식에 마하수에 따른 천이 시작 운동량두께 레이놀즈수와 천이구간의 길이 변화를 반영할 수 있도록 마하수에 대한 관계식을 추가로 결정하여 적용하였다. 실용적인 사용을 고려하여 제안 모델을 상용 CFD 코드에 적용하였으며, 검증을 위해 모델을 사용하여 극초음속 평판과 원뿔 경계층 해석을 수행하였다. 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 마하수와 단위 레이놀즈수 변화에 대한 개선된 예측성능을 확인하였다.

It has been long suspected that the transition region may give rise to local pressure fluctuations and radiated sound that are different from those created by the fully-developed turbulent boundary layer at equivalent Reynolds number. Experimental investigation described in this paper concerns the characteristics of pressure fluctuations at the transition. Flush-mounted microphones and hot wires are used to measure the pressure fluctuations and local flow velocities within the boudary layer in the low noise wind tunnel. From this experimental we could observe the spatial and temporal development process of T-S wave using Wigner-Ville method and found the possibility of relation between the characteristic frequency of T-S wave and free stream velocity and the boundary layer thickness based on nondimensional pressure spectra scaled on outer variables.

The hydrodynamic stability of the Karman boundary-layer flow due to a rotating disk has been numerically investigated for moving disturbance waves. The disturbed flow over a rotating disk can lead to transition at much lower Re than that of the well-known Type I instability mode. This early transition is due to the excitation of the Type II instability mode of moving disturbances. Presented are the neutral stability results concerning the two instability modes by solving new linear stability equations reformulated not only by considering whole convective terms but by correcting some errors in the previous stability equations. The reformulated stability equations are slightly different with the previous ones. However, the present neutral stability results are considerably different with the previously known ones. It is found that the flow is always stable for a disturbance whose dimensionless wave number k is greater than 0.75.

A modified $textsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$model is proposed for calculation of transitional boundary-layer flows with changing pressure gradient. In order to develop the model for this problem, the flow is divided into three regions; pre-transition region, transition region and fully turbulent region. The effect of pressure gradient is taken into account in stream-wise intermittency factor, which bridges the eddy-viscosity models in the pre-transition region and the fully turbulent region. From intermittency data in various flows, Narashima＇s intermittency function, F(${\gamma}$), has been found to be proportional to $\chi$$^{n}$ according to the extent of pressure gradient. Three empirical correlations of intermittency factor being analyzed, the best one was chosen to calculate three benchmark cases of bypass transition flows with different free-stream turbulence intensity under arbitrary pressure gradient. It was found that the variations of skin friction and shape factor as well as the profiles of mean velocity in the transition region were very satisfactorily predicted.

소형 초음속 연소시험 장치 구축의 일부로서 형상 천이 노즐 설계 연구를 수행하였다. 원형의 연소식 공기가열기에 정사각형 단면의 초음속 연소기를 연결하기 위하여 MOC 설계기법을 이용하여 초음속 형상 천이 노즐의 면적변화를 산출하였다. 천이율을 조절하기 위하여 형상 천이 함수를 도입하였다. 3차원 전산유체 해석을 통한 경계층 보정과 함께 몇 가지 형상 천이 함수의 영향을 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 형상 천이 노즐에서는 일반적인 사각단면 노즐에서 모서리에 발생하는 압력구배에 의한 재순환영역과 이에 의한 노즐 벽 중심부의 경계층 발달이 비교적 작게 나타남을 확인하였다.

Numerical prediction of the diffusion controlled transition in a turbine gas pass is important because it can change the local heat transfer rate over a turbine blade as much as three times. In this study, the gas flow over turbine blade is simplified to the flat plate boundary layer, and an adaptive grid scheme redistributing grid points within the computation domain is proposed with a great emphasis on the construction of the grid control function. The function is sensitized to the second invariant of the mean strain tensor, its spatial gradient, and the interaction of pressure gradient and flow deformation. The transition process is assumed to be described with a κ-ε turbulence model. An elliptic solver is employed to integrate governing equations. Numerical results show that the proposed adaptive grid scheme is very effective in obtaining grid independent numerical solution with a very low grid number. It is expected that present scheme is helpful in predicting actual flow within a turbine to improve computation efficiency.
