Passive Control of Condensation Shock Wave in Prandtl—Meyer Expansion Flow

In this paper, the effects of the passive technique by using the slotted wall on the characteristics of a condensation shock wave generated in a Prandtl-Meyer flow were investigated experimentally. Furthermore, in order to clarify the variation of condensation properties in the flow field, Navier-Stokes equations were solved numerically using a 3rd-order MUSCL type TVD finite-difference scheme with a second-order fractional-step for time integration. Baldwin-Lomax model was used as a turbulence model in the computations. From experimental results, it was found that the shock strength on the slotted wall became weak in comparison with no passive case (solid wall), and the present passive technique was the most effective when a foot of the condensation shock wave was located at the middle of slotted wall. Furthermore, it was confirmed numerically that the passive technique was also effective for the unsteady condensation shock wave.     

Liquid phase evaporation on the normal shock wave in moist air transonic flows in nozzles

This paper presents a numerical analysis of the atmospheric air transonic flow through de Laval nozzles.By nature,atmospheric air always contains a certain amount of water vapor.The calculations were made using a Laval nozzle with a high expansion rate and a convergent-divergent (CD) "half-nozzle",referred to as a transonic diffuser,with a much slower expansion rate.The calculations were performed using an in-house CFD code.The computational model made it possible to simulate the formation of the liquid phase due to spontaneous condensation of water vapor contained in moist air.The transonic flow calculations also take account of the presence of a normal shock wave in the nozzle supersonic part to analyze the effect of the liquid phase evaporation.     

Passive Control of Transonic Flow Fields with Shock Wave Using Non—equilibrium Condensation and Porous wall

When non-equilibrium condensation occurs in a supersonic flow field, the flow is affected by the latent heat released. In the present study, in order to control the transonic flow field with shock wave, a condensing flow was produced by an expansion of moist air on a circular bump model and shock waves were occurred in the supersonic parts of the fields. Furthermore, the additional passive technique of shock / boundary layer interaction using the porous wall with a cavity underneath was adopted in this flow field. The effects of these methods on the shock wave characteristics were investigated numerically and experimentally. The result obtained showed that the total pressure loss in the flow fields might be effectively reduced by the suitable combination between non-equilibrium condensation and the position of porous wall.

Theory of film condensation on shock-tube endwall behind reflected shock wave (Part II: Theoretical basis for determination of condensation coefficient)

This paper is concerned with the theoretical basis for the determination of the condensation coefficient of vapor by means of a shock tube. Film condensation on the shock-tube endwall behind a reflected shock wave is analyzed on the basis of the first author's gas-dynamics theory. It is clarified that there exists a transition phenomenon during the growth of a liquid film, that is, the liquid film grows in proportion to time immediately after the reflection of the shock wave, and after a transition time, it grows in proportion to the square root of time. The transition phenomenon between these growths is caused by the change in heat conduction characteristics at the endwall. The reason why the condensation coefficient must be determined before the transition is clarified. © 1997 Scripta Technica, Inc. Heat Trans Jpn Res 25(3): 166–177, 1996     

Shock wave smearing by passive control

Normal shock wave, terminating a local supersonic area on an airfoil, limits its performance and becomes a source of high speed impulsive noise. It is proposed to use passive control to disintegrate the shock wave. Details of the flow structure obtained by this method are studied numerically. A new boundary condition has been developed and the results of its application are verified against experiments in a nozzle flow. The method of shock wave disintegration has been confirmed and detailed analysis of the flow details is presented. The substitution of a shock wave by a gradual compression changes completely the source of the high speed impulsive noise and bears potential of its reduction.

Study of the Unsteady Condensation of Moist Air in Shock Tube

The major flow physics of the unsteady condensation in the subsonic flows induced by the unsteady expansion waves in shock tube was studied in this paper. The unsteady condensation phenomenon was analyzed by using the two-dimensional, unsteady, Navier-Stokes equations, which were fully coupled with a droplet growth equation. The third-order TVD MUSCL scheme was applied to solve the governing equation systems. The computational results were compared with the previous experimental data. The time-dependent behavior of unsteady condensation of moist air in shock tube was investigated in details. The results show that the major characteristics of the unsteady condensation phenomenon in shock tube are very different from those in the supersonic wind tunnels.

Characteristics of Spherical Shock Wave and Circular Pulse Jet Generated by Discharge of Propagating Shock Wave at Open End of Tube

When the shock wave propagating in the straight circular tube reaches at the open end, the impulsive wave is generated by the emission of a shock wave from an open end, and unsteady pulse jet is formed near the open end behind the impulsive wave under the specific condition. The pulse jet transits to spherical shock wave with the increase in the strength of shock wave. The strength is dependent on the Mach number of shock wave, which attenuates by propagation distance from the open end. In this study, the mechanism of generating the unsteady pulse jet, the characteristics of the pressure distribution in the flow field and the emission of shock wave from straight circular tube which has the infinite flange at open end are analyzed numerically by the TVD method. Strength of spherical shock wave, relation of shock wave Mach number, distance decay of spherical shock wave and directional characteristics are clarified.

Effect of non-equilibrium condensation of moist air on unsteady behaviour of shock waves around a circular arc blade

The unsteady phenomena in the transonic flow around airfoils are observed in the flow field of fan,compressorblades and butterfly valves,and this often causes serious problems such as the aeroacoustic noise,the vibration.In the transonic or supersonic flow where vapour is contained in the main flow,the rapid expansion of the flowmay give rise to a non-equilibrium condensation.However,the effect of non-equilibrium condensation on thetransonic internal flows around the airfoil has not yet been clarified satisfactorily.In the present study,the effectof non-equilibrium condensation of moist air on the self-excited shock wave oscillation on a circular arc bladewas investigated numerically.The results showed that in the case with non-equilibrium condensation,frequenciesof the flow oscillation became smaller than those without the non-equilibrium condensation.     

Numerical analysis of shock induced separation delay by air humidity

In this paper numerical calculations of the dry and humid air flows in the nozzle are presented. The dry air flow (adiabatic flow) and the humid air flow (flow with homogeneous condensation, diabatic flow) are modeled with the use of Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The comparison of these two types of flow is carried out. The influence of the air humidity on the shock wave location and its interaction with the boundary layer is examined. Obtained numerical results present a first numerical approach of the condensation and evaporation process in transonic flow of humid air. The phenomena considered here are very complex and complicated and need further in-depth numerical analysis.     

Flow control effect on unsteadiness of shock wave induced separation

In usual cases of significant pressure gradients and strong shocks, the front shock takes a fixed location along the wall, at which separation starts. Usually the rear shock is responding to vortex sheding by its deflection angle. In consequence main shock and rear shocks are moving whilst front shock is stable. The goal of the measurements presented here is to find out how the k-foot behaves during shock oscillations in the case when front shock is not fixed by the pressure gradient. Unsteady shock behaviour is also investigated when air jet vortex generators （AJVG） are used. Counteraction of the separation is directly related to the influence on unsteady processes in the shock wave induced separation.     

Shock wave strength reduction by passive control using perforated plates

Strong,normal shock wave,terminating a local supersonic area on an airfoil,not only limits aerodynamic per-formance but also becomes a source of a high-speed impulsive helicopter noise.The application of a passive con-trol system(a cavity covered by a perforated plate)on a rotor blade should reduce the noise created by a movingshock.This article covers the numerical implementation of the Bohning/Doerffer transpiration law into theSPARC code and includes an extended validation against the experimental data for relatively simple geometriesof transonic nozzles.It is a first step towards a full simulation of a helicopter rotor equipped with a noise reducingpassive control device in hover and in forward flight conditions.     

Unsteady transonic flow control around an airfoil in a channel

Transonic internal flow around an airfoil is associated with self-excited unsteady shock wave oscillation. This unsteady phenomenon generates buffet, high speed impulsive noise, non-synchronous vibration, high cycle fatigue failure and so on. Present study investigates the effectiveness of perforated cavity to control this unsteady flow field. The cavity has been incorporated on the airfoil surface. The degree of perforation of the cavity is kept constant as 30%. However, the number of openings (perforation) at the cavity upper wall has been varied. Results showed that this passive control reduces the strength of shock wave compared to that of baseline airfoil. As a result, the intensity of shock wave/boundary layer interaction and the root mean square (RMS) of pressure oscillation around the airfoil have been reduced with the control method.     

Effect of Non-Equilibrium Condensation of Moist Air on Flow Field in Ludwieg Tube

The time-dependent behavior of non-equilibrium condensation of moist air through a Ludwieg tube with a diaphragm downstream is investigated by using a computational fluid dynamics work. The two-dimensional, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations, fully coupled with the condensate droplet growth equations, are numerically solved by a third-order MUSCL type TVD finite-difference scheme with a second-order fractional time step. Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model is employed to close the governing equations. The present computations represent the experimental flows well. The results obtained show that for an initial relative humidity over 40 %, the periodic excursions of the condensation shock occurs in the Ludwieg tube, and the frequency increases with the initial relative humidity. It is also found that total pressure loss due to non-equilibrium condensation in the Ludwieg tube should not be ignored even for a very low initial relative humidity. Furthermore, the variations of condensation properties are also di     

Numerical study of shock tube flows with homogeneous and heterogeneous condensations in rarefaction wave

<正>Shock tubes are devices in which the state of a gas is changed suddenly from one uniform state to another by the passage of shock and expansion waves.In the theory of ideal shock tube flow,it is customarily assumed that the unsteady expansion and shock waves generated by diaphragm rupture are a perfectly centered plane wave.However, such waves are generally not centered,or may not even by plane in practice.In the present research,the time-dependent behavior of homogeneous and heterogeneous condensation of moist air in the shock tube is investigated by using a computational fluid dynamics work.Further,the numerical and experimental studies were carried out in order to investigate the effect of the diaphragm rupture process on the flow characteristics of expansion and shock waves generated near the diaphragm.
