▼ The present effort explores the relative impact of various topographical scales present within irregular surface roughness on a turbulent
boundary layer under both developing- and developed-flow conditions. Low-order representations of highly irregular surface roughness replicated from a turbine-blade damaged by deposition of foreign materials were generated using singular value decomposition to decompose the complex topography into a set of topographical basis functions of decreasing importance to the original “full” surface character. The low-order surface models were then formed by truncating the full set of basis functions at the first 5 and 16 modes (containing approximately 71% and 95% of the full surface content, respectively) so that only the most dominant and large-scale topographical features were included in the models, while the finer-scale surface details are excluded. Physical replications of the full surface and the two low-order models were created using rapid prototyping methods to generate short and long streamwise fetches of roughness, and 2-D particle-image velocimetry (PIV) was used to acquire ensembles of instantaneous velocity fields in the streamwise–
wall-normal plane for developing- and developed-flow conditions at moderate Reynolds number followed by stereo PIV measurements in a
wall-parallel plane deep in the roughness sublayer (y = 0.047δ). Comparison of both single- and multipoint statistics (mean velocity and Reynolds normal and shear stresses) as well as quadrant analysis of the instantaneous events contributing to the mean Reynolds shear stress from the 2-D PIV measurements indicates that a 16-mode model of the full surface faithfully reproduces the characteristics of flow over the full surface for both developing- and developed-flow conditions. For the latter scenario, both the 5- and 16-mode models reproduce the outer-
layer characteristics for flow over the full surface in accordance with Townsend’s
wall similarity hypothesis. However, neither low-order surface representation fully reproduces important details of the Reynolds-shear-stress-producing events within the roughness sublayer, particularly the contributions of the most intense ejection and sweep events.
The stereo-PIV measurements deep within the roughness sublayer at y = 0.047δ reveal a wealth of information about roughness-induced effects, including the tendency of the roughness to promote ‘channeling’ of the flow in the form of low- and high-momentum pathways as noted in contour maps of the mean velocity defect. Similarly, enhanced turbulent and vortical activity is observed both between and along the spanwise
boundaries of these streamwise-elongated large-scale pathways. Taken together, these observations support the idea that these persistent low-momentum pathways might represent the statistical imprint of trains of hairpin vortex packets that are channeled along preferred paths over the roughness. Conditional averaging and two-point correlations of velocity further support these structural observations, particularly…

▼ The turbulent boundary layer (TBL) noise generated inside an aircraft can have a detrimental impact on humans. In an effort to better understand TBL physics and measurement techniques, measurements of the fluctuating wall-pressure beneath a TBL have been performed in an anechoic wind tunnel. The measurements were made using an array of pressure microphones provided by Bombardier Aerospace. Analysis of frequency spectra indicated several shortcomings of the array, namely a low saturation limit and electrical issues, however the low speed spectra agree well with the Goody prediction model. Furthermore, an investigation of the relationship between wall-pressure and velocity fluctuations was performed using a pinhole mounted microphone and simultaneous hot-wire boundary layer measurements. This revealed flow interference from the hot-wire apparatus, obscuring the expected relationships and trends. Several areas of improvement have been identified, including higher saturation limit microphones, LDA for velocity measurements, and increasing rigidity of the experimental setup.

▼ In the present dissertation, turbulent
wall-pressure fluctuations are characterized. To capture the turbulent characteristics of the flow, large-eddy simulation is used to resolve the large scale motions of the flow directly. A
wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity model is selected to account for the effect of small scale motions. The streamwise/upwind Petrov-Galerkin method is chosen to discretize the computational domain and a second-order backward difference formula is applied for the time integration. Maintaining turbulent flow throughout the simulation domain to properly characterize turbulence is critical in investigating
wall-pressure fluctuations. In order to reduce the size of the simulation domain an inflow generation method, a variant of the recycling and rescaling method, is used. In this method, the turbulent velocity profile from a specific plane within the computational domain is recycled and rescaled propriately, and re-introduced at the inlet of the domain at every time step iteration. In the proposed method, the mean velocity profile is fixed at the inlet while the velocity fluctuations are recycled and rescaled to obtain the desired turbulent characteristics. This method is simple and effective and maintains the turbulent flow throughout the simulation domain. The non-reflecting
boundary conditions with a sponge
layer are applied at the top and exit of the computational domain to remove unwanted reflections from the
boundary. In order to examine the present inflow generation method and the ability to capture the
wall-pressure fluctuations, numerical results are verified on a flat plate with a zero pressure gradient. The mean velocity profile, the RMS velocity fluctuations, and the friction velocity over time are investigated to show the effectiveness of the present inflow turbulent generation method. Computed
wall-pressure fluctuations are evaluated using the time-averaged statistics and the spectra, to show that they are characterized well using the present method.

▼ A thermal infrared (TIR) camera is used to remotely sense the foliage temperature in a mountain valley. The foliage temperature is used as a proxy for air temperature and can be used to study and map the dynamics of the nocturnal, weak-wind
boundary layer in this valley. All radiative flux not originating from the forest canopy must be filtered out of the captured imagery. Once the image has been filtered it must be georeferenced and orthorectified before useful analyses can be performed. After geoprocessing is complete, a spatially explicit time series of temperatures for an entire forested mountain valley will be available for further exploitation. The geoprocessed thermal imagery can, when combined with various data recorded in situ, yield data sets such as sensible heat flux at the canopy surface, potential temperature profiles, the adiabatic lapse rate in the watershed, the state of static stability in the watershed, and to map
cold-air pool dynamics. Evidence was established that two concepts underlying the Bright Air study are valid for this study site. The first is that a TIR camera can accurately record foliage canopy temperature. The second is that on clear nights, foliage canopy temperature can be a proxy for the temperature of air immediately adjacent to the canopy. This study indicates that a TIR camera can accurately measure foliage canopy temperature on clear nights. Furthermore, the study indicates that on clear or intermittently cloudy nights, foliage canopy temperatures as measured by a TIR camera can be a proxy for the temperature of air immediately adjacent to the canopy. A process to georeference and orthorectify thermal imagery was selected and a tool to geoprocess the thermal imagery was created. Vertical profiles of potential temperature in the study area were created for times of interest and classified according to flow regimes. Dominant flow regimes were found to correlate well with earlier studies.
Cold-air pool formation and drainage evolution were characterized for several clear nights. Nocturnal
cold-air dynamics in the study area do not agree with common explanations of behavior of
cold-air pools and drainage in mountain valleys. Up-valley flow patterns in the watershed indicate that nocturnal flows in mountain valleys are not driven solely by gravity. For the nights studied, flows in the watershed interact with flows from other connected basins and have identifiable patterns and typical evolutionary stages.

▼ This study focuses on measuring and normalizing the roughness noise of multiple roughness types across numerous layouts and flow speeds. Using the Virginia Tech Anechoic
Wall Jet Facility, far field noise was recording for the flow of a turbulent
wall jet
boundary layer over cubes, hemispheres, and gravel, with element heights in the range of 14.3 - 55.2% of the
boundary layer thickness. The sound radiated from the various layouts showed that the elements acted as independent sources when separated by three element diameters center-to-center or more. When the elements were placed shoulder to shoulder, interaction between the elements and shielding of the higher velocity flow lowered the noise per element produced. The far field roughness noise was then normalized using the theory of Glegg et al. (2007), which assumes a dipole efficiency factor. Comparisons were made between the theoretical drag spectrum model proposed by Glegg et al. (1987) and a modified version of this model made using the empirical data gathered. Overall, the theory of Glegg et al. (2007) succeeds greatly in collapsing the data into its non-dimensional drag spectra, but the original model spectrum did not fit well. The modified spectrum showed much greater fit with the data at all layouts and speeds. The collapse of the data using the theory of Glegg et al. (2007) confirms that roughness noise is dipole in nature.

▼ Cette thèse traite des transferts pariétaux dans les écoulements turbulents supersoniques via la simulation des grandes échelles turbulentes. Des couches limites adiabatique et refroidie évoluant à Mach M∞ = 2 et à Reynolds Re0 ≈ 2600 sont considérées. Les simulations numériques utilisent un schéma split-centered d’ordre élevé pour la discrétisation des flux convectifs. Les résultats obtenus sont comparés aux simulations numériques directes (DNS) disponibles dans la littérature. Plusieurs modèles de sous-maille ont été testés et validés. Il a été montré que ces modèles exigent un minimum de raffinement de maillage afin de capturer les structures les plus énergétiques présentes en proche paroi. Les modèles montrent des performances différentes pour la distribution de la température à la paroi. Pour le cas d’une paroi refroidie, les fluctuations de température totale ne sont pas négligeables dans la région proche-paroi. Et l’anticorrélation (u’, T’) se basant sur l’hypothèse de Morkovin n’est pas satisfaite.
This work deals with spatially-evolving supersonic turbulent boundary layers over adiabatic and cold walls at M∞ = 2 and up to Re0 ≈ 2600 using 3 different SGS models. The numerical methodology is based on high-order split-centered scheme to discretize the convective fluxes of the Navier-Stokes equations . For the adiabatic case, it is demonstrated that all SGS models require a comparable minimum grid-refinement in order to capture accurately the near-wall-turbulence. Overall, the models exhibit correct behavior when predictiong the dynamic properties, but show different performances for the temperature distribution in the near-wall region. For the isothermal case, it is found that the compressibility effects are not enhanced due to the wall cooling. As expected, the total temperature fluctuations are not negligible in the near-wall region. The study shows that the anti-correlation linking both velocity and temperature fields, derived from the Morkovin's hypothesis, is not satisfied.

▼ This research focuses on the development of
wall
functions suitable for the prediction of high-speed compressible
flows.
Wall-functions avoid the need for prohibitively expensive
fine near-
wall meshes and low-Re models of turbulence which still
involve a certain amount of approximation. The conventional
log-law-based
wall functions, however, have limitations in even
incompressible cases, which are further compounded when applied to
high-speed compressible flows. The objective of this study is to
examine the performance of an advanced analytical
wall-function
treatment which has been successfully used in a range of
incompressible flows and explore how compressibility effects could
be accounted for in such approaches. The starting point was the
implementation of the analytical
wall function proposed by Craft et
al (2002) in OpenFoam and its subsequent use for the prediction of
the impinging shock interaction and compression corner cases up to
a Mach number of 3. The
wall pressure and skin friction results
obtained by the original version result in improvements over those
of the standard
wall function (log-law based) and are close to
those obtained by the low-Re number modelling for supersonic flows.
However, an unphysical behaviour is encountered when applying it to
higher Mach number cases. A compressible flow version of the
analytical
wall function is proposed which includes the following
modifications: a)inclusion of thermal dissipation terms in the
analytical equation for the energy variation over the near-
wall
cells, b) Variable molecular viscosity (due to temperature
variations) over the viscous sub-
layer, c) improved variation of
the convection terms in the near-
wall cell analytical equations.
The resultant model has been applied to the above flows up to Mach
numbers of 9 and comparisons drawn with experimental data and with
predictions from the log-law based
wall functions and from the
Low-Re Launder and Sharma model. The present results are
consistently closer to the data than those of other
wall functions
in some instances even better than those of the low-Re number.
Improvements are especially noticeable in the prediction of the
wall heat flux rates, where the log-law
wall function generally
predicts too low values in the shock interaction region, while the
low-Re model, predicts too high heat transfer rates in the highest
Mach number cases, as a result of overpredicting turbulence levels
where extremely rapid near-
wall temperature variations are
found.

▼ The presence of roughness on a surface
subject to high Reynolds number flows promotes the formation of a turbulent
boundary layer and the generation of a fluctuating pressure field imposed on the surface. While numerous studies have investigated the
wall pressure fluctuations over zero-pressure gradient smooth walls, few studies have examined the effects of surface roughness on the
wall pressure field. Additionally, due to the difficulties in obtaining high Reynolds number flows over fully rough surfaces in laboratory settings, an even fewer number of studies have investigated this phenomenon under flow conditions predicted to be fully free of transitional effects that would ensure similarity laws could be observed. This study presents the efforts to scale and describe the
wall pressure spectrum of a rough
wall, high Reynolds number turbulent
boundary layer free of transitional effects. Measurements were taken in the Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel for both smooth and rough walls. A deterministic roughness fetch composed of 3-mm hemispheres arranged in a 16.5-mm square array was used for the rough surface. Smooth and rough
wall flows were examined achieving Reynolds numbers up to Re
θ = 68700 and Re
θ = 80200 respectively, with the rough
wall flows reaching roughness based Reynolds numbers up to k
g+ = 507 with a simultaneous blockage ratio of δ/k
g = 76. A new roughness based inner variable scaling is proposed that provides a much more complete collapse of the rough
wall pressure spectra than previous scales had provided over a large range of Reynolds numbers and roughness configurations. This scaling implies the presence of two separate time scales associated with the near
wall turbulence structure generation. A clearly defined overlap region was observed for the rough
wall surface pressure spectra displaying a frequency dependence of Ï
-1.33, believed to be a function of the surface roughness configuration and its associated transport of turbulent energy. The rough
wall pressure spectra were shown to decay more rapidly, but based on the same function as what defined the smooth
wall decay.

▼ There have been very few studies investigating the rough
wall pressure spectra under fully rough flows, which are relevant to many common engineering applications operating within this regime. This investigation uses the Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel to perform experiments on a series of high Reynolds number zero pressure gradient turbulent
boundary layers formed over rough walls in an effort to better understand and characterize the behavior of the rough
wall pressure spectrum. The
boundary layers were fully rough, and the
boundary layer height remained sufficiently larger than the height of the roughness elements. Two rough surfaces were tested. One consisted of an array of 1-mm ordered hemispherical elements spaced 5.5-mm apart, and the other contained 3-mm hemispherical elements randomly spaced, but with the same element density as 1/3 of the 1-mm ordered roughness. The
wall pressure spectrum and its scaling were then studied in detail, and it was found that the rough
wall turbulent pressure spectrum at vehicle relevant conditions is defined by three scaling regions. One of which is a newly discovered high frequency scaling defined by viscosity, but controlled by the friction velocity adjusted to exclude the pressure drag on the roughness elements. Based on these three scaling regions an empirical model describing the
wall pressure spectra for hydraulically smooth, traditionally rough, and fully rough flows was explored. Two point
wall pressure fluctuations were also analyzed for each surface condition, and it was found that the roughness inhibits the convective velocities within the inner portions of the
boundary layer.

▼ Turbulent wall layers are a pervasive and influential feature in nature and engineering; common examples include the atmospheric and benthic layer, boundary layers developing on aerial, marine and terrestrial vehicles, and flows in piping networks. These flows are characterised by high Reynolds numbers and, more often than not, surface roughness that exerts a dynamical effect on the flow. The latter may result from manufacturing defects, erosion and/or deposition, including that of living organisms. In this thesis, rough-wall turbulent boundary layers are investigated experimentally across an unprecedented range of boundary layer and roughness parameters. The measurements presented herein were performed above a well-characterised sand grain roughness using four experimental techniques, including hot-wire anemometry and particle image velocimetry. A floating element drag balance was used to obtain accurate estimates of the wall drag and associated parameters. New and existing smooth-wall measurements using the same experimental arrangements have been obtained for comparative purposes.
Statistics and spectra of the streamwise velocity component reveal convincing support for Townsend's Reynolds number similarity hypothesis (The Structure of Turbulent Shear Flow, vol. 1, 1956, Cambridge University Press.) when the friction Reynolds number, delta+ > 14,000. Wall-similarity is also observed at much lower friction Reynolds numbers when the roughness Reynolds number is high (i.e. the flow is fully rough). Subtraction of smooth- and rough-wall streamwise velocity spectra at matched friction Reynolds number demonstrates that the differences between the near-wall inner-normalised energy of these flows occurs predominantly for scales on the order of the boundary layer thickness (typically, several hundred times the characteristic roughness height). This is most apparent when the flow is fully rough. To the author's knowledge, outer-region flow dependence on the roughness Reynolds number has not been previously identified.
At high roughness Reynolds number, wall-similarity is also observed for the spatial structure of the outer region. This is true over the three orders of magnitude of streamwise scales resolved by the present PIV measurements. Remarkably, spatial similarity between smooth- and rough-wall flows is even observed at wall-normal locations where large scale differences are apparent in the respective energy spectra. Particular attention is given to the spanwise vorticity structure in the outer region of rough-wall flows. This is motivated by suggestions from previous rough-wall studies that the structure of vortical events in the outer regions may be particularly susceptible to changes to the wall boundary condition. Our data suggest, however, that the present sand grain roughness does not influence outer-region vorticity structure at high roughness Reynolds numbers beyond Townsend's hypothesis. Issues with applying Taylor's frozen turbulence hypothesis (Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A, vol. 164,…

▼ Direct Numerical Simulations (DNSs) were conducted in a turbulent rough wall pipe with three-dimensional sinusoidal roughness using a conforming grid. The wealth of information provided by these simulations is used to gain a better understanding of rough wall turbulent flows from both a practical and fundamental point of view.
A comprehensive range of simulations were conducted where the wavelength and roughness semi-amplitude of the roughness elements are systematically investigated. Two roughness parameters were investigated, namely the average roughness height k_a+ and the effective slope ES. An empirical roughness function model was then developed based on these roughness parameters and is found to reasonably estimate the drag of a variety of rough surfaces even in the transitionally rough regime.
The shape, inclination angle of the turbulent structures and the dominant energetic length scales in the flow was found to be affected by ES. In addition, ES can have a dominant influence on the turbulent flow in the fully rough regime and dictate the degree to which outer-layer similarity is observed.
For all of the rough cases tested, Townsend's outer-layer similarity is observed when considering the mean and higher-order statistics. There is also good collapse in the contours of the streamwise premultiplied energy spectra of the rough cases with the smooth wall in the outer region of the flow. Despite the large blockage ratio of the largest roughness, good collapse is observed in the outer-layer due to the symmetry of an internal flow where the boundary layer thickness is fixed and the shape of the total stress profile is well-defined.
Finally, a rough wall turbulent flow is simulated in the minimal-span channel. This proof of concept shows that accurate and direct determination of drag is obtainable at a fraction of the computational resources required for a full-span channel.

▼ Summary: Surface pressure fluctuations developed by turbulent flow within a boundary layer is a major cause of flow noise from a body and an issue which reveals itself over a wide range of engineering applications. Modified boundary layers (MBLs) inspired by the down coat of an owl’s wing has shown to reduce the acoustic effects caused by flow noise. This thesis investigates the mechanisms that modified boundary layers can provide for reducing the surface pressure fluctuations in a boundary layer. This study analyzes various types of MBLs in a wall jet wind tunnel through computational fluid dynamics and numerical surface pressure spectrum predictions. A novel surface pressure fluctuation spectrum model is developed for use in a wall jet boundary layer and demonstrates high accuracy over a range of Reynolds numbers. Non-dimensional parameters which define the MBL’s geometry and flow environment were found to have a key role in optimizing the acoustic performance.

▼ Turbulent
boundary layers approximating those found on the NASA Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) thermal protection system during atmospheric reentry from the International Space Station have been studied by direct numerical simulation, with the ultimate goal of reducing aerothermodynamic heating prediction uncertainty. Simulations were performed using a new, well-verified, openly available Fourier/B-spline pseudospectral code called Suzerain equipped with a ``slow growth'' spatiotemporal homogenization approximation recently developed by Topalian et al. A first study aimed to reduce turbulence-driven heating prediction uncertainty by providing high-quality data suitable for calibrating Reynolds-averaged Navier – Stokes turbulence models to address the atypical
boundary layer characteristics found in such reentry problems. The two data sets generated were Ma[approximate symbol] 0.9 and 1.15 homogenized
boundary layers possessing Re[subscript theta, approximate symbol] 382 and 531, respectively. Edge-to-
wall temperature ratios, T[subscript e]/T[subscript w], were close to 4.15 and
wall blowing velocities, v[subscript w, superscript plus symbol]= v[subscript w]/u[subscript tau], were about 8 x 10-3 . The favorable pressure gradients had Pohlhausen parameters between 25 and 42. Skin frictions coefficients around 6 x10-3 and Nusselt numbers under 22 were observed. Near-
wall vorticity fluctuations show qualitatively different profiles than observed by Spalart (J. Fluid Mech. 187 (1988)) or Guarini et al. (J. Fluid Mech. 414 (2000)). Small or negative displacement effects are evident. Uncertainty estimates and Favre-averaged equation budgets are provided. A second study aimed to reduce transition-driven uncertainty by determining where on the thermal protection system surface the
boundary layer could sustain turbulence. Local
boundary layer conditions were extracted from a laminar flow solution over the MPCV which included the bow shock, aerothermochemistry, heat shield surface curvature, and ablation. That information, as a function of leeward distance from the stagnation point, was approximated by Re[subscript theta], Ma[subscript e], [mathematical equation], v[subscript w, superscript plus sign], and T[subscript e]/T[subscript w] along with perfect gas assumptions. Homogenized turbulent
boundary layers were initialized at those local conditions and evolved until either stationarity, implying the conditions could sustain turbulence, or relaminarization, implying the conditions could not. Fully turbulent fields relaminarized
subject to conditions 4.134 m and 3.199 m leeward of the stagnation point. However, different initial conditions produced long-lived fluctuations at leeward position 2.299 m. Locations more than 1.389 m leeward of the stagnation point are predicted to sustain turbulence in this scenario.

▼ Lake-effect snowstorms are often observed to form singleor, occasionally, doubleband structures that are either solitary or considerably larger than any additional lake-effect structures. These bands, classified in this study as dominant bands, commonly produce heavy, localized snowfall and extend significant distances inland, resulting in high societal impact. Hazards associated with these bands underscore the importance of understanding the inland structure of dominant bands and accurately forecasting their inland extent. Accordingly, the first focus of this dissertation is on elucidating those factors important to the inland penetration of Lake Ontario Lake-Long-Axis Parallel (LLAP) bands (LLAP bands are a subset of dominant bands and occur frequently over and downwind of Lake Ontario). Statistical relationships between the inland penetration of LLAP-band radar echoes and environmental variables are examined for 34 cases of LLAP bands observed during the Ontario Winter Lake-effect Systems (OWLeS) field campaign. This analysis reveals that inland penetration is strongly correlated with
boundary layer depth and with
cold air advection in the upper portion of the
boundary layer. The latter result suggests that
boundary-
layer destabilization produced by vertically-differential
cold air advection may be an inland power source for preexisting LLAP bands; this power production is quantified through atmospheric energetics. Statistical models for predicting inland penetration are also developed using stepwise regression. The most skillful of these models uses
boundary layer depth and temperature advection in the upper portion of the
boundary layer to explain 76% of the variance in observed inland penetration (when tested on independent data). The second focus of this work is on the inland structure of dominant bands and the interaction of these bands with environmental baroclinicity. Band structure is examined using WRF reanalyses with 3 km horizontal resolution and an innovative technique for assessing the most representative member from the WRF ensemble. Three reanalysis periods are examined, encompassing 185 total simulation hours; of these hours, dominant bands were detected during 155 hours. It is discovered that, within the reanalysis periods, synoptic-scale baroclinicity is common in both the east-west and north-south dimensions; the various sources of this baroclinicity are also discussed. Three simulation hours are then selected for in-depth case studies. These case studies reveal a wide range of interactions of dominant bands with synoptic-scale baroclinicity, which are discussed in detail. The case studies suggest that baroclinicity strongly influences the inland structure of dominant bands. Finally, the synthesis and implications of these results are discussed.

▼ Shock waves are a major source of drag in supersonic
flows as they affect the aero-thermodynamicperformance and impose
pressure and temperature loads on the structure under
consideration.The aim of this work is to address such multiphysics
phenomenon and mitigate the losses dueto shock waves in a series of
low to high aspect ratio rectangular supersonic nozzles with
sharpand smooth throats.3D steady RANS CFD is performed on a
baseline converging-diverging nozzle (exit aspectratio 2 and design
Mach number 1.5) with sharp throat and the results are validated
with theexperimental data. Turbulence model study shows that
k-omega SST compares better with theexperimental data. A shock wave
is present in the baseline nozzle due to the sharp throat. Inorder
to eliminate the sharp throat, a general-purpose curve generator -
Gencurve is developedand implemented using Python 3.5. Equivalent
smooth nozzle geometries are created usingthis tool. These show
improvements in various performance parameters such as
dischargecoefficients, thrust coefficients, etc., due to the
mitigated shocks and reduced
boundary layerthicknesses.The baseline
and the equivalent smooth nozzle geometries are further analyzed at
design(NPR 3.67) and off-design conditions using multi-physics
simulations, which are, for the firsttime, performed on rectangular
supersonic nozzles. This work highlights the significance
ofFluid-Thermal-Structural-Interaction (FTSI) simulations as a
diagnosis of existing designs (exitaspect ratio 2 with sharp
throat) and as a means of preliminary investigation to ensure
feasibilityof new designs before conducting experimental and field
tests. Structural deformation in thebaseline design is far less
than the
boundary layer thickness as the impact of Shock
BoundaryLayer Interactions (SBLI) is not as severe. FTSI
demonstrates that the discharge coefficient ofthe improved design
is 0.99 and its structural integrity remains intact at off-design
conditions.This proves the feasibility of the improved design.
Although the influence of FTSI is shownfor a nozzle, the approach
is general and essential in any product design cycle or as a
preludeto building prototypes.Investigating low (1, 2, 3) and high
(8, 12) aspect ratio nozzles with sharp throats is also afocus of
this work. Although the throat shocks are present in these
configurations, they becomeweaker and the shock cell size reduces
as the aspect ratio increases. Hence, the magnitudeof
wall shear
stress at the nozzle throat decreases. The
boundary layer thickness
on nozzleexit plane along the minor axis decreases as the aspect
ratio increases. This improves thedischarge coefficient due to the
less blockage offered by the
boundary layer. All jets spreadmore in
the minor axis than in the major axis and eventually become
circular a few diametersdownstream the nozzle exit. The velocity
decay in high aspect ratio nozzles is faster than inthe low aspect
ratio nozzles. An issue of modeling quarter section of the flow
domain usingsymmetry
boundary conditions is also
addressed.

▼ Le rayonnement joue un rôle important dans de nombreuses applications industrielles, en particulier celles mettant en jeu un processus de combustion. Cependant, son influence sur les écoulements turbulents, notamment les couches limites, n’est pas encore bien connu. L’objectif est ici d’analyser en détail l’effet du rayonnement sur les écoulements turbulents. Utilisant le modèle CK pour décrire les propriétés radiatives des gaz, une approche optimisée de la méthode de Monte-Carlo (OERM) basée sur l’émission et le principe de réciprocité est développée. La méthode OERM permet de contrôler localement l’imprécision des résultats tout en corrigeant l’inconvénient de la méthode originale en introduisant une nouvelle fonction de répartition des fréquences basée sur la température maximale du domaine. Plusieurs écoulements de canal plan turbulent sous différentes conditions de pression, de températures et d’émissivités de parois sont résolus par simulation numérique directe (DNS). Les simulations DNS de l’écoulement et du champ de rayonnement par la méthode OERM sont entièrement couplées. L’impact du rayonnement sur le champ moyen de température et ses fluctuations est analysé en détail. La modification du profil de température moyenne induit un changement des flux de chaleur conductifs aux parois et de nouvelles lois de paroi pour la température lorsque le rayonnement est pris en compte. L’impact sur les fluctuations de température et le flux de chaleur par transport turbulent est étudié au travers de leurs équations de transport respectives dont l’équilibre est modifié par le rayonnement. Une nouvelle normalisation (
wall-scaling) basée sur le bilan d’énergie est proposée pour améliorer le recouvrement des profils obtenus sous les différentes configurations étudiées avec et sans transfert radiatif. Cette normalisation permet d’introduire un modèle pour le nombre de Prandtl turbulent lorsque le rayonnement est pris en compte. Afin de prédire l’effet du rayonnement sur la zone proche paroi et sa modification des lois de paroi, un modèle de paroi pour la simulation aux grandes échelles (LES) est développé. Les équations 1D de couche limite turbulente à l’équilibre sont résolues sur une grille intégrée au maillage LES pour traiter la zone interne. La contrainte pariétale et le flux de chaleur conductif obtenus sont renvoyés au code LES. La puissance radiative dans l’équation d’énergie du modèle de paroi 1D est évaluée à partir d’un modèle analytique. Le modèle de paroi est validé par comparaison avec les résultats des calculs couplés DNS/Monte-Carlo. Deux critères sont finalement proposés et validés. Le premier a pour but de prédire l’importance du flux radiatif pariétal tandis que le second détermine si un modèle de paroi prenant en compte l’effet du rayonnement dans la zone interne de la couche limite est nécessaire. Une étude paramétrique est ensuite réalisée où un modèle κ-ϵ et un modèle de nombre de Prandtl turbulent sont utilisés pour estimer les champs moyens de vitesse et température d’écoulements de canal plan sous…

▼ Measurements were made on three forward steps with step height to
boundary layer ratio of approximately 3.8%, 15% and 60% and Reynolds number based on step height ranging from 6640 to 213,000. The measurements included mean
wall pressure, single and 2 point
wall pressure fluctuations, single and 2 point velocity fluctuations and, oil flow visualization. Pressure fluctuation measurements were made 5
boundary layer thicknesses upstream of step to 22
boundary layer thickness (or 600 step heights for smallest step size) downstream of the step. The results show that the steps remarkably enhance the
wall pressure fluctuations that scale on the step height in the vicinity of the step and far downstream of the step. The decay of
wall pressure fluctuations post reattachment is a slow process and elevated levels can be seen as far as 150 step heights downstream for the mid step size. The enhanced pressure fluctuations come from the unsteady reattachment region on top face of the step which was found to be a strong function of flow geometry and flow parameters such as Reynolds number. The 2 point pressure and velocity space-time correlations show a quasi-periodic structure which begins to develop close to the reattachment and grows in intensity and scale further downstream of reattachment and is responsible for the elevated pressure fluctuations downstream of the step. However, the velocity correlations lack in scale reflecting the fact that large scales reflected in pressure are masked by smaller scales that exist within them.

▼ The Trettel-Larsson (TL) transformation is extended to two dimensions using mass conservation and an interpretation of Morkovin's hypothesis. This extension reveals the previously unknown limitations of the TL transformation. The TL transformation only works in channel flows, in the inner layer of high Reynolds number boundary layers, and in boundary layers where the viscosity varies with the square root of the density. The error in the TL velocity transformation correlates with the second derivative of the transformed coordinate (the semi-local scaling). The second derivative of the transformed coordinate measures the amount that the transformed outer layer coordinate does not equal the untransformed outer layer coordinate. The extended TL theory now includes a streamwise coordinate transformation and production rate scalings. The limitations of the TL theory state that the analogy between compressible turbulent boundary layers and incompressible turbulent boundary layers is limited in theory but nonetheless useful in practice when possible.

▼ Large-eddy simulations were carried out to investigate the flow dynamics of wall jets over smooth and rough surfaces. Results were validated against data in the literature. A sand-grain roughness model is used, based on an immersed boundary method. To understand the extent to which the outer/inner layer modifies the inner/outer layer and the extent to which the effect of roughness spreads away from the wall, instantaneous and mean flow fields were investigated. For the Reynolds numbers and roughness heights considered in this study, the effect of roughness is mostly confined to the near-wall region in both plane and radial configurations. There is no structural difference between the outer layer over smooth and rough surfaces. Roughness does not affect either the size of the outer-layer structures or the scaling of the profiles of Reynolds stresses in the outer layer. However, in the inner layer, roughness redistributes stresses from streamwise to wall-normal and spanwise directions. Contours of joint probability-density function of the streamwise and wall-normal velocity fluctuations at the bottom of the logarithmic region match those of the turbulent boundary layer at the same height; traces of the outer-layer structures were detected at the top of the logarithmic region, indicating that they do not affect the flow very close to the wall, but still modify a major portion of the inner layer. Simulations of plane and radial wall-jets at several Re numbers were then investigated to, first, compare the plane and radial wall-jets and, second, to quantify the interaction of inner and outer layers. In both cases, the local Reynolds number is an important determining factor in characterization of the flow. The joint probability density function analysis shows that the local Reynolds number determines the level of intrusion of the outer layer into the inner layer. As the local Reynolds number increases, the thickness of the overlap layer becomes smaller, and the inner layer of the wall jet becomes more similar to the conventional turbulent boundary layer, i.e., the extent of the logarithmic region of the wall jets increases and its slope gets closer to the universal law of the wall.

▼ The flows in the lowest part of the urban
atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) are investigated in this
dissertation. The flow structure is characterised by the surface
morphology that has direct effect on the street-level ventilation.
Numerical study using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), wind
tunnel experiments and analytical derivation are performed to
examine the dynamics in the inner region of a neutral urban ABL.
In the first part of the dissertation, the flows over idealised
two-dimensional (2D) urban street canyons of different
building-height-to-street-width (aspect) ratios (ARs) and urban ABL
thickness are numerically investigated from a street canyon point
of view. The friction factor f and the air-exchange rate (ACH) are
used to parameterise the aerodynamic resistance and the
street-level ventilation performance over urban areas respectively.
It is found that atmospheric turbulence contributes most to
street-level ventilation because the turbulent component of ACH
(ACH’’) dominates the transport process (at least 70% of the total
ACH). Besides, the collective effect of AR and urban ABL thickness
on ACH is reflected by the f. A linear relation between ACH’’ and
the square root of friction factor (ACH’’ ∝ f^(1/2)) is revealed.
An empirical parameterisation is thus proposed by extrapolating
ACH’’ to predict the street-level ventilation efficiency.
In the
second part of the dissertation, focus is put on the urban ABL
adjacent to the urban surfaces (boundary-layer point of view). The
dynamics in the inner layer (roughness sublayer RSL and inertial
sublayer ISL) of the urban ABLs over either idealised or real
complex urban configurations are studied analytically and
experimentally. An analytical solution to the mean wind profile
which is a continuous function applicable to both RSL and ISL is
derived based on the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) to
account for the RSL effects over urban surfaces. The RSL function
is then coupled with the mixing-length model to elucidate how
surface roughness alters the RSL turbulence. A series of wind
tunnel experiments are performed to measure the turbulent boundary
layer structure over idealised surface (in the form of 2D rib-type
roughness elements) and real complex urban surfaces (an urban model
of Hong Kong) using hot-wire anemometry (HWA). The analytical
prediction agrees well with the experimental result that improves
the estimate to mean velocity profiles and turbulence length scales
in the near-ground region over urban areas.
Consolidating the
analytical and experimental results, it is confirmed that the inner
layer flows over urban areas exhibit two distinct behaviours: 1)
logarithmic properties in the ISL and 2) physical influence of
individual buildings on near-surface RSL flows are demonstrated in
which the RSL effects should be taken in account. Finally, an
improved ventilation estimate with RSL consideration is proposed
using a vertical fluctuating velocity scale 〈w ̂ 〉 which
facilitates a handy parameterisation for estimating street-level
air quality.…

▼ In this thesis, the benefits of
boundary layer control (BLC) in improving aerodynamic performance and engine stability were examined in a compact, serpentine inlet exhibiting flow separation. A 1/14-scale turbofan engine simulator provided the flow through the inlet. The inletâ s mass flow was measured to be 759 scfm (0.939 lbm/s) with an average throat Mach number of 0.23 when the simulator speed was 40 krpm.
Boundary layer suction, blowing, and their combination were used to minimize the inletâ s flow separation. The effectiveness of the suction alone and the blowing alone was shown to be approximately equivalent, and the effectiveness of the combined use of both was seen to be better than either one by itself. With blowing and suction flowrates around 1% of the simulatorâ s core flow, the inletâ s distortion was lowered by 40.5% (from 1.55% to 0.922%) while the pressure recovery was raised by 9.7% (from 87.2% to 95.6%). With its reduction in distortion, BLC was shown to allow the simulator to steadily operate in a range that would have otherwise been unstable. Minimizing the flow separation within the inlet was shown to directly relate to measurements from flush-mounted microphones along the inlet
wall: as the exit distortion decreased the microphone spectrum also decreased in magnitude. The strong relationship between the aerodynamic profiles and the microphone signal suggests that microphones may be used in an active flow control scheme, where the BLC effort can be tailored for different engine operating conditions. Unfortunately, the sensing scheme used in this experiment showed the microphone signal to continue to decrease even when the separation is overly compensated; therefore refinements must be made before it would be practical in a real application.

▼ Turbulent
Boundary Layers (TBL) are a significant source of vibration and noise for different types of structures. These structures may be excited by pressure fluctuations due to the turbulent flow induced by their motions. To reduce the noise radiated from these structures is important to understand how the structure reacts to the TBL excitation. Therefore, it is necessary to study the TBL under different pressure conditions. TBL exhibit random-like fluid motion, so is convenient to describe it in terms of
wall pressure spectrums.
The work performed during this internship at von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI), was integrated under the TUMULT project (TUrbulent flow noise Modelling for Under- and upper-body Load and Transmission analysis).
One of the objective of the internship was the investigation of the TBL under zero, favourable and adverse pressure gradients for two velocities, 15 and 25 m.s-1. For that purpose, experimental techniques, such as, hot wire anemometer and microphone antenna, were combined to generate a database allowing to validate and improve
wall pressure models accounting for Reynolds number and pressure gradient effects. These experiments had taken place at the “wind tunnel for aeroacoustics
boundary layer including pressure gradient effect” (WAABLIEF).
The characterization of the TBL was successfully accomplished using hot wire anemometer, and the
wall pressure spectrums for each condition were calculated applying
wall pressure models and using a microphone antenna for further validation. The models applied to characterize the
wall pressure spectrums were Goody and Rozenberg models. An uncertainty analysis was also performed for hot wire anemometer.
The PIV technique was applied in the framework of this internship, besides the objectives of the TUMULT project. In order to get experience about the application of this technique, a parametric study was successfully accomplished to find out the best configuration for the PIV measurements for the research work of the PhD student Gian Luca Gori and the research master student Simão Nóbrega from VKI.
Finally, in this report it is also included a literature review about the urban atmospheric
boundary layer. This section has the objective of demonstrate the type of application of the concepts and techniques learned during the internship to the field of environmental engineering.

▼ A turbulent flow overlying a permeable
wall can be subdivided into two distinct flow regions separated by a permeable interface. The first is the surface (or free) flow region, which overlies the interface. The second is the subsurface (or pore) flow region, which occurs within the permeable
wall. While the near-
wall surface flow can be turbulent, deep within the bed the subsurface flow is often laminar and can be described by Darcy's law (a balance of viscous and pressure forces). Thus, a region must exist between these two extremes where the flow undergoes a transition from inertia-dominated turbulence to viscous-dominated, laminar flow across the permeable interface. This region, typically termed the 'transitional
layer,' develops across the permeable interface where non-linear flow interactions between the free flow and the pore flow take place. Accessing this region either experimentally or computationally is extremely challenging, with the latter limited by direct physical of optical access near and within the bed.
The goal of this study was to explore the role of
wall permeability and surface topography in flow interactions across a permeable interface and the corresponding turbulent
boundary layer modifications in the surface flow region. The turbulent flow overlying impermeable and permeable walls with identical surface topography was explored experimentally using the particle-image velocimetry technique coupled with a unique refractive-index matching flow environment, whereby the latter provided full optical access to the flow in the vicinity of and within the permeable interface and the former allowed the acquisition of instantaneous velocity fields in this region with this optical access. Utilizing velocity statistics and conditional averaging, quantitative assessments were made for turbulent
boundary layer modifications imposed by permeability and topography as well as the role of these effects in the mutual interplay between the surface and subsurface flows. Surface topography is found to intensify these interactions across the transitional
layer, meaning that it enhances mass, momentum and energy transport between these two flow regimes. In addition, it was found that the larger scales of the surface-
layer flow modulate the smaller scales near the permeable interface and within the bed itself. This effect was previously identified in canonical turbulent
boundary layers (both smooth and rough), but the results presented herein highlight the enhancement of modulation effects owing to permeability. This physical linkage between the surface and subsurface flows across the transitional
layer could provide a new framework for modeling such effects based on this unique dynamic connection between the two flow regimes.

▼ The far field acoustics generated by turbulent flow over rough surfaces has been experimentally investigated in an acoustically treated
wall jet facility. The facility allows direct measurement of the far field sound from small patches of surface roughness, without contamination from edge or other aerodynamic noise sources. The facility is capable of generating turbulent
boundary layer flows with momentum thickness Reynolds numbers between 450 and 1160. The variation of surface conditions tested cover the range from hydrodynamically smooth surfaces through most of the transitional range, with h+ variations from 3 to 85. Single microphone narrow band acoustic spectra, measured in the far field, show sound levels as much as 15 dB above the background from 0.186 m2 roughness patches. The measurements revealed the spectral shape and level variations with flow velocity,
boundary layer thickness, and roughness size; providing the first data set large enough to assess the affects of many aerodynamic properties on the acoustic spectra. Increases in the size of grit type roughness produced significant increases in acoustic levels. Patches of hydrodynamically smooth roughness generated measurable acoustic levels, confirming that acoustic scattering is at least one of the physical mechanisms responsible for roughness noise. The shapes of the measured spectra show a strong dependence on the form of the surface roughness. The acoustic spectra generated by periodic two-dimensional surfaces have a much narrower louder peak than that generated by three-dimensional grit type roughness. Measurements also show the orientation of the two-dimensional surface significantly affects the acoustic levels and directivity.
The variation of sound levels with flow velocity and roughness size suggests the acoustic field is significantly affected by changes in the near
wall flow due to the presence of the roughness. Current models of noise generated by rough surfaces predict the general trends seen in measurements for flows over grit and two-dimensional roughness in the range of 20<h+<50. However, in cases with a low Reynolds number or large grit size, where the roughness is likely to significantly affect the hydrodynamic pressure field, the scattering models did not perform as well.

▼ Incombustibility is one important advantage of the sheet steel sheathed shear
wall over wood panel sheathed shear
wall. Compared to shear
wall sheathed with plywood and OSB panel, shear
wall sheathed with flat sheet steel behaved lower shear strength. Although shear
wall sheathed with corrugated sheet steel exhibited high nominal strength and high stiffness, the shear
wall usually behaved lower ductility resulting from brittle failure at the connection between the sheathing to frames. This research is aimed at developing modifications on the corrugated sheathing to improve the ductility of the shear
wall as well as derive practical response modification factor by establishing correct relationship between ductility factor ? and response modification factor R. Totally 21 monotonic and cyclic full-scale shear
wall tests were conducted during the winter break in 2012 by the author in NUCONSTEEL Materials Testing Laboratory in the University of North Texas. The research investigated nineteen 8 ft. × 4 ft. shear walls with 68 mil frames and 27 mil corrugation sheet steel in 11 configurations and two more shear walls sheathed with 6/17-in.OSB and 15/32-in. plywood respectively for comparison. The shear walls, which were in some special cutting arrangement patterns, performed better under lateral load conditions according to the behavior of ductility and shear strength and could be used as lateral system in construction.

▼ The present understanding of the structure and dynamics of turbulent
boundary layers on aerodynamically smooth walls has been clarified over the last decade or so. However, the dynamics of turbulent
boundary layers over rough surfaces is much less well known. Nevertheless, there are many industrial and environmental flow applications that require understanding of the mean velocity and turbulence in the immediate vicinity of the roughness elements. This thesis reports the effects of surface roughness on the flow characteristics in a turbulent
boundary layer. Both experimental and numerical investigations are used in the present study. For the experimental study, comprehensive data sets are obtained for two-dimensional zero pressure-gradient turbulent
boundary layers on a smooth surface and ten different rough surfaces created from sand paper, perforated sheet, and woven wire mesh. The physical size and geometry of the roughness elements and freestream velocity were chosen to encompass both transitionally rough and fully rough flow regimes. Three different probes, namely, Pitot probe, single hot-wire, and cross hot-film, were used to measure the velocity fields in the turbulent
boundary layer. A Pitot probe was used to measure the streamwise mean velocity, while the single hot-wire and cross hot-film probes were used to measure the fluctuating velocity components across the
boundary layer. The flow Reynolds number based on momentum thickness, , ranged from 3730 to 13,550. The data reported include mean velocity, streamwise and
wall-normal turbulence intensities, Reynolds shear stress, triple correlations, as well as skewness and flatness factors. Different scaling parameters were used to interpret and assess both the smooth- and rough-
wall data at different Reynolds numbers, for approximately the same freestream velocity. The appropriateness of the logarithmic law and power law proposed by George and Castillo (1997) to describe the mean velocity in the overlap region was also investigated. The present results were interpreted within the context of the Townsend’s
wall similarity hypothesis. Based on the mean velocity data, a novel correlation that relates the skin friction to the ratio of the displacement and
boundary layer thicknesses, which is valid for both smooth- and rough-
wall flows, was proposed. In addition, it was also found that the application of a “mixed outer scale” caused the velocity profile in the outer region to collapse onto the same curve, irrespective of Reynolds numbers and roughness conditions. The present results showed that there is a common region within the overlap region of the mean velocity profile where both the log law and power law are indistinguishable, irrespective of the surface conditions. For the power law formulation, functional relationships between the roughness shift, and the power law coefficient and exponent were developed for the transitionally rough flows. The present results also suggested that the effect of surface roughness on the turbulence field depends to some degree…
