Poor selection of the leading-edge profile hampers effectiveness of the experiment and increases testing costs associated with interchanging of leading edges to attain accurate results. Thus, the appropriate selection of the leading edge is a very crucial part of the wind tunnel experiment process. It is argued that the curvature of the leading edge and thus the AR is of paramount importance to achieve accurate results from the wind tunnel testing. In this project, seven different elliptical leading edges were tested, and their performance was compared with an ideal leading edge with zero thickness. Experiments and computation have been done for leading edges ranging from AR6 to AR20. Results were evaluated for boundary layer transition onset location, and it was found that AR20 has the least influence on the flow structure when compared to the ideal leading edge. A study of the flow structure at the stagnation point indicates an increase in adverse pressure gradient with an increase in the AR but also shows a decrease in the size of the stagnation region. The presence of a higher AR leading edge reduces the turbulent spot production rate, which is one of the primary causes of boundary layer transition. This paper presents a correlation that enables aerodynamicists to quantify the impact of the leading-edge AR on transition. A typical case is also presented to compare the relative performance of a wedge and the higher AR leading edge, which provides a choice between an elliptical or a wedge-shaped leading edge.展开更多

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
文摘作为一种新兴的体三维粒子图像测速技术,光场单相机三维粒子图像测速技术(Single-Camera LightField Particle Image Velocimetry,LF-PIV)能够仅用单个相机获得三维速度场,其结果已在许多复杂三维流动测量中得到验证。LF-PIV的优势主要在于其紧凑简便的硬件设备以及对光学窗口较宽松的要求。应用LF-PIV技术对一个自相似的逆压湍流边界层(Adverse Pressure Gradient Turbulent Boundary Layer,APG-TBL)进行测量,该实验在澳大利亚莫纳什大学(Monash University)航空航天与燃烧湍流研究实验室(Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerospace and Combustion,LTRAC)水洞中完成。实验对远、近壁面测量所得到的各600组瞬态三维流场数据进行分析验证,并与相同工况下的2D-PIV实验结果对比,证明基于DRT-MART重构技术的LF-PIV能够进行基本的湍流边界层测量。
