The hydrodynamic forces on ocean vehicles increase dramatically during sharp maneuvers as compared to forward motion due to large areas of separated flow. These large forces severely limit maneuverability and reduce efficiency. Applying active flow separation control to ocean vehicles would reduce resistance during maneuvers and thereby improve maneuvering performance. In this thesis I discuss experiments in active separation control in a simpler, but still relevant, two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder at moderate sub-critical Reynolds numbers (37,000 and 52,000 in experiment and 100 and 10,000 in simulation). The active control injects momentum into the boundary layer via the moving surfaces of two small control cylinders located near boundary layer separation and rotated by servo motors. The relationship between drag and rotation rate is found to be Reynolds number regime dependent; at Re = 100 the drag decreases linearly with rotation rate and at Re = 10,000, the relationship is non-linear. This nonlinearity appears to be due to the interaction between vortex shedding from the small control cylinders (which does not occur at Re = 100) and the main cylinder wake. Computational two-dimensional viscous simulations are consistent with the physical experiment and help to illustrate the phenomenon. Finally, the power consumed by the active control mechanism is considered and estimated to be significantly smaller than the power savings in reduced drag.

Abstract:

An investigation of how different levels of turbulence modelling tackle the effects of system rotation has been performed. Ranging from simple one-equation models to large-eddy simulations, different approaches have been considered by means of a literature study and numerical calculations of turbulent flow over a backward-facing step subjected to spanwise rotation. The computed results were compared with results from direct numerical simulations.The literature study revealed that simple linear eddy-viscosity turbulence models are unable to predict any effects on the turbulence field due to system rotation. Eddy-viscosity models may be sensitised to rotation, but this has been done with a varying degree of success. The Reynolds stress equation models inherently respond well to system rotation, but a more costly eddy simulation will yield the most accurate result.Numerical calculations confirmed what was found in the literature. A linear eddy-viscosity model was unaffected by system rotation, while the sensitised model exhibited some effects on the mean flow field. The Reynolds stress model managed to predict all essential effects related to system rotation, although one separation bubble was oversized. This defect was attributed to a flaw in the modelling of the Reynolds stress redistribution process.

Abstract:

A three-dimensional, parallel, finite volume solver which uses Roe'
s upwind flux differencing scheme for spatial and Runge-Kutta explicit multistage time stepping scheme for temporal discretization on unstructured meshes is developed for the unsteady solution of external viscous flow around rotating bodies. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the aerodynamic dynamic stability derivative coefficients for rotating missile configurations. Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation is adapted to the solver for the simulation of the rotation of the body. Eigenvalues of the Euler equations in ALE form has been derived. Body rotation is simply performed by rotating the entire computational domain including the body of the projectile by means of rotation matrices. Spalart-Allmaras one-euqation turbulence model is implemented to the solver. The solver developed is first verified in 3-D for inviscid flow over two missile configurations. Then inviscid flow over a rotating missile is tested. Viscous flux computation algorithms and Spalarat-Allmaras turbulence model implementation are validated in 2-D by performing calculations for viscous flow over flat plate, NACA0012 airfoil and NLR 7301 airfoil with trailing edge flap. The ALE formulation is validated in 2-D on a rapidly pitching NACA0012 airfoil. Afterwards three-dimensional validation studies for viscous, laminar and turbulent flow calculations are performed on 3-D flat plate problem. At last, as a validation test case, unsteady laminar and turbulent viscous flow calculations over a spinning M910 projectile configuration are performed. Results are qualitatively in agreement with the analytical solutions, experimental measurements and previous studies for steady and unsteady flow calculations.

Abstract:

Tumbling mills are characterized by a flowing granular mixture comprising slurry, ore and grinding media. Akin to fluid flow, a rheological description underpinning granular flow has long been expected and pursued by many researchers. Unfortunately, no single theory has hitherto been able to successfully describe all the peculiar features and flow phases of granular systems. Tumbling mills exhibit a rich coexistence of all known flow phases and is arguably the most complicated of the granular flow geometries. Not surprisingly, current comminution models are almost entirely empirical with limited predictive capability beyond their window of design. Using Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) data we recover the key ingredients (velocity, shear rate, volume concentration, bed depth) for developing, testing and calibrating granular flow models. In this regard, 5 mm and 8 mm glass beads are rotated within a 476 mm diameter mill, fitted with angled lifter bars along the inner azimuthal walls and operated in batch mode across a range of drum rotation speeds that span cascading and cataracting Froude regimes. After averaging the PEPT outputs into representative volume elements, subsequent continuum analysis of the flowing layer revealed a rich coexistence of flow regimes - (i) quasi-static, (ii) dense (liquid-like), and (iii) inertial - that are consistent with the measured volume concentrations spanning these regimes in rotating drums. Appropriately matched constitutive choices for the shear stresses then facilitated the derivation of a new granular rheology that is able to (smoothly) capture all phases of the tumbling mill flow at transition points that match leading experimental findings reported in the literature. Limiting our models to athermal boundary conditions, we then derive the power density for better understanding of flow dissipation that ultimately drives the comminution purpose of tumbling mills. The rheology and power density models were then applied to the 5 mm and 8 mm glass bead data to reveal that shear power density is an order of magnitude larger than the normal component. Notwithstanding, the effective friction coefficient - which is akin to viscosity in typical fluids - remains relatively constant across most of the flowing layer with notable exponential growth across the interface from dense-to-inertial that continued into the inertial regime.

Abstract:

In this study we investigate the interactions between two co-rotating vortices. These vortices are subject to rapid rotation and stable stratification such as are found in planetary atmospheres and oceans. By conducting a large number of simulations of vortex interactions, we intend to provide an overview of the interactions that could occur in geophysical turbulence. We consider a wide parameter space covering the vortices height-to-width aspect-ratios, their volume ratios and the vertical offset between them. The vortices are initially separated in the horizontal so that they reside at an estimated margin of stability. The vortices are then allowed to evolve for a period of approximately 20 vortex revolutions. We find that the most commonly observed interaction under the quasi-geostrophic (QG) regime is partial-merger, where only part of the smaller vortex is incorporated into the larger, stronger vortex. On the other hand, a large number of filamentary and small scale structures are generated during the interaction. We find that, despite the proliferation of small-scale structures, the self-induced vortex energy exhibits a mean `inverse-cascade' to larger scale structures. Interestingly we observe a range of intermediate-scale structures that are preferentially sheared out during the interactions, leaving two vortex populations, one of large-scale vortices and one of small-scale vortices. We take a subset of the parameter space used for the QG study and perform simulations using a non-hydrostatic model. This system, free of the layer-wise two-dimensional constraints and geostrophic balance of the QG model, allows for the generation of inertia-gravity waves and ageostrophic advection. The study of the interactions between two co-rotating, non-hydrostatic vortices is performed over four different Rossby numbers, two positive and two negative, allowing for the comparison of cyclonic and anti-cyclonic interactions. It is found that a greater amount of wave-like activity is generated during the interactions in anticyclonic situations. We also see distinct qualitative differences between the interactions for cyclonic and anti-cyclonic regimes.

Abstract:

The rotating-disk boundary layer is not only a simpler model for the study of cross-flow instability than swept-wing boundary layers but also a useful simplification of many industrial-flow applications where rotating configurations are present. For the rotating disk, it has been suggested that a local absolute instability, leading to a global instability, is responsible for the small variation in the observed laminar-turbulent transition Reynolds number however the exact nature of the transition is still not fully understood. This thesis aims to clarify certain aspects of the transition process. Furthermore, the thesis considers the turbulent rotating-disk boundary layer, as an example of a class of three-dimensional turbulent boundary-layer flows. The rotating-disk boundary layer has been investigated in an experimental apparatus designed for low vibration levels and with a polished glass disk that gave a smooth surface. The apparatus provided a low-disturbance environment and velocity measurements of the azimuthal component were made with a single hot-wire probe. A new way to present data in the form of a probability density function (PDF) map of the azimuthal fluctuation velocity, which gives clear insights into the laminar-turbulent transition region, has been proposed. Measurements performed with various disk-edge conditions and edge Reynolds numbers showed that neither of these conditions a↵ect the transition process significantly, and the Reynolds number for the onset of transition was observed to be highly reproducible. Laminar-turbulent transition for a ‘clean’ disk was compared with that for a disk with roughness elements located upstream of the critical Reynolds number for absolute instability. This showed that, even with minute surface roughness elements, strong convectively unstable stationary disturbances were excited. In this case, breakdown of the flow occurred before reaching the absolutely unstable region, i.e. through a convectively unstable route. For the rough disk, the breakdown location was shown to depend on the amplitude of individual stationary vortices. In contrast, for the smooth (clean-disk) condition, the amplitude of the stationary vortices did not fix the breakdown location, which instead was fixed by a well-defined Reynolds number. Furthermore, for the clean-disk case, travelling disturbances have been observed at the onset of nonlinearity, and the associated disturbance profile is in good agreement with the eigenfunction of the critical absolute instability. Finally, the turbulent boundary layer on the rotating disk has been investigated. The azimuthal friction velocity was directly measured from the azimuthal velocity profile in the viscous sublayer and the velocity statistics, normalized by the inner scale, are presented. The characteristics of this three-dimensional turbulent boundary-layer flow have been compared with those for the two-dimensional flow over a flat plate and close to the wall they are found to be quite similar but with rather large differences in the outer region.

Abstract:

Rotating-disk flow has been investigated not only as a simple model of cross flow instability to compare with swept-wing flow but also for industrial flow applications with rotating configurations. However the exact nature of laminar-turbulent transi- tion on the rotating-disk flow is still major problem and further research is required for it to be fully understood, in particular, the laminar-turbulent transition process with absolute instability. In addition the studies of the rotating-disk turbulent boundary- layer flow are inadequate to understand the physics of three-dimensional turbulent boundary-layer flow. In present thesis, a rotating-rotating disk boundary-layer flow has been inves- tigated experimentally using hot-wire anemometry. A glass disk with a flat surface has been prepared to archieve low disturbance rotating-disk environment. Azimuthal velocity measurements using a hot-wire probe have been taken for various conditions. To get a better insight into the laminar-turbulent transition region, a new way to describe the process is proposed using the probability density function (PDF) map of azimuthal fluctuation velocity. The effect of the edge of the disk on the laminar-turbulent transition process has been investigated. The disturbance growth of azimuthal fluctuation velocity as a function of Reynolds number has a similar trend irrespective of the various edge conditions. The behaviour of secondary instability and turbulent breakdown has been in- vestigated. It has been found that the kinked azimuthal velocity associated with secondary instability just before turbulent breakdown became less apparent at a cer- tain wall normal heights. Furthermore the turbulent breakdown of the stationary mode seems not to be triggered by its amplitude, however, depend on the appearance of the travelling secondary instability. Finally, the turbulent boundary layer on a rotating disk has been investigated. An azimuthal friction velocity has been directly measured from the azimuthal velocity profile in the viscous sub-layer. The turbulent statistics normalized by the inner and outer sclaes are presented.

Abstract:

RESUME : Les machines axiales à rotors contrarotatifs subsoniques sont une bonne solution pour les industries où de fortes élévations de pressions et d'efficacités sont nécessaires sans augmenter le diamètre ou la vitesse de rotation des rotors. Néanmoins, le comportement des CRS et les paramètres impactant ses performances ne sont pas encore totalement compris. Cette thèse mène une investigation expérimentale sur la performance et les paramètres influents sur un étage contrarotatif. La technique de design et les méthodes de mesure sont repris sur une thèse précédente réalisée au laboratoire Dynfluid (Arts et métiers ParisTech). Trois étages contrarotatifs ont été fabriqués (JW1, JW2 et JW3) et testés sur le banc d'essai normalisé AERO2FANS. Ces machines ont été conçues pour avoir le même point de fonctionnement mais avec une répartition de charge différente. Les résultats expérimentaux se concentrent dans un premier temps sur JW1. Les grandeurs physiques regardées sont l'efficacité globale et l'élévation de pression statique pour juger de la performance globale de la machine. La fluctuation de pression pariétale et le champ de vitesse sont aussi mesurés. L'impact du changement de rapport de vitesse ou la distance entre les deux rotors sur la machine JW1 a été étudiée grâce aux grandeurs physiques décrits précédemment. Enfin dans une dernière partie, les trois machines sont comparées toujours grâce aux grandeurs physiques définies précédemment
ABSTRACT : The counter rotating subsonic axial flow fans could be a good solution for applications where the highly improved static pressure and efficiency are required without the increase of rotational speed and fan diameter. However, the mechanisms of high performance CRS and parameters influences are not well understood nowadays. This thesis is an experimental investigation of the performance and parameter studies of two counter rotatingaxial flow ducted fans. The design and measurement methods are based on the previous research work in Laboratory Dynfluid (Arts et Métiers ParisTech). Three Counter Rotating Stages (CRS) (named JW1, JW2 and JW3) are developed and tested on a normalized test bench (AERO2FANS). These systems have same design point and differ by the distribution of loading as well as the ratio of angular velocity between the Front Rotor (FR) and Rear Rotor (RR). The first part of results focus on the JW1. The overall performance is obtained by the experimental results of the static pressure rise and static efficiency, as well as the wall pressure fluctuations recorded by a microphone on the casing wall. The parameter study is conducted to investigate the effects of the axial distance and the ratio of angular velocity between the FR and RR on the global performance and flow fields measured by Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV).The last part of the work is devoted to analyze the differences of the three CRS with different distribution of work, in terms of the global performance and flow features

Abstract:

Gas turbine compressor performance may encounter deterioration during service for various reasons such as damage by debris from the casing or foreign objects impacting on the blades, typically near the rotor's tip. Moreover, mal-schedule of Variable Stator Vanes (VSVs) during start-up may also result in performance deterioration and reduction in the surge margin. Ability to assess the effect of compressor deterioration using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is important at both design stage and in service. Compressor blade damage breaks the cyclic symmetry and the VSVs mal-schecule creates mis-match between stages together with geometric variations, thus computations are desirable to be performed using full annulus assemblies. Furthermore, downstream boundary conditions are also unknown during rotating stall or surge and simulations become difficult. This research presents unsteady time-accurate CFD analyses of compressor performance with tip curl blade damage in a single stage axial flow compressor and VSVs mal-schedule in a 3.5 stage axial flow compressor. Computations were per- formed near stall boundary to predict rotating stall characteristics. The primary objectives are to characterise the overall compressor performance and analyse the detailed flow behaviour. Computations for the nominal blade configurations were also performed for comparison purposes for both compressors. All unsteady simulations were performed at part speeds with a variable nozzle downstream representing an experimental throttle. For the blade damage study, two different degrees of damage for one blade and multiple damaged blades were investigated and compared with the results from the undamaged case. For the VSVs mal-schedule study, the first two stators were assumed to be variable and were used to create mal-schedule vane settings for the investigation. The effects of blade damage and VSVs mal-schedule on the aerodynamics performance and rotating stall characteristics for both compressor assemblies were investigated respectively and discussed in detail.

Full text

Abstract:

Calculation of the blade tip clearances of the high-pressure-compressor rotors in aeroengines involves calculating the radial growth of the corotating compressor discs. This requires the calculation of the thermal growth of the discs, which in turn requires a knowledge of the disc temperatures and Nusselt numbers for the buoyancy-induced flow in the cavity between the discs. This is a strongly conjugate problem in which the equations for the fluid flow and the disc temperature are coupled. In this thesis, the buoyancy-induced flow and heat transfer inside the compressor rotors is modelled assuming laminar Ekman-layer flow on the discs and compressible flow in the fluid core between the Ekman layers; conduction in the discs is modelled using a one-dimensional fin equation. The theoretical predictions are compared with Nusselt numbers and temperatures obtained from two independent sets of temperature measurements, obtained on a multi-cavity compressor rig, and the ‘experimental’ Nusselt numbers were calculated using a Bayesian model for the inverse solution of the fin equation. For most of the experimental cases, with Grashof numbers up to 1012, mainly good agreement was achieved between the theoretical predictions and experimental values of the disc temperatures and Nusselt numbers. As predicted by the model, increasing the rotational Reynolds number can, under certain conditions, cause a decrease in the Nusselt numbers. Importantly, the results suggest that laminar Ekman-layer flow could occur even at the high Grashof numbers found in the compressor rotors of aeroengines. An extension of the buoyancy model included empirical correlations for the Nusselt numbers for the compressor shroud and disc cobs. This extended model was used to predict the temperature rise of the axial throughflow of cooling air in the compressor rotor, and reasonable agreement was achieved between the predicted and measured throughflow temperatures. This is the first time a theoretical model (rather than CFD) has been used to predict the temperatures of a compressor disc and the axial throughflow, and the model takes only seconds to predict the temperatures that would take days or even weeks to predict using CFD. Some suggestions are made for future research to improve the extent and accuracy of the model.

This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.
The purpose of this research is to provide data from ferrofluid flow and torque measurements in uniform and nonuniform rotating magnetic fields that can be compared to theoretical analyses in order to fully understand observed paradoxical ferrofluid behavior. In the presence of rotating magnetic fields, ferrofluid particles will rotate to try to align their magnetic moment with the field but because of the fluid viscosity, magnetization M will lag behind the rotating H field, thereby resulting in a body torque on the ferrofluid. The viscous torque from this fluid flow is measured using a Couette viscometer as a function of magnetic field amplitude, frequency, and direction of rotation. The first three sets of experiments measure this torque on the outer wall of a Lexan spindle that is attached to a viscometer, functioning as a torque meter. The spindle is immersed in a beaker of ferrofluid centered inside a 2-pole or 4-pole motor stator winding, creating uniform or nonuniform rotating magnetic fields, respectively. The spindle rotates at a constant speed up to 100 rpm or is stationary in these measurements. Anomalous behaviors such as zero and negative magnetoviscosity are demonstrated and discussed. The next set of experiments measure the magnetic torque on the inner wall of a hollow spindle attached to the torque meter and filled completely with ferrofluid so that there is no free surface. The spindle is centered inside the motor stator windings and exposed to clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) rotating magnetic fields. The last set of experiments measures the surface spin rate of a small floating plastic ball placed on the ferrofluid surface at a fixed location as a function of magnetic field parameters and radial position on the surface. When the rotating magnetic fields induce ferrofluid flows, the ball spins in the opposite direction to magnetic field rotation and this spin rate is determined using frame-by-frame video analysis.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with discovering the effect of a distributed roughness on the boundary-layer stability of a rotating disk. The investigation uses both a local, linear stability analysis and machined aluminium disks rotating in water in conjunction with a hot-film anemometer system. The stability analysis applies a sinusoidal function to the surface of the disk which mimics anisotropic roughness similar to a grooved record. The new surface is used with the governing equations in order to calculate the new mean flow profiles for the now grooved surface at a variety of roughnesses. These new flow profiles are then used in the stability analysis. The results show that the roughness has the effect of increasing the stability of the cross-flow instability mechanism by decreasing the velocity of the radial wall jet. Conversely, increasing roughness levels cause the growth of the streamlinecurvature instability mechanism, something which is probably caused by a thickening of the boundary-layer seen in the velocity profiles. These two outcomes result in a predicted switch of the dominant instability mechanism on the disk. The experimental arrangement confirms the results of the mean velocity profiles, and appears to show the appearance of the enlarged streamline-curvature instability at higher roughness levels. This instability appears as a small burst of frequencies at low Reynolds numbers centred on the numerically predicted neutral curve lobe. This burst dies down as it moves downstream, but appears to increase the amount of energy in the flow which hastens the onset of the cross-flow instability earlier than predicted. Before the emergence of this other mode at lower roughness levels, the roughness appears to delay the onset of the spiral vortices by pushing back the location of the initial cross-flow instability. The experimental results also see a decrease in the number of spiral vortices seen around the circumference of the disk as roughness is increased. This result is thought to be due to the decrease in the growth rate of the cross-flow instability rather than any switch in the neutral curve positions.

Abstract:

Motivated by applications in tissue engineering, this thesis is concerned with the flow through and around a free-moving porous tissue construct (TC) within a high-aspect-ratio vessel (HARV) bioreactor. We formalise and extend various results for flow within a Hele-Shaw cell containing a porous obstacle. We also consider the impact of the flow on related nutrient transport problems. The HARV bioreactor is a cylinder with circular cross-section which rotates about its axis at a constant rate, and is filled with a nutrient-rich culture medium. The porous TC is modelled as a rigid porous cylinder with circular cross-section and is fully saturated with the fluid. We formulate the flow problem for a porous TC (governed by Darcy's equations) within a HARV bioreactor (governed by the Navier-Stokes equations). We couple the two regions via appropriate interfacial conditions which are derived by consideration of the intricate boundary-layer structure close to the TC surface. By exploiting various small parameters, we simplify the system of equations by performing an asymptotic analysis, and investigate the resulting system for the flow due to a prescribed TC motion. The motion of the TC is determined by analysis of the force and torque acting upon it, and the resulting equations of motion (which are coupled to the flow) are investigated. The short-time TC behaviour is periodic, but we are able to study the long-time drift from this periodic solution by considering the effect of inertia using a multiple-scale analysis. We find that, contrary to received wisdom, inertia affects TC drift on a similar timescale to tissue growth. Finally, we consider the advection of nutrient through the bioreactor and TC, and investigate the problem of nutrient advection-diffusion for a simplified model involving nutrient uptake.

Abstract:

The present thesis studies the stability of a rotating cylindrical shell containing a co-rotating axial viscous flow. The system can be thought of as a long thin-walled pipe carrying an internal axial flow while the whole is in a frame of reference rotating at a prescribed rate. The equations of the previously solved inviscid model are rederived and the problem is studied further. The results obtained for purely axial flow are reproduced, but as expected from literature, it is impossible to obtain satisfactory results for the system subjected to rotation due to the presence of singularities in the flow pressure solution. A hypothetical physical explanation for these singularities is put forward and has similarities with the phenomenon of atmospheric flow blocking.
Considering the unsuccessful results obtained with the inviscid theory, it is believed that the added realism brought in by the introduction of viscosity in the theory can lead to a successful model. Assuming a travelling-wave perturbation scheme, the linear Donnell-Mushtari thin shell equations are coupled with the fluid stresses obtained by solving numerically the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation for a laminar or turbulent flow. A novel triple-perturbation approach is established to consider the interaction between the fluid and the structure. This triple-perturbation approach is in essence a superposition of three fluid fields caused by the three components of the shell deformation for a given oscillation mode. It is found that the usual technique for linear aeroelasticity studies consisting of applying the fluid boundary conditions at the undeformed position of the wall instead of the instantaneous deformed position greatly alters the stability of the system. To remedy to this problem, three different corrections are applied and tested on the carefully derived model. The dynamics of the system subjected to purely axial flow with no rotation is successfully studied with the viscous model for both laminar and turbulent flow conditions. Because no experimental or previous theoretical data is available, it is impossible to validate the results obtained in the laminar regime. For the turbulent regime, as the Reynolds number is increased, the results tend more and more towards those obtained with the inviscid theory.
The results obtained for small rates of rotation show that both in the laminar and in the turbulent regime, the system tends to be stabilised when subjected to a small rate of rotation. On the other hand, this tendency should be reversed for higher rates of rotation, but it is impossible to show this due to the limitations of the root-finding method employed.

Abstract:

A novel rotating jet spouted bed (RJSB) is developed and tested. It consists of a rotating air distributor with two radially located spouting air nozzles. The effects of bed height, distributor rotational speed, nozzle diameter and particle properties on the flow characteristics were examined. Various flow regimes were mapped as functions of distributor rotational speed and superficial air velocity for different materials and column dimensions. Empirical correlations were developed for the minimum spouting velocity, peak pressure drop and steady spouting pressure drop.
Drying kinetics of corn as a test material was investigated using both continuous and intermittent (on/off) spouting/heating schemes. The parameters investigated include inlet air temperature, bed height, superficial air velocity, nozzle diameter, distributor rotational speed and intermittency of spouting and heat input. The results indicate that the drying kinetics are comparable with conventional spouted and fluidized beds for slow drying materials and that intermittent drying can save up to 40% of the thermal energy consumption.
A fully predictive diffusion-based mathematical model was developed and validated for both continuous and intermittent drying in the RJSB. Several other time-dependent spouting/heating schemes were evaluated numerically in the light of their potential practical applications.

Abstract:

Numerical investigations of flow past a partially rotating, circular cross-section, stepped cylinder in uniform flow at varying velocity ratios, diameter ratios and Reynolds Numbers are performed. The resulting flow fields are analyzed visually for the effect of rotation on the wake and numerically for the effect on lift/drag forces as well as vortex shedding rates. Simulations are run where either the large or small-diameter cylinder was rotating while the other cylinder was held stationary. Simulations were performed with end plates to minimize end effects. Results show with increasing the velocity ratio when the large cylinder rotates, vortex shedding is suppressed across the entire wake span. Comparatively, an increase in velocity ratio for the small-diameter cylinder during rotation results in increased wake activity and a larger drag force.

A ferrofluid is a collection of nanoscale ferromagnetic particles with a stabilizing surfactant in a liquid to form a colloid. The dynamic behavior of ferrofluids in the presence of magnetic fields has long been an area of research interest. A particular area of interest deals with the "spin-up" mechanisms of ferrofluids, which describe how a container of ferrofluid comes to a steady state of bulk flow when subjected to a uniform rotating external magnetic field. There are two prevailing theories that attempt to explain the spin-up mechanisms of ferrofluids: spin diffusion theory, and the presence of non-uniformities in the magnetic field, due to "demagnetizing factors" introduced by the shape of the container. This research attempts to confirm previous measurements indicating that non-uniformities in the magnetic field are the primary cause of ferrofluid bulk flow. Partial spheres and cylindrical containers of different volumes -- and thus different demagnetizing factors -- were filled with Ferrotec EFH1 oil-based ferrofluid and subjected to an external uniform rotating magnetic field for various parameters of rotation direction and magnetic field. Ferrofluid bulk flow was measured using ultrasound velocimetry, and the magnitudes and shapes of the velocity profiles were compared. Despite the complicated flows observed within the containers, enough of a trend was established to safely conclude that demagnetizing factors are often the primary cause of ferrofluid bulk flow.

An investigation of magnetic fluid experiments and analysis is presented in three parts: a study of magnetic field induced torques in magnetorheological fluids, a characterization and quantitative measurement of properties relating to the transition of a ferrofluid drop from a continuous phase into a discrete phase and also into a spiral flow, and a study of magnetic field induced ferrofluid flow reversals. The torque exerted on a spindle filled with magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid) and placed inside a uniform rotating magnetic field is measured with varying rotating magnetic field amplitude and frequency, total fluid volume, and MR fluid volume ratio. When compared to similar ferrofluid torque measurements where the torque increased with rotating magnetic field frequency, the torque frequency dependence of the MR fluid decreases with increasing magnetic field frequency. A simple analysis determines the dependence of the magnetic body torque on particle size to describe the different behavior between the ferrofluid and MR fluid. When a fluorocarbon based ferrofluid is contained between two glass plates separated by a small gap (Hele-Shaw cell) and excited by an applied uniform rotating magnetic field first and then a DC axial magnetic field, a phase like transition occurs that transforms the ferrofluid drop from a continuous phase to a discrete phase. Considering the dominant energy in the configuration to be contributed from the magnetostatic energy of the DC magnetic field and interfacial surface energy, a calculus of minimization of free energy is performed to determine the number of smaller ferrofluid drops that will result from the transition and the threshold axial magnetic field for the transition to occur.
(cont.) When the order of the applied magnetic fields is reversed, the DC axial magnetic field is applied first causing the ferrofluid droplet to form the labyrinth instability. The rotating magnetic field is then applied creating a spiral formation. Experiments are conducted for varying Hele-Shaw cell separation gap, and rotating magnetic field amplitude and frequency. Measurements were consistent with our model. A cylindrical vessel is filled with a water-based ferrofluid and excited by a uniform rotating magnetic field that induces a counter-rotating circular flow in the vessel. A DC axial magnetic field is slowly raised to change the curvature of the fluid surface and results in a change in the ferrofluid flow direction to co-rotating with the applied magnetic field. Measurements are taken of the threshold axial magnetic field that results in the change of flow direction for varying rotating magnetic field direction, amplitude, and frequency. An analysis is included that describes the change in flow direction due to surface curvature.

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the instabilities of the incompressible boundary-layer flow thatis induced by a disk rotating in otherwise still fluid. The results presented include bothwork in the linear and nonlinear regime and are derived from direct numerical sim-ulations (DNS). Comparisons are made both to theoretical and experimental resultsproviding new insights into the transition route to turbulence. The simulation codeNek5000 has been chosen for the DNS using a spectral-element method (SEM) witha high-order discretization, and the results were obtained through large-scale paral-lel simulations. The known similarity solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for therotating-disk flow, also called the von K ́arm ́an rotating-disk flow, is reproduced by theDNS. With the addition of modelled small simulated roughnesses on the disk surface,convective instabilities appear and data from the linear region in the DNS are anal-ysed and compared with experimental and theoretical data, all corresponding verywell. A theoretical analysis is also presented using a local linear-stability approach,where two stability solvers have been developed based on earlier work. Furthermore,the impulse response of the rotating-disk boundary layer is investigated using DNS.The local response is known to be absolutely unstable and the global response, onthe contrary, is stable if the edge of the disk is assumed to be at radius infinity. Herecomparisons with a finite domain using various boundary conditions give a globalbehaviour that can be both linearly stable and unstable, however always nonlinearlyunstable. The global frequency of the flow is found to be determined by the Rey-nolds number at the confinement of the domain, either by the edge (linear case) or bythe turbulence appearance (nonlinear case). Moreover, secondary instabilities on topof the convective instabilities induced by roughness elements were investigated andfound to be globally unstable. This behaviour agrees well with the experimental flowand acts at a smaller radial distance than the primary global instability. The sharpline corresponding to transition to turbulence seen in experiments of the rotating diskcan thus be explained by the secondary global instability. Finally, turbulence datawere compared with experiments and investigated thoroughly.

Abstract:

Numerical investigations of flow past rotating circular cylinders with and without wires wrapped on the surface of the cylinder were studied using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The flow characteristics such as flow separation, shedding of the primary and secondary vortices, and drag coefficients were investigated. The software STAR CCM+ from Siemens PLM was used in all investigations. Three-dimensional Unsteady Reynolds Average Navier Stokes (URANS) equations were utilized. The free stream mean velocity was constant at 10 m/sec, which corresponded to an approximate Reynolds number based on cylinder’s diameter of 32,000. The results are presented for cylinders with and without wires at varying rotation rates α of 0, 0.5, and 1. This is represented by α, the ratio of the tangential velocity at the cylinder to that of the free stream velocity of the flow. As the rotation rate increased from 0 to 1, the drag coefficient for the smooth rotating cylinder reduced, while the drag coefficient for the wire-wrapped cylinder increased. The wire-wrapped cylinder produced significantly higher lift when compared with the corresponding value for the smooth cylinder. Increasing the rotation rate increases the lift and lift to drag ratio.

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the instabilities of the incompressible boundary-layer flow that is induced by a disk rotating in otherwise still fluid. The results presented are mostly limited to linear instabilities derived from direct numerical simulations (DNS) but with the objective that further work will focus on the nonlinear regime, providing greater insights into the transition route to turbulence. The numerical code Nek5000 has been chosen for the DNS using a spectral-element method in an effort to reduce spurious effects from low-order discretizations. Large-scale parallel simulations have been used to obtain the present results. The known similarity solution of the Navier–Stokes equation for the rotating-disk flow, also called the von Karman flow, is investigated and can be reproduced with good accuracy by the DNS. With the addition of small roughnesses on the disk surface, convective instabilities appear and data from the DNS are analysed and compared with experimental and theoretical data. A theoretical analysis is also presented using a local linear-stability approach, where two stability solvers have been developedbased on earlier work. A good correspondence between DNS and theory is found and the DNS results are found to explain well the behaviour of the experimental boundary layer within the range of Reynolds numbers for small amplitude (linear) disturbances. The comparison between the DNS and experimental results, presented for the first time here, shows that the DNS allows (for large azimuthal domains) a range of unstable azimuthal wavenumbers β to exist simultaneously with the dominantβ varying, which is not accounted for in local theory, where β is usually fixed for each Reynolds number at which the stability analysis is applied. Furthermore, the linear impulse response of the rotating-disk boundary layer is investigated using DNS. The local response is known to be absolutely unstable. The global response is found to be stable if the edge of the disk is assumed to be at infinity, and unstable if the domain is finite and the edge of the domain is placed such that there is a large enough pocket region for the absolute instability to develop. The global frequency of the flow is found to be determined by the edge Reynolds number.

Abstract:

This work studies the effects of radial flow on the aerodynamic phenomena occurring on a retreating blade with a focus on dynamic stall and reverse flow as applied to both a helicopter rotor in forward flight and a wind turbine operating at a yaw angle. While great progress has been made in understanding the phenomenon of two-dimensional dynamic stall, the effect of rotation on the dynamic stall event is not well understood. Experiments were conducted on a rigid two bladed teetering rotor at high advance ratios in a low speed wind tunnel. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were used to quantify the flow field at several azimuthal angles on the rotating blade during the dynamic stall event. The effect of centrifugal forces induced ``pure'' radial velocity on the dynamic stall event at 270 degrees azimuth was studied in detail. Further investigation of the radial flow field suggested that the mean radial velocity attenuated on moving outboard due to an apparent shear layer instability and it was demonstrated to be of first order importance in the flow field. These radial flow results prompted an exploration of the flow over a rotating disk to establish similarities of the radial flow over rotating blade in separated flow to that over a rotating disk in separated flow. While a greater part of this work focused on aspects of dynamic stall on the retreating blade, the final parts focus on the exotic flow regime of reverse flow (characterized by flow from the trailing edge to the leading edge of the blade). Aerodynamic loads measurement and surface flow visualization via tufts are used to first quantify the behavior of a static yawed blade in reverse flow. PIV measurements are then used on a static yawed blade and a rotating blade in reverse flow conditions to ascertain the effects of rotation on reverse flow.

Abstract:

The main focus of this thesis is turbulent flow between a rotating and a stationary disk. The extension of the disks is assumed to be large enough to prevent the outer boundary conditions to influence the flow of the region of interest. This flow is driven by the shear between the disks, but an imbalance between centrifugal and pressure forces in the radial direction induce a radial cross-flow. The result is a complex three-dimensional flow where the direction of the mean flow varies with the axial position. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) and large eddy simulations (LES) have been used to investigate the flow. The simulations utilized a special set of quasi-periodic boundary conditions which allowed the use of a computational domain which captured only a section of the flow.
