流线型拖拽装置尾流区小直径柔性圆柱体的湍流边界层研究

This is an experimental study to evaluate the development of the boundary layer thickness, , and momentum thickness, , along long thin flexible cylinders (L/a=1.5*105 and 3.0*105 where /a>>1, a=radius). The experiments use conventional test methods in conjunction with Stereo Particle Image Velocimetry (SPIV) measurement techniques to evaluate the flow in the boundary region of a small diameter flexible cylinder towed in the high speed towing basin at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD). The flexible cylinders are approximately neutrally buoyant and have an initial length of 152 m and radii of 0.45 mm and 1.25 mm. The first objective for this experiment is to evaluate the streamwise development of wall shear stress (w) and momentum thickness () in axisymmetric turbulent boundary layers using drag measurements at 3.1, 5.2, 9.3 and 14.4 m/s for comparison to existing data. The second and primary objective for this experiment is to determine the streamwise development of the axisymmetric boundary layer flow and to evaluate relevant boundary layer parameters at 3.8, 7.7, 12.9 and 15.4 m/sec using SPIV images acquired over the entire length of the cylinders. Drag measurements reveal that the wall shear stress is large and that the momentum thickness grows slowly when compared to flat plate boundary layers. The velocity field data shows that the boundary flow remains turbulent over the entire length of the flexible cylinder and that the turbulent profile is different from that of flat plate boundary layers. 德国LaVision PIV/PLIF粒子成像测速场仪 Imager SX PIV相机 用于粒子成像测速(PIV)的荧光示踪粒子
