Laser-Doppler velocimetry and pressure measurements are presented of the local velocity and wall pressure distributions in a rotating two-pass square duct with staggered ribs placed on the leading and trailing walls at an angle of 45° to the main stream. The ribs were square in cross-section with the radii of rounds and fillets to rib height ratios of 0.33. The rib-height/duct-height ratio and the pitch/rib-height ratio were 0.136 and 10, respectively. The duct Reynolds number was 1×104 and rotation number Ro ranged from 0 to 0.2. Results are documented in terms of the evolutions of both main flow and cross-stream secondary flow, the distributions of the pressure coefficient, and the variation of friction factor with Ro. For CFD reference, the periodic fully developed flow condition is absent for the present length of the rotating passage roughened with staggered 45° ribs. In addition, the relationships between the regional averaged Nusselt number, transverse and convective mean velocity component, and turbulent kinetic energy are addressed. Using these relationships the general superiority of heat transfer enhancement of the staggered 45° ribs arrangement over the in-line one can be reasonably illustrated. Simple expressions are obtained to correlate the friction factor with Ro, which are lacking in the published literature for passages ribbed with staggered 45° ribs. The staggered 45° ribs are found to reduce the friction loss to about 88%±1% of the in-line 45° ribs for the rotating passage under the same operating conditions. The respective contributions of the angled ribs and passage rotation on the passage friction loss are identified.

Measurements are presented of the local velocity and wall static-pressure distributions by using laser-Doppler velocimeter and pressure transducers, respectively, in a rotating two-pass square duct with ribs placed on the leading and trailing walls at an angle of 45 deg to the main stream. The ribs were square in cross section and in a parallel mode of arrangement. The rib-height/duct-height ratio and the pitch/rib-height ratio were 0.136 and 10, respectively. The duct Reynolds number was 1×104 and rotation number Ro ranged from 0 to 0.2. Results are addressed in terms of the evolutions of both main flow and cross-stream secondary flow, the distributions of the pressure coefficient, and the variation of friction factor with Ro. In addition, the relationships between the regional averaged Nusselt number, transverse and convective mean velocity component, and turbulent kinetic energy are documented. Simple expressions are obtained to correlate friction factor with Ro, which are lacking in the published literature for ducts ribbed with 45- deg ribs. The 45-deg ribs are found to reduce the friction loss to 60% of the 90-deg ribs for rotating duct under the same operating conditions. For CFD reference, the fully developed flow condition is absent for the rotating ribbed duct investigated. The measured evolution of complex secondary flow vortices is believed to be a challenge to numerical simulations.

Transient thermochromic liquid crystal thermography, a laser-Doppler velocimeter, and pressure transducers have been used to measure the local heat transfer, velocity, and wall static-pressure distributions, respectively, in a rotating two-pass square duct with 90-deg ribs detached from the leading and trailing walls. The ribs were square in cross-section and their detached-distance/height ratio was 0.38. The rib-height/duct-height ratio and the pitch/rib-height ratio were 0.136 and 10, respectively. The duct Reynolds number was 1×104 and rotation number ranged from 0 to 0.2. Results are compared with attached rib cases in terms of regional averaged Nusselt number, transverse mean velocity component, pressure coefficient distributions and variation of friction factor with rotation number. The competition between convection effect of the wall jet and downwash effect of the rib-top separated shear layer on the heat transfer augmentation is addressed in detail. Discussion on local Nusselt number distribution, mean velocity components, and turbulent kinetic energy is included. Simple expressions are obtained to correlate friction factor with rotation number. Rib detachment is found to enhance heat transfer on the leading wall of the first outward pass and on the trailing wall of the second inward pass over as compared to the attached rib case. The trend is reversed on the other two walls. Nevertheless, detached ribs create more uniform heat transfer distributions on the leading and trailing walls than attached ribs.

Measurements of flow field, heat transfer coefficient, and wall static pressure distribution were made in a rotating two-pass square duct with detachment of 90° ribs from the first-pass leading wall and second-pass trailing wall as well as attachment of 90° ribs onto the other two opposite walls. Laser-Doppler velocimetry was used to measure the local flow velocity. The ribs were square in cross-section and their detached-distance/height ratio was 0.38. The rib-height/duct-height ratio and the pitch/rib-height ratio were 0.136 and 10, respectively. Duct Reynolds number was fixed at 1×104 and rotating number ranged from 0 to 0.2. Results are documented in terms of the main flow development, cross-stream secondary flow structure, the distributions of the pressure coefficient, the variation of friction factor with Ro, and passage averaged Nusselt number ratios under a constant flow rate and a constant pumping power condition. For CFD reference, the periodic fully developed rotating flow condition is attained after the 6th rib pair in the first pass. In addition, the relationships between the regional averaged Nusselt number, transverse and convective mean velocity component, and turbulent kinetic energy are addressed. Using these relationships the general superiority of heat transfer enhancement of the attached-detached 90° ribs arrangement over the attached-attached one and detached-detached one can be reasonably illustrated. Simple expressions are obtained to correlate the friction factor with Ro, which are lacking in the published literature. The respective contributions of the ribs and passage rotation on the passage friction loss are identified.

Friction Factors

Experimental results are presented, relating to friction factors and circumferential pressure distributions, for a plain cylindrical journal bearing with a central circumferential inlet groove. The length-diameter ratio of each journal bearing land was 0.25 and the clearance ratio was 0.0031. The friction factor results showed the existence of a distinct ‘transition regime’, characterized by a pronounced ‘hump’ in the friction factor-Reynolds number relationship. Pressure measurements recorded when operating in this transition regime revealed the inadequacy of many existing ‘turbulent’ theories for superlaminar lubrication. By using a short-bearing theory a good correlation of the pressure distribution results was obtained, in terms of a non-dimensional viscosity parameter, kz, which is dependent on both the eccentricity ratio and Reynolds number. The magnitude of kz in this regime was considerably higher than the corresponding value for laminar flow, and was similar to the magnitude predicted from a simple theory based on relating kz to the variation of measured friction factor with Reynolds number.

Discrete Ribs

Local heat/mass transfer and friction loss in a square duct roughened with various types of continuous and discrete rib tabulators are investigated. The combined effects of the gap flows of the discrete ribs and the secondary flows are examined for the purpose of the reduction of thermally weak regions and the promotion of the uniformity of heat/mass transfer distributions as well as the augmentation of average heat/mass transfer. The rib-to-rib pitch to the rib height ratio (p/e) of 8 and the rib angles of 90 and 60 deg are selected with e/Dh=0.08. The vortical structure of the secondary flows induced by the parallel angled arrays are quite distinct from that induced by the cross angled arrays. This distinction influences on heat/mass transfer and friction loss in all the tested cases. The gap flows of the discrete ribs reduce the strength of the secondary flows but promote local turbulence and flow mixing. As a result, the fairly uniform heat/mass transfer distributions are obtained with two row gaps.

AbstractThe present paper presents oil flow visualisations and pressure measurements over a hemisphere-cylinder body attached with a forward facing spike at Mach 6 and Reynolds number of 1·38 × 108at 0° and 5° angle-of-attack. The oil flow pictures depict the separation region in the vicinity of the spike on the hemisphere-cylinder body. The oil flow visualisations will help to locate the reattachment shock wave on the hemisphere-cylinder body and also understand the flow field behavior on the blunt-nosed spike configuration. The pressure measurements over the hemisphere-cylinder body depend on the shape and the length of the spike. The pressure distributions over the blunt-nosed body show significant influence of the angle-of-attack. The maximum pressure coefficient on the hemisphere-cylinder body is a function of the spike length, shape of the aerodisk and angle-of-attack. The windward and leeward sides pressure variations show dependence of the geometrical parameters of the spike and shape of the spike. The hemisphere and the flat-faced aerodisk cause considerable reduction of pressure leading to decrease of aerodynamic drag compared to the conical spike.
