Near-wall pressure fluctuations in turbulent flows are of considerable interest in many engineering applications. We shall concentrate on a number of specific questions related to the resolution of components of wall pressure spectra. Our emphasis shall be on outstanding problems of experiment and theory and their relationship to one another. A study on pressure fluctuations transducer’s interaction with wall vibration resulting from near-wall turbulent flows has been performed. Piezoelectric pressure transducer generates the signal also on vibration influence. Algorithm of assign of turbulent surface pressure in conditions of flow-induced-vibration is suggested. An active method of vibration control has been developed.

The present study focuses on the analysis of the flow-induced vibration phenomenon typically encountered on piping systems containing an elbow. The correlation between the turbulent flow through the elbow and the dynamic forcing it yields on the piping walls was assessed experimentally. A closed water loop containing a transparent elbow was designed in order to develop fully turbulent duct flow condition. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was applied in the transparent zone in order to provide unsteady data on the flow dynamics through the elbow; simultaneously, wall pressure fluctuations were measured on and around the elbow. Several flow configurations were tested in order to obtain a large coupled database linking the flow features to the resulting dynamic excitation on the walls. Finally, Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) was applied in order to harvest the correlated information contained in multiple pressure signals at multiple time-delays and build a relationship capable of estimating the temporal evolution of the velocity field using a set of measured wall pressure signals.

The progress made with the control of turbulence in a boundary layer developing over a small axisymmetric body in saltwater at moderate Reynolds numbers is briefly described. A resonance-interference mechanism of control by means of a small periodic Lorenz force confined to the near-wall region, designed to overcome the issue of low efficiency of electromagnetic turbulence control in general, is attempted to alter surface normal turbulence near-wall. At a low momentum thickness Reynolds number of 2300, drag is reduced by 15–25% at a freestream speed of 5.12 m/s with an efficiency of 2–3.4%. Bi-polar pulsing succeeds in lowering surface-normal turbulence intensity near wall. It also makes wall pressure fluctuations less spiky. Positive uni-polar pulsing is found to weaken the sources of wall-pressure fluctuations residing in the logarithmic region of the boundary layer. Further confirmatory work is needed with robust electrodes and drag measurements on a large diameter axisymmetric body.

The Impact

The effects of a turbulent, bubbly boundary layer on wall skin friction have been investigated in numerous previous studies. However, the impact of such a multiphase flow on fluid-structure interactions has not been studied. To this end, the present project examines experimentally the effect of a bubbly boundary layer on the vibration of a vertical plate. Using a combination of accelerometers and pressure transducers, we simultaneously measure the plate vibrations and wall pressure fluctuations for varying flow rates, gas void fractions, and characteristic bubble sizes. The results show that the presence of bubbles substantially increases both the plate vibrations and the wall pressure fluctuations. The vibrations increase by up to 20 dB compared to the same flow without bubbles. The spectra of vibrations become broad and vary significantly with the characteristic bubble size. The variations with bubble size are consistent with the resonant frequency of the bubbles, indicating that, in addition to changing the compressibility of the medium, individual bubbles act at sources.

AbstractThe space–time characteristics of a compliant wall in a turbulent channel flow are investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS). The compliant wall is modelled as a homogeneous plane supported by spring-and-damper arrays and is passively driven by wall-pressure fluctuations. The frequency/wavenumber spectra and convection velocities of the wall-pressure fluctuations, wall displacement and wall velocity are obtained from the present simulation. As the spring, damping, and tension coefficients decrease, the wall becomes softer and the wall displacement and velocity fluctuations increase. For a relatively stiff compliant wall (i.e. large spring, damping and streamwise tension coefficients), there are few changes in the skin-friction drag and near-wall turbulence structures. However, when a compliant wall is soft (i.e. small spring, damping and streamwise tension coefficients), the wall moves in the form of a large-amplitude quasi-two-dimensional wave travelling in the downstream direction. This wave is generated by the resonance of the wall property and the near-wall flow is significantly activated by this wall motion. The power spectra of wall variables show distinct peaks near the resonance frequencies. The convection velocities of the wall motion and wall-pressure fluctuations become smaller with a softer wall.
