Low Shear

The wall-shear stress distribution in turbulent duct flow has been assessed using the micro-pillar shear-stress sensor MPS3. The spatial resolution of the sensor line is 10.8l+(viscous units) and the total field of view of 120l+along the spanwise direction allows to capture characteristic dimensions of the wall-shear stress distribution at sufficiently high resolution. The results show the coexistence of low-shear and high-shear regions representing ‘footprints’ of near-wall coherent structures. The regions of low shear resemble long meandering bands locally interrupted by areas of higher shear stress. Conditional averages of the flow field indicate the existence of nearly streamwise counter-rotating vortices aligned in the streamwise direction. The results further show periods of very strong spanwise wall-shear stress to be related to the occurrence of high streamwise shear regions and momentum transfer towards the wall. These events go along with a spanwise oscillation and a meandering of the low-shear regions.

Turbulent Duct Flow

Measurements of wall shear stress fluctuations have been made in a fully developed turbulent duct flow, using a surface heat transfer gauge. Measurements, made over a moderate Reynolds number range, include RMS values, probability density functions, spectra, and zero-crossing frequencies of the wall shear stress fluctuation. The ratio of RMS of the fluctuation to the mean value of the wall shear stress is found to be about 0.25. The zero-crossing frequency computed from the measured spectra using the relation derived by Rice for a Gaussian process is found to be a good approximation to the measured value, although the measured probability density function is not Gaussian. The zero crossing frequency and spectra of wall shear stress fluctuations appear to scale with outer variables for asymptotically large Reynolds numbers.
