Hydraulic and heat transfer processes play a very important role in the design and prototyping of aerospace technology. In most cases this technique works under non-isothermal conditions. Non-isothermal conditions may significantly affect heat transfer and hydrodynamic process. Fundamental research of Non-isothermal turbulent flow is required for further engineering modeling. Models for unsteady processes calculation must be based on fundamental turbulent structure research. Moscow Aviation Institute National Research University (MAI) has been building non-isothermal turbulent flow structures since 1989. An experimental facility was designed to provide gas flow heating. Experimental data of a turbulent gas flow structure in isothermal and non-isothermal conditions are presented. The frequency spectra of axial and radial velocity pulsations are based on experimental data received. The results of experimental turbulent flow research demonstrate fundamental non-isothermal processes influence on the flow structure. The main results of non-isothermal experimental research show that there are three specific zones in turbulent flow structure: wall area, maximal turbulent structure transformation and flow core. The analysis of non-isothermal conditions influence on turbulent pulsations generation and development mechanisms is presented. The results show significant distinction in turbulent flow spectra between isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The present paper describes a method of experimental research, methodology of data processing and non-isothermal turbulent flow spectra results.

Hydraulic and heat transfer processes play a very important role in the design and prototyping of aerospace technology. Unsteady conditions are the peculiarity of mostly aerospace systems. Flow acceleration and deceleration may significantly affect the heat transfer and hydrodynamic process in channels of aerospace systems.

An experimental facility was designed to provide gas flow acceleration and deceleration. Experimental data of a turbulent gas flow structure during flow acceleration and flow deceleration are presented. The frequency spectra of axial and radial velocity pulsations are based on experimental data. The results of experimental turbulent flow research demonstrate the fundamental hydrodynamic unsteadiness influence on the flow structure. The main results of the flow acceleration and deceleration experimental research show that there are tangible differences from the steady flow structure.

An experimental study is undertaken to investigate the flow structure and heat transfer in a stagnation flow Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) reactor at atmospheric pressure. It is critical to develop models that predict flow patterns in such a reactor to achieve uniform deposition across the substrate. Free convection can negatively affect the gas flow as cold inlet gas impinges on the heated substrate, leading to vortices and disturbances in the normal flow path. This experimental research will be used to understand the buoyancy-induced and momentum-driven flow structure encountered in an impinging jet CVD reactor. Investigations are conducted for various operating and design parameters. A modified stagnation flow reactor is built where the height between the inlet and substrate is reduced when compared to a prototypical stagnation flow reactor. By operating such a reactor at certain Reynolds and Grashof numbers it is feasible to sustain smooth and vortex free flow at atmospheric pressure. The modified stagnation flow reactor is compared to other stagnation flow geometries with either a varied inlet length or varied heights between the inlet and substrate. Comparisons are made to understand the impact of such geometric changes on the flow structure and the thermal boundary layer. In addition, heat transfer correlations are obtained for the substrate temperature. Overall, the results obtained provide guidelines for curbing the effects of buoyancy and for improving the flow field to obtain greater film uniformity when operating a stagnation flow CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure.

Abstract The review of numerical studies on supercritical pressure (SCP) coolants heat transfer and hydraulic resistance in turbulent flow in vertical round tubes based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and different models for turbulent viscosity is presented. The paper is the first part of the general analysis, the works based on using algebraic turbulence models of different complexity are considered in it. The main attention is paid to Petukhov-Medvetskaya and Popov et al. models. They were developed especially for simulating heat transfer in tubes of the coolants with significantly variable properties (droplet liquids, gases, SCP fluids) under heating and cooling conditions. These predictions were verified on the entire reliable experimental data base. It is shown that in the case of turbulent flow in vertical round tubes these models make it possible predicting heat transfer and hydraulic resistance characteristics of SCP flows that agree well with the existed reliable experimental data on normal and certain modes of deteriorated heat transfer, if significant influence of buoyancy and radical flow restructuring are absent. For the more complicated cases than a flow in round vertical tubes, as well as for the case of rather strong buoyancy effect, more sophisticated prediction techniques must be applied. The state-of-the-art of these methods and the problems of their application are considered in the Part II of the analysis.

A two-parameter variational method is introduced to calculate pressure drop and heat transfer for turbulent flow in ducts. The variational method leads to a Galerkin-type solution for the momentum and energy equations. The method uses the Prandtl mixing length theory to describe turbulent shear stress. The Van Driest model is compared with experimental data and incorporated in the numerical calculations. The computed velocity profiles, pressure drop, and heat transfer coefficient are compared with the experimental data of various investigators for fully developed turbulent flow in parallel plate ducts and pipes. This analysis leads to development of a Green’s function useful for solving a variety of conjugate heat transfer problems.
