Unsteady Conditions

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. For unsteady process modeling, a fundamental research of unsteady hydrodynamic turbulent flow structure., Moscow Aviation Institute National Research University (MAI) has been building unsteady turbulent flow structures since 1989. 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. The analysis of unsteady conditions influence on the turbulent pulsations generation and development mechanisms is presented. The results show the unsteady conditions influence onto turbulent vortexes disintegration tempo. The present paper describes a method of experimental research, methodology of data processing and turbulent accelerated and decelerated flow spectra results.

Isothermal Conditions

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.

The Impact

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.

Straight Portion

Heat transfer and flow structure are described in a channel with a straight portion followed by a portion with mild curvature at Dean numbers from 100 to 1084. The channel aspect ratio is 40, radius ratio is 0.979, and the ratio of shear layer thickness to channel inner radius is 0.011. The data presented include flow visualizations, and spanwise-averaged Nusselt numbers. Also included are time-averaged turbulence structural data, time-averaged profiles of streamwise velocity, spectra of longitudinal velocity fluctuations, and a survey of the radial time-averaged vorticity component. Different flow events are observed including laminar two-dimensional flow, Dean vortex flow, wavy Dean vortex flow (in both undulating and twisting modes), splitting and merging of Dean vortex pairs, transitional flow with arrays of Dean vortex pairs, and fully turbulent flow with arrays of Dean vortex pairs. Transitional events generally first appear in the curved portion of the channel at Dean numbers less than 350 in the form of arrays of counterrotating Dean vortex pairs. At Dean numbers greater than 350, transitional events occur in the upstream straight portion of the channel but then continue to cause important variations in the downstream curved portion. The resulting Nusselt number variations with curvature, streamwise development, and Dean number are described as they are affected by these different laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow phenomena.
