Surface Roughness Effects in Low Reynolds Number Channel Flows (Preprint)
Rarefied helium and nitrogen flow expanding into vacuum through 150μm high and 1.5 cm long channels is studied experimentally and numerically with the DSMC method. Different types of channel walls are examined, both polished and rough with well characterized roughness shaped as triangles and rectangles. The pressure varies from 200 to 13,000 Pa, with the gas mean free path being both much large...
متن کاملFeather roughness reduces flow separation during low Reynolds number glides of swifts.
Swifts are aerodynamically sophisticated birds with a small arm and large hand wing that provides them with exquisite control over their glide performance. However, their hand wings have a seemingly unsophisticated surface roughness that is poised to disturb flow. This roughness of about 2% chord length is formed by the valleys and ridges of overlapping primary feathers with thick protruding ra...
متن کاملDependence of kB−1 factor on roughness Reynolds number for barley and pasture
One of the surface energy balance components, the sensible heat flux, can easily be described for modelling and remote sensing purposes by means of the thermal roughness length (zot). This roughness length is usually expressed relative to the roughness length for wind speed (zou): kB−1 = ln(zou/zot). In the past, the kB−1 factor has been taken as a constant having a value of ca. 2 in the case o...
متن کاملA High Reynolds Number Turbulent Boundary Layer with Regular ‘Braille-Type’ Roughness
A new high Reynolds number wind-tunnel facility at New Mexico State University (NMSU) was fitted with a roughened surface consisting of sheets of paper embossed by a Braille printer. The resulting roughness distribution was regular, three-dimensional and relatively sparse in the spanwise direction. Careful hot-wire studies show that the near-wall peak in turbulence intensity is reduced by the r...
متن کاملHigh–Reynolds Number Wall Turbulence
We review wall-bounded turbulent flows, particularly high–Reynolds number, zero–pressure gradient boundary layers, and fully developed pipe and channel flows. It is apparent that the approach to an asymptotically high– Reynolds number state is slow, but at a sufficiently high Reynolds number the log law remains a fundamental part of the mean flow description. With regard to the coherent motions...
