Interactions between Free-surface, Free-stream Turbulence and Cavity Recirculation in Open Channel Flows: Measurements and Turbulence Manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
New experiments were conducted in a large stepped channel with a 22o slope operating at large Reynolds numbers. Interactions between free-surface and cavity recirculation were systematically investigated in the skimming flow regime. Turbulence manipulation was further conducted and identical experiments were performed with 4 configurations. Basic results demonstrated a strong influence of cavity vanes (longitudinal ribs) on the air-water flow properties in both free-stream and cavity flows. The air-water flow structure (bubble and droplet size distributions, clustering factor) was significantly affected by the presence of vanes, and greater spray production was observed with the vanes. Air-water velocity and turbulence distributions highlighted further a major impact of the vanes on the entire flow.

Interactions between cavity flow and main stream skimming flows: an experimental study
In the last two decades, research on the hydraulics of skimming flows down stepped chutes was driven by needs for better design guidelines. Skimming flows are characterized by significant momentum transfer from the main stream to the recirculation zones. Investigations are difficult because of the complex nature of the flow, the strong flow aeration, and the interactions between entrained air a...
متن کاملStudy of Parameters Affecting Separation Bubble Size in High Speed Flows using k-ω Turbulence Model
Shock waves generated at different parts of vehicle interact with the boundary layer over the surface at high Mach flows. The adverse pressure gradient across strong shock wave causes the flow to separate and peak loads are generated at separation and reattachment points. The size of separation bubble in the shock boundary layer interaction flows depends on various parameters. Reynolds-averaged...
متن کاملStepped spillways for embankment dams. Review, progress and development in overflow hydraulics
In recent years a number of embankments were designedwith concrete overtopping protection shaped in a stepped fashion. During large overflows on stepped chutes, there is no skin friction between mainstream and steps, and flow resistance is basically form drag. Alterations of flow recirculation and of fluid exchanges between free-stream and cavity flow are discussed in this study. A comprehensiv...

In the present study a Finite Difference Method has been developed to model the transient incompressible turbulent free surface fluid flow. A single fluid has been selected for modeling of mold filling and The SOLA VOF 3D technique was modified to increase the accuracy of simulation of filling phenomena for shape castings. For modeling the turbulence phenomena k-e standard model was used. In or...
متن کاملModelling high Reynolds number wall-turbulence interactions in laboratory experiments using large-scale free-stream turbulence.
A turbulent boundary layer subjected to free-stream turbulence is investigated in order to ascertain the scale interactions that dominate the near-wall region. The results are discussed in relation to a canonical high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer because previous studies have reported considerable similarities between these two flows. Measurements were acquired simultaneously from f...
