This work deals with the documentation and control of flow separation that occurs over turbine blades in the low-pressure turbine stage at low Reynolds numbers that exist at high altitude cruise. We utilize a specially constructed linear cascade that is designed to study the flow field over a generic LPT cascade consisting of Pratt & Whitney 'Pak B' shaped blades. This facility was constructed under a previous one-year NASA Glenn RC initiative. The center blade in the cascade is instrumented to measure the surface pressure coefficient distribution. Optical access allows two-component LDV measurement for boundary layer profiles. Experimental conditions have been chosen to give a range of chord Reynolds numbers from 10 to 100K, and a range of free-stream turbulence levels from u'/U(sub infinity)= 0.08 to 3 percent. The surface pressure measurements were used to define a region of separation and reattachment that depend on the free-stream conditions. The location of separation was found to be relatively insensitive to the experimental conditions. However, reattachment location was very sensitive to the turbulence level and Reynolds number. Excellent agreement was found between the measured pressure distributions and predictions from Euler and RANS simulations. Two-component LDV measurements are presently underway to document the mean and fluctuating velocity components in the boundary layer over the center blade for the range of experimental conditions. The fabrication of the plasma actuator is underway. These are designed to produce either streamwise vortices, or a downstream-directed wall jet. A precursor experiment for the former approach was performed with an array of vortex generators placed just upstream of the separation line. These led to reattachment except for the lowest Reynolds number. Progress has also been made on the proposed concept for a laterally moving wake. This involved constructing a smaller wind tunnel and molding an array of symmetric airfoi

Abstract: The flow through the exhaust nozzle of a jet engine has been of crucial importance in aerospace applications over the past several decades. A variety of modifications can be made to the nozzles of high-speed jet engines to increase or decrease mixing between the exiting flow and the ambient air; including adding tabs, chevrons, or actuators. Localized arc filament plasma actuators (LAFPAs) developed in the Gas Dynamics and Turbulence Laboratory at The Ohio State University have both high amplitude and bandwidth and are suitable for active control of high-speed, high Reynolds number flows. LAFPAs were used to control a supersonic jet from an axisymmetric nozzle of design Mach number of 1.3 operating from overexpanded to underexpanded flow regimes with the fully expanded jet Mach number (MJ) from 1.1 to 1.5 in order to explore their characteristics and their potential for mixing enhancement between the jet and the ambient air. The Reynolds number based on the 2.54 cm nozzle exit diameter was from 1.0x106 to 1.4x106. Laser based planar flow visualizations, schlieren imaging, and particle image velocimetry measurements were used to evaluate the effects of control. Results show the effects of forcing frequency and other parameters on the development of large-scale structures within the flow. Eight actuators, distributed azimuthally approximately 1 mm upstream of the nozzle exit, were used to force various azimuthal modes over a large Strouhal number range (StDF of 0.07 to 2.68). The preliminary results in underexpanded jets (MJ = 1.4 and 1.5) were quite similar to results in the ideally expanded jet (MJ = 1.3) previously obtained in similar studies at GDTL. The ideally expanded jet responded to the forcing over the entire range of frequencies, but the response was optimum (in terms of development of large coherent structures and mixing enhancement) around the jet preferred Strouhal number of 0.34 (fF = 5 kHz). Similarly, the optimum response was found at a jet preferred Strouhal number of 0.27 (fF = 4 kHz) for the slightly underexpanded jet (MJ = 1.4) and 0.34 (fF = 5 kHz) for the strongly underexpanded jet (MJ = 1.5). The jet also responded to forcing with various azimuthal modes (m=0 to 3 and m= ± 1, ±2, ±4). Forcing the jet with the azimuthal mode m= ±1 at the jet preferred mode frequency provided the maximum mixing enhancement in the visualized plane. Conversely, the preliminary results showed that the overexpanded jets (MJ = 1.1 and 1.2) did not respond at all or the response was relatively small. Subsequent surface pressure measurements with an extension without actuators revealed significant pressure increases near the nozzle exit for the strongly overexpanded MJ = 1.1 case, suggesting the existence of flow separation. Flow separation would cause the flow to pass over actuator location, thus nullifying the effect of control.

A twin-jet consists of two jet engines that are close enough to one another on an aircraft for the plumes to interact and merge downstream of the nozzle exit. This interaction can cause the noise generated by twin jets to be louder than an equivalent single jet under certain operating conditions. The noise of all jets is a health concern for communities near airports and personnel on aircraft carrier decks, but twin jets are of particular concern due to their increased noise levels. Additionally, the coupling of twin jets can cause strong near field pressure fluctuations that have the potential to damage airframes of military aircraft through sonic fatigue as occurred on both the F-15 and the B-1A during their development. Previous research into twin jets has studied a variety of twin-jet nozzle configurations. This study focuses on round converging-diverging nozzles with a center-to-center spacing of 2.0 nozzle diameters---close to that found in military aircraft. Localized arc filament plasma actuators (LAFPAs) are perturbation-based flow control devices that excite jet instabilities with small energy input and alter their characteristics. They have been used to control the noise generated by single jets. These actuators can alter the dominant mode (the shape of the large-scale turbulent structures) present in the jet plume by creating small thermal perturbations near the nozzle exit. LAFPAs were applied to test their efficacy at altering the dominant mode and as a diagnostic tool to study the behavior of the different modes in the twin-jet. Regardless of the naturally dominant mode in the twin-jet at a given operating condition, the LAFPAs can change the mode present to match the excited mode. This includes eliminating the strong coupling at modes and conditions where it normally occurs. Far field and near field acoustic measurements show that when the flapping mode is dominant in the twin-jet, the resulting coupling causes higher noise and near field pressure fluctuations than other modes. Axisymmetric and helical modes synchronize the large-scale turbulent structures so that they are generated simultaneously, but do not amplify one another to create the higher noise and pressure fluctuations of the flapping mode. The identities of these modes were confirmed using phase-averaged schlieren imaging which reveals the shape of the different modes in the twin-jet, both naturally occurring and excited using LAFPAs Both schlieren images and screech tone frequencies were captured for a twin-jet at elevated temperatures. These images revealed that the flapping mode disappears in the twin-jet as the temperature increases and is replaced by the helical mode. A theoretical model in the literature designed to predict the screech tone frequency in single jets was applied to the twin-jet. This model accurately predicted the tones present in the twin-jet and was able to predict a shift from one frequency to another when a mode shifts from the flapping mode to the helical mode due to increased jet temperature. The screech tones of the twin-jet closely match the feedback loop of the single jet.

"The primary objective of the study presented in this thesis was to analyze the effectiveness of aerodynamic plasma actuators as a means of active flow control over a low speed airfoil at multiple angles of attack each corresponding to two different flow separation mechanisms (i.e., laminar separation bubble and turbulent flow separation at stall conditions). Detailed parametric studies based on steady and unsteady Navier-Stokes simulations, modified to include the body force term created by the plasma actuator, were performed for a NACA 0012 airfoil at a chord Reynolds number of 105. In particular, parametric studies were performed to investigate the influence of the number, the location, the imposed body force magnitude (power input) and steady vs. unsteady operation of plasma actuators on the flow control effectiveness. First, the effectiveness of plasma actuators was studied when applied to the airfoil at a relatively low angle of attack, which involved the development of a laminar separation bubble (LSB). Next, the effectiveness of plasma actuators was analyzed at a high angle of attack where the stall of the airfoil occurs with a fully turbulent flow assumption. The results show that plasma actuators can provide significant improvement in aerodynamic performance for the flow conditions considered in this study. For LSB control, as much as a 50% improvement in the lift to drag ratio was observed. Results also show that the same improvement can be achieved using an unsteady or multiple actuators, which can require as much as 75% less power compared to a single, steady actuator. For the stalled airfoil case, as much as a 700% improvement in L/D was observed from a single, steady actuator. Note that this was achieved using a power input eight times higher than what was used for LSB control. Also, unsteady and multiple actuator configurations do not provide the same enhancement as the single, steady actuators. This was found to be due to the nature of the turbulent separation (trailing edge separation) at the stall condition that occurs for the selected airfoil and Reynolds number"--Abstract, leaf iii.

This thesis details the aerodynamic testing of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator operating over a separation step created at the trailing edge of a modified NACA 0012 aerofoil. The work focuses specifically on the use of pulsed or interrupted plasma actuation as opposed to continuously driven actuation, to increase the change in the lift produced by activating the system. The behaviour of the actuation system is characterised in a lamina flow regime at a Reynolds number of 1.33 x 105 using force balance measurements. At zero incidence the actuator produced a peak change in CL of approximately 0.015. However, this result is sensitive to changes in the interruption frequency of the plasma, by changing the plasma drive waveform the system was able to produce both positive and negative changes in lift. A relationship was identified between the change in CL produced and the ratio of the plasma interruption frequency to the natural vortex shedding frequency. This effect was investigated using both time averaged particle image velocimetry (PIV) and instantaneous phase locked PIV images captured in sequence throughout the plasma interruption cycle. The phase locked images showed how variation in the pulsation frequency was able to produce bi-directional actuation by either constructively or destructively interfering with the vortex formation from the back of the separation step. This interference in turn altered the level of separation which was occurring, altering the degree of upwash in the wake and therefore the lift generated by the aerofoil. PIV images were also gathered for device operation at a Reynolds number of 2.3 x 104; this produced a much higher ratio of DBD jet energy to that of the freestream. These conditions showed modified actuator behaviour due to the increased authority over the flow. However, the data still showed a strong interdependence on the reinforcement or destruction of the vortex street by the actuator interruption. Furthermore, work was undertaken to develop an actuator topology based on thin metallised films along with a dielectric which was hardened against the chemical and electrical stresses present in a functioning DBD device. The failure mechanisms of metallised film actuators were investigated, and actuators with lifetimes exceeding 8 hours were demonstrated. A manufacture method for a silicon polymer (PDMS) - Kapton® laminate is detailed; this is shown to be highly resistant to both electrical breakdown and chemical attack by the oxygen plasma.

The field of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and hybrids is a vibrant research area. This book runs through all the potential unsteady modelling fidelity ranges, from low-order to LES. The latter is probably the highest fidelity for practical aerospace systems modelling. Cutting edge new frontiers are defined. One example of a pressing environmental concern is noise. For the accurate prediction of this, unsteady modelling is needed. Hence computational aeroacoustics is explored. It is also emerging that there is a critical need for coupled simulations. Hence, this area is also considered and the tensions of utilizing such simulations with the already expensive LES. This work has relevance to the general field of CFD and LES and to a wide variety of non-aerospace aerodynamic systems (e.g. cars, submarines, ships, electronics, buildings). Topics treated include unsteady flow techniques; LES and hybrids; general numerical methods; computational aeroacoustics; computational aeroelasticity; coupled simulations and turbulence and its modelling (LES, RANS, transition, VLES, URANS). The volume concludes by pointing forward to future horizons and in particular the industrial use of LES. The writing style is accessible and useful to both academics and industrial practitioners. From the reviews: "Tucker's volume provides a very welcome, concise discussion of current capabilities for simulating and modellng unsteady aerodynamic flows. It covers the various pos sible numerical techniques in good, clear detail and presents a very wide range of practical applications; beautifully illustrated in many cases.
