Spatio-temporal dynamics of flow separation induced by a forward-facing step submerged in a thick turbulent boundary layer
2020
Overview
The effects of large-scale motion (LSM) on the spatio-temporal dynamics of separated shear layers induced by a forward-facing step submerged in a thick turbulent boundary layer (TBL) are investigated using a time-resolved particle image velocimetry. The Reynolds number based on the free-stream velocity and step height was 13 200. The oncoming TBL was developed over a cube-roughened surface and the thickness was 6.5 times the step height. The step height was chosen to coincide with the elevation where the dominant frequency of streamwise fluctuating velocity in the TBL occurred. At this elevation, the local turbulence intensity was 14.5 %. Distinct regions of elevated Reynolds stresses were observed upstream and downstream of the leading edge of the step. The unsteady dynamics of the separation bubbles upstream and downstream of the step was investigated using the reverse flow area. Both separation bubbles exhibit low-frequency flapping motion, and the dominant frequency of the downstream separation bubble is identical to the dominant frequency of the streamwise fluctuating velocity in the oncoming TBL at the step height. As the low-velocity region of LSM passes over the step, the downstream separation bubble is enlarged and subsequently undergoes a high-frequency oscillation. Turbulence motions were partitioned into low-, medium- and high-frequency regimes based on spectral analysis of the Reynolds stresses. The contributions from these partitioned turbulence motions are used to elucidate the effects of LSM on the elevated Reynolds stresses in the shear layers upstream and downstream of the step.
