Abstract

In hypersonic transitional flows, there are many complicated factors such as density fluctuation and temperature fluctuation due to the co-existence of the region slower than the speed of sound and the region faster than the speed of sound inside the boundary layer. Detailed investigations into the vortex dynamics occurring inside the boundary layers are expected. In this study, we aim to clarify the nonlinear vortex dynamics especially in the late-stage by conducting direct numerical simulations of laminar-turbulent transition in compressible boundary layers observed in hypersonic flows. Also, we develop a mathematical methodology to directly introduce vortices responsible for the late stage to the boundary layers, and its computational methods.

Reasons for using JSS2

For the investigation of boundary layer transition of hypersonic flows, numerical simulation is a central tool because measurement is difficult due to the existence of acoustical disturbance in a wind tunnel. Because boundary layer transition is susceptible to disturbance, and in addition transition is hard to occur due to strong compressibility, powerful supercomputers that enable high-accuracy large-scale computation are necessary to get results in a short time period.

Achievements of the Year

New results are obtained regarding vortical structures generated downstream of a protuberance placed in a boundary layer, and secondary hairpin vortices generated in a transitional boundary layer. Generally, vortices reproduced by DNS are visualized by the iso-surfaces of the second invariance of the velocity gradient tensor. A new algorithm to extract interior points enlosed by the iso-surfaces based the Euler angle was proposed, and also proposed a new method to express hairpin vortices by point clouds.
