    Large Eddy Simulations and modal reconstruction of laminar transonic buffet

    Full text link
    Transonic buffet refers to the self-sustained periodic motion of shock waves observed in transonic flows over wings and limits the flight envelope of aircraft. Based on the boundary layer characteristics at the shock foot, buffet has been classified as laminar or turbulent and the mechanisms underlying the two have been proposed to be different (Dandois et al., 2018, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 18, pp. 156-178). The effect of various flow parameters (freestream Mach and Reynolds numbers and sweep and incidence angles) on laminar transonic buffet on an infinite wing (Dassault Aviation's supercritical V2C aerofoil) is reported here by performing Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) for a wide range of parameters. A spectral proper orthogonal decomposition identified the presence of a low-frequency mode associated with buffet and high-frequency wake modes related to vortex shedding. A flow reconstruction based only on the former shows periodic boundary-layer separation and reattachment accompanying shock wave motion. A modal reconstruction based only on the wake mode suggests that the separation bubble breathing phenomenon reported by Dandois et al. is due to this mode. Together, these results indicate that the physical mechanisms governing laminar and turbulent buffet are the same. Buffet was also simulated at zero incidence. Shock waves appear on both aerofoil surfaces and oscillate out of phase with each other indicating the occurrence of a Type I buffet (Giannelis et al., 2018, Aerosp. Sci. Technol., vol. 18, pp. 89-101) on a supercritical aerofoil. These results suggest that the mechanisms underlying different buffet types are the same.Comment: 40 pages, 31 figures, submitted to Journal of Fluid Mechanic

    Connecting transonic buffet with incompressible low-frequency oscillations on aerofoils

    No full text
    Self-sustained, low-frequency, coherent flow unsteadiness over rigid, stationary aerofoils in the transonic regime is referred to as transonic buffet. This study examines the role of shock waves in sustaining this transonic phenomenon and its relation to low-frequency oscillations that occur in flow over aerofoils in the incompressible regime (Zaman et al., 1989, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 202, pp. 403–442). This is investigated by performing large-eddy simulations of the flow over a NACA0012 profile for a wide range of flow conditions under free-transition conditions. At low Reynolds numbers, zero incidence angle and sufficiently high freestream Mach numbers

    Transonic buffet characteristics under conditions of free and forced transition

    No full text
    Transonic buffet is commonly associated with self-sustained flow unsteadiness involving shockwave/boundary-layer interaction over aerofoils and wings. The phenomenon has been classified as either laminar or turbulent based on the state of the boundary layer immediately upstream of the shock foot and distinct mechanisms for the two types have been suggested. The turbulent case is known to be associated with a global linear instability. Herein, large-eddy simulations are used for the first time to make direct comparisons of the two types by examining free and forced-transition conditions. Corresponding simulations based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations for the forced-transition case are also performed for comparison with the scale-resolving approach and for linking the findings with existing literature. Coherent flow features are scrutinised using both data-based spectral proper orthogonal decomposition of the time-marched results and operator-based global linear stability and resolvent analyses within the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes framework. It is demonstrated that the essential dynamic features remain the same for the two buffet types (and for the two levels of the aerodynamic modelling hierarchy), suggesting that both types arise due to the same fundamental mechanism

    On the co-existence of transonic buffet and separation-bubble modes for the OALT25 laminar-flow wing section

    Full text link
    Transonic buffet is an unsteady flow phenomenon that limits the safe flight envelope of modern aircraft. Scale-resolving simulations with span-periodic boundary conditions are capable of providing new insights into its flow physics. The present contribution shows the co-existence of multiple modes of flow unsteadiness over an unswept laminar-flow wing section, appearing in the following order of increasing frequency: (a) a low-frequency transonic buffet mode, (b) an intermediate-frequency separation bubble mode, and (c) high-frequency wake modes associated with vortex shedding. Simulations are run over a range of Reynolds and Mach numbers to connect the lower frequency modes from moderate to high Reynolds numbers and from pre-buffet to established buffet conditions. The intermediate frequency mode is found to be more sensitive to Reynolds-number effects compared to those of Mach number, which is the opposite trend to that observed for transonic buffet. Spectral proper orthogonal decomposition is used to extract the spatial structure of the modes. The buffet mode involves coherent oscillations of the suction-side shock structure, consistent with previous studies including global mode analysis. The laminar separation-bubble mode at intermediate frequency is fundamentally different, with a phase relationship between separation and reattachment that does not correspond to a simple `breathing' mode and is not at the same Strouhal number observed for shock-induced separation bubbles. Instead, a Strouhal number based on separation bubble length and reverse flow magnitude is found to be independent of Reynolds number within the range of cases studied

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
