Abstract
Due to the distinctive structure of the test section, the open jet wind tunnel generates low-frequency pressure fluctuations (LFFs) within the range of typical wind speeds. These fluctuations significantly compromise the quality of the flow field in the test section. The evolution of the flow structure and vortex is analysed through the improved delayed detached eddy simulations (IDDES). The LFFs and the control mechanism in the open jet wind tunnel of Jilin University are then studied. The interaction between the large-scale vortex shedding at the nozzle exit and the collector forms the edge feedback, which is the main reason for the pressure fluctuation. According to the feedback mechanism, the LFFs are suppressed using the throat gap and by improving the collector shapes. The results show that the increase of the throat gap length at the collector can significantly alleviate the pressure accumulation inside the collector. The change of the collector shapes can control the impact area and time of the incoming flow, or produce permanent vortex structure to affect the impact shape of the vortex and the flow field at the collector, which allows to control the LFFs. This study lays a solid foundation for further comprehension of the aerodynamic characteristics of the open jet wind tunnels.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics (JAFM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal which covers a wide range of theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects in fluid mechanics. The emphasis is on the applications in different engineering fields rather than on pure mathematical or physical aspects in fluid mechanics. Although many high quality journals pertaining to different aspects of fluid mechanics presently exist, research in the field is rapidly escalating. The motivation for this new fluid mechanics journal is driven by the following points: (1) there is a need to have an e-journal accessible to all fluid mechanics researchers, (2) scientists from third- world countries need a venue that does not incur publication costs, (3) quality papers deserve rapid and fast publication through an efficient peer review process, and (4) an outlet is needed for rapid dissemination of fluid mechanics conferences held in Asian countries. Pertaining to this latter point, there presently exist some excellent conferences devoted to the promotion of fluid mechanics in the region such as the Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics which began in 1980 and nominally takes place in one of the Asian countries every two years. We hope that the proposed journal provides and additional impetus for promoting applied fluids research and associated activities in this continent. The journal is under the umbrella of the Physics Society of Iran with the collaboration of Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) .
