While strain gauge technology is very mature, piezoresistive semiconductor sensors offer alternatives that are worth exploring to assess their unique benefits, such as better strain resolution and accuracy, which would enable balances to be designed with higher factors to safety and hence longer fatigue lifetimes. A new three-component balance, based on temperature compensated semiconductor strain gauges, is designed, calibrated and tested in a hypersonic low density wind tunnel. The static accuracy of the semiconductor balance is calibrated better than 0.3% FS, and the dynamic accuracy of the balance is established using a HB-2 standard model in a Mach 12 hypersonic flow. Good experimental repeatability is confirmed to be better than 2.5% FS, and the effectiveness of the balance is demonstrated by comparing the forces and moments of measured data with computational fluid dynamics simulations, as well as reference wind tunnel results under similar conditions.","PeriodicalId":33737,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Aerodynamics","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138527852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we study the influence of the surface bumps and consider the rarefied gas flow in a unit channel with periodic boundary conditions to remove the end effect. It is found that the surface bumps have a significant impact on the flow permeability. When $$alpha$$ is very small (i.e., nearly specular reflection of gas molecules at the channel surface), the apparent gas permeability is dramatically reduced, even in the presence of small bumps, to a value that is almost comparable to the one when fully diffuse gas-surface scattering is assumed. This impact can be taken into account through an effective accommodation coefficient, i.e., the permeability of the rough channel is taken equivalently as that of a smooth channel without bumps but having gas-surface scattering under the effective accommodation coefficient. Second, we study the end effect by connecting a smooth channel of length $$L_0$$ to two huge gas reservoirs. It is found that (i) the end correction length is large at small $$alpha$$ . Consequently, the mass flow rate barely reduces with increasing $$L_0$$ rather than scales down by a factor of $$1/L_0$$ as predicted by the classical Knudsen diffusion theory; and (ii) the end correction is related to the channel’s aspect ratio. Finally, based on the effective accommodation coefficient and end correction, we explain the exotic flow enhancement in graphene angstrom-scale channels observed by Geim’s research group (Keerthi et al, Nature 558:420–424, 2018).","PeriodicalId":33737,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Aerodynamics","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138527854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key of this method is that a skin friction field is reconstructed from a surface pressure field as an inverse problem by applying a variational method. For applications, the approximate method is proposed, where the composite surface pressure field is given by a linear superposition of the base-flow surface pressure field and the surface pressure variation field and the base-flow BEF field is used as the first-order approximation. This approximate method is constructive in a mathematical sense since a complex skin friction field in separated flows can be reconstructed from some elemental skin friction structures (skin friction source/sink, vortex and their combinations) by a linear superposition of some simple surface pressure structures. The distinct topological features, such as critical points, separation lines and attachment lines, naturally occur as a result of such reconstruction. As examples, some elemental skin friction structures in separated flows are reconstructed in simulations, and the skin friction fields in shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions (SWBLIs) are reconstructed from pressure sensitive paint (PSP) images obtained in wind tunnel experiments.","PeriodicalId":33737,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Aerodynamics","volume":"24 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138527853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence of key parameters in non-stationary wind velocity models on nonlinear buffeting responses of a super long-span suspension bridge was investigated in this paper. Firstly, four non-stationary wind velocity models are established by combing the time-varying average wind velocity with an exponential function and the fluctuating wind velocity with four modulation functions, respectively. These non-stationary wind velocity models have obvious non-stationary characteristics and then are validated by the classical power spectrum densities. Finally, three displacement responses of the bridge deck under four different independent variables of β in the exponential function and four modulation functions were compared, respectively. Results show that the turbulence intensities using two non-uniform modulation functions (NMF) are larger than those using uniform modulation functions (uMF). Moreover, the root mean square (RMS) values of three displacement responses increase with the decrease of β . Besides, the RMS values of three displacement under two NMFs are larger than those under two uMFs, and their RMS values under the second uMF are the smallest.","PeriodicalId":33737,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Aerodynamics","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135944003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the variation of the cell Knudsen number, the UGKWP method captures the transport process in all flow regimes without the kinetic solver’s constraint on the numerical mesh size and time step being determined by the kinetic particle mean free path and particle collision time. In the current UGKWP method, the cell Knudsen number, which is defined as the ratio of particle collision time to numerical time step, is used to distribute the components in the wave-particle decomposition. The adaptation of particles in the UGKWP method is mainly for the capturing of the non-equilibrium transport. In this aspect, the cell Knudsen number alone is not enough to identify the non-equilibrium state. For example, in the equilibrium flow regime with a Maxwellian distribution function, even at a large cell Knudsen number, the flow evolution can be still modelled by the Navier-Stokes solver. More specifically, in the near space environment both the hypersonic flow around a space vehicle and the plume flow from a satellite nozzle will encounter a far field rarefied equilibrium flow in a large computational domain. In the background dilute equilibrium region, the large particle collision time and a uniform small numerical time step can result in a large local cell Knudsen number and make the UGKWP method track a huge number of particles for the far field background flow in the original approach. But, in this region the analytical wave representation can be legitimately used in the UGKWP method to capture the nearly equilibrium flow evolution. Therefore, to further improve the efficiency of the UGKWP method for multiscale flow simulations, an adaptive UGKWP (AUGKWP) method is developed with the introduction of an additional local flow variable gradient-dependent Knudsen number. As a result, the wave-particle decomposition in the UGKWP method is determined by both the cell and gradient Knudsen numbers, and the use of particles in the UGKWP method is solely to capture the non-equilibrium flow transport. The current AUGKWP method becomes much more efficient than the previous one with the cell Knudsen number only in the determination of wave-particle composition. Many numerical tests, including Sod shock tube, normal shock structure, hypersonic flow around cylinder, flow around reentry capsule, and an unsteady nozzle plume flow, have been conducted to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the AUGKWP method. Compared with the original UGKWP method, the AUGKWP method achieves the same accuracy, but has advantages in memory reduction and computational efficiency in the simulation for flows with the co-existing of multiple regimes.","PeriodicalId":33737,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Aerodynamics","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135689904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
