To identify the liquid–gas interface, however, PLIF-based methods require an artificial threshold value of brightness or a calibration curve between the thickness and the brightness, limiting its application in measuring unknown film thickness. To overcome the drawbacks, we propose a new method, time-variant PLIF (T-PLIF), which employs an index of time variance of brightness to detect the interface. We first establish the mathematical principle of T-PLIF, wherein the time variance of a phase-dependent variable becomes the maximum exactly at the time-averaged position of the wavy interface. We then perform experiments for a well-controlled downward annular liquid film flow to test the reliability of T-PLIF. We demonstrate that T-PLIF measures liquid film thickness of <span>(h &gt; 0.2,textrm{mm})</span> with the accuracy of <span>(varepsilon le 10%)</span> to the theoretical reference and <span>(h le 0.2,textrm{mm})</span> with <span>(varepsilon = 20%)</span>. T-PLIF is able to quantify the film thickness with no need for any pre-/post-calibration or artificial threshold values. We further confirm the applicability of T-PLIF to the wavy film flow sheared by an airflow up to <span>(30,text{m/s})</span> by measuring the phase velocity and wavelength, which well matches the theoretical results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":554,"journal":{"name":"Experiments in Fluids","volume":"66 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423175","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}

In the past, it has been primarily investigated in the context of air flows to increase lift and optimize propulsion in aeronautical applications, while in this paper, it is considered in the context of shallow-water free-surface flows for potential applications in coastal engineering. Through an extensive experimental campaign, the influence of multiple parameters, including some previously unexplored factors related to the presence of a free surface (i.e., Froude’s number), is investigated by employing time-resolved particle image velocimetry. These parameters are considered individually and simultaneously to provide a comprehensive understanding of their effects and identify the key variables controlling the phenomenon. Results indicate that in this configuration, the Coandă effect is slightly enhanced compared to standard two and three-dimensional air jets, resulting in shorter reattaching lengths. While cross-sectional velocity profiles were measured to be symmetrical and somewhat similar to that of a free jet, it was found that the jet’s axis is not a streamline, implying a significant asymmetry in the entrainment properties on the two sides of the jet. Finally, a simple scaling system based on the predicted reattachment length was proven effective in generalizing the phenomenon’s properties across a wide range of conditions.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":554,"journal":{"name":"Experiments in Fluids","volume":"66 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00348-024-03892-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dynamic stall is dominated by a vortex formed at the leading edge; we characterize the vorticity, circulation, and advection path of this dynamic-stall vortex (DSV). The presence of the tubercles profoundly modifies the boundary layer from the leading edge. The roll-up of the vorticity sheet is significantly delayed compared to a conventional airfoil, resulting in a weaker DSV.

In this work, we present experimental results examining the superposition of acoustic streaming and bulk flow in a microchannel that incorporates an array of sharp-edge obstacles placed uniformly inside the microchannels. In the absence of bulk flow, we perform experiments over a parameter space consisting of obstacle morphology (circle, square, triangle, cross) and input sinusoidal voltage (4–12 V) with a fixed frequency of 5.8 kHz. Microscopic particle image velocimetry (µPIV) measurements yield a velocity range from 37 to 674 µm/s. Importantly, in all shapes, an overall clockwise rotation was found at the right side of the PZT and anticlockwise rotation at the left side of PZT. Although the peak acoustic streaming velocities are different for each shape, we find that the velocity scales nearly quadratically as a function of applied voltage (<span>({U}_{o}sim {V}_{text{app}}^{2})</span>), which is consistent with scaling analyses of acoustic streaming in microfluidic systems. A bulk flow of ~ 185 µm/s is imposed on the microchannel at the same time as a 10 V signal.

A specially designed fluorescence cell allows a precise adjustment of the film thickness at a fixed temperature and allows the investigation of various substrate materials and textures. Photo-dissociation free measurements are ensured due to a closed-loop circuit, driven by a pump. The LIF signal was generated by admixture of the fluorescent dye Nile red to the heat transfer oil Marlotherm LH. A CW laser at 532 nm was applied for excitation, and emissions were recorded by using a spectrometer. The use of a relatively low dye concentration (0.59 mg/l) ensures negligible reabsorption of the fluorescence and thus minimal spectral changes due to a variation in film thickness, which is indispensable for precise temperature measurements. A comparison of the dye fluorescence affected by reflections at different solid materials and surface treatments for a 1-mm film thickness reveals a similar trend for all investigated materials, except for copper. Copper leads to a surface texture-dependent spectral shift of the peak emission (polished: 3.8 nm, sandblasted: 4.3 nm) toward larger wavelengths in comparison with the remaining materials (peak always at 586.4 nm). This is attributed to the more distinct wavelength-dependent reflection behavior of copper evaluated in a theoretical study. Since the fluorescence signal experiences a stronger reflection in comparison with the incident laser beam, this leads to a spectral shift of the emission spectra toward larger wavelengths. A model approach is developed describing effects of direct and non-direct reflection of fluorescence for different materials and textures. A diffusive reflection leads to an overall decrease of reabsorption. This is caused by the reduced direct reflection of laser light, which passes through the liquid film a second time (or multiple times) and consequently less emission signal. Temperature-dependent measurements in combination with a two-color measurement approach showed the significant influence of wavelength-dependent reflection behavior on the temperature determination on liquid films.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":554,"journal":{"name":"Experiments in Fluids","volume":"66 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00348-025-03990-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measurement system is validated through steady and unsteady experiments and is used to study the unsteady pressure distributions associated with transverse wing–gust encounters. Concurrent analysis of the pressure distributions and flowfields yields the following flow event sequence for high gust ratio (GR) experiments: As the wing enters the gust, a large suction peak forms on the leading edge. The suction peak widens and eventually splits into two distinct peaks. The secondary suction peak is associated with the leading-edge vortex (LEV) and its suction strength is found to be proportional to the gusting flow dynamic pressure, <span>(textrm{GR}^2 + 1)</span>. Integration of the sectional pressure distributions resulted in accurate estimates of the overall wing loads during the vortex formation stage of the dynamic stall process but not during the vortex separation stage. Dynamic stall initiation is shown to be associated with an inflection point on the leading-edge suction transient and an abrupt drop in the leading-edge pressure gradient.
