Initially, a widely used standard squareback body is employed to establish grid-independent solutions and validate the applied methodology against previously published experimental data. Six distinct configurations are examined, consisting of three bodies with A-pillars and three without A-pillars. Throughout these configurations, the reference area, length, and height remain consistent, while systematic alterations to the forebody are implemented. The findings reveal that changes in the forebody design exert a substantial influence on both the overall aerodynamics and aeroacoustics performance of the vehicle. Notably, bodies without A-pillars exhibit a significant reduction in downforce compared to their A-pillar counterparts. For all configurations, the flow characteristics around the side-view mirror and the side window exhibit an asymmetrical horseshoe vortex with high-intensity pressure fluctuations, primarily within the confines of this vortex and the mirror wake. Side windows on bodies with A-pillars experience more pronounced pressure fluctuations, rendering these configurations distinctly impactful in terms of radiated noise. However, despite forebody-induced variations in pressure fluctuations impacting the side window and side-view mirror, the fundamental structure of the radiated noise remains relatively consistent. The noise pattern transitions from a cardioid-like shape to a monopole-like pattern as the probing distance from the vehicle increases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":559,"journal":{"name":"Flow, Turbulence and Combustion","volume":"112 4","pages":"1055 - 1081"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10494-023-00523-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139422938","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 spurious periodicity is generated through repeating segments of inflow data produced via a long boundary layer precursor simulation. Using a short segment of inflow data and recycling it while introduces a spurious periodicity, can help to reduce the computational cost of the precursor simulation as well as the storage needed to record the massive data. However, there is no quantitative analysis as to how far the results are affected by the spurious periodicity in case of a separated turbulent boundary layer. This study compares several cases with various inflow segment lengths with respect to a reference case with no periodicity. The inflow segments are created by truncating the reference case and thus an intrinsic disturbance is associated with them. An additional case without the disturbance is also considered to examine the latter’s influence on the results. First- and second-order flow statistics are assessed, and spectral analysis is conducted to scrutinize the impact of spurious periodicity. An additional second-order parameter is introduced as an indicator of the spurious periodicity influence. Finally, an especial configuration with active flow control using a synthetic jet actuator is investigated with and without the spurious periodicity. This will help to assess if the dominant frequency of the active flow control is affected by recycling inflow data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":559,"journal":{"name":"Flow, Turbulence and Combustion","volume":"112 2","pages":"459 - 482"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139376188","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}

Three test cases are investigated: one with fully-turbulent pipe inflow conditions and two with a laminar Maxworthy velocity profile at different swirl rates. Consequently, turbulent, bubble-type, and regular conical vortex breakdown states are established. Following phenomenological and statistical analyses of both phases, a significant enhancement of the overall droplet evaporation process due to the onset of the conical vortex breakdown is observed due to the strongest centrifugal forces driving the entire liquid drops towards the low-saturation mixing layer of the jet. The effects of droplet inertia on evaporation are isolated through an additional set of simulations where liquid droplets are treated as Lagrangian tracers. While it is found that inertial effects contribute to enhanced vaporization near the mixing layer under bubble vortex breakdown conditions, droplet inertia plays a secondary role under both turbulent and conical vortex breakdown due to intense turbulent mixing and high centrifugal forces, respectively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":559,"journal":{"name":"Flow, Turbulence and Combustion","volume":"112 2","pages":"643 - 667"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10494-023-00521-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139096331","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}

It has been found that the normalized volume-integrated burning rate remains of the same order of magnitude as that of the normalized flame surface area only for the reaction progress variable definition based on a species mass fraction which has a Lewis number close to unity (e.g. <span>({{text{CH}}}_{4})</span>) but the level of applicability deteriorates when the Lewis number of the species mass fraction, based on which the reaction progress variable is defined, deviates significantly from unity (e.g. <span>({{text{CO}}}_{2})</span>).

Since the air-mixture formation and subsequent processes are predominantly governed by the fuel injection, a DNS based numerical investigation coupled with VOF as an interface tracking method is carried out in this paper to gain better insight on the fuel injection from an industrial injector \"Spray G\" configuration. Chosen from Engine Combustion Network (ECN), this is a gasoline direct injector (GDI) featuring 8-holes orifices and operating with high injection pressure (200 bar). Under consideration of the required computational cost associated with DNS, only the 1/8 of the nozzle geometry including one orifice is used. The numerical simulation is accomplished for the quasi-steady injection condition with nozzle needle fully opened. The obtained results are first validated with available experimental data for nozzle mass flow rate and spray spread angle showing a good agreement. Then, a detailed numerical analysis is provided for the in/near nozzle flow evolution especially for flow turbulence, primary and secondary atomization. Furthermore, droplet statistics in terms of droplet shape, and droplet size-velocity distribution together with a breakup regime map are reported. Finally, a 2-D data curation technique is proposed to extract the droplet statistics along selected planes and evaluated by direct comparison with three-dimensional droplet data, which may allow handling of the DNS data in more feasible and economical way especially for time series data with higher frequency. The comprehensive DNS data generated by this DNS-VOF approach enable not only to carry out detailed numerical analysis of in- and near-nozzle physical phenomena for which experimental data are still scarce, but also to provide a hint of more reliable injector boundary conditions useful for lower order spray injection method based on Lagrangian particle tracking.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":559,"journal":{"name":"Flow, Turbulence and Combustion","volume":"112 2","pages":"615 - 642"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10494-023-00514-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138682181","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}
