Dynamics and control of separated flow over small-scale surface deformations with slip

Surface slip was employed to control flow separation induced by small-scale Gaussian-shaped surface deformations on a two-dimensional flat plate. Single-surface deformations, including bumps and gaps, were modeled, which generated separated flow along the rear side of the bump and within the gap con...

Sumario:Surface slip was employed to control flow separation induced by small-scale Gaussian-shaped surface deformations on a two-dimensional flat plate. Single-surface deformations, including bumps and gaps, were modeled, which generated separated flow along the rear side of the bump and within the gap concavity for a Reynolds number Re = 100 000 when the plate surface was subject to the no-slip condition. Surface slip was modeled using a Navier-slip condition and quantified by a slip length λ . Bump deformations had a greater impact on the flow dynamics than gap concavities, generating more intense regions of reversed flow and requiring larger slip lengths to inhibit flow separation. In addition, double-bump configurations were modeled, with the location of the two bumps playing a critical role in the evolution of the flow. When the bumps were close together, the first bump controlled the size of the separation bubble that developed downstream of the second bump. Whereas when bumps ware far apart, a moderate slip length λ excited nonlinear oscillatory flow. However, increasing the slip length suppressed this phenomenon and ultimately eliminated all pockets of separated flow.
