Analysis of Numerical Simulation Database for Pressure Fluctuations Induced By High-Speed Turbulent Boundary Layers
Abstract
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of Mach 6 turbulent boundary layer with nominal freestream Mach number of 6 and Reynolds number of ReT ≈ 460 are conducted at two wall temperatures (Tω=Tr = 0:25, 0:76) to investigate the generated pressure uctuations and their dependence on wall temperature. It is shown that the mean flow predictions and computed frequency spectrum of wall-pressure fluctuations are in good agreement with the measurements in the Boeing/AFOSR Mach 6 Quiet Tunnel at Purdue University. Simulations indicate that the inuence of wall temperature on pressure fluctuations is largely limited to the near-wall region, with the characteristics of wall-pressure fluctuations showing a strong temperature dependence. Wall temperature has little inuence on the propagation speed of the freestream pressure signal. The freestream radiation intensity compares well between wall-temperature cases when normalized by the local wall shear; the propagation speed of the freestream pressure signal and the orientation of the radiation wave front show little dependence on the wall temperature.
