Abstract:
Transition of natural convection flow on a heated flat plate and inside a heated channel is studied numerically. Three different RANS based turbulent k-ε models namely standard, RNG and Realizable with an enhanced wall function are employed in the simulations. Additionally, a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique is also applied to particularly investigate the flow field and transition in a heated plate facing upward. Numerous published papers presented the typical characteristic behaviour of natural convection flow inside a channel, however, none of these provided information about the transi

This thesis was aimed developing a fundamental understanding of the boundary layer response to arbitrary motion. In this context arbitrary motion was defined as the unsteady translation and rotation of an object. Research objectives were developed from the gaps in knowledge as defined during the literature survey. The objectives were divided into three main activities; mathematical formulations for non-inertial bulk flow and boundary layer equations, implementation of said formulations in a numerical solver and simulations for various applications in arbitrary motion.

Abstract:
Since O. Reynolds' experiment revealed the transition from laminar state to turbulence in pipe flow (1883), numerous efforts had been exerted in order to understand the mechanism. Linear hydrodynamic stability theory was established in the first half ofthe twentieth century. This theory predicts the growth of small disturbances during the initial stage of transition. As an important achievement, the Tollmien-Schlichting (T-S) instability, which represents the initial evolution of disturbances in two dimensional shear flows, has been described and verified in boundary layer experiments.

The rotating-disk boundary layer is not only a simpler model for the study of cross-flow instability than swept-wing boundary layers but also a useful simplification of many industrial-flow applications where rotating configurations are present. For the rotating disk, it has been suggested that a local absolute instability, leading to a global instability, is responsible for the small variation in the observed laminar-turbulent transition Reynolds number however the exact nature of the transition is still not fully understood.

Aerodynamic flow control can improve aerofoil performance by influencing the natural growth of boundary layers, which develop on the surface of vehicles moving in viscous fluids. Many active and passive techniques have been developed to reduce drag and/or increase the lift of aerofoil sections. The work presented in this thesis is concerned with the active excitation of the boundary layer on the suction side of aerofoil sections through momentum transfer via a secondary flow. The secondary flow was achieved by air passing through an air breathing device (ABD) which was implemented in the aerof

Abstract:
Boundary layer separation is an unwanted phenomenon in most technical applications, as for instance on airplane wings, ground vehicles and in internal flow systems. If separation occurs, it causes loss of lift, higher drag and energy losses. It is thus essential to develop methods to eliminate or delay separation.In the present experimental work streamwise vortices are introduced in turbulent boundary layers to transport higher momentum fluid towards the wall. This enables the boundary layer to stay attached at  larger pressure gradients. First the adverse pressure gradient (APG) separation bu

The receptivity process requires a transfer of energy from the long wavelength of the free-stream disturbance to the short wavelength of the instability wave. In the case of wall suction, thi

Abstract:
Receptivity refers to the generation of boundary layer instability waves by external disturbances. Recent work by M. E. Goldstein has set the general framework for the different types of boundary layer receptivity mechanisms. Therefore, it is now understood that receptivity occurs near the leading edge or at locations downstream where the boundary layer undergoes a rapid streamwise adjustment. The present work analyzes the receptivity due to a free-stream acoustic wave interacting with a suction surface--hard wall junction. In this case, receptivity occurs because of the rapid changes in wall

In this thesis, the main focus is on the interaction of an incoming Tollmien–Schlichting wave with an isolated, stationary wall roughness in subsonic flow. In Part I, this problem is analysed by means of the Triple Deck theory. The linearised sublayer equations are solved under the assumption that the horizontal extent of the roughness is of O(L Re^(−3/8)) and that its height h is small, and an expression for the pressure perturbation is found. The transmission coefficient T_I , defined as the amplitude of the T–S wave downstream of the roughness divided by its initial amplitude, is then calcu
