Wind and boundary layers in Rayleigh-Benard convection. Part 2: boundary layer character and scaling

Maarten van Reeuwijk, Harm J. J. Jonker, Kemo Hanjalic

摘要:

本文通过对长径比为4的区域进行直接数值模拟,研究了Rayleigh-Benard对流的风场对边界层的影响,其中Ra={10^5,10^6,10^7},Pr=1。结果表明,上、底板上的运动边界层兼有层流和紊流边界层的某些特征。连续谱以及由于雷诺应力而产生的显著强迫无疑表明了湍流特性,而经典积分边界层参数--形状因子和摩擦因子(后者被证明是由压力梯度决定的)--随雷诺数的变化更类似于层流边界层。这种明显的双重行为是由羽流撞击和脱离边界层的巨大影响造成的。羽流产生的雷诺应力在我们考虑的瑞利数下对摩擦因子的影响可以忽略不计,这表明它们相对于平行于壁的方向上的动量传递是被动的。然而,对于动力边界层的厚度,雷诺应力的影响不能忽略。利用一个概念性的风场模型,我们发现摩擦系数C_f与热边界层厚度成正比,即C_f ~ lambda_Theta,而动力边界层厚度lambda_u与热边界层厚度和风雷诺数lambda_u ~ lambda_Theta^{-1} Re^{-1}成反比。C_f和λ_u的预测趋势与DNS结果一致。

英文摘要:

The effect of the wind of Rayleigh-Benard convection on the boundary layers is studied by direct numerical simulation of an L/H=4 aspect-ratio domain with periodic side boundary conditions for Ra={10^5, 10^6, 10^7} and Pr=1. It is shown that the kinetic boundary layers on the top- and bottom plate have some features of both laminar and turbulent boundary layers. A continuous spectrum, as well as significant forcing due to Reynolds stresses indicates undoubtedly a turbulent character, whereas the classical integral boundary layer parameters -- the shape factor and friction factor (the latter is shown to be dominated by the pressure gradient) -- scale with Reynolds number more akin to laminar boundary layers. This apparent dual behavior is caused by the large influence of plumes impinging onto and detaching from the boundary layer. The plume-generated Reynolds stresses have a negligible effect on the friction factor at the Rayleigh numbers we consider, which indicates that they are passive with respect to momentum transfer in the wall-parallel direction. However, the effect of Reynolds stresses cannot be neglected for the thickness of the kinetic boundary layer. Using a conceptual wind model, we find that the friction factor C_f should scale proportional to the thermal boundary layer thickness as C_f ~ lambda_Theta, while the kinetic boundary layer thickness lambda_u scales inversely proportional to the thermal boundary layer thickness and wind Reynolds number lambda_u ~ lambda_Theta^{-1} Re^{-1}. The predicted trends for C_f and λ_u are in agreement with DNS results.
