摘要:

本文使用直接数值模拟研究了由压力梯度和浮力驱动共同驱动的湍流剪切流。具体而言,我们考虑了受类泊肃叶水平压力梯度作用的微分加热垂直通道的设置。我们探索了系统对其三个控制参数的响应:Grashof数$Gr$、Prandtl数$Pr$以及压力驱动流的Reynolds数$Re$。由这些输入参数,浮力驱动相对于压力梯度的相对强度可通过Richardson数$Ri=Gr/Re^2$来量化。我们将混合垂直对流构型的响应与混合Rayleigh-Bénard对流进行了比较,发现两者的行为几乎完全一致,包括在较高$Gr$时壁面摩擦增加,以及在$Ri=O(1)$时相对于自然对流的热通量下降。尽管系统中的流场结构截然不同,这种响应却高度吻合。在混合垂直对流的流场可视化中未观察到大规模的组织结构——光谱分析定量地证实了这一观察结果。该分析与壁面热通量的统计描述相结合,突显了中等剪切如何抑制小尺度热羽流的生长,并降低了局部壁面热通量发生极端事件的概率。反之,从纯剪切流出发,热力驱动的加入会由于热羽流的发射而增强阻力。

英文摘要:

Turbulent shear flows driven by a combination of a pressure gradient and buoyancy forcing are investigated using direct numerical simulations. Specifically, we consider the setup of a differentially heated vertical channel subject to a Poiseuille-like horizontal pressure gradient. We explore the response of the system to its three control parameters: the Grashof number $Gr$, the Prandtl number $Pr$, and the Reynolds number $Re$ of the pressure-driven flow. From these input parameters, the relative strength of buoyancy driving to the pressure gradient can be quantified by the Richardson number $Ri=Gr/Re^2$. We compare the response of the mixed vertical convection configuration to that of mixed Rayleigh-Bénard convection and find a nearly identical behaviour, including an increase in wall friction at higher $Gr$ and a drop in the heat flux relative to natural convection for $Ri=O(1)$. This closely matched response is despite vastly different flow structures in the systems. No large-scale organisation is visible in visualisations of mixed vertical convection - an observation that is quantitatively confirmed by spectral analysis. This analysis, combined with a statistical description of the wall heat flux, highlights how moderate shear suppresses the growth of small-scale plumes and reduces the likelihood of extreme events in the local wall heat flux. Vice versa, starting from a pure shear flow, the addition of thermal driving enhances the drag due to the emission of thermal plumes.
