Effect of Water Droplets crossing the Boundary Layer in a Stagnation Point Configuration
AIAA AVIATION 2021 FORUM(2021)
摘要
An experimental study was conducted in the Vertical Icing Studies Tunnel at the Icing Physics Flow Laboratory of NASA Glenn Research Center to study the effect of water droplets crossing the boundary layer in a stagnation point configuration. The objective of the experiment was to determine if water droplets crossing a boundary layer create turbulent spots that accelerate the boundary layer transition from laminar to turbulent. Water droplets that crossed the boundary layer were generated with a nozzle installed in the plenum. The turbulence level in the boundary layer was measured with a hot wire system when the nozzle was off, air on, and air and water on. The results indicate that the presence of the nozzle alone did not affect the boundary layer. The activation of the nozzle to eject air only or to generate water droplets affected the turbulence level in the boundary layer. The continued study of this effect is needed because of its implications in the development of heat transfer models for icing codes.
