Abstract:
The turbulent channel flows with smooth and rough walls are investigated using laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV). The roughness element is two-dimensional spanwise V-shape groove, and the depth and pitch of groove is 0.8 mm and 6.4 mm respectively. The ratio of channel half height to groove depth is 12.5. The Reynolds number based on the centerline velocity and channel half height is varied from 2740 to 17400. The measurements involve mean velocity, turbulence intensity, Reynolds shear stress and the third and fourth order moments of velocity fluctuation. Results show that the effects of groove-shape roughness are not limited in the inner layer, but extend to the whole boundary layer. The roughness function on the rough wall increases with the Reynolds number, and the velocity defect profiles are slightly higher than those on the smooth wall. The streamwise turbulence intensity is attenuated significantly in the inner layer and meanwhile is intensified slightly in the outer layer by the grooves. The Reynolds shear stress on the rough wall is evidently larger than that on the smooth wall. Similar to the turbulence intensity, the Reynolds shear stress profiles on the smooth and rough walls both exhibit low-Reynolds-number dependence. The skewness of streamwise velocity fluctuation is increased by the groove-roughness, although the flatness is hardly affected by the wall conditions.
