Small Grant for Exploratory Research: Transverse Acoustical Wave Interaction with a Turbulent Boundary Layer (REU Supplement)

在探索性研究小额赠款的资助下， 建模工作将解决横向的相互作用 湍流平板特性的声波 板块边界层驻波和行波 将被考虑。模型验证将通过 与现有实验数据的比较， 与纵向声波的相互作用。既然如此， 对转变和热传递的显著影响是 观察 横波通常发生在燃烧室中。 声驱动的壁面剪切和传热变化 可以用于燃烧中的有益效果， 冷却应用。

With funding under a Small Grant for Exploratory Research, a modeling effort will address the interaction of transverse acoustical waves on the characteristics of a turbulent flat plate boundary layer. Both standing as well as traveling waves will be considered. Model validation will be through comparison with existing experimental data for the case of interaction with longitudinal acoustic waves. In that case, significant effects on transition and heat transfer have been observed. Transverse waves commonly occur in combustion chambers. Acoustically driven changes in wall shear and heat transfer could be utilized for beneficial effects in combustion and cooling applications.
