Anisotropy of turbulent flow behind an asymmetric airfoil
2021
Feature of turbulent flow anisotropy behavior behind an asymmetric NACA 64-618 airfoil investigated in this paper. Experimental studies were performed using a hot-wire anemometery with X-probe at the chord-based Reynolds number $$1.7 \times 10^5$$
. The average ensemble velocity and Reynolds stress components are used to determine the wake topology and anisotropy of turbulence. The obtained data allowed to identify the outside wake region, which is characterized by low instability and a high degree of anisotropy of the turbulent flow. This tendency is observed at different angles incident. Further, to gain better insight into the physics of this phenomenon the structure of turbulence have been evaluated. Integral turbulence length and time scales were estimated by the area of the autocorrelation function of velocity fluctuations. Then, using the second-order structural function, we obtained the dissipation characteristics of the flow. In addition, the features of the energy spectrum in the region with high and low degrees of turbulence anisotropy were analyzed.
