Shear layer-synthetic jet interaction.Qualitative solution
Falta, Jiří ; Maršík, František (advisor) ; Popelka, Lukáš (referee) ; Uruba, Václav (referee)
This thesis investigates possibilities of suppressing the boundary layer separation which is made by controling boundary layer stability. Orr-Sommerfeld equation is numerically solved for this purpose and its solution was tested on Blasius boundery layer which stability is described in many specialized publications. Transition to turbulence is found out by eN method. Single-variable description of velocity pro les on own surface, which is based on the aproximative properties of Falkner-Skan equation, was used. Process of transition on the aerofoil NACA 63-418 was solved as an example of using proposed computational programs.

Experimental investigations of liquid helium flows
Švančara, Patrik ; La Mantia, Marco (advisor) ; Mordant, Nicolas (referee) ; Uruba, Václav (referee)
Experimental investigations of liquid helium flows Selected turbulent flows of He II, the superfluid phase of liquid 4 He, are inves- tigated experimentally. The second sound attenuation technique is employed to directly probe the tangle of quantized vortices, thin topological defects within the superfluid, while relatively small particles made of solid hydrogen are dispersed in He II to visualize the overall flow of the liquid via the particle tracking ve- locimetry. Considering the known particle-vortex interaction mechanisms, steady thermal counterflow in a square channel is investigated. Significant inhomogene- ity of the vortex tangle density along the channel height (near the flow-generating heater) is shown to develop. The means of energy transport in turbulent flows of He II are found strikingly different from those taking place in turbulent flows of viscous fluids. Moreover, individual particles in counterflow are observed to intermittently switch between two distinct motion regimes along their trajecto- ries. The regimes are identified and qualitatively described. Steady counterflow jets in He II are realized and the spatial arrangement of the underlying vortex tangle is explored. Finally, macroscopic vortex rings are thermally generated and observed in He II. A method for tracking their...

The Effect of Angle of Attack on a Blade Cascade with Overlap
Procházka, Pavel P. ; Uruba, Václav ; Pešek, Luděk
This experimental study was carried out to study an aeroelastic coupling in the case of a blade cascade with overlap exposed to tunnel freestream of different angle of attack (AoA). Three of five blades were constructed to allow vertical position changing by the effect of three shakers. Particle Image Velocimetry was used to measure averaged velocity and dynamical parameters of the flow. Mainly, the effect of AoA will be discussed as well as the influence of blade enlargement and Re number. The influence of potential endplates will be indicated.

On the 3D Dynamics of the Wake Behind a Circular Cylinder
Uruba, Václav ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Skála, Vladislav
Flow in the wake of a circular cylinder is studied experimentally using time-resolved stereo PIV method. Special attention is paid to 3D topology of dynamical structures. While the distribution of statistic quantities along the cylinder is uniform, and i.e. 2D, the instantaneous flow structure is fully 3D. Within the velocity fluctuating flow field the structures containing streamwise vorticity and velocity components are dominant. The POD modes connected with von Kármán vortex street are identified.

Anisotropy of Turbulent Flow around an Airfoil
Uruba, Václav ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Skála, Vladislav
The flow around an airfoil is analyzed from the point of view turbulence anisotropy assessment. The turbulent flow-field in the vicinity of an airfoil is populated by vortices, in some locations they tend to regularity in orientation, i.e. to anisotropy. However in the wake behind the plate as well as in the core of the boundary layer on the plate suction side the turbulence is close to isotropic state.

The Effect of Blade Overlap on Aeroelastic Coupling
Procházka, Pavel P. ; Uruba, Václav ; Pešek, Luděk ; Bula, Vítězslav
This experimental study was established to clarify an aeroelastic coupling in the case of rotational periodic bodies. The blade grid was placed behind the outlet of the blow-down wind tunnel. Three of five blades were constructed to allow vertical position changing by the effect of three shakers. Particle Image Velocimetry was used to measure mean-phase velocity and dynamical parameters of the flow. The effect\nof blade enlargement will be introduced as well as the difference between forward and backward wave propagation.

Structure of the Wake Behind an Airfoil
Uruba, Václav ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Skála, Vladislav
The wake behind an inclined plate simulating airfoil is to be studied experimentally. The vortical structures are identified eventually. Theirs topology and dynamical behaviour is to be studied in details using the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition method. The stereo time resolved Particle Image Velocimetry technique is used for the experimental research. The vortex trains with oblique orientation and chequered topology have been detected.
