Numerical tests of vanishing diffusion stabilization in Oldroyd-B fluid flow simulations
Pires, M. ; Bodnár, Tomáš
This work presents some numerical tests of finite element solution of incompressible Oldroyd-B fluids flows, using different types of numerical stabilization. In this study the diffusive term (Laplacian of extra stress) is added to the tensorial constitutive relation where it is multiplied by a coefficient, that is variable in time. The goal is to make this diffusion coefficient vanish in time, so that the final solution remains unaffected by the added diffusion term. A series of numerical tests was performed for the steady two-dimensional Oldroyd-B fluid flow in corrugated channel (tube) to compare different versions of the vanishing stabilization terms and assess their efficiency in enforcing the solution convergence, without affecting the final steady state.

Second-order model for atmospheric turbulence without critical Richardson number
Caggio, M. ; Schiavon, M. ; Tampieri, F. ; Bodnár, Tomáš
The purpose of this communication is to present a derivation of the non-dimensional vertical gradients of the mean wind speed and mean potential temperature expressed in terms of the so-called similarity functions for very stable conditions of the atmosphere where theoretical approaches provide conflicting results (see e.g. Luhar et al. [19]). The result is based on the analysis of the second-order model equations in the boundary layer approximations in which new heat flux equations are proposed. The model employs a recent closure for the pressure-temperature correlation, avoiding the issue of a critical treshold for the Richardson number.

CFD Analysis of Flow in a Blade Cascade Deformed Due to Forced Torsional Vibration
Vomáčko, V. ; Šidlof, P. ; Šimurda, David ; Hála, Jindřich
The paper presents a 3D numerical simulation of flow in a blade cascade, whose geometry models the test section of a new experimental facility for blade flutter research. In the experimental setup, the middle blade of the cascade undergoes high-frequency forced sinusoidal pitching oscillation. Due to inertial forces, the slender blade deforms elastically to certain degree. The goal of this study is to assess the influence of the elastic deformation on the flow field. To compute the deformed geometry, a transient structural analysis was performed. In the second part, the CFD model of flow past a 3D blade cascade with deformed and undeformed blade is presented and these two configurations are compared. For the deformed configuration the incidence angle increases along the blade span from -1.8° to -2.7°. However, the Mach number distribution along the span varies less than expected. blade cascade, flutter, turbomachinery, CFD

Boundary Layer on the Flat Plate with Roughness Strip
Skála, Vladislav
Effect of the roughness strip on the boundary layer development on a flat plate was studied experimentally. A special model of a flat plate was designed. Experiment was made in non perturbed flow. Smooth flat plate (with super elliptical leading edge) was equipped with short roughness strip (close to the leading edge). Profiles of total pressure along the boundary layer were measured using flattened Pitot tube. First basic results of experiments are presented.
