Numerical tests of far-field boundary conditions for stably stratified flows
Bodnár, Tomáš ; Fraunié, P. ; Řezníček, Hynek
This numerical study presents the results of simulations of stably stratified wall-bounded flows. The effect of artificial far-field boundary conditions is studied in detail. The standard homogeneous Neumann condition for pressure is replaced by a non-homogeneous condition depending on local velocity and its gradient. The two-dimensional tests are performed for the case of flow over a low isolated hill. The simulations on computational domains with three different heights are discussed to evaluate the performance of the new far-field artifcial boundary condition. The model is based on Boussinesq approximation of non-homogeneous Navier-Stokes equations, solved using artificial compressibility method, looking for a steady solution.

Note on the problem of compressible non-Newtonian fluids
Caggio, M. ; Nečasová, Šárka
The aim of the paper is to consider the compressible non-Newtonian fluids of power law type when the viscosity coeffcients depend not only on invariants of velocity field but also on the density. We introduce approximation scheme using model of multipolar fluids. After then passing with higher viscosity to zero we get the measure valued solution of the problem.

On the mechanisms of dimensional transition in stably stratified turbulent fluid layers
Caggio, M. ; Bodnár, Tomáš ; Schiavon, M.
The purpose of this short review communication is to present some recent results on the effects of stable density stratification on the three-dimensional turbulent dynamics of 'thin' fluid layers forced at intermediate scales. In particular, how the strati cation and the confinement affect the mechanism of kinetic and potential energy transfer between different scales. Results on two-dimensional vertically stratifed flows and possible applications for stably stratifed atmospheric boundary layer will be shortly discussed.

Assessing Quality of Boundary Layer Flows With the Diagnostic Plot
Jurčáková, Klára ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Kellnerová, Radka
We experimentally investigated turbulent boundary layers over 4 rough surfaces and 1 smooth surface by particle image velocimetry for a range a free stream velocities. The obtained mean velocity vertical profiles were universally scaled by roughness length z₀ and friction velocity u*, but both parameters have to be obtained from the fit of the logarithmic or composite velocity pro le to the experimental data. Diagnostic plot, which relates turbulence intensity with the mean velocity showed good collapse of different free stream velocities for each surface. It became fully universal in its modified version when the roughness function was taken into an account. We found that turbulence intensities over our surfaces are higher than any published one and that they dependent on roughness length z₀*.

Large Scale Motions in Turbulent Flows
Kellnerová, Radka ; Jurčáková, Klára ; Procházka, Pavel P.
Quadrant analysis based on the Reynolds decomposition was performed on the data from turbulent boundary layer flows above variously rough surfaces. An estimation of a convective velocity for events significant in terms of momentum flux, and the statistics of a length and amplitude of the individual events, together with their spectral analysis, was performed. Based on the analyses, we were able to detect a few individual sweep and ejection events with a length longer than 6δ, which could be considered as very large scale motions (VLSM). We also identified number of events with a longitudinal dimension equal to approximately 3δ labelled as large scale motions (LSM). The analyses were executed for various Reynolds numbers. The number of detected structures increases with the momentum of the flow.

Simulation of Supersonic Flow Through the Tip-Section Turbine Blade Cascade with a Flat Profile
Musil, Josef ; Příhoda, Jaromír ; Fürst, J.
The contribution presents results of the numerical simulation of 2D compressible flow through the tip-section turbine blade cascade with a flat profile and the supersonic inlet. The simulation was carried out by the OpenFOAM code using the Favre-averaged NavierStokes equations completed by the two-equation SST turbulence model and the γ-Reθ bypass transition model. Predictions carried out for nominal conditions were focused particularly on the relation between the inlet flow angle and the inlet Mach number. Further, the effect of the shock-wave/boundary layer interaction on the skin friction coefficient was investigated. Numerical results were compared with experimental data.

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.
