Abstract
The flow characteristics on a corrugated wall and the variations caused by a perforation are investigated experimentally based on two-dimensional particle image velocimetry (PIV), and the passive control mechanism of the perforation on the corrugated wall is studied. The corrugated wall has an amplitude-to-wavelength ratio 2a/λ = 0.1, with the wavelength Reynolds number Reλ = 14400 and bulk Reynolds number Reb = 17500. The perforation is located on the eleventh cycle of the corrugated wall. The results show that perforation increases the area of the recirculation zone, reduces the effect of frictional resistance, weakens the turbulence intensity and the Reynolds normal stress on the corrugated wall, but enhances the Reynolds shear stress. The POD and the Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent(FTLE) are used to analyze the vortex structures. From the FTLE result, it can be seen that the perforation disturbs the original shear layer and redistributes the vortex structure of the flow field. The instantaneous fluctuating flow field of the first 50 % and the last 50 % of the energy content after POD mode decomposition is reconstructed to study the effect of perforation on on large and small scale structures in the flow field. It is found that the impact of perforation on small-scale structures is greater than that on large-scale structures.
