Abstract
The main objective of this study is to clarify the effect of thermal wall boundary conditions on turbulence statistics and structures in a compressible turbulent flow. This work is an extension of Morinishi et al. (J. Fluid Mech. vol. 502, 2004, p. 273), who performed DNS of compressible turbulent channel flow between adiabatic and isothermal walls at Mach number (Case 1) and DNS of the corresponding incompressible turbulent flow with passive scalar transport (Case I) are performed. The present study shows that the mean temperature profile near the high-temperature wall for Case 1 has an additional maximum due to the friction work, while such an additional maximum does not appear for Cases 2 and I. The additional maximum leads to a corresponding near-wall maximum of temperature fluctuations. We find the direction of energy transfer due to pressure work near the adiabatic wall for Case 2 being opposite to that near the isothermal wall to be due to the effect of the high-temperature wall, not to the effect of the adiabatic wall. These findings are explained by using the budgets of internal energy and temperature variance transport equations.
