Abstract
A laminar separation bubble is studied on an SD7003 foil in a water towing tank at a Reynolds number of 6⋅104 and an angle of attack of 6∘ by means of the temperature sensitive paint single-shot lifetime method in order to resolve the footprints and dynamics of vortical structures at low inflow turbulence levels. A heat flux is created by applying a carbon based heating layer on the suction side of the foil. The influence of the surface heating on the transition behaviour is analyzed using 2D2C-PIV and found to be negligible. The results demonstrate the capability of the single-shot lifetime method to quantify salient time-averaged flow characteristics, as well as to resolve and characterize the footprints of the dominant coherent structures.
