Abstract

Large eddy simulation (LES) of low Mach number compressible turbulent channel flow with spanwise wall oscillation (SWO) is carried out. The flow field is analyzed with emphases laid on the heat transport as well as its relation with momentum transport. When turbulent coherent structures are suppressed by SWO, the turbulent transports are significantly changed, however the momentum and heat transports change in the same manner, which gives the evidence of inherently consistent transport mechanisms between momentum and heat in turbulent boundary layers. The Reynolds analogies of all the flow cases are quite good, which confirms again the fact that the transport mechanisms of momentum and heat are consistent, which gives theoretical support for controlling the wall heat flux control by using the drag reducing techniques.
