Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of physical and numerical experiments on investigating the effect of the depth of immersion of a two-dimensional obstacle with a square cross section into a developed turbulent boundary layer on the length of the separated flow region are presented. The numerical simulation is based on solving averaged Navier–Stokes equations with the use of the k–ε model of turbulence. The near-wall flow is visualized in the experiments, and the fields of mean and fluctuating velocities are measured. Flow regions where the results of numerical simulation agree with experimental data are determined. It is shown that the length of the recirculation flow region in the near wake increases with decreasing depth of immersion of the two-dimensional obstacle into the turbulent boundary layer.
