Structure of the thermal boundary layer in turbulent channel flows at transcritical conditions

J. Guo et al.

Summary: Enhanced fluctuations, steep gradients, and intensified heat transfer are characteristic of wall-bounded turbulence at transcritical conditions. This study addresses the poorly understood structure of the thermal boundary layer under realistic density gradients and heating conditions in such flows. By performing direct numerical simulations, an improved mean temperature transformation is proposed to accurately describe the temperature field in transcritical turbulence, providing a framework for the development of models for wall-bounded transcritical turbulence.

Influence of non-uniform thermal boundary on flow and heat transfer characteristics in rectangular channel

Jiansheng Wang et al.

Summary: This paper numerically investigates the flow behavior and heat transfer characteristic in a rectangular channel. The results show that the hot bands of non-uniform thermal boundary affect the interaction of velocity streaks along the streamwise direction, reducing the vorticity of the buffer layer and the fluctuation of the velocity gradient vector. Entropy analysis reveals that the hot bands of non-uniform thermal boundary play a similar role to riblets in blocking the self-sustainment of turbulent coherent structures. Moreover, dynamic modal decomposition (DMD) results indicate that the hot bands can improve the stability of the viscous layer and buffer layer.

Thermal boundary layer structure in low-Prandtl-number turbulent convection

Ambrish Pandey

Summary: The study investigates the structure of the thermal boundary layer in Rayleigh-Benard convection for Prandtl number 0.021, finding that the local thermal boundary layer thickness varies in different regions due to the influence of Ra-beta(x) and beta(x). The research concludes that the thermal boundary layer structure eventually becomes uniform throughout the horizontal plate, despite deviations from the Prandtl-Blasius-Pohlhausen profile.
