摘要

For small scale flying vehicles, which operate at Re numbers less than 50,000, airfoil efficiency is greatly degraded and lift and drag become very sensitive to external turbulence levels, surface roughness and other disturbances. Separation is common in such flows, and laminar-to-turbulent transition is required to close the separated bubble. To improve airfoil performance and reliability at this low Re, transition to turbulence should be as fast as possible. The transition in a low-Re separation zone is very sensitive to both environmental conditions and the presence of the solid wall. Through the use of viscous linear stability theory and wind tunnel hot wire measurements, we characterize the transition process of a shear layer separating at Reynolds number (based on momentum thickness) ≈ 15. Although free shear layers are very unstable, even at Re_θ as low as 5, we find that the presence of a wall greatly reduces or eliminates shear layer instabilities and, depending on the distance from the shear layer to the wall, the space required for disturbance growth and laminar-to-turbulent transition can be greatly increased.
