Flow characteristics in boundary layer bleed slots with plenum

Numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the performance characteristics of bleed through normal slots and its effect on the turbulent boundary layer development under zero and strong adverse pressure gradient caused by incident oblique shock. The solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes and k-epsilon equations was obtained in a domain that includes the regions inside the bleed slot and plenum in addition to the external flow. The computational results demonstrate the interactions between the plenum and bleed flow and the effect of incident shock on the boundary layer development downstream. The computed results agree with the experimentally measured pitot and static pressure distribution inside the slot. The bleed mass flow without incident shock was underpredicted over the range of plenum pressures. The computations predicted the measured increase in bleed mass flow with incident shock.

An investigation of shock wave turbulent boundary layer interaction with bleed through slanted slots

Flow-field characteristics are simulated numerically in an oblique shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interactions with six different bleed slot configurations. The strong conservation-law form of the 2D compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the k-epsilon equations are solved throughout the interaction region and inside the bleed slot. The computed results are presented for a normal and 20-deg slanted bleed slots at three different locations, upstream, across and downstream of the impingement point of an oblique shock of sufficient strength to cause boundary layer separation without bleed. The detailed flow characteristics in the interaction zone and inside the bleed slot are compared for the different bleed slot configurations. The resulting surface pressure and shear stress distributions as well as the boundary layer characteristics downstream of the interaction region are also presented for the mix bleed configurations at different bleed mass flows up to choking.

A parametric study of bleed in shock boundary layer interactions

A numerical investigation was conducted to study the effect of bleed configuration on oblique-shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interactions. Bleed is applied through a normal slot across the shock impingement location. The numerical solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is obtained for the turbulent flow throughout the interaction zone and inside the bleed slot for bleed mass flow rates up to 57 percent of the boundary layer mass flow upstream of the interaction. The results indicate that the bleed slot performance improves as the slot width decreases and the length to width ratio increases. This is reflected as an increase in the bleed discharge coefficient and total pressure, and a reduction in the boundary layer momentum and displacement thickness downstream.

An investigation of shock/turbulent boundary layer bleed interactions

A numerical investigation was conducted to determine the effect of bleed on oblique shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interactions. The numerical solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations reveal the flow details throughout the interaction zone and inside the normal bleed slot. Results are presented for an incident oblique shock of sufficient strength to cause boundary layer separation in the absence of bleed. Bleed is applied across the shock impingement location over a range of bleed mass flow rates corresponding to different values of plenum pressures. The results indicate a complex flow structure with large variations in both normal and tangential flow velocities across the bleed slot. The flow entrainment into the slot is accompanied by an expansion-compression wave system with a bow shock originating inside the bleed slot. Increasing the bleed mass flow by decreasing the plenum pressure caused an initial decrease then a later increase in the boundary layer momentum and displacement thickness downstream of the interaction.
