Outline • Background and motivations • Experimental set up: wall pressure fluctuations + time resolved PIV • Results and physical interpretations • Future perspectives
TBL separation and wall pressure fluctuations • Steps and geometrical irregularities are recognized as potential sources of aerodynamically generated noise; • The subject is of great interest from the viewpoint of practical and basic research applications; • Fluid dynamic and aeroacoustic complexity of the phenomenon, due to the presence of fluctuating pressure connected to both acoustic and pseudo acoustic contribution.
Geometrical irregularities Backward-facing step (BFS) Efimtsov et al., 2000 Lee & Sung, JFM 2003 …. Forward-facing step (FFS) Efimtsov et al. (1999) Leclerq et al. (2001) • Strong noise sourceat 5-6H, corresponding to the oscillating reattachment point of the flow • Noise 20 dB greater than the flat plate • Strong noise source: where? • Noise 30 dB greater than the flat plate
The shallow cavity studies(Camussi et al., JSV 2006, Exp. Fl. 2006) • The reattachment point at 5-6H and the FFS vertical wall are the most important noise emitting sources • The FFS is the noisiest zone Sound Pseudo-sound
Literature background • Efimtzov et al. (1999) studied wall pressure spectra downstream and upstream a FFS: they found that the most noisy region is just downstream the FFS • Leclerq et al. (2001) characterized a FFS-BFS sequence: they found that the largest SPL peaks are upstream the FFS Few works and contrasting results!
Objectives of the present study • Understand the physical mechanisms underlying the observed wall pressure statistics (understand → control) Hydrodynamic? Acoustic? • Correlate wall pressure pointwise measurements with PIV velocity fields

Examples of averaged velocity fields Separations and reattachments upstream and downstream of the step
Averaged fields upstream of the step: streamlines and vorticity • Upstream separation point: xr h [Leclercq et al.: xr 0,8 h] • Reattachment at the vertical wall: • hr 0,5 h • [Leclercq et al.: hr 0,6 h] hr Reh = 4400 U∞ = 0,25 m/s xr
Averaged fields upstream of the step: streamlines and vorticity • Upstream separation point: xr h [Leclercq et al.: xr 0,8 h] • Reattachment at the vertical wall: • hr 0,5 h • [Leclercq et al.: hr 0,6 h] • xr and hr about constant with Re hr Reh = 17500 U∞ = 1 m/s xr
Averaged fields upstream of the step: vorticty and li structures Reh= 4400 Same behaviour for different Re
Wall pressure fluctuations upstream of the step: auto-spectra What we may expect? • Far from the step: quasi-equilibrium conditions inducing a power law with -1 exponent as an effect of turbulent structures in the outer layer (Bradshaw, 1967, Farabee & Casarella, 1991) • Close to the step: recirculation region with no advection effects – the classical -7/3 exponent should be present

Averaged fields downstream of the step: streamlines and vorticity • reattachment at xb 2,5 h • xb about constant with Re • Mohesen: xb 22,5 h • Leclercq et al.: xb 3,2 h • Farabee & Casarella: xb 34 h Reh = 4400 U∞ = 0,25 m/s xb

Wall pressure fluctuations downstream of the step: auto-spectra • The slope decreases from -2.5 to -2 (in agreement with Leclerq et al.) - 2,5 - 2,5 U
Wall pressure fluctuations downstream of the step: auto-spectra • The slope decreases from -2.5 to -2 (in agreement with Leclerq et al.) - 2 - 2 U
Overall sound pressure level Maximum noise level • SPL increases close to the wall • Same trend for different Reynolds numbers U
Wall pressure fluctuations : further issues • Cross-correlations reveal acoustic (peak at 0 time shift due to the very high speed of sound) and hydrodynamic perturbations • The hydrodynamic convection velocity varies from 0,5 0,7 U∞ both upstream and downstream the step: the lowest magnitudes occur in the recirculation regions
Conclusions and future perspectives • An extensive data base has been generated: preliminary results clarify the overall dynamics • The Reynolds number seems to have a weak influence upon the separation/reattachment points • Wall pressure spectra reflect the influence of the recirculation regions as well as the hydrodynamic advection • The SPL reveals that the most noisy region is located downstream the step at the reattachment region! • Pressure-PIV data analysis: conditional analysis and ensemble averages would clarify the physical nature of the observed large SPL (also by the application of signal-processing advanced methodologies: Wavelet transform & POD)
