In turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, the injection of bubbles reduces the overall drag. On the other hand, rough walls enhance the overall drag. In this work, we inject bubbles into turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with rough walls (with a Reynolds number up to 4 x 10(5), finding an enhancement of the dimensionless drag as compared to the case without bubbles. The dimensional drag is unchanged. As in the rough-wall case no smooth boundary layers can develop, the results demonstrate that bubbly drag reduction is a pure boundary layer effect.
在湍流泰勒-库埃特流中,注入气泡会降低整体阻力。另一方面,粗糙壁面会增大整体阻力。在这项研究中,我们将气泡注入到具有粗糙壁面的湍流泰勒-库埃特流中(雷诺数高达4×10⁵),发现与无气泡的情况相比,无量纲阻力有所增大。有量纲阻力则保持不变。由于在粗糙壁面的情况下不会形成光滑边界层,结果表明气泡减阻是一种纯粹的边界层效应。
