  • VORTEX GENERATING DEVICE BACKGROUND It is well known that a fluctuation flow field composed of vortices is present in the wake of an object located in a relatively moving fluid. That is, if an object is passing through a fluid, or if the fluid is passing an object, a fluctuating flow field is developed which is composed of vortices which are alternately shed from the sides of the object. This fluctuating flow field is more commonly referred to as a Karman vortex street or trail. As is also known, the rate of generation of vortices in the wake of the object is related to the relative velocity between the " object and the fluid stream. Vortex generators heretofore known in the art include objects having circular, triangular, or rectangular cross-sections.
  • vortex generators have a cross-section with a dimension perpendicular to the direction of flow which is sufficiently large or blunt with respect to the other dimension of the cross-section to produce a stable vortex street.
  • a stable vortex street is produced only when the generator creates a prescribed blockage ratio with respect to the channel.
  • some vortex generators currently marketed preferably operate when blocking 30% of the -2- cross-sectional area of a flow channel.
  • a stagnation region develops on an upstream surface of an object immersed in a relatively moving fluid.
  • the stagnation region constitutes a pressure zone near the upstream surface.
  • the size of the stagnation region, and the magnitude of pressure associated therewith, depends on the configuration of the upstream surface. '
  • the stagnation region tends to shift from side-to-side about the upstream surface, thereby creating pressure differentials which, in turn, effect flow-induced pressure gradients occurring downstream along surfaces of the object. Since the point of detachment of vortices from the immersed object and the timing of the detachment is dependent upon these pressure gradients, the magnitude of the pressure differentials associated with the shifting of the stagnation region is significant.
  • the stagnation region created by the relatively blunt upstream surfaces of existing generators precipitate pressure differentials which cause non-uniformity in the detachment of vortices from the generator. Such non- uniformity results in erroneous measurement of the rate of vortex generation.
  • the geometrical configurations of existing vortex generators also produce large, turbulent wakes. The more turbulent the wake the greater the pressure drag exerted on the generator and the fluid.
  • the pressure drag undesirably effects the velocity of the fluid and the vortices generated at a rate .proportional thereto.
  • the turbulence caused by existing vortex generators has detrimental impact upon the flow measurements.
  • ⁇ j _5 indicate no vortices, or "misses", where vortices should have been detected. (Applicants recognize that vortex "stability" is dependent upon. both the strength of formation of the vortices and the sensitivity of the means used for detection of the vortices. As used
  • Stability pertains to the quality of vortices with reference to a given, or constant, detection means. That is, the production of sufficiently well-formed vortices in a sequence indicative of fluid flow.) The instability of the
  • an object of embodiments of the invention hereinafter described is the provision of a device for generating stable vortices.
  • a further advantage associated with the embodiments of the invention is the accurate measurement of the rate of generation of Karman vortices.
  • viscosity causes the fluid velocity to be zero at points along the surface of generator plates used in the preferred embodiments.
  • the fluid velocity approaches a velocity generally characteristic of the fluid stream.
  • a thin layer of fluid known as the boundary-layer, containing large velocity gradients forms over the surface of the immersed plate.
  • the boundary layer initially starts at practically no thickness at a leading edge of the flat plate (defined with refernce to the direction of fluid flow) . Near the leading edge the flow of the boundary layer is essentially laminar.
  • the boundary layer increases in thickness in a downstream direction as the viscous action increases due to increasing plate area.
  • the particular points along the surface of the flat plate where the transition region occurs are related to the Reynold's number.
  • the Reynold's number at any particular point downstream from the leading edge of the plate is dependent upon -5- both the velocity of the fluid and the distance of that point from the leading edge. It has been observed that the transition region occurs for flat plates in a neighborhood approximating a Reynold's number of 10 . Thus, points along the surface of a flat plate having a Reynold's number in this neighborhood will generally b.e in the boundary-layer transition region.
  • the location of the boundary-layer transition region is not necessarily constant. That is, while a given flat plate may have a transition region associated with a first range of surface points for one velocity of fluid flow, the transition region may shift so as to become associated with a second range of surface points for a second velocity of fluid flow. Regardless of where a boundary-layer transition region is located along the flat plate immersed in the stream of fluid flow, however, the transition region is attended by an erratic frictional drag. This frictional drag has a significant and, owing to its erratic nature, a generally unpredictable impact upon the fluid flow velocity in the transition region.
  • another object of embodiments of this invention is to provide a vortex generating device capable of producing a stable vortex street throughout a range of fluid flow velocities of interest for a given environment.
  • Such embodiments advantageously eliminate the occurrence of the boundary-layer transition region at significant locatons along the generating device where they would otherwise occur for the range of fluid flow velocities of interest.

  • the generator member is oriented upstream parallel to the axis of elongation of the generator plate.
  • the side surfaces of the generator plate can be provided with at least one surface disruption, or discontinuity, such as a radiused slot for generating boundary-layer turbulence in the fluid stream in order to eliminate the occurrence of a boundary layer transition region which might otherwise occur.
