Parameter Influence on Porous Bleed Performance for Supersonic Turbulent Flows
Abstract
Porous bleed systems are a common technique to control shock-boundary layer interactions and/or supersonic boundary layers. However, the influence of various design parameters is still unknown. Even though bleed models are required to minimize the costs of the design process, they often do not include parameter effects. In the present study, the effect of the plate length, the hole diameter, the porosity, the thickness-to-diameter ratio, and the stagger angle are investigated by means of three-dimensional RANS simulations. The bleed efficiency and the effectiveness in thinning a Mach M = 1.6 turbulent boundary layer are determined. The findings show a crucial influence of the hole diameter on both efficiency and effectiveness of the porous bleed. Similar findings are made for the porosity and stagger angle but with a smaller significance. Thickness-to-diameter ratio and plate length are shown to mainly affect the bleed efficiency.
