Abstract

Isolated-roughness-induced transitions controlled by local wall heating strips are studied via direct numerical simulation and BiGlobal linear stability analysis. The transition mechanisms are studied first with different wall temperatures. The separated shear layer–counter-rotating vortex system is found to be the main source for transitions. Symmetric and antisymmetric modes are observed in the wake, and the former is dominant. The local wall heating strip can delay the transition, and this effect is enhanced with higher heating temperature, wider strip and a combination of upstream and downstream control strips. The upstream strip lifts up the inlet flow and weakens the wake system in an indirect manner. The antisymmetric mode gradually vanishes, while the symmetric mode always exists but becomes weaker. The downstream strip exhibits a more effective transition delay by directly weakening the separated shear layer and vortex system in the wake. Vorticity transport analysis suggests that the downstream strip increases dissipation for streamwise vorticity and transfers it into wall-normal and spanwise vorticity. BiGlobal analyses indicate that the downstream strip shows less influence on the peak growth rate of the symmetric mode but significantly shrinks its unstable region. Analyses of the disturbance energy production indicate that the upstream strip wakens the wall-normal and spanwise shear at the same time, but the downstream strip mainly wakens the wall-normal one. More simulations are performed with different roughness heights, point-source disturbance and different roughness shapes. The results show that the current method remains effective enough in delaying transitions at a wide range of conditions.
