Abstract
Direct numerical simulations of binary-species temporal boundary layers at high pressure are performed. The main objective is to investigate the influence of the Soret effect on flow physics of binary-species boundary layers where the fluid has a uniform composition. The working fluid is a mixture of 25 % methane and 75 % nitrogen in mass fraction. Although the fluid composition is uniform at the initial condition, the mass fraction of methane increases near the wall when the wall temperature is hotter than the free stream temperature, whereas it decreases when the wall temperature is colder. The non-uniform mass fraction indicates that the uphill diffusion occurs near the wall. Investigation of fluctuations of the mass fraction reveals that the mass fraction fluctuates in the whole boundary layer, indicating that the uphill diffusion occurs even far from the wall. Examination of the species-mass diffusion balance for mean flow fields clarified that the Soret effect flux becomes large near the wall, and the large flux causes the non-uniform profile of the mass fraction near the wall.
