Abstract

An improved resolvent analysis is proposed in the regime of compressible turbulent boundary layers. To better model nonlinear processes in the input, the resolvent framework is augmented by adding eddy viscosity. To this end, we propose two eddy-viscosity models: a modified Cess eddy-viscosity model coupling the compressibility transformation and outer-layer correction, and a new eddy-viscosity model based on an empirical relationship and mixing-length theory. Both are incorporated into the resolvent operator to examine the performance of the eddy-viscosity-improved resolvent-based reduced-order modelling. Results of the augmented resolvent analysis are compared qualitatively and quantitatively with the first leading mode of spectral proper orthogonal decomposition, by checking the profiles and cross-spectral densities of velocities, density and temperature in two hypersonic turbulent boundary layers under different wall conditions. Higher accuracy of the turbulence prediction is achieved by adding the proposed eddy-viscosity models, particularly for the energetic cycle in the outer-layer region where strong nonlinear energy transfer exists.
