“…In this regard, the study of jet impingement is particularly relevant for assessing the impact that near-ground operations of such aircraft have on the surrounding environment (Wu et al 2016;Cárdenas et al 2020). Impinging jets play also a significant role in geophysical phenomena such as the scouring due to liquid streams impacting on a solid bed (Dong et al 2020).…”
The study reports direct numerical simulations of a turbulent jet impinging onto smooth and rough surfaces at Reynolds number Re = 10,000 (based on the jet mean bulk velocity and diameter). Surface roughness is included in the simulations using an immersed boundary method. The deflection of the flow after jet impingement generates a radial wall-jet that develops parallel to the mean plate surface. The wall-jet is structured into an inner and an outer layer that, in the limit of infinite local Reynolds number, resemble a turbulent boundary layer and a free-shear flow. The investigation assesses the self-similar character of the mean radial velocity and Reynolds stresses profiles scaled by inner and outer layer units for varying size of the roughness topography. Namely the usual viscous units $$u_\tau$$
u
τ
and $$\delta _\nu$$
δ
ν
are used as inner layer scales, while the maximum radial velocity $$u_m$$
u
m
and its wall-normal location $$z_m$$
z
m
are used as outer layer scales. It is shown that the self-similarity of the mean radial velocity profiles scaled by outer layer units is marginally affected by the span of roughness topographies investigated, as outer layer velocity and length reference scales do not show a significantly modified behavior when surface roughness is considered. On the other hand, the mean radial velocity profiles scaled by inner layer units show a considerable scatter, as the roughness sub-layer determined by the considered roughness topographies extends up to the outer layer of the wall-jet. Nevertheless, the similar character of the velocity profiles appears to be conserved despite the profound impact of surface roughness.
