Abstract:
We present spectral analysis modal methods (SAMMs) to perform POD in the frequency domain using non-time-resolved particle image velocity (PIV) data combined with unsteady surface pressure measurements. In particular, time-resolved unsteady surface pressure measurements are synchronized with non-time-resolved planar PIV measurements acquired at 15 Hz in a Mach 0.6 cavity flow. Leveraging the spectral linear stochastic estimation (LSE) method of Tinney et al. (Exp Fluids 41:763–775, 2006), we first estimate the cross-correlations between the velocity field and the unsteady pressure sensors via sequential time shifts, followed by a Fast Fourier transform to obtain the pressure–velocity cross spectral density matrix. This leads to a linear multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) model that determines the optimal transfer functions between the input cavity wall pressure and the output velocity field. Two variants of SAMMs are developed and applied. The first, termed “SAMM-SPOD”, combines the MIMO model with the SPOD algorithm of Towne et al. (J Fluid Mech, https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2018.283, 2018). The second, called “SAMM-RR”, adds independent sources and uses a sorted eigendecomposition of the input pressure cross-spectral matrix to enable an efficient reduced-rank eigendecomposition of the velocity cross-spectral matrix. In both cases, the resulting rank-1 POD eigenvalues associated with the Rossiter frequencies exhibit very good agreement with those obtained using independent time-resolved PIV measurements. The results demonstrate that SAMMs provide a methodology to perform space-time POD without requiring a high-speed PIV system, while avoiding potential pitfalls associated with traditional time-domain LSE.
