不同倒角半径柱体绕流数值模拟及水动力特性分析

为研究倒角半径变化对柱体绕流水动力特性的影响,本文使用Fluent软件,采用大涡模拟对雷诺数Re=3 900下的6种不同倒角半径的三维柱体进行了研究。在模型验证基础上,分析了由方柱渐变到圆柱过程中后方流场速度的时均特性及瞬时涡脱落变化规律,给出了不同倒角半径下的升、阻力系数值及无量纲涡脱频率St数。分析结果表明:平均阻力系数随倒角半径的增加而降低,在倒角半径为0.2D时下降速率最大,相较方柱降幅达到50%;升力系数均方根在倒角半径为0.1D~0.2D时变化最显著,减小约93%; St数随倒角半径增加而增大,在倒角半径为0.4D时可达到最大值;回流区长度随倒角半径的增加呈先增大后减小的趋势,其长度在倒角半径为0.2D时达到最大;尾涡宽度在倒角半径为0.0D最大,后随倒角半径增加逐渐下降,且当倒角半径大于0.2D以后变化不大。本文研究结果可为柱体绕流研究及相关工程应用提供参考。     

不同倒角半径下方柱绕流的数值模拟及水动力特性研究

为了研究不同倒角半径对方柱绕流特性的影响,采用有限体积法,模拟了雷诺数Re为22 500、倒角半径为0.1D(D为方柱边长的长度)、0.2D和0.3D时方柱的绕流过程。方柱近壁面采用增强壁面函数,模型采用SST k–?湍流模型。根据模拟结果给出了不同倒角半径下方柱的流场涡量图以及阻力系数Cd和升力系数Cl;利用快速傅里叶变换法得到斯托罗哈数St。结果表明,倒角半径的增加改变了方柱的分离点,使得尾流区长度增加,旋涡尺度减小;Cd和Cl的振动幅值呈现先减小后增大的趋势,倒角半径为0.1D和0.2D时方柱受力较小,不存在倒角时方柱受力较大,倒角半径为0.3D时方柱受力最大;随着倒角半径的增加,柱体截面形式越接近圆形,斯托罗哈数逐渐增大,漩涡脱落频率更快。

Vortex shedding suppression for flow over a circular cylinder near a plane boundary

In this study, the Navier-Stokes equations and the pressure Poisson equation for two-dimensional time-dependent viscous flows are solved with a finite difference method in a curvilinear coordinate system. With this numerical procedure, the vortex shedding flow past a circular cylinder near a wall is investigated. The flow is calculated for a broad range of gap ratios for different Reynolds numbers ranging from 80 to 1000. Based on the numerical solutions, the vortex shedding is observed using various methods, and the mechanism for the vortex shedding suppression at small gap ratios is analyzed. The critical gap ratio at which the vortex shedding is suppressed is identified at different Reynolds numbers.     

Forces on a circular cylinder near a plane wall

The drag and lift force are measured on circular cylinders fitted with end plates in a wind tunnel. The gap between the cylinder and the wall, G, the thickness of the turbulent boundary layer along the wall, δ, and the Reynolds number, Re, are varied in the following ranges: 0 < G/D < 2, 0.12 < δ/D < 0.97 and 4.8 × 10⁴ Re 3 × 10⁵. The lift and drag coefficients are presented in terms of a new variable G/δ.

It is found that the lift coefficient is governed by the gap to diameter ratio G/D while the drag coefficient is dominated by the ratio of gap to thickness of the boundary layer, G/δ.     

Behavior of vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder near a deformable wall with two degrees of freedom in steady flow

The behavior of vortex-induced vibration of a two-degree-of-freedom cylinder near a deformable wall in steady flow is investigated experimentally.The typical phenomenon of the two-degree-of-freedom cylinder’s VIV is discussed.The influences of initial gap between the cylinder and the wall on the dynamic responses of the cylinder are analyzed.The comparison is made about dynamic responses of the cylinder with one and two degrees of freedom.Experimental results show that the vibration of the cylinder near a deformable wall with a small value of initial gap-to-diameter ratios can generally be divided into two phases.The initial gap-to-diameter ratios have a noticeable influence on the occurrence of transverse vibration.The transverse maximum amplitude of the cylinder with two degrees of freedom is larger than that of the cylinder with one degree of freedom under the condition with the same values of other parameters.However,the vibration frequency of the cylinder for the two degrees of freedom case is smaller than that for the one degree of freedom case at the same value of Vr number.     

Comparison of flow patterns in the near wake of a circular cylinder and a square cylinder placed near a plane wall

The flow patterns in the near wake of a cylinder (either circular or square in shape, D=25 mm) placed in the proximity of a fully developed turbulent boundary layer (thickness δ=0.4D) are investigated experimentally using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The effects of changing the gap height (S) between the cylinder bottom and the wall surface, over the gap ratio range S/D=0.1–1.0, have been investigated. The results show that both the ensemble-averaged and instantaneous flow fields are strongly dependent on S/D. The flow patterns for the two types of cylinders share many similarities with respect to the change in S/D, such as the reduced recirculation length and increased velocity fluctuation in the near wake with increasing S/D, as well as the trend of suppression of vortex shedding at small S/D and onset of vortex shedding at large S/D. However, developments of the shear layers, in terms of wake width, flow curvature, etc., are considerably different for these two types of cylinders. In general, the wake development and momentum exchange for the square cylinder are slower those for the circular cylinder at the same gap ratio. Correspondingly, it is shown that the periodic vortex shedding is delayed and weakened in the case of square cylinder, as compared to that of the circular cylinder at the same S/D.     

Three-dimensional flow around a square cylinder near a wall

In this study, two- and three-dimensional numerical simulations were performed to investigate the effect of the flow structure in the wake of a square cylinder placed near a plane wall by applying a fully implicit finite-difference method to the Navier-Stokes equations. The gap ratio between the cylinder and the wall, G/D, was varied from 0.2 to 4 for the Reynolds numbers of 175, 185 and 250. The role of the 3D structure on the lift and drag coefficients and Strouhal number was investigated. The results were compared with those of the 2D numerical simulations. The deviations of the 3D flow structure of the cylinder-wall pair from that of a single cylinder were also reported. At Re=250, B type secondary vortices were determined in the wake region. At Re=175 and 185, transition from A type vortex to fully periodic B type vortices was observed when the cylinder was brought closer to the wall.

Numerical simulation of solitary wave scattering by a circular cylinder array

The interaction of a solitary wave with an array of surface-piercing vertical circular cylinders is investigated numerically. The wave motion is modeled by a set of generalized Boussinesq equations. The governing equations are discretized using a finite element method. The numerical model is validated against the experimental data of solitary wave reflection from a vertical wall and solitary wave scattering by a vertical circular cylinder respectively. The predicted wave surface elevation and the wave forces on the cylinder agree well with the experimental data. The numerical model is then employed to study solitary wave scattering by arrays of two circular cylinders and four circular cylinders respectively. The effect of wave direction on the wave forces and the wave runup on the cylinders is quantified.
