Nature of the source of vortex sound flowing around a cylindrical profile

This paper is devoted to refining the nature of a vortex sound source and validly estimating the parameters of the region of source origination in a wake behind a cylindrical profile depending on the incoming flow velocity and profile diameter. Based on experimental measurements of the rms values of pressure pulsations on the surface and in the wake behind the profile and hydrodynamic laws for 2D fluid flows, the position of the origin of the vortex street in the wake and the size of the region where the street is still irregular are estimated. In this region, the street dimensions and pressure pulsation amplitudes change with distance from the profile. It is found that the maximum of the pressure pulsation in the wake approaches the profile surface in the range of Reynolds numbers (4.7 × 10³?1.5 × 10⁴); the amplitude of pressure pulsations on the profile and vortex sound intensity also increase. Based on the relationship between the source’s position and size and the width of the vortex street, as well as taking into account the decay of vortex circulation in the street with increasing distance to the profile, it is shown that the distance from the source to the surface of the profile should not exceed two gages. It is shown that an obstacle in the wake in the region of its irregularity causes a decrease in pressure pulsations on the profile and attenuation of emitted sound. Sound emission ceases completely when the obstacle comes in direct contact with the region of origination of the vortex street. Theoretical estimates satisfactorily agree with the measurement results.

Remote acoustic diagnostics of a wake behind a heated cylinder

The possibilities of remote acoustic diagnostics of flows are experimentally and theoretically studied. A Karman vortex street behind a cylinder is used as a model. The vortex temperature exceeded that of the surrounding medium. A laboratory experiment carried out in a low-turbulence wind tunnel at Re100 has shown that vorticity, stall rate, spatial period, and vortex temperature can be found from the characteristics of sound scattered by the flow.Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Nizhny Novgorod.

On vortex streets behind Taylor columns

Computer experiments were performed to explore the flow in the vicinity of a truncated normal flat plate in a rapidly rotating fluid. A Taylor column formed above the flat plate and the vortex shedding in the wake of the Taylor column closely resembled the vortex street behind the solid plate. This is probably the first observation of a Kármán vortex street behind a Taylor column in a computational study.     

Stable periodic vortex shedding studied using computational fluid dynamics, laser sheet flow visualization, and MR imaging

Recirculating and detached flow patterns close to the carotid bifurcation are thought to play an important role in the development of carotid stenoses by promoting atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate a flow regime with strong transient characteristics, including vortex shedding and transport to develop methodologies appropriate to the analysis of carotid stenoses. The existence of a regular periodic vortex street behind a cylindrical flow obstruction was predicted and analysed in detail by Theodore van Karman in the early 20th century. This model was chosen in our study for both ease of phantom construction and of theoretical modelling using finite element computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results of the theoretical calculations have been compared with two methods of flow visualization-laser sheet imaging and real-time echo planar magnitude MR imaging. Flow was investigated over a range of Reynold's number from 40 through 400 through which vortex shedding is predicted. Good overall agreement was obtained between the theoretical (16 mm-CFD) and experimental (16+/-2 mm-Laser, 17+/-2 mm-MRI) estimates of the Karman Vortex street wavelength for a Reynolds number of 200.     

Controlling wake turbulence

This Letter introduces a control strategy for taming the wake turbulence behind a cylinder. An angular momentum injection scheme is proposed to synchronize the vertical velocity field. We show that the base suction, wake formation length, absolute instability, and the Kármán vortex street are effectively controlled by the angular momentum injection. A control equation is designed to implement the injection. The Navier-Stokes equations, along with the control equation, are solved. The occurrence of a new recirculation free zone is identified.     

On the influence of the Reynolds number on the intensity of vortex sound flowing around a cylindrical profile

Regularities of the emission of vortex sound (eolian tone) during air flow around stationary and rotating cylindrical profiles have been investigated. The influence of the flow Reynolds number on the intensity of vortex sound emission has been estimated from results of measuring the pressure fluctuation distribution on the surface of stationary cylindrical rods flowed around by air, as well as in the wake behind them. It is shown that the emission intensity depends on the location of the point of flow detachment from the profile surface and the track width near the profile. The ranges of the flow Reynolds numbers where the emission intensity increases with different flow velocities have been determined by analyzing the dependence of the profile lift coefficient on the Reynolds number. An independent way of determining the profile lift coefficient by measuring the vortex sound intensity is proposed. The results explain contradictions between the results of some authors, who experimentally observed different dependences of emission intensity on the flow velocity. The influence of the profile diameter on the vortex sound emission intensity has been investigated. The boundary Reynolds number above which the profile diameter does not affect emission has been established for stationary and rotating cylindrical profiles. It is shown that deposition of rough coatings on the rod surface may reduce the vortex sound emission intensity by affecting the point of flow detachment from the surface.

Effect of external actions on the characteristics of vortex sound

The dependence of the characteristics of vortex sound caused by an air flow around a rigid cylinder on various factors, including the turbulence of the incident flow, the inhomogeneity of the cylinder surface, and the sound radiation of an external source, is experimentally investigated. Measurements have made it possible to specify the mechanism of vortex sound radiation under the action of external factors, to relate the radiation intensity and the drag to the type of air flow around the body, and to propose possible ways of reducing the vortex sound radiation intensity.

Acoustic waves emitted by a vortex ring passing near a circular cylinder

Acoustic waves emitted by a vortex ring moving near a circular cylinder have been studied experimentally and theoretically. The vortex rings used in the experiments had a translational speed ν₀ in the range 26 ⪅ ν₀ ⪅ 58 m/s and a radius of about 4·7 mm comparable in size with the cylinder radius. The acoustic pressure signals were detected by four microphones in the far field, and analyzed by digital methods. The observed pressure p obeys the scaling law p ∞ ν₀³L⁻⁴, where L is the impact distance of the vortex path to the cylinder. The observed sound wave is of dipole radiation type, and the direction of the dipole axis rotates as the vortex position changes relative to the cylinder. The direction of the dipole axis is related to that of the normal to the plane of the vortex ring. The instantaneous resultant force exerted on the cylinder by the vortex motion has also been examined, and the magnitude and the direction determined experimentally as a function of time. The theory of vortex sound predicts that the wave profile is proportional to the second time derivative of the volume flux (of a hypothetical potential flow around the cylinder) through the vortex ring. The observed scaling law and dipole directivity of the pressure are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The pressure profiles are calculated by using the observed vortex motion. These profiles also agree well with the observed ones, confirming the validity of the theory.     

Vortex generation in the cross-flow around a cylinder attached to an end-wall

A cylinder attached to an end-wall normal to its axis is a common feature of many practical flow systems, e.g. in turbo-machinery or when a bridge is supported by a pillar from the bed of a river. In this situation, the nominally two-dimensional boundary layer flow incident upon the cylinder develops strong three-dimensional features and a very pronounced vortex structure may arise in the upstream flow close to the wall. For the appropriate Reynolds number range, the upstream vortical structure is nominally steady and is commonly referred to as the “horseshoe vortex system”. In contrast, the flow downstream is unsteady and periodic over a wide range of Reynolds numbers and vortices aligned with the cylinder axis are shed at a regular frequency into the wake. The generation of both these vortex systems requires energy to be extracted from the incident flow with the result that the drag force on the cylinder is increased.This paper concentrates on the upstream region of the cylinder and discusses an investigation in which two-component Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has been used to visualise the flow behaviour for a circular cylinder on a plane end-wall. The use of PIV has enabled two orthogonal velocity components to be measured in planes defined by the upstream flow direction and the axis of the cylinder. The third (out-of-plane) velocity component was then calculated by integrating the continuity equation. Subsequently, the velocity field information has been manipulated and converted into time-averaged information.Discussion of the measured results confirms that colour displays are an invaluable aid to understanding this complex fluid flow situation since they reveal substantially more information than grey-scale plots of the same data. In particular, the source of the horseshoe vortex system can be identified when colour plots of the time-averaged velocity and vorticity distributions are obtained. A limited amount of information on the unsteady vortex structures appearing in the end-wall region upstream of the cylinder is also presented. Finally, the experimental findings are discussed in relation to the results of previous workers.     

Flow characterization using a laser Doppler vibrometer

This paper shows how a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), an instrument designed to measure vibrations of structures or objects, can be used in a non-traditional fashion to measure the flow around a cylinder. In particular the von Karmann vortex street which appears in the cylinder wake will be visualized. This is achieved by measuring the changes in the optical path induced by local fluctuation of air refraction index to which the laser vibrometer is sensitive.The measurements obtained with the LDV will be compared visually to measurements done with particle image velocimetry and also with CFD computations for one test case. The specific frequency of the Von Karmann street predicted by the vibrometer, will be compared numerically to the other techniques for two different sized cylinders at three different velocities.     

Coherence and Reynolds stresses in the turbulent wake behind a curved circular cylinder

The turbulent wake behind a curved circular cylinder is investigated based on data obtained from a direct numerical simulation. Here, emphasis is placed in the assessment of two approaches for simplified modelling: reduced-order modelling (ROM) and Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. To this end, the instantaneous vortical structures, the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the flow, and relevant Reynolds stress components have been analysed. The results show that despite the complexity of the instantaneous vortical structures, the wake dynamics are governed by the quasi-periodic shedding of primary vortices. Between 24% and 50% of the kinetic energy in the POD is captured by the two most energetic modes, and about 200 modes are needed to capture 90% of the kinetic energy. These findings suggest that, as long as the large-scale structures of the von Kármán vortex shedding are concerned, the present case can be approached by ROM; but a detailed representation of the flow dynamics without an eddy viscosity model that accounts for the unresolved turbulent fluctuations would require a large amount of degrees of freedom. Concerning the Reynolds stresses, their magnitude varies considerably depending on the depth at which they have been sampled. This dependence is related to the strength of the vortex shedding, and the intensity of the secondary flows induced by the curvature of the cylinder. As a consequence of the combination of these two effects, the correlation between streamwise and vertical velocity fluctuations is highest in the wake behind the midspan of the curved cylinder, and the correlation between cross-flow and vertical velocity fluctuations reaches large values in the lower wake.     

Viscous near-wall flow in a wake of circular cylinder at moderate Reynolds numbers

Here we present the results of experimental investigation of a cross flow around a circular cylinder mounted near the wall of a channel with rectangular cross section. The experiments were carried out in the range of Reynolds numbers corresponding to the transition to turbulence in a wake of the cylinder. Flow visualization and SIV-measurements of instantaneous velocity fields were carried out. Evolution of the flow pattern behind the cylinder and formation of the regular vortex structures were analyzed. It is shown that in the case of flow around the cylinder, there is no spiral motion of fluid from the side walls of the channel towards its symmetry plane, typical of the flow around a spanwise rib located on the channel wall. The laminar-turbulent transition in the wake of the cylinder is caused by the shear layer instability.     

A numerical study of transient flow around a cylinder and aerodynamic sound radiation

The fully 3D turbulent incompressible flow around a cylinder and in its wake at a Reynolds number Re = = 9×10⁴ based on the cylinder diameter and Mach number M = 0.1 is calculated using Large Eddy Simulations (LES). Encouraging results are found in comparison to experimental data for the fluctuating lift and drag forces. The acoustic pressure in far-field is commutated through the surface integral formulation of the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FWH) equation in acoustic analogy. Five different sound sources, the cylinder wall and four permeable surfaces in the flow fields, are employed. The spectra of the sound pressure are generally in quantitative agreement with the measured one though the acoustic sources are pseudo-sound regarding the incompressible flow simulation. The acoustic component at the Strouhal number related to vortex shedding has been predicted accurately. For the broad band sound, the permeable surfaces in the near wake region give qualitative enough accuracy level of predictions, while the cylinder wall surface shows a noticeable under-prediction. The sound radiation of the volumetric sources based on Lighthill tensors at vortex shedding is also studied. Its far-field directivity is of lateral quadrupoles with the weak radiations in the flow and cross-flow directions.     

Acoustic testing of the vortex structure produced by an air flow about an array of cylinders

Results of experiments on the scattering of a plane ultrasonic wave from a vortex wake formed in an air flow behind a lattice of vertical cylinders are presented. The lattice is periodic in the direction perpendicular to the oncoming flow. The experiments are performed in a wind tunnel for two values of the Reynolds number, namely, Re = 75 and 500, and for lattices with different numbers of cylinders and with different lattice periods g = (2.5–15)d (where d is the diameter of the cylinders). The measured parameters of the scattered waves are used to estimate the degree of transverse correlation between the vortex wakes formed behind the cylinders for flows with different Reynolds numbers. The results obtained from an analysis of the characteristics of the scattered sound are compared with the results of direct hot-wire anemometer measurements and with the data obtained by other researchers.     

PIV measurements on the change of the three-dimensional wake structures by an air spoiler of a road vehicle

The three-dimensional vortical structures formed in the wake behind a road vehicle were measured using a particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique and the change of the structures by the existence of an air spoiler was investigated. The measurements were carried out in severalx-y, y-z andz-x planes to obtain full three-dimensional flow fields, including an out-of-plane velocity component, obtained by interpolating the velocities in the other plane. Then, the velocity gradient tensor is evaluated to obtain the vortex core by theλ ₂-definition. The relationship between streamwise, longitudinal and spanwise vortices is systematically analyzed by overlapping the vortex lines and vortex cores and the whole flow topology is compared in both cases with and without an air spoiler. As a result, an air spoiler was found to weaken the C-pillar vortices producing strong wing tip vortices, which reduce downwash flow and longitudinal vortices increase in the vertical direction. The recirculation zone formed when an air spoiler is installed is higher and narrower than without a spoiler.
