Flow around a porous cylinder subject to continuous suction or blowing

In the present experimental investigation the surface pressure distribution, vortex shedding frequency, and the wake flow behind a porous circular cylinder are studied when continuous suction or blowing is applied through the cylinder walls. It is found that even moderate levels of suction/blowing (5% of the oncoming streamwise velocity) have a large impact on the flow around the cylinder. Suction delays separation contributing to a narrower wake width, and a corresponding reduction of drag, whereas blowing shows the opposite behaviour. Both uniform suction and blowing display unexpected flow features which are analysed in detail. Suction shows a decrease of the turbulence intensity throughout the whole wake when compared with the natural case, whilst blowing only shows an effect up to five diameters downstream of the cylinder. The drag on the cylinder is shown to increase linearly with the blowing rate, whereas for suction there is a drastic decrease at a specific suction rate. This is shown to be an effect of the separation point moving towards the rear part of the cylinder, similar to what happens when transition to turbulence occurs in the boundary layer on a solid cylinder. The suction/blowing rate can empirically be represented by an effective Reynolds number for the solid cylinder, and an analytical expression for this Reynolds number representation is proposed and verified. Flow visualizations expose the complexity of the flow field in the near wake of the cylinder, and image averaging enables the retrieval of quantitative information, such as the vortex formation length.     

Hydrodynamics of flow over a transversely oscillating circular cylinder beneath a free surface

In this paper, hydrodynamic force coefficients and wake vortex structures of uniform flow over a transversely oscillating circular cylinder beneath a free surface were numerically investigated by an adaptive Cartesian cut-cell/level-set method. At a fixed Reynolds number, 100, a series of simulations covering three Froude numbers, two submergence depths, and three oscillation amplitudes were performed over a wide range of oscillation frequency. Results show that, for a deeply submerged cylinder with sufficiently large oscillation amplitudes, both the lift amplitude jump and the lift phase sharp drop exist, not accompanied by significant changes of vortex shedding timing. The near-cylinder vortex structure changes when the lift amplitude jump occurs. For a cylinder oscillating beneath a free surface, larger oscillation amplitude or submergence depth causes higher time-averaged drag for frequency ratio (=oscillation frequency/natural vortex shedding frequency) greater than 1.25. All near-free-surface cases exhibit negative time-averaged lift the magnitude of which increases with decreasing submergence depth. In contrast to a deeply submerged cylinder, occurrences of beating in the temporal variation of lift are fewer for a cylinder oscillating beneath a free surface, especially for small submergence depth. For the highest Froude number investigated, the lift frequency is locked to the cylinder oscillation frequency for frequency ratios higher than one. The vortex shedding mode tends to be double-row for deep and single-row for shallow submergence. Proximity to the free surface would change or destroy the near-cylinder vortex structure characteristic of deep-submergence cases. The lift amplitude jump is smoother for smaller submergence depth. Similar to deep-submergence cases, the vortex shedding frequency is not necessarily the same as the primary-mode frequency of the lift coefficient. The frequency of the induced free surface wave is exactly the cylinder oscillation frequency. The trends of wave length variation with the Froude number and frequency ratio agree with those predicted by the linear theory of small-amplitude free surface waves.     

Numerical study of the suppression mechanism of vortex-induced vibration by symmetric Lorentz forces

In this paper, the electro-magnetic control of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a circular cylinder is investigated numerically based on the stream function–vorticity equations in the exponential–polar coordinates attached on the moving cylinder for Re=150. The effects of the instantaneous wake geometries and the corresponding cylinder motion on the hydrodynamic forces for one entire period of vortex shedding are discussed using a drag–lift phase diagram. The drag–lift diagram is composed of the upper and lower closed curves due to the contributions of the vortex shedding but is magnified, translated and turned under the action of the cylinder motion. The Lorentz force for controlling the vibration cylinder is classified into the field Lorentz force and the wall Lorentz force. The symmetric field Lorentz force will symmetrize the flow passing over the cylinder and decreases the lift oscillation, which, in turn, suppresses the VIV, whereas the wall Lorentz force has no effect on the lift. The cylinder vibration increases as the work performed by the lift dominates the energy transfer. Otherwise, the cylinder vibration decreases. If the net transferred energy per motion is equal to zero, the cylinder will vibrate steadily or be fixed.     

Frequency effects on lift and drag for flow past an oscillating cylinder

A transversely oscillating cylinder in a uniform flow is modeled to investigate frequency effects of flow-induced wake on lift and drag of the cylinder. Specifically, verified unsteady fluid dynamic simulations using an immersed-boundary method in a fixed Cartesian grid predict the flow structure around the cylinder and reveal how the integration of surface pressure and shear distributions provides lift and drag on the oscillating cylinder. In this study, frequency ranges to be considered are both near and away from the natural frequency of wake vortex shedding. Subsequently, the effects of frequency lock-in, superposition and demultiplication on lift and drag are discussed based on the spectral analysis of time histories of lift and drag.

Effect of vortex shedding in unsteady aerodynamic forces for a low Reynolds number stationary wing at low angle of attack

This study elucidates the relation between wake vortex shedding and aerodynamic force fluctuations for a low Reynolds number wing from time resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV) experimental measurements. The results reveal a periodic lift and drag variation within the shedding cycle and resolve the frequencies of those fluctuations from a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and power spectral density (PSD) analysis. To show the effect of vortex shedding on the body force fluctuations, the evolution of instantaneous aerodynamic forces is compared to the pressure field of the fluid flow and to the vortical structures in the wake of the airfoil. A six step model describing the vortex-force relation is proposed. It shows that changes in lift such as maximum lift and minimum lift are associated with the detachment of a vortex. It also shows that the minimum or local minimum drag value is obtained at the onset formation of a vortex on the airfoil wake. Similarly, the maximum or local maximum drag is obtained at the onset formation of the saddle on the airfoil wake. The model further explains the asymmetry observed in the unsteady drag force evolution. The model can be used to optimize flow control and fluid-structure interaction applications.     

电磁极宽度对圆柱绕流场影响的数值分析

在雷诺数Re=200的情况,利用Maxwell方程直接数值计算表面包覆电极与磁极圆柱体产生的电磁力分布,将其加入到动量方程中,在各种电磁力作用参数和电磁极宽度的组合下,对表面覆盖电磁极圆柱体在弱电解质中的绕流场结构及其升阻力特性进行了数值模拟与分析.结果表明,当电磁极宽度较小时,圆柱体绕流场的分离点越容易接近后驻点,而电磁力对总阻力的影响并不明显,但对压差和摩擦阻力均有明显影响.当电磁极宽度较大时,圆柱体尾部区域越容易产生射流现象,而且总阻力随电磁力作用参数和电磁极宽度增大而减小.在电磁力尚不足以完全抑制周期性涡脱落的情况下,升力幅值随电磁力作用参数增大而减小,但随电磁极宽度则先减小后略有增加,升力脉动频率则均随电磁力作用参数和电磁极宽度增大而增加.研究表明,电磁力可以有效地改善圆柱体绕流场结构,达到减小圆柱体阻力并抑制其脉动升力之目的,因此是圆柱型结构的一种有效流动控制手段.     

Influences of suction and blowing on vortex shedding behind a square cylinder in a channel

The structure of confined wakes behind a square cylinder in a channel subject to a locally uniform suction or blowing at both the channel walls is presented. A pressure based finite-difference technique has been used to solve the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. It is observed that the amplitude of the lift coefficient decreases with increase in the blowing velocity. Coefficients of drag also decrease for the application of uniform blowing and for a suitable value of the blowing parameter, the flow becomes steady and symmetric. The amplitude of the lift coefficients increases up to a certain limit of suction velocity and after that it suddenly decreases and flow becomes steady. Coefficients of drag also gives the same feature. Effects of the suction and blowing on the vortex-shedding region are analyzed in detail and presented graphically.     

虚拟边界法研究正交双圆柱及串列双圆球绕流

把Goldstein等人提出的虚拟边界法推广到三维情况,研究了 Re=150时不同间距下正交双圆柱绕流,和Re=250时不同间距下串列双 圆球绕流流场. 对于正交双圆柱绕流,当间距比大于3,下游圆柱对上游圆柱尾流的影响只 限定在下游圆柱的尾流所扫过的范围之内;当间距比小于等于3,下游圆柱对上游圆柱尾流 的影响扩大,下游圆柱尾流扫过区上下出现两排三维流向二次涡结构. 对于串列圆球绕流, 研究发现,在小间距比(L/D≈ 1.5)的情况下,由于上下游圆球尾流区的相互抑 制消除了压力不稳定性,整个流场呈现稳 态轴对称特征;间距比为2.0时,周向压力梯度诱发出流体的周向输运,流场呈现稳态非对 称性,但流场中存在特定的对称面;间距比增大到2.5后,绕流场开始周期振荡,原有的对 称面依旧存在;在间距比3.5时下游圆球下表面的涡结构强度有所减弱,导致占优频率发生 交替;间距比增至7.0时,整个流场恢复稳态特征,两圆球尾部同时出现双线涡,这时流场 对称面的位置发生了变动.     

Numerical study on the vortex motion patterns around a rotating circular cylinder and their critical characters

A hybrid finite difference and vortex method (HFDV), based on the domain decomposition method (DDM), is used for calculating the flow around a rotating circular cylinder at Reynolds number Re=1000, 200 and the angular‐to‐rectilinear speed ratio α∈(0.5, 3.25) respectively. A fully implicit third‐order eccentric finite difference scheme is adopted in the finite difference method, and the deduced large broad band sparse matrix equations are solved by a highly efficient modified incomplete LU decomposition conjugate gradient method (MILU‐CG). The long‐time, fully developed features about the variations of the vortex patterns in the wake, as well as the drag and lift forces on the cylinder, are given. The calculated streamline contours are in good agreement with the experimentally visualized flow pictures. The existence of the critical state is confirmed again, and the single side shed vortex pattern at the critical state is shown for the first time. Also, the optimized lift‐to‐drag force ratio is obtained near the critical state. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Wake flow pattern modified by small control cylinders at low Reynolds number

Passive wake control behind a circular cylinder in uniform flow is studied by numerical simulation for Re_D ranging from 80 to 300. Two small control cylinders, with diameter d/D=1/8, are placed at x/D=0.5 and y/D=±0.6. Unlike the 1990 results of Strykowski and Sreenivasan, in the present study, the vortex street behind the main cylinder still exists but the fluctuating lift and the form drag on the main cylinder reduces significantly and monotonously as the Reynolds number increases from 80 to 300. Obstruction of the control cylinders to the incoming flow deflects part of the fluid to pass through the gap between the main and control cylinders, forming two symmetric streams. These streams not only eliminate the flow separation along the rear surface of the main cylinder, they also merge toward the wake centerline to create an advancing momentum in the immediate near-wake region. These two effects significantly reduce the wake width behind the main cylinder and lead to monotonous decrease of the form drag as the Reynolds number increases. As the Reynolds number gets higher, a large amount of the downstream advancing momentum significantly delays the vortex formation farther downstream, leading to a more symmetric flow structure in the near-wake region of the main cylinder. As the Reynolds number increases from 80 to 300, both increasing symmetry of the flow structure in the near-wake and significant delay of the vortex formation are the main reasons for the fluctuating lift to decrease monotonously.     

Control of mean and fluctuating forces on a circular cylinder at high Reynolds numbers

A narrow strip is used to control mean and fluctuating forces on a circular cylinder at Reynolds numbers from 2.0 × 10⁴ to 1.0 × 10⁵. The axes of the strip and cylinder are parallel. The control parameters are strip width ratio and strip position characterized by angle of attack and distance from the cylinder. Wind tunnel tests show that the vortex shedding from both sides of the cylinder can be suppressed, and mean drag and fluctuating lift on the cylinder can be reduced if the strip is installed in an effective zone downstream of the cylinder. A phenomenon of mono-side vortex shedding is found. The strip-induced local changes of velocity profiles in the near wake of the cylinder are measured, and the relation between base suction and peak value in the power spectrum of fluctuating lift is studied. The control mechanism is then discussed from different points of view. The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (10172087 and 10472124).

NEURAL NETWORK CONTROL OF VORTEX SHEDDING FROM A CIRCULAR CYLINDER USING ROTATIONAL FEEDBACK OSCILLATIONS

The performance of active control of vortex shedding from a circular cylinder is studied experimentally with rotational feedback oscillations. The optimization of the control parameters, such as the phase lag, the feedback gain, and the position of reference sensor are carried out using neural networks to minimize the reference velocity fluctuations in the cylinder wake. Measurement of pressure distributions over the circular cylinder under the optimum control indicate that the drag force is reduced by 16% and the lift force is suppressed by more than 70% in comparison with the stationary cylinder.

Investigation of turbulent flow past a yawed wavy cylinder

A large eddy simulation (LES) study was conducted to investigate the three-dimensional characteristics of the turbulent flow past wavy cylinders with yaw angles from 0° to 60° at a subcritical Reynolds number of 3900. The relationships between force coefficients and vortex shedding frequency with yaw angles for both wavy cylinders and circular cylinders were investigated. Experimental measurements were also performed for the validation of the present LES results. Comparing with corresponding yawed circular cylinders at similar Reynolds number, significant differences in wake vortex patterns between wavy cylinder and circular cylinder were observed at small yaw angles. The difference in wake pattern becomes insignificant at large yaw angles. The mean drag coefficient and the Strouhal number obey the independence principle for circular cylinders at yaw angle less than 45°, while the independence principle was found to be unsuitable for yawed wavy cylinders. In general, the mean drag coefficients and the fluctuating lift coefficients of a yawed wavy cylinder are less than those of a corresponding yawed circular cylinder at the same flow condition. However, with the increase of the yaw angle, the advantageous effect of wavy cylinder on force and vibration control becomes insignificant.     

Suppression of force fluctuations in flow past an aerofoil

Force fluctuations on a solid body are associated with unsteadiness in the wake, e.g. vortex shedding. Therefore, the control of force fluctuations can be realised by suppressing the flow unsteadiness. A NACA0024 aerofoil closed with a round trailing edge is chosen to represent the solid body throughout this investigation, with the Reynolds number fixed at Re = 1000 and angle of attack α ≤ 15^o, at which the uncontrolled flow is two-dimensional. A linear optimal control is calculated by analysing the distribution of sensitivity of unsteadiness to control around the entire surface of the body. The nonlinear effects of the calculated control, which can be actuated through surface-normal suction and blowing across the surface of the aerofoil, are tested through two-dimensional direct numerical simulations. It is observed that a surface-normal velocity control with a maximum magnitude less than 8% of the free stream velocity completely suppresses unsteadiness at α = 10° with an overall drag reduction of 14% and a 138% increase of lift.     

Wall proximity effects on the effectiveness of upstream control rod

Two dimensional flow over a circular cylinder with an upstream control rod of same diameter is simulated in unbound condition and in wall bounded conditions. The cylinders are placed at various heights from the wall and the inter-distance between cylinders is also varied. The control rod is subjected to different rotation rates. It is found that, in unbound condition, rotating the control rod decreases the critical pitch length (S/D_cr) and increases the drag and Strouhal number of the main cylinder. In presence of plane wall, the shielding provided by the separated shear layers from the control rod in cavity regime is deteriorated due to deflection of shear layers which results in higher drag and large fluctuation of lift coefficient. However, in wake impingement regime, the binary vortices from the control rod are weakened due to diffusion of vorticity and hence, the main cylinder experiences a lower drag and small lift fluctuations than that of unbound condition. The critical height of vortex suppression (H/D_cr) is higher in cavity regime than that of wake impingement regime due to the single extended-bluff body like configuration. The rotation of control rod energizes the wall boundary layer and increases the critical height of vortex suppression. Increasing the rotational rate of control rod decreases the drag force and reduces the amplitude of lift fluctuation. Analysis of the wall shear stress distribution reveals that it suffers a sudden drop at moderate height where the normal Karman vortex shedding changes to irregular shedding consisting of single row of negative vortices. Modal structures obtained from dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) reveal that the flow structures behind the main cylinder are suppressed due to wall and the flow is dominated by the wake of control rod.     

Suppression of lift fluctuations on a circular cylinder by inducing the symmetric vortex shedding mode

The flow around a stationary circular cylinder modified by two synthetic jets positioned at the mean separation points is numerically studied. The Reynolds number based on the free-stream velocity and the circular cylinder diameter is Re=500. The focus is to present a novel way to suppress the lift fluctuations by changing the vortex shedding mode, and thus particular attention is paid to the interactions between the synthetic jets and wake shear layers and the resulting vortex dynamics. The overall influences of both momentum coefficient and excitation frequency are discussed. In some simulated cases, the vortex lock-on phenomenon is discovered, which causes the typical Kàrmàn type vortex shedding to be converted into the symmetric shedding modes, leading to the complete suppression of lift fluctuations. In other cases, the asymmetric shedding mode still dominates the wake evolution. Detailed vortical evolution for each typical wake pattern is analyzed to reveal the control mechanism. Additionally, the control effectiveness is evaluated, indicating that the present control strategy contributes an effective way to suppress the lift fluctuations and reduce the mean drag.
