低雷诺数下弹性圆柱体涡激振动及影响参数分析

利用Fluent软件数值求解不可压缩粘性流体的N-S方程,研究均匀来流Re=200时弹性圆柱体的涡激振动.圆柱体运动简化为质量-弹簧-阻尼系统,将Newmark-β方法代码写入用户自定义函数(UDF)求解运动方程,柱体与流体间的非线性耦合作用通过动网格技术实现.详细分析了涡激力系数、柱体位移特征值和尾流涡结构随频率比的变化关系,获得"相位开关"、"拍"等现象.考虑流向振动对横向振动影响时,圆柱体最大横向振幅为0.65倍直径.当固定频率比,而质量比或折合阻尼增大时,圆柱体流向与横向振动均呈非线性衰减趋势,但增大质量比对流向平均位移的偏离起到更好的控制效果.     

Numerical investigation on vortex-induced vibration of an elastically mounted circular cylinder at low Reynolds number using the fictitious domain method

A direct numerical simulation of two-dimensional (2D) flow past an elastically mounted circular cylinder at low Reynolds number using the fictitious domain method had been undertaken. The cylinder motion was modelled by a two degree-of-freedom mass–spring–damper system. The computing code was verified against a benchmark problem in which flow past a stationary circular cylinder is simulated. Then, analyses of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) responses, drag and lift forces and the phase and vortex structures were carried out. Results show that the cylinder's non-dimensional cross-flow response amplitude reaches its summit of 0.572 in the ‘lock-in’ regime. The ‘2S’, instead of the ‘2P’, vortex shedding mode is dominated in the ‘lower’ branch for this 2D low-Re VIV. A secondary oscillation is observed in the lift force when ‘lock-in’ occurs. It is shown that this secondary component changes the phase, offset the energy input by the primary component and thus reduces the cylinder responses. Effects of the Skop–Griffin parameter on cylinder responses were also investigated.     

Numerical investigation of the effect of convex transverse curvature and concave grooves on the turbulent boundary layer along a cylinder in axial flow

Axisymmetric turbulent boundary layers that develop around streamwise oriented long cylinder-like objects can be found in many applications, such as towed array sonars or marine seismic streamers. In many of these applications, turbulent fluctuations within the boundary layer flow can have a negative impact compared with laminar flow conditions. The aim of the present work is to design a surface modification that influences the turbulent boundary layer around a cylinder in axial flow in order to reduce turbulent fluctuations. To design the surface we consider recent findings regarding the turbulence damping effects of groove-like surface structures and combine these insights with the effect of convex transverse curvature on turbulence. We use large-eddy simulations to investigate the flow around a cylinder of modified design and around a reference circular cylinder. Both flows have a radius-based Reynolds number of ${\text{Re}}_a\approx 1.23\cdot 10^4$. The modified design leads to a 20 % decrease in the average wall shear stress and results in local reductions in the turbulent intensities, Reynolds stress, the temporal velocity spectrum, and the turbulent dissipation rate. The analysis within the anisotropy-invariant space reveals a tendency towards flow relaminarization. However, the new design has no effect on turbulent pressure fluctuations. We provide suggestions on how to further improve the surface design to achieve even greater flow stabilization.
