串列双圆柱体绕流特性与互扰效应研究

基于大涡模拟(LES)方法对亚临界雷诺数(Re=3900)下三维串列双圆柱体绕流问题进行了数值计算。首先,通过求解单圆柱算例来验证计算模型及参数的正确性。然后,着重分析了不同间距比对双圆柱体的流体力系数的影响,并阐述了双圆柱体流场特性变化及其互扰效应内在机理。研究表明:雷诺数Re=3900时,串列双圆柱体绕流临界间距比在3.9～4.0之间;随着间距比的增加,双圆柱体临近流场中二次涡团形成的区域与三维涡结构均会发生变化,导致其结构表面所受的流体力系数在时间与空间上变化的规律性逐渐减弱;达到临界间距比时,流体力系数的变化会呈现出较强的规律性。

基于任意拉格朗日-欧拉方法,将四步半隐式特征线分裂算子有限元与动网格技术相结合,并发展了一种求解流致振动问题的算法。首先,通过求解文献中经典涡激振动算例来验证本文方法的正确性;然后,着重分析了雷诺数Re=160与间距比Lx/D=5.5工况,折减速度与剪切率两个关键参数对串列排布双圆柱两自由度流致运动特性的影响。计算结果表明:随折减速度的增加,上游圆柱振幅变化与单圆柱工况一致;但是,下游圆柱顺流向振幅的变化较为剧烈,且横流向的振幅曲线中会出现两个峰值。随剪切率的增加,双圆柱体两个方向的频率锁定区间会扩大,尤其对顺流向的振幅影响较大。另外,双圆柱体的运动轨迹以‘8’字形与‘O’形为主。最后,分析了剪切来流对双圆柱体之间互扰机制的影响,以及下游圆柱的涡致动力响应特征所发生的变化。     

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.     

高雷诺数下多柱绕流特性研究

采用改进的延迟分离涡方法数值模拟了高雷诺数下的柱体绕流,包括单圆柱绕流、单方柱绕流、串列双圆柱绕流和串列双方柱绕流,研究了不同雷诺数下圆柱绕流与方柱绕流的水动力特性.计算结果与实验数据及其他文献的数值计算结果吻合良好,研究表明,单方柱绕流在2.0×10~3Re1.0×10~7范围内未出现类似于单圆柱绕流的阻力危机现象,其平均阻力系数C_d、升力系数均方根C'_1及斯特劳哈尔数S t维持在一定范围内波动.串列双圆柱绕流与串列双方柱绕流中,均选取L/D=2.0,2.5,3.0,3.5和4.0这五中间距比进行计算.串列双圆柱绕流中,当Re=2.2×10~4时,在3.0L/D3.5内存在一临界间距比(L_c/D)使得L_c/D前后上下游圆柱的升阻力系数发生跳跃性变化,且当L/DL_c/D时,下游圆柱的阻力系数为负数.而当Re=3.0×10~6时,则不存在临界间距比,且下游圆柱的阻力系数始终为正数.串列双方柱绕流在Re=1.6×10~4和Re=1.0×10~6两种工况下的临界间距比分别处于3.0L/D3.5和3.5L/D4.0区间内,且当L/DL_c/D时,两个雷诺数下的下游方柱阻力系数均为负数.     

双圆柱绕流特性的模拟研究

采用格子Boltzmann方法对低雷诺数下气体绕流圆柱的规律进行了研究. 对比计算了双圆柱在不同圆心距、不同Re数、不同来流速度与双圆柱圆心连线角度的情况下,各个圆柱的受力大小和曳力系数. 结果表明,若Re数为20, 改变圆柱间距,圆柱间距在1.2d和1.4d之间时,下游圆柱所受曳力有极小值;双圆柱间距为1.6d时,双圆柱受到总曳力最小;圆柱间距大于2d时,上游颗粒受到的曳力不再受到下游颗粒的影响. 若圆柱间距为1.2d, 改变雷诺数,Re数在30和40之间,下游圆柱所受曳力有极小值. 另外,来流速度角度对圆柱的受力影响很大. 上述规律为低Re数下圆柱绕流的深入研究与应用打下基础.      

相同雷诺数下串列双圆柱绕流的仿真分析

为研究均匀水流场中串列排布的柱群之间的干涉影响,本文以三维串列双圆柱为例,通过计算流体力学(CFD)软件FLUENT15.0中双方程k-ε模型,分析模拟了双圆柱所受平均阻力、平均升力、后柱周向压力、斯特劳哈尔数等水动力特性。结果表明:在雷诺数为Re=2×10~4的串列双圆柱绕流中,两圆柱中心间距L与圆柱直径D的比值为L/D=4时,后柱受前柱绕流尾流影响大,明显高于单圆柱绕流的平均阻力系数,后柱的周向压力值也随前柱尾流的摆动呈现显著的不对称性;当L/D=8时,前柱绕流尾流对后柱影响逐渐减弱;当L/D=12时,两圆柱之间的相互干扰几乎可以忽略,可以看作是相互独立的单圆柱绕流。最后,计算的斯特劳哈尔数与单圆柱绕流对应的斯特劳哈尔数相近且仿真数值在计算数值范围之内,验证了整个仿真分析的准确性,也进一步说明了双圆柱绕流的柱群的干涉影响。双圆柱间距越大,前、后柱之间的干涉影响越弱。

基于浸入边界-格子Boltzmann通量求解法,开展了雷诺数Re=100不同几何参数下单椭圆柱及串列双椭圆柱绕流流场与受力特性对比研究。结果表明,随长短轴比值的增加,单椭圆柱绕流阻力系数先减小后缓慢上升,最大升力系数则随长短轴比值的增大而减小;尾迹流动状态从周期性脱落涡到稳定对称涡。间距是影响串列圆柱及椭圆柱流场流动状态的主要因素,间距较小时,串列圆柱绕流呈周期性脱落涡状态,而椭圆柱则为稳定流动;随着间距增加,上下游圆柱及椭圆柱尾迹均出现卡门涡街现象,且串列椭圆柱临界间距大于串列圆柱。串列椭圆柱阻力的变化规律与圆柱的基本相同,上游平均阻力大于下游阻力;上游椭圆柱阻力随着间距的变大先减小,下游随间距的变大而增加,当间距达到临界间距时上下游阻力跃升,随后出现小幅度波动再逐渐增加,并趋近于相同长短轴比值下单柱体绕流的阻力。

平面剪切来流作用下串列布置三圆柱流致运动特性研究

基于四步半隐式特征线分裂算子有限元方法,对Re=100时,剪切来流作用下串列三圆柱体双自由度流致振动问题进行了数值计算. 首先,与现有文献结果进行对比验证该方法的正确性. 然后,着重分析剪切率、固有频率比和折减速度三个关键参数对串列三圆柱体结构流致动力响应及流场特性的影响. 数值计算结果表明:剪切率、固有频率比与折减速度对结构振幅和运动轨迹的影响较大. 随剪切率的增大,上游圆柱最大振幅的变化与单圆柱工况类似. 中下游圆柱最大振幅会增大且会出现双向共振现象,同时,发生共振响应区域会扩大. 随固有频率比的增大,上游圆柱顺流向锁定区间范围会减小,而中下游圆柱双向锁定区间会扩大. 另一方面,均匀来流作用下,结构运动轨迹以"8"字形和不规则形状为主. 随剪切率的增大,锁定区间内运动轨迹会由"8"字形转变为"雨滴"形. 在大剪切率与高固有频率比工况下,中游圆柱体结构运动轨迹会出现"双雨滴"形状. 最后,通过对流场特性的分析,揭示了剪切来流作用下串列三圆柱结构流致运动响应的内在机理.      

低雷诺数串列双方柱流致振动质量比效应的数值研究

为澄清串列双方柱流致振动的质量比效应, 采用数值模拟方法, 在雷诺数为150时, 研究了质量比($m^{\ast }=3$, 10, 20)对下游方柱振动响应特性的影响规律, 分析了下游方柱尾流模态的演变过程, 探讨了导致下游方柱振动的流固耦合机制. 结果表明: 质量比对下游方柱的流致振动有重要影响, 低质量比($m^{\ast }=3$)时下游方柱的振动响应更为复杂, 随着折减速度的增大, 下游方柱并未出现传统“锁定”现象(即振动频率比$f_{y}$/$f_{\rm n} \approx1$的锁定), 而发生了“弱锁定”现象(即$f_{y}/f_{\rm n}<1$的锁定); 随着质量比的增加($m^{\ast }=10$和20), “弱锁定”现象消失, 而出现传统“锁定”现象, 且下游方柱横流向最大振幅减小. 质量比对串列双方柱的柱心间距有明显影响, 低质量比($m^{\ast }=3$)时的柱间距在振动锁定区内会急剧减小, 而较高质量比($m^{\ast }=10$和20)下的柱间距则变化不大. 此外, 质量比对串列双方柱的尾流模态和流固耦合机制也有显著影响, 其中低质量比($m^{\ast }=3$)下的情况更为多样.      

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON FLOW-INDUCED VIBRATION OF TWO CYLINDERS IN TANDEM ARRANGEMENTS AND ITS COUPLING MECHANISMS

对雷诺数Re= 100 条件下串列双圆柱的流致振动进行了数值模拟. 圆柱的质量比m^*均为2.0,间距比L/D 为2.0 5.0. 考虑两种工况:(a) 上游圆柱固定,下游圆柱可沿横流向自由振动;(b) 上、下游圆柱均可沿横流向自由振动. 结果表明:无论上游圆柱静止或者振动,下游圆柱横向振幅明显大于单圆柱的. 工况(b) 的下游圆柱最大振幅要大于工况(a) 的,这是由于两圆柱均振动时,两圆柱之间耦合作用增强,上游圆柱的尾流和下游圆柱的振动之间“相互调节” 作用显著. 对工况(b) 的下游圆柱振动和间隙流之间的作用机制进行了详细的研究,发现当上游圆柱脱落的自由剪切层重新附着于下游圆柱上并且完全从间隙之间通过时,下游圆柱的振幅最大.

Heat transfer and flow behavior around four staggered elliptic cylinders in cross flow

Experimental and numerical studies were carried out to investigate forced convection heat transfer and flow features around the downstream elliptic cylinder in four staggered cylinders in cross flow. The elliptic cylinders examined had an axis ratio (b/c) of 1:2, and they were arranged with zero angle of attack to the upstream flow. The present heat transfer measurements were obtained by heating only the downstream elliptic cylinder (test cylinder) under the condition of constant heat flux. The testing fluid was air and the Reynolds number based on the major axis length (c) was ranged from 4,000 to 45,570. The tested longitudinal spacing ratio (S_x/c) and the transversal spacing ratio (S_y/b) were in the ranges of 1.5 ≤ S_x/c ≤ 4.0 and 1.5 ≤ S_y/b ≤ 4.0, respectively. The air flow pattern and temperature fields around the four staggered elliptic cylinders were predicted by using CFD software package. Also, a flow visualization study was made to show the flow features around the elliptic cylinders. It was observed that Nu_m of the downstream elliptic cylinder in four staggered cylinders was higher than that of three in-line cylinders for all tested spacing ratios and Reynolds numbers except for Re = 4,000. It was clear that, at lower Reynolds number values (Re < 14,100), the average Nusselt number of the downstream elliptic cylinder in three staggered arrangement was higher than that of the downstream cylinder in four staggered arrangement for all tested spacing ratios. On the other hand, at Re > 14,100, the tested elliptic cylinder in four staggered arrangement had the higher values of the average Nusselt number. Moreover, in four staggered arrangement, the maximum average Nusselt number enhancement ratio (average Nusselt number of the tested downstream cylinder/average Nusselt number of a single elliptic cylinder) was found to be about 2.0, and was obtained for spacing ratios of S_x/c = 2.5, S_y/b = 2.5 and at Re = 32,000. Finally, the average Nusselt number of the tested cylinder in four staggered arrangement was correlated in terms of Reynolds number and cylinder spacing ratios.     

Global aerodynamic instability of twin cylinders in cross flow

This paper comprises an in-depth physical discussion of the flow-induced vibration of two circular cylinders in view of the time-mean lift force on stationary cylinders and interaction mechanisms. The gap-spacing ratio T/D is varied from 0.1 to 5 and the attack angle α from 0° to 180° where T is the gap width between the cylinders and D is the diameter of a cylinder. Mechanisms of interaction between two cylinders are discussed based on time-mean lift, fluctuating lift, flow structures and flow-induced responses. The whole regime is classified into seven interaction regimes, i.e., no interaction regime; boundary layer and cylinder interaction regime; shear-layer/wake and cylinder interaction regime; shear-layer and shear-layer interaction regime; vortex and cylinder interaction regime; vortex and shear-layer interaction regime; and vortex and vortex interaction regime. Though a single non-interfering circular cylinder does not correspond to a galloping following quasi-steady galloping theory, two circular cylinders experience violent galloping vibration due to shear-layer/wake and cylinder interaction as well as boundary layer and cylinder interaction. A larger magnitude of fluctuating lift communicates to a larger amplitude vortex excitation.     

Flow around four cylinders arranged in a square configuration

This paper presents an experimental study of the flow around four circular cylinders arranged in a square configuration. The Reynolds number was fixed at Re=8000, the pitch-to-diameter ratio between adjacent cylinders was varied from P/D=2 to 5 and the incidence angle was changed from α=0° (in-line square configuration) to 45° (diamond configuration) at an interval of 7.5°. The flow field was measured using digital Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to examine the vortex shedding characteristics of the cylinders, together with direct measurement of fluid dynamic forces (lift and drag) on each cylinder using a piezoelectric load cell. Depending on the pitch ratio, the flow could be broadly classified as shielding regime (P/D≤2), shear layer reattachment regime (2.5≤P/D≤3.5) and vortex impinging regime (P/D≥4). However, this classification is valid only in the case that the cylinder array is arranged nearly in-line with the free stream (α≈0°), because the flow is also sensitive to α. As α increases from 0° to 45°, each cylinder experiences a transition of vortex shedding pattern from a one-frequency mode to a two-frequency mode. The flow interference among the cylinders is complicated, which could be non-synchronous, quasi-periodic or synchronized with a definite phase relationship with other cylinders depending on the combined value of α and P/D. The change in vortex pattern is also reflected by some integral parameters of the flow such as force coefficients, power spectra and Strouhal numbers.     

串列双锥柱绕流流动特性的大涡模拟研究

利用大涡模拟研究了雷诺数Re = 3900下串列双锥柱在间距比L/D_m = 2 ~ 10下的升阻力特性及三维流动结构. 研究发现: 上游锥柱在后方形成的两个展向不对称回流区, 使其后方压力分布不对称. 上游锥柱发展的上洗、下洗和侧面剪切层作用在下游锥柱的附着点位置不同是上游和下游锥柱时均阻力系数和脉动升力系数变化的主要原因, 串列双锥柱间流动结构随间距比变化可分为三种状态: 剪切层包裹状态, 过渡状态及尾流撞击状态. 剪切层包裹状态. 上游锥柱的自由端主导来流在下游锥柱迎风面影响范围广, 上游锥柱剪切层完全包裹住下游锥柱, 从而抑制下游锥柱后方回流区形成, 导致下游锥柱时均阻力系数降低; 尾流撞击状态; 上游锥柱尾流得到充分发展, 其回流区大小随间距比增大不再发生变化, 上游锥柱尾流出现周期性脱落, 撞击在下游锥柱表面, 从而使脉动升力系数大幅增加, 最大脉动升力系数较单直圆柱提升约20.7倍; 过渡状态, 此时时均阻力系数和脉动升力系数均会较剪切层包裹状态增加. 该研究可以为风力俘能结构群列阵布局提供理论支持.      

Wakes of elliptical cylinders at low Reynolds number

The wakes of elliptical cylinders are numerically investigated at a Reynolds number Re_D = 150. ANSYS-Fluent, based on the finite volume method, is used to simulate two-dimensional Newtonian fluid flow. The cylinder cross-sectional aspect ratio (AR) is varied from 0.25 to 1.0 (circular cylinder), and the angle of attack (α) of the cylinder is changed as α = 0° – 90°. With the changes in AR and α, three distinct wake patterns (patterns I, II, III) are observed, associated with different characteristics of fluid forces. Steady wake (pattern I) is characterised by two steady bubbles forming behind the cylinder, occurring at AR < 0.37 and α < 2.5°. Time-mean drag and fluctuating lift coefficients are small. Pattern II refers to Karman wake followed by steady wake (AR ≥ 0.37 – 0.67, depending on α) with the Karman street transitioning to two steady shear layers downstream. An inflection angle α_i is identified where the time-mean drag of the elliptical cylinder is identical to that of a circular cylinder. Pattern III is the Karman wake followed by secondary wake (AR ≤ 0.67, α > 52°), where the Karman street forming behind the cylinder is modified to a secondary vortex street with a low frequency. The Time-mean drag coefficient is maximum for this pattern.
