基于能量传递规律的海洋立管涡激振动抑制研究

涡激振动是造成海洋立管疲劳损伤的重要因素, 抑制振动能够保障结构安全, 延长使用寿命. 多数涡激振动抑制方法基于干扰流场的方式, 但在复杂环境条件下, 仅通过干扰流场对振动的抑制效果有限. 因此, 从结构层面考虑开展了海洋立管涡激振动抑制研究. 基于能量传递的理论, 阐述了立管涡激振动过程中的能量传递规律. 振动能量以行波形式由能量输入区传播至能量耗散区, 主要在能量耗散区被消耗. 通过局部增大能量耗散区的阻尼, 增加振动能量在传播过程中的消耗, 实现涡激振动抑制. 为了求解立管涡激振动响应, 构建了尾流振子预报模型, 并根据实验结果验证了理论模型的可靠性. 基于理论计算得到的能量系数, 判定立管涡激振动的能量输入区和能量耗散区. 通过对比立管增大阻尼前后的响应, 分析了涡激振动抑制效果. 研究结果表明: 在能量输入区增大阻尼对涡激振动的抑制效果并不显著; 在能量耗散区增大阻尼使能量衰减系数达到临界值之后, 能够显著降低立管上部和底部的涡激振动位移; 当能量衰减系数超过临界值后, 继续增大耗散区阻尼对涡激振动抑制效果的提升不明显.

不同剪切率来流作用下柔性圆柱涡激振动数值模拟

采用浸入边界法对细长柔性圆柱在线性剪切流条件下的涡激振动进行三维数值模拟。细长柔性圆柱振动采用三维索模型模拟,其两端铰接,质量比为6,长细比为50,无量纲顶张力为496。来流为线性剪切流,剪切率从0到0.024变化,最大雷诺数为250。研究发现:剪切流作用下柔性立管横流向振动表现为驻波模式,而顺流向振动表现为行波-驻波混合模式。随着剪切率增大,振动频谱呈现多频响应,振动能量逐渐向低频转移。阻力系数平均值随着展向变化,脉动阻力系数和升力系数的均方根值均表现为“双峰”模式。流固能量传递系数沿立管轴向的分布表明,振动激励区集中于高流速区,而振动阻尼区多位于低流速区。剪切率较小时,圆柱的泻涡为平行交叉模式;剪切率较大时,圆柱的泻涡为倾斜泻涡模式,且由于泻涡频率沿立管轴向变化,尾流发生涡裂现象,形成泻涡频率不同的胞格结构。      

倾斜圆柱结构涡激振动研究进展

圆柱结构涡激振动现象在生活中十分常见,如海洋工程中的管道、土木工程中的高耸建筑、桥梁斜拉索,核工程中的热交换器等频繁受到涡激振动影响,诱发结构的疲劳损伤,甚至破坏失效.现阶段,人们对垂直来流作用下圆柱结构涡激振动机理已有较为全面的认识.然而,当圆柱倾斜置于流场中,结构后缘的尾流形态与垂直放置差异显著,结构与流体的耦合作用机理更为复杂.为简化倾斜圆柱涡激振动问题,提出了不相关原则,来流速度被分解为垂直圆柱结构轴向和平行圆柱结构轴向的两个速度分量,仅考虑垂直结构轴向速度分量的影响,忽略平行结构轴向速度分量的影响.近年来,针对倾斜圆柱涡激振动及不相关原则的适用性,出现了大量实验和数值模拟研究成果.为了深化对倾斜圆柱结构涡激振动相关机理的认知,本文全面阐述了倾斜圆柱结构涡激振动响应规律、尾迹流场模式和流体力特性等方面的研究进展,分析了不相关原则的适用范围,探讨了倾斜圆柱结构涡激振动抑制措施,并对今后该领域的研究进行了力所能及的展望.     

两端铰接的细长柔性圆柱体涡激振动响应特性数值研究

目前细长柔性圆柱体涡激振动响应的研究方法主要包括实验方法、计算流体动力学方法以及半经验模型方法. 鉴于实验方法研究成本较高、计算流体动力学方法计算时间较长,本文基于尾流振子模型对线性剪切来流下两端铰接的细长柔性圆柱体涡激振动响应特性进行了半经验模型方法研究. 先建立了柔性圆柱体结构振子以及尾流振子之间的耦合模型,紧接着基于二阶精度中心差分格式对耦合模型先离散后迭代进行求解. 对不同剪切参数下柔性圆柱体涡激振动响应的振动波长、振动频率、振动位移以及响应频率随时间的变化特性等参数进行了分析. 分析结果表明:圆柱体的涡激振动响应由驻波和行波混合组成. 当无量纲弯曲刚度较小时,在圆柱体两端附近,驻波占主导;而在圆柱体中间段附近,行波占主导. 当无量纲弯曲刚度较大时,在圆柱体整个长度区间上均为驻波占主导. 随着剪切参数的增大,振动位移以及振动波长均逐渐减小,而振动频率和频率带宽均逐渐增大.

The effect of end conditions on the vortex-induced vibration of cylinders

In the present investigation we study the effect of end conditions on the vortex-induced vibration of an elastically mounted rigid cylinder. This work was triggered by some initial controlled vibration experiments which showed that spanwise end conditions can have a large effect on measured fluid forces on a cylinder, and this suggested that some of the disparity amongst previous free vibration studies may possibly be attributed to differences in end conditions. In the principal experiments here, we are concerned with a vertical cylinder piercing the clean free surface of a water channel, and attached to a carriage system mounted atop the channel. The upper end of the submerged cylinder is thus the free surface, while the lower end is manipulated to yield three different conditions, namely: an attached endplate; an unattached endplate fixed to the channel floor (with a variable gap between cylinder and plate); and a condition of no endplate at all. Interestingly, we find that the free vibration response for the attached and unattached endplate cases were nearly identical. One expectation was that the case without an endplate would lead to a flow around the end of the body, modifying the vortex dynamics, and thereby reducing the correlation of the induced fluid forces on the body. Surprisingly, over the entire response plot, the vibration amplitude is markedly higher in the absence of an endplate, with the exception of the peak amplitude, which remains nearly unchanged. Unexpectedly, the vibrations become much more steady at flow velocities in the vicinity of the peak response, if the endplate is removed. In a further set of experiments, we undertake controlled vibration, where we vary the gap between cylinder and endplate. We discover a large discontinuous jump in the magnitude of fluid excitation, when the gap exceeds 15% of a diameter. For larger gaps, the fluid excitation becomes independent of the gap size, effectively equivalent to having no plate at all. This study is consistent with some of the disparity between the character of vibration response plots in previous studies, if one takes into account the particular end conditions chosen in those studies.     

Suppression of vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder using suction-based flow control

In the present study, a flow control method is employed to mitigate vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a circular cylinder by using a suction flow method. The VIV of a circular cylinder was first reproduced in a wind tunnel by using a spring–mass system. The time evolution of the cylinder oscillation and the time histograms of the surface pressures of 119 taps in four sections of the circular cylinder model were measured during the wind tunnel experiments. Four steady suction flow rates were used to investigate the effectiveness of the suction control method to suppress VIV of the circular cylinder. The vibration responses, the mean and fluctuating pressure coefficients, and the resultant aerodynamic force coefficients of the circular cylinder under the suction flow control are analyzed. The measurement results indicate clearly that the steady suction flow control method exhibits excellent control effectiveness and can distinctly suppress the VIV by dramatically reducing the amplitudes of cylinder vibrations, fluctuating pressure coefficients and lift coefficients of the circular cylinder model. By comparing the test cases with different suction flow rates, it is found that there exists an optimal suction flow rate for the maximum VIV control. The cases with higher suction flow rates do not necessarily behave better than those with lower suction flow rates. With the experimental setting used in the present study, the suction flow control method is found to behave better for VIV suppression when the ratio of the suction flow velocity to the oncoming flow velocity is less than one.

On the response and wake modes of a cylinder undergoing streamwise vortex-induced vibration

This brief communication elaborates on aspects of the free response and wake modes of a flexibly-supported cylinder undergoing vortex-induced vibration in the streamwise direction only in view of some recent studies in the literature. It discusses the meaning of the term ‘lock-in’ employed in the context of forced excitation and free response studies, the influence of added mass on the response frequency, the competition between alternating and symmetrical modes and associated excitation mechanisms, and the drop in amplitude in the range separating the two response branches. A few similarities between single-degree-of-freedom streamwise and transverse vibrations are brought to light. Finally, attention is drawn to some discrepancies between published results which call for further understanding of the complicated nature of vortex-induced vibration.     

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.     

The wave attenuation on the mud bed

In the paper the wave attenuation in a two layer fluid system is studied. The fluid in the top layer is ideal and that in the lower layer is the Voigt model of the viscoelastic medium. A dispersion relation is derived and the rate of the wave decay is computed. The approximate explicit expressions of the decay rate for different water depth are given, where the viscoelasticity is either very large or very small. Compared with the numerical results, our results are very accurate, which can be used by an engineer.

Vortex-induced vibration of pipes conveying fluid using the method of multiple scales

The nonlinear dynamics of supported pipes conveying fluid subjected to vortex-induced vibration is evaluated using the method of multiple scales. Frequency response portraits for different internal fluid velocities under lock-in conditions are obtained and the stability of steady-state responses is discussed. Results show that the internal fluid velocity has a prominent effect on the oscillation amplitude and that the steady-state responses incorporating unstable solutions in the lock-in region are also obtained. In addition, the effects of two kinds of fluctuating lift coefficients on the steady-state responses are compared with each other.
