Book Three dimensional Vortex body Interaction in a Viscous Fluid

Download or read book Three dimensional Vortex body Interaction in a Viscous Fluid written by Jeffrey S. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental and computational study of the impact of a vortex with a body oriented normal to the vortex axis was performed. Particular focus was placed on understanding characteristics of the secondary vorticity ejected from the body and the interaction of the secondary vorticity with the primary vortex. Since both onset of boundary layer separation and the form of the secondary vorticity structures are sensitive to variation of the velocity normal to the body axis, the effect of normal velocity on vortex-body interaction was carefully examined. The physical features of the flow evolution were categorized in terms of an impact parameter and a thickness parameter, which respectively represent ratios of velocity and length scales associated with the vortex to those associated with the flow in the absence of the vortex. Experiments were performed using a combination of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) flow visualization and particle-image velocimetry (PIV) in a water tank to examine the form of the secondary vorticity structures with both "high" and "low" values of the impact parameter for normal vortex interaction with a circular cylinder and with a thin blade. A new type of Lagrangian vorticity method based on a tetrahedral mesh was developed and applied to compute the secondary vorticity evolution during vortex-cylinder interaction. Computations were also performed for model problems to examine in detail wrapping of a vortex loop around a columnar vortex and impulsive cutting of a columnar vortex with finite axial flow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a systematic understanding of its theoretical foundations, “Self-Excited Vibration: Theory, Paradigms, and Research Methods” offers a method for analyzing any type of self-excited vibration (SEV). After summarizing the research results of various SEV phenomenon, including chatter, shimmy, rotor whirl, flutter, gallop, and SEV of man-made control systems, the author constructs a general constitutive mechanism of SEV, as well as a common research program and detailed analysis technique. All of these will help the reader independently analyze any new SEV phenomena.

Download or read book Flow Induced Vibrations written by Eduard Naudascher and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite their variety, the vibration phenomena from many different engineering fields can be classified into a relatively few basic excitation mechanisms. The classification enables engineers to identify all possible sources of excitation in a given system and to assess potential dangers. This graduate-level text presents a synthesis of research results and practical experience from disparate fields in the form of engineering guidelines. It is particularly geared toward assessing the possible sources of excitation in a flow system, in identifying the actual danger spots, and in finding appropriate remedial measures or cures. Flow-induced vibrations are presented in terms of their basic elements: body oscillators, fluid oscillators, and sources of excitation. By stressing these basic elements, the authors provide a basis for the transfer of knowledge from one system to another, as well as from one engineering field to another. In this manner, well-known theories on cylinders in cross-flow or well-executed solutions from the field of wind engineering--to name just two examples--may be useful in other systems or fields on which information is scarce. The unified approach is broad enough to permit treatment of the major excitation mechanism, yet simple enough to be of practical use.

Book Wake Oscillator and CFD in Modelling of VIVs

Download or read book Wake Oscillator and CFD in Modelling of VIVs written by Andrey Postnikov and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With many decades of research devoted to the intriguing nature of vortex-induced vibrations, the offshore industry is constantly looking for new effective solutions in predicting VIV of slender marine structures such as riser pipes. These structures are very sensitive to excitations induced by vortex shedding, which results in vibrations that in certain combinations of waves and current develop into a structural resonance phenomenon known as lock-in. This kind of vibrations can be destructive to some structures and lead to collapse. Many of VIV aspects are far from being understood and advanced modelling is required to investigate the impact of the phenomenon, which significantly affects the service life of marine structures. The main objective of this research is to contribute to the family of semi-empirical models used for prediction of vortex-induced vibrations, with emphasis on low mass ratio elastically supported cylinders capable of moving in cross-flow and in-line directions. In this work a new two degree-of-freedom wake oscillator model has been developed, where vortex-induced lift and drag forces were modelled with two nonlinear self-excited oscillators of van der Pol type. Phenomena exclusive for two degreeof- freedom motion at low mass ratios were examined in detail. Computational fuid dynamics was applied to the problem in order to tune the model parameters. Twodimensional flow past an elastically supported cylinder was considered, and CFD simulation results were used to calibrate the wake oscillator model predictions of the complex fluid-structure interaction.
