Book Vortex Shedding from Stationary and Vibrating Bluff Bodies in a Shear Flow

Download or read book Vortex Shedding from Stationary and Vibrating Bluff Bodies in a Shear Flow written by and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If a fluid is in relative motion past a stationary bluff, or unstreamlined, structure and the vortex shedding frequency approaches one of the natural frequencies of the structure, then resonant flow-induced oscillations of the structure can occur when the damping of the system is sufficiently low. These resonant oscillations are accompanied by a 'lock-on' or capture of the vortex shedding frequency by the vibration frequency over a range of flow speeds, and this lock-on effect causes the wake and the structure to oscillate in unison. The periodic lift and the mean drag forces are amplified as a result of the vibrations, and changes in these fluid forces are closely related to the changes that occur in the flow field in the near wake of the body. Many practical ocean and wind engineering situations involve lightly-damped structures that are located in flows of air or water that are nonuniform along the length of the structure. The primary difference between a uniform flow and a shear flow is the presence and added complexity, in a shear flow, of vorticity whose vector is normal to the plane of the flow. When the incident flow approaches the body this vorticity is turned into the flow direction and interacts with the vortices which are shed from the body into the wake.

Book Control of Two and Three Dimensional Wake Instabilities from Bluff Bodies

Download or read book Control of Two and Three Dimensional Wake Instabilities from Bluff Bodies written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The detailed, instantaneous flow structure of the near-wake of a cylinder subjected to various classes of active (open-loop) and passive control has been characterized using both qualitative flow visualization and high-image-density particle image velocimetry (piv) developed in our laboratories. The first cinema PIV system allows acquisition of images that are highly resolved in both space and time. Concepts of timing of vortex formation, period-doubled patterns of vortices, and modulated and phase-locked systems of vortices are addressed for controlled oscillations of the cylinder. Three-dimensional patterns of instantaneous vorticity allow classification of the modes of response of the near-wake, providing a basis for formulating concepts for attenuation of vortex formation.

Book Turbulent Flows

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: obtained are still severely limited to low Reynolds numbers (about only one decade better than direct numerical simulations), and the interpretation of such calculations for complex, curved geometries is still unclear. It is evident that a lot of work (and a very significant increase in available computing power) is required before such methods can be adopted in daily's engineering practice. I hope to l"Cport on all these topics in a near future. The book is divided into six chapters, each· chapter in subchapters, sections and subsections. The first part is introduced by Chapter 1 which summarizes the equations of fluid mechanies, it is developed in C~apters 2 to 4 devoted to the construction of turbulence models. What has been called "engineering methods" is considered in Chapter 2 where the Reynolds averaged equations al"C established and the closure problem studied (§1-3). A first detailed study of homogeneous turbulent flows follows (§4). It includes a review of available experimental data and their modeling. The eddy viscosity concept is analyzed in §5 with the l"Csulting ~alar-transport equation models such as the famous K-e model. Reynolds stl"Css models (Chapter 4) require a preliminary consideration of two-point turbulence concepts which are developed in Chapter 3 devoted to homogeneous turbulence. We review the two-point moments of velocity fields and their spectral transforms (§ 1), their general dynamics (§2) with the particular case of homogeneous, isotropie turbulence (§3) whel"C the so-called Kolmogorov's assumptions are discussed at length.

Book Wake Dynamics and Passive Flow Control of a Blunt Trailing Edge Profiled Body

Download or read book Wake Dynamics and Passive Flow Control of a Blunt Trailing Edge Profiled Body written by Lakshmana Sampat Doddipatla and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wake flows behind two-dimensional bodies are dominated mainly by two types of coherent structures, namely, the Karman Benard vortices and the streamwise vortices, also referred to as rolls and ribs respectively. The three-dimensional wake instabilities lead to distinct instability modes (mode-A, mode-B and mode-C or mode S) depending on the flow Reynolds number and geometric shape. The present investigation explores the mechanism by which the flow transitions take place to three-dimensionality in the near wake of a profiled leading edge and blunt trailing edge body. Experiments consisting of a combination of Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence visualizations and Particle Image Velocimetry measurements are conducted for Reynolds numbers ranging from 250 to 46000. The results indicate that three instability modes, denoted by mode-A, mode-B and mode-C, appear in the wake transition to three-dimensionality, but their order of appearance does not occur through the traditional route as observed in circular cylinder flows. It is found that mode-C instability with a spanwise spacing varying between 1.2 to 2.8D (D being the trailing edge thickness) dominates the near wake development. This result is explored further with the aim to devise a simple passive control method to mitigate vortex shedding for blunt trailing edge bodies. The effect of a trailing edge spanwise sinusoidal perturbation (SSP) is investigated for a range of Reynolds numbers (ReD) spanning the transition range from ReD = 550 up to 46000. PIV measurements at different vertical and horizontal locations are performed to study changes in the streamwise and spanwise vortices. The base drag and strength of vortex shedding decrease with wavy trailing edge compared to the straight trailing edge. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) of the obtained PIV data indicates that the spanwise sinusoidal perturbation redistributes the relative energy, enhancing the streamwise vortices and, as a result, suppressing the Karman Benard rolls.

Book The Effects of Three Dimensional Imposed Disturbances on Bluff Body Near Wake Flows

Download or read book The Effects of Three Dimensional Imposed Disturbances on Bluff Body Near Wake Flows written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We wish to achieve a better understanding of the underlying three- dimensional flow structure in the near wake of a bluff body when subjected to imposed geometrical disturbances. We want to understand the effects of three dimensionality that are characterized by vortex splitting and looping and how they are related to other wake such as base pressure shedding frequency, wake width and wake formation length.

Book Research on Bluff Body Vortex Wakes

Download or read book Research on Bluff Body Vortex Wakes written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparison of laboratory experiments and computational results for two dimensional flows showed that, in impulsively started flows, laboratory flows are two dimensional in the early stages and that three dimensional effects develop after acceleration is complete. In fully developed flow the mean and fluctuating forces are considerably lower (up to 50%) in the laboratory flows (ie with three dimensionality) than in the two dimensional numerical simulations. The experiments in tow tank and water tunnel also revealed the existence of long-time modulations of vortex shedding forces. These have the form of bursts with duration of order 10 vortex shedding periods. A novel method of introducing controlled spanwise components of velocity into otherwise two dimensional flow, at low Reynolds number was to give the cylinder an axial (spanwise) motion, either a steady translation or a periodic oscillation. For unsteady, periodic axial oscillation of the cylinder, the experiments showed how the ratio of the spanwise period to the vortex shedding period determines the patterns of vortex dislocation in the wake, how regimes of chaos are formed and how shedding frequency and wake spectra are affected.
