The calculations were performed by means of solving the 2-D Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes （URANS） equations with a k-ε turbulence model. The calculated results, produced flow structure drag and lift coefficients, as well as Strouhal numbers. The findings were in good agreement with previous published data, which also supplied us with a good understanding of the flow across cylinders of different high Reynolds numbers. Meanwhile, an effective measure was presented to control the lift force on a cylinder, which points the way to decrease the vortex induced vibration of marine structure in future.展开更多

As a discovery, the super-stability analysed by Lallemand and Luo is verified and the complex structure of the cavity flow is also exhibited in our numerical simulation when Re is high enough. To the best knowledge of the authors, the maximum of Re which has been investigated by direct numerical simulation is only around 50 000 in the literature; however, this paper can readily extend the maximum to 1000 000 with the above combination.展开更多

The axes of the strip and cylinder are parallel. The control parameters are strip width ratio and strip position characterized by angle of attack and distance from the cylinder. Wind tunnel tests show that the vortex shedding from both sides of the cylinder can be suppressed, and mean drag and fluctuating lift on the cylinder can be reduced if the strip is installed in an effective zone downstream of the cylinder. A phenomenon of mono-side vortex shedding is found. The strip-induced local changes of velocity profiles in the near wake of the cylinder are measured, and the relation between base suction and peak value in the power spectrum of fluctuating lift is studied. The control mechanism is then discussed from different points of view.展开更多

Because the effective viscosity was reduced by the fraction factor, it is very effective for simulating high Reynolds number flows. Simulations were carried out on a uniform grids system. The stream lines and the velocity profiles obtained from the simulations agree well with the standard lattice Boltzmann method simulations. Comparisons of detailed flow patterns with other studies via location of vortex centers are also satisfactory.展开更多

A random walk is imposed to simulate the viscous diffusion, the vortex-in-cell method is used to obtain the convection velocity, and nascent vortices are created on a cylinder to satisfy the zero-slip condition. The impulsively started flow around a circular cylinder and the separation induced by a pair of incident vortices symmetrically approaching a circular cylinder have been successfully simulated by the hybrid scheme. The impulsively started flow from rest has been computed at Reynolds numbers 3000 and 9500. Comparisons are made with those results of finite-difference method, vortex method and flow visualization. Agreement is good. The particular attention has been paid to the evolutions of flow pattern. A topological analysis has been proposed in the region of the near wake. The bulge, isolated secondary vortex, a pair of secondary vortices, ' forewake phenomenon and other patterns are simulated numerically. The separation induced by a pair of incident vortices approaching a circular cylinder has been investigated by using the same scheme. The rebounding phenomenon of the incident vortex is observed and is attributed to the effect of the secondary vortex. In particular, we have found that a tertiary vortex can be formed near the surface; this phenomenon has been verified by flow visualization reported recently.展开更多

There is currently a trend for massive construction projects, the result of which are megastructures that behave similarly to these natural elevations and create analogous turbulence conditions. Examples five mega projects were analyzed, and it was estimated that the Reynolds number variation in these buildings, is from 6.10g and 7.109, for winds between 10 m/s and 50 m/s. In this work, the authors present a first numerical approach to this phenomenon by calculating the Strouhal numbers induced by winds blowing against large-volume bodies, in the range of high Reynolds numbers. For this study, satellite images depicting von K^irm^n cloud streets leeward of isolated islands were used. The methodology employed was based on a satellite image where streets watch von K^rnfin vortex, from NOAA-ARL （National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Air Resource Laboratory） prognosis was obtained for a grid point near the island, then determined the inversion layer and meteorological data （wind, temperature and pressure）, was measured from the satellite image the distances separating the vortices to calculate the period, the Reynolds number and Strouhal. The studied results of the cases are displayed graphically, where it is possible to observe a data dispersion as well as a rising trend of the Strouhal number as the Reynolds number increases.展开更多

The Discrete Vortex Method (DVM) was employed to evaluate the unsteady gas flow fields and a Lagrangian approach was applied for tracking individual solid particles. The vortex patterns and the distributions of particles with different Stokes numbers were obtained. Numerical results show that: (1) at small Stokes number (St=0.01) the particles move with the fluid and could be found evenly throughout the flow, (2) the regions around the vortex cores, where few particles exist, become wider as the stokes number of particles increases from 0.01 to 1.0, (3) at middle Stokes number (St=1.0, 10) centrifugal forces throw the particles out of the wake vortices, (4) at high Stokes number (St=100, 1000) the particles are not affected by the vortices,and their motion is determined by their inertia effects.展开更多

The discrete vortex method （DVM） was employed to evaluate the unsteady water flow fields and a Lagrangian approach was applied for tracking individual solid particles. A dispersion function was defined to represent the dispersion scale of the particle. The wake vortex patterns, the distributions and the time series of dispersion functions of particles with different Stokes numbers were obtained. Numerical results show that the particle distribution in the wake of the circular cylinder is closely related to the particle＇s Stokes number and the structure of wake vortices： （1） the intermediate sized particles with Stokes numbers, St, of 0.25, 1.0 and 4.0 can not enter the vortex cores and concen- trate near the peripheries of the vortex structures, （2） in the circular cylinder wake, the dispersion intensity of particles decreases as St is increased from 0.25 to 4.0.展开更多

The SUPG stabilization technique is employed for the for- mulation of momentum equations. Using the penalty function method, the continuity equation is simplified and the pres- sure of the momentum equations is eliminated. The lid-driven cavity flow problem is solved using the present model. It is shown that steady flow simulations are computable up to Re = 27500, and the present results agree well with previous solutions. Tabulated results for the properties of the primary vortex are also provided for benchmarking purposes.展开更多

Three different grid resolutions were employed in the verification and validation study of the adopted turbulence model. Various fluid characteristics such as Strouhal number, lift coefficient of the cylinder and the splitter with respect to various splitter lengths and different Reynolds numbers were investigated. It was revealed that the lift coefficient ratio of the splitter over the cylinder remains near 1.6 when the splitter length is 1.5—4 times the cylinder's diameter. Vortex shedding is strongly inhibited when the splitter length is greater than a critical value of around four times the cylinder's diameter. The phase difference of the lift coefficient on the upper and lower surface of the splitter varies between-30?and 30?. The maximal lift coefficients are reached when the splitter length is about 2 times the cylinder's diameter. Besides, the splitter length has little influence on the separation angle around the cylinder.展开更多

However, because of the limitation in the present computer, large round-off errors are found in calculating FA coefficients when Reynolds number is large. This paper investigates the cause of this difficulty and presents a special programming technique in making an accurate computation of FA coefficients. Then a fundamental function known as 'Pe' is tabulated by the accurate computation. In practical application the interpolation technique is employed so that the FA coefficients can be obtained reliably and quickly.展开更多

Numerical results show that the particle distribution in the wake of the circular cylinder is closely related to the particle＇s Stokes number and the structure of wake vortices： （1） the intermediate sized particles with Stokes numbers, St, of 0.25, 1.0 and 4.0 can not enter the vortex cores and concen- trate near the peripheries of the vortex structures, （2） in the circular cylinder wake, the dispersion intensity of particles decreases as St is increased from 0.25 to 4.0.

文摘A streamline upwind/Petrov-Galerkin （SUPG） finite element method based on a penalty function is pro- posed for steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The SUPG stabilization technique is employed for the for- mulation of momentum equations. Using the penalty function method, the continuity equation is simplified and the pres- sure of the momentum equations is eliminated. The lid-driven cavity flow problem is solved using the present model. It is shown that steady flow simulations are computable up to Re = 27500, and the present results agree well with previous solutions. Tabulated results for the properties of the primary vortex are also provided for benchmarking purposes.

文摘This paper proposes a new nonconforming finite difference streamline diffusion method to solve incompressible time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations with a high Reynolds number. The backwards difference in time and the Crouzeix-Raviart （CR） element combined with the P0 element in space are used. The result shows that this scheme has good stabilities and error estimates independent of the viscosity coefficient.

文摘Numerical research of flow past a circular cylinder with a splitter at the subcritical Reynolds number region of 5 × 10~4—9 × 10~4 was researched based on Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) through solving twodimensional incompressible unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(URANS) equations with the shear stress transport(SST) k-ω turbulence model. Three different grid resolutions were employed in the verification and validation study of the adopted turbulence model. Various fluid characteristics such as Strouhal number, lift coefficient of the cylinder and the splitter with respect to various splitter lengths and different Reynolds numbers were investigated. It was revealed that the lift coefficient ratio of the splitter over the cylinder remains near 1.6 when the splitter length is 1.5—4 times the cylinder's diameter. Vortex shedding is strongly inhibited when the splitter length is greater than a critical value of around four times the cylinder's diameter. The phase difference of the lift coefficient on the upper and lower surface of the splitter varies between-30?and 30?. The maximal lift coefficients are reached when the splitter length is about 2 times the cylinder's diameter. Besides, the splitter length has little influence on the separation angle around the cylinder.
文摘The finite analytic method (FA) developed in the last decade is an effective numerical method for solving fluid flow problems. However, because of the limitation in the present computer, large round-off errors are found in calculating FA coefficients when Reynolds number is large. This paper investigates the cause of this difficulty and presents a special programming technique in making an accurate computation of FA coefficients. Then a fundamental function known as 'Pe' is tabulated by the accurate computation. In practical application the interpolation technique is employed so that the FA coefficients can be obtained reliably and quickly.
