Vortex-Induced Vibrations of an Inclined Cylinder in Flow

Non-newtonian Behavior of a Rotating-cylinder Induced Flow

As a cylinder spins in an infinite media, viscous shear forces induce fluid motion and circular streamlines are generated. For Newtonian fluids, a simple analytical solution is possible and widely known. The hydrodynamics of nonNewtonian fluids, however, can be quite complex under such conditions. This paper investigates the behavior of a wide range of non-Newtonian fluids in the infinite cylin...

Development of a novel method in TRMC for a Binary Gas Flow Inside a Rotating Cylinder

A new approach to calculate the axially symmetric binary gas flow is proposed Dalton’s law for partial pressures contributed by each species of a binary gas mixture (argon and helium) is incorporated into numerical simulation of rarefied axially symmetric flow inside a rotating cylinder using the time relaxed Monte-Carlo (TRMC) scheme and the direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) method. The res...

Vortex-induced vibrations of a long flexible cylinder in shear flow

We investigate the in-line and cross-flow vortex-induced vibrations of a long cylindrical tensioned beam, with length to diameter ratio L/D=200, placed within a linearly sheared oncoming flow, using three-dimensional direct numerical simulation. The study is conducted at three Reynolds numbers, from 110 to 1100 based on maximum velocity, so as to include the transition to turbulence in the wake...
