THE MICRO-BUBBLE DISTRIBUTION IN THE WAKE OF A CAVlTATlNG CIRCULAR CYLINDER

چکیده
Bubble nuclei populations in the wake of a circular cylinder under cavitating and noncavitating conditions were measured using a Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) system. In addition, the mean velocity defect and the turbulent fluctuations were monitored in order to try to understand the nuclei population dynamics within the flow. At the Reynolds numbers of these experiments (20000 + 33000) the laminar near-wake is fairly steady and under very limited cavitation conditions nuclei accumulate in this wake so that the population there is several orders of magnitude larger than in the upstream flow. Further downstream the population declines again as nuclei are entrained into the wake. However at fifteen diameters downstream the population is still much larger than in the upstream flow.

Experimental investigation for wake of the circular cylinder by attaching different number of tripping wires
An experimental study is conducted on flow past a circular cylinder fitted with some tripping wires on its surface. The work investigates the dependency of the critical wire locations on the wire size and Reynolds numbers, and examines the wake and vortex shedding characteristics in an effort to advance the understanding of the critical wire effects beyond the existing literature. The primary a...

In this paper, effects of EHD actuators on hydrodynamic behavior and heat transfer of air flow over a circular cylinder were considered. Pressure and temperature distributions around the cylinder were measured in presence of wire-plate EHD actuators. The Reynolds number based on cylinder diameter (d) were 3500, 7000. Experiments were performed for various configurations. Based on obtained resul...

متن کاملThe structure of primary instability modes in the steady wake and separation bubble of a square cylinder
Flows past symmetric two-dimensional bluff bodies such as the circular cylinder, the square cylinder, and the normal flat plate produce large separation bubbles which (in the steady restriction) may become very elongated at comparatively low Reynolds numbers. The present work focuses on the steady/symmetric wake of a square cylinder at Re ≤ 300, which loses stability to anti-symmetric two-dimen...
