(SYA) 21-1 Numerical Modelling of Vortex Flow Instabilities and Interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
Evolution of vortices and their interactions are investigated in the Lagrangian context using the continuous vortex sheet method. Among the topics investigated are the numerical Helmholtz instability on a circular vortex sheet, the fractal-pattern instability on an expanding vortex spiral, interactions of vortices with shear layers, and some other phenomena related to experimental observations in the laboratory and nature.

Effect of Surface Roughness on Vortex Length and Efficiency of Gas-oil Cyclones through CFD Modelling
Separation of suspended droplets in a fluid flow has been a great concern for scientists and technologists. In the current study, the effect of the surface roughness on flow field and the performance of a gas-oil cyclone is studied numerically. The droplets and the turbulent airflow inside the cyclone are considered to be the discrete and continuous phases respectively. The Reynolds stress mode...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Vortex Interaction in Pipe Flow
To discover the nonlinear characteristics of pipe flow, we simulated the flow as a sum of many vortex rings. As a first step, we investigated the nonlinear interaction among a maximum of three vortex rings. The pipe wall was replaced by many bound vortices. A free vortex ring moves right or left according to the radius, and that of a particular radius keeps the initial position. The energy of a...
متن کاملDirect Numerical Simulation of the Wake Flow Behind a Cylinder Using Random Vortex Method in Medium to High Reynolds Numbers
Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow behind a cylinder, wake flow, using the random vortex method for an incompressible fluid in two dimensions is presented. In the random vortex method, the primary variable is vorticity of the flow field. After generation on the cylinder wall, it is followed in two fractional time step in a Lagrangian system of coordinates, namely convection and diffu...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of the Wake Flow Behind an Ellipse using Random Vortex Method (RESEARCH NOTE)
Direct numerical simulation of the wake flow around and behind a planar ellipse using a random vortex method is presented. Fluid is considered incompressible and the aspect ratios of ellipse and the angles of attacks are varied. This geometry can be a logical prelude to the more complex geometries, but less time dependent experimental measurements are available to validate the numerical results...
متن کاملRandom Vortex Method for Geometries with Unsolvable Schwarz-Christoffel Formula
In this research we have implemented the Random Vortex Method to calculate velocity fields of fluids inside open cavities in both turbulent and laminar flows. the Random Vortex Method is a CFD method (in both turbulent and laminar fields) which needs the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation formula to map the physical geometry into the upper half plane. In some complex geometries like the flow in...
