Les around Two Cylinders in Tandem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The flow around an arrangement of two-in-tandem cylinders exhibits a remarkably complex behaviour that is of interest for many engineering problems, such as environmental flows or structural design. In the present paper, a Large Eddy Simulation using a staggered Cartesian grid has been performed for the flow around two-in-tandem cylinders of diameter D=20mm and height H=50mm submerged in an open channel with height h=60 mm. The two axes have a streamwise spacing of 2D. The Reynolds number is 1500, based on the cylinder diameter and the free-stream velocity u . The results obtained show that no vortex shedding occurs in the gap between the two cylinders where the separated shear layers produced by the upstream cylinder reattach on the surface of the downstream one. The flow separates on the top of the first cylinder with the presence of two spiral nodes known as owl-face configuration. On top of the downstream cylinder, the flow is attached. A complex mean flow develops in the gap and also behind the second cylinder. Comparisons with PIV measurements reveal good general agreement, but there are differences concerning some details of the flow in the gap between the

Numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow around two circular cylinders in tandem arrangement
Three-dimensional fluid flow around two circular cylinders in tandem arrangement is computed by the finite difference method without a turbulence model. The overlapped grid technique is employed to catch the flow interference between the two tandem cylinders. It is confirmed that the abrupt numerical change of drag coefficients and the Strouhal number is in good agreement with the previous expe...

In the present study, the author’s previous experimental investigations on the vortex induced vibration of uniform and tapered circular cylinders are numerically simulated. The circular cylinders have medium mass ratios (5.93, 6.1), low mass-damping parameters (0.0275, 0.0279) a mean diameter of 0.028m and an aspect ratio of about 14. A fully coupled two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) an...

Numerical Simulation of Two- Dimensional Complex Flows around Bluff Bodies Using the Immersed Boundary Method
This paper presents a two-dimensional numerical simulation of flows around different bluff bodies, at Re = 100 and 200, using the Immersed Boundary (IB) method, as a sequence of a previous work. The force density term required by the IB method is obtained with the Virtual Physical Model (VPM). Simulations were carried out for two circular cylinders of different diameter in tandem, two cylinders...
متن کاملFlow past two tandem circular cylinders using Spectral element method
In this paper, flow past around two circular cylinders which are tandem arranged at a Reynolds number of 200 is numerically investigated by spectral element method. To validate the numerical method for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, the benchmark problem of flow over a single circular cylinder is employed, with the numerical results in a good agreement with the available literatures.
