In this numerical study, we build response surfaces of two degree-of-freedom vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of flexibly mounted cylinders for a wide range of transverse and in-line natural frequencies. We consider both the structure and the flow to be two-dimensional and the structure has a low mass damping. The emphasis is put on the representation of the hydrodynamic loads acting on the cylinder in response to the change in the natural frequencies of the structure. The system is sampled for a wide range of natural frequencies within the synchronization region, totaling 149 two-dimensional flow-structure simulations. The parametric range of the in-line frequency is chosen to be larger than the one of the transverse frequency in order to favor multi-modal responses. No preferred frequencies are emphasized within the intervals of study. The fully spectral numerical approach relies on a stochastic collocation method coupled to a spectral element-based deterministic solver.

AbstractWith the rapid development of traffic infrastructure in China, the problem of crystal plugging of tunnel drainage pipes becomes increasingly salient. In order to build a mechanism that is resilient to the crystal plugging of flocking drainage pipes, the present study used the numerical simulation to analyze the two-dimensional flow field distribution characteristics of flocking drainage pipes under different flocking spacings. Then, the results were compared with the laboratory test results. According to the results, the maximum velocity distribution in the flow field of flocking drainage pipes is closely related to the transverse distance h of the fluff, while the longitudinal distance h of the fluff causes little effect; when the transverse distance h of the fluff is less than 6.25D (D refers to the diameter of the fluff), the velocity between the adjacent transverse fluffs will be increased by more than 10%. Moreover, the velocity of the upstream and downstream fluffs will be decreased by 90% compared with that of the inlet; the crystal distribution can be more obvious in the place with larger velocity while it is less at the lower flow rate. The results can provide theoretical support for building a mechanism to deal with and remove the crystallization of flocking drainage pipes.
