Vortex Patterns

Main features of the formation of vortex street from free shear layers emanating from two-dimensional bluff bodies placed in uniform shear flow which is a model of a laminar boundary layer along a solid wall. This problem is concerned with the mechanism governing transition induced by small bluff bodies suspended in a laminar boundary layer. Calculations show that the background vorticity of shear flow promotes the rolling up of the vortex sheet of the same sign whereas it decelerates that of the vortex sheet of the opposite sign. The steady configuration of the conventional Karman vortex street is not possible in shear flow. Theoretical vortex patterns are experimentally examined by a flow-visualization technique.

Fluid flow around single or multiple bluff bodies mounted on a surface has great significance in science and engineering. Understanding the characteristics of different vortices formed around wall-mounted bodies is quite necessary for different applications. Although the case of a single surface mounted cube has been studied extensively, only little attention has been paid to the flow around two or more rectangular blocks in array. Therefore, a CFD code is developed to calculate three dimensional steady state laminar fluid flow around two cuboids of arbitrary size and configuration mounted on a surface in free stream conditions. The employed numerical scheme is finite volume and SIMPLE algorithm is used to treat pressure and velocity coupling. Results are presented for two rectangular blocks of the different size mounted on a surface in various inline arrangements. Streamlines are plotted for blocks of different size ratio. Velocity and pressure distributions are also plotted in the wake region behind the obstacles. It is shown that how the behavior of flow field and vortical structures depend on the respective size and location of the larger block in comparison with the case of two inline wall mounted cubes of the same size.

ABSTRACTIn this study, fluid flow around bluff bodies are studied to examine the vortex shedding phenomenon in conjuction with the geometrical shapes of these vortex shedders. These flow phenomena are numerically simulated. A finite volume method is employed to solve the incompressible two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Thus, quantitative descriptions of the vortex shedding phenomenon in the near wake were made, which lead to a detailed description of the vortex shedding mechanism. Streamline contours, figures of lift coefficent, and figures of drag coefficent in various time, are presented, respectively, for a physical description.
