Flow Past

The current study investigates flow past a step cylinder for ReD = 1050 and D/d = 2 using both experimental and numerical methods. The focus of the study is on the vortex shedding and vortex interactions occurring in the step cylinder wake. Flow visualization with hydrogen bubble technique and planar Laser Induced Fluorescence has shown that three distinct spanwise vortex cells form: a single vortex shedding cell in the wake of the small cylinder and two vortex shedding cells in the wake of the large cylinder. Vortex connections form between the spanwise vortices in these cells downstream of the step, and vortex dislocations occur at cell boundaries. Complementary to the experimental tests, an LES-RANS hybrid numerical simulation is used to model the flow development. A comparison of the experimental and numerical results indicates that the numerical approach adequately models vortex dynamics in the wake of a step cylinder and, thus, may be used to analyze time dependent, three-dimensional flow topology which is difficult to characterize quantitatively using experimental methods.

This article presents the results for flow past a square cylinder and two square cylinders of the same and different sizes with corner modifications by varying the spacing ratio. Here, experimental work is conducted in a recirculatory channel filled with water. A set of aluminum discs made to rotate to create the flow in the test section. The motor is used to vary the speed of the water. Fine aluminum powder is used as a tracer medium. It is observed that vortex shedding frequency decreases by placing the second cylinder in the downstream of the first cylinder. For similar size cylinders, the width of the eddy in the middle of the cylinders increases with an increase in spacing ratio. With the increase of spacing ratio to 6, the flow past each cylinder behaves like a single square cylinder. If the upstream square cylinder size is smaller than the downstream square cylinder, the eddy size is reduced in between the cylinder compared to the downstream of the second cylinder. If the upstream square cylinder size is bigger than the downstream square cylinder, the eddy size is larger in between the cylinder compared to the downstream of the second cylinder.
