In an effort to gain a better understanding of the VIV phenomena, we present three-dimensional numerical simulations of VIV of circular cylinders. We consider operating conditions that correspond to high Reynolds number flow, low structural damping, and allow for two-degree of freedom motion. The numerical implementation makes use of overset (Chimera) grids, in a multiple block environment where the workload associated with the blocks is distributed among multiple processors working in parallel. The three-dimensional grids around the cylinder are allowed to undergo arbitrary motions with respect to fixed background grids, eliminating the need for tedious grid regeneration at every time step.

In an effort to gain a better understanding of vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), we present three-dimensional numerical simulations of VIV of circular cylinders. We consider operating conditions that correspond to a Reynolds number of 105, low structural mass and damping (m*=1.0, ζ*=0.005), a reduced velocity of U*=6.0, and allow for two degree-of-freedom (X and Y) motion. The numerical implementation makes use of overset (Chimera) grids, in a multiple block environment where the workload associated with the blocks is distributed among multiple processors working in parallel. The three-dimensional grid around the cylinder is allowed to undergo arbitrary motions with respect to fixed background grids, eliminating the need for grid regeneration as the structure moves on the fluid mesh.


In this chapter the theoretical equations for fluctuating pressures due to vertical and streamwise gate motions developed in Chapters 4 and 5 are used to derive equations of motion for long-span gates with underflow, overflow and simultaneous over- and underflow. Theoretical development of analysis methods is supported by laboratory and full-scale measurements. Specifically, this chapter considers long-span gate instabilities including one degree-of-freedom vibration of gates with underflow and free discharge, one degree-of-freedom vibration of a gate with submerged discharge and vortex shedding excitation, a two degree-of-freedom vibration of long-span gates with only underflow, and two degrees-of-freedom vibration of long-span gates with simultaneous over and underflow. A method is developed to predict pressure loading on the crest of the gate with overflow.

We simulate the flow past smooth and rough rigid circular cylinders that are either bare or outfitted with helical stakes. We consider operating conditions that correspond to high Reynolds numbers of 105 and 106, and allow for two degree-of-freedom motions when the structure is allowed to respond to vortex-induced cross flow and in-line forces. The computations are performed using a parallelized Navier-Stokes in-house solver using overset grids. For smooth surface simulations at a Reynolds number of 105, we use a Smagorinsky Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model and for the Reynolds number cases of 106 we make use of the unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations with a two-layer k-epsilon turbulence model. The rough surface modifications of the two-layer k-epsilon turbulence model due to Durbin et al. (ASME J. Fluids Eng., 2001) are implemented to account for surface roughness effects. In all our computations we aim to resolve the boundary layer directly by using adequate grid spacing in the near-wall region. The predicted global flow parameters under different surface conditions are in good agreement with experimental data and significant VIV suppression is observed when using helically straked cylinders.
