Cylinders And Spheres

The unsteady inviscid force on cylinders and spheres in subcritical compressible flow is investigated. In the limit of incompressible flow, the unsteady inviscid force on a cylinder or sphere is the so-called added-mass force that is proportional to the product of the mass displaced by the body and the instantaneous acceleration. In compressible flow, the finite acoustic propagation speed means that the unsteady inviscid force arising from an instantaneously applied constant acceleration develops gradually and reaches steady values only for non-dimensional times c ∞ t / R ≳10, where c ∞ is the freestream speed of sound and R is the radius of the cylinder or sphere. In this limit, an effective added-mass coefficient may be defined. The main conclusion of our study is that the freestream Mach number has a pronounced effect on both the peak value of the unsteady force and the effective added-mass coefficient. At a freestream Mach number of 0.5, the effective added-mass coefficient is about twice as large as the incompressible value for the sphere. Coupled with an impulsive acceleration, the unsteady inviscid force in compressible flow can be more than four times larger than that predicted from incompressible theory. Furthermore, the effect of the ratio of specific heats on the unsteady force becomes more pronounced as the Mach number increases.

Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) of elastically mounted rigid cylinders, with low mass-damping parameter values, are strongly dependent on the added mass coefficient. This paper aims to contribute to the technical literature by presenting some results from experiments carried out at University of Sa˜o Paulo – USP and at the Sa˜o Paulo State Technological Research Institute – IPT. A cantilevered rigid cylinder was mounted on an elastic (leaf spring) two-degree-of-freedom device. The device is not only an elastic support, but acts also as a special mechanical transducer to measure accelerations/forces/displacements in the stream-wise (x) and the cross-wise (y) directions. A comprehensive experimental calibration of such a device was carried out, both “in air” and “in water”. The added mass coefficient in the cross-wise direction was indirectly determined from forces and acceleration measurements as a function of the reduced velocity. Results from time-domain and frequency-domain analyses are compared with those obtained by Vikestad et al. (2000) [1].

Wall Proximity

This paper studies the effect of wall proximity and wall curvature on the added mass coefficient of a spherical bubble. Results are based on a semi-analytical method. This information is essential to completely characterize finely dispersed bubbly flows in two-phase cross flow. In such flows small spherical gas bubbles are present in a continuous liquid phase close to a cylinder. This paper uses solid harmonics to solve 3D potential flow around a bubble and a wall. A new technique is developed to calculate the flow potential around a sphere and a cylinder using solid harmonics. Several configurations were calculated: one bubble close to an infinite wall, one bubble close to a cylinder and one bubble close to a spherical wall. Our results are compared with previous studies. As expected added mass forces increase in the vicinity of the wall and for lower curvature. The main purpose of this work is to understand the effect of wall curvature and proximity on added mass. These results are suitable for further use, particularly as added mass models for multiphase flow averaged equations.

Added Mass Coefficient

This paper proposes a relation for the added mass coefficient of spherical bubbles depending on void fraction based on results obtained by a semi-analytical method. This information is essential to completely characterize finely dispersed bubbly flows, where small spherical gas bubbles are present in a continuous liquid phase. Most of the closure relations for Euler-Euler or Euler-Lagrange models are obtained from experiments involving single bubbles. Their applicability to systems with high void fraction is therefore questionable. This paper uses solid harmonics to solve 3D potential flow around bubbles. Several configurations were calculated for different numbers of particles and spatial arrangements. Our results are compared with previous studies. Depending on the model proposed by previous authors, added mass forces could increase or decrease with the void fraction. This paper solves these discrepancies. The main purpose of this work is to develop simple formulas fitting our semi-analytical results. These simple formulas are suitable for further use, particularly as added mass models for multiphase flow averaged equations.

The Added Mass Coefficient computation of sphere, ellipsoid and marine propellers using Boundary Element Method Added mass is an important and effective dynamic coefficient in accelerating, non uniform motion as a result of fluid accelerating around a body. It plays an important role, especially in vessel roll motion, control parameters as well as in analyzing the local and global vibration of a vessel and its parts like propellers and rudders. In this article, calculating the Added Mass Coefficient has been examined for a sphere, ellipsoid, marine propeller and hydrofoil; using numerical Boundary Element Method. Since an Ellipsoid and a sphere have simple geometric shapes and the Analytical values of their added mass coefficients are available, so that the results of added mass matrix are obtained and evaluated, using the boundary element method. Then the added mass matrix is computed in a given geometrical and flow specifications for a specific propeller and its results are studied versus experimental results, which it's current numerical data In comparison with other numerical methods has a good conformity with experimental results. The most important advantage of the method in determining the added mass matrix coefficients for the surface and underwater vessels and the marine propellers is extracting all the added mass coefficients with very good Accuracy, while in other numerical methods it is impossible to extract all the coefficients with the Desired Accuracy.

Averaging Techniques

The rolling motion of a sphere on a smooth plane boundary in a simple-harmonic water motion has been analytically and experimentally investigated. For spheres having specific gravities ranging from 0·09 to 15·18 the sphere motion was found to be sinusoidal for both low and high values of the period parameter defined by Keulegan & Carpenter. The knowledge of the sphere motion, and hence the resultant force, allowed the determination of inertia and drag coefficients from Fourier-averaging techniques. Experiments in the inertial range yielded an added-mass coefficient of 1·2, compared with 0·67 from inviscid theory for translating spheres. For values of the period parameter greater than 30 the drag coefficient is reported to be approximately 0·74.

In this paper, an analysis is applied to a hybrid airship considering the added mass. First, based on the dynamic mesh technology, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is employed to obtain the added mass coefficient matrix. Through a validation process using the 6:1 prolate spheroid, the 6 × 6 added mass matrix of hybrid airship is obtained. After a dynamic modeling, the equations of motion with added mass are developed. Through the linearization based on small perturbation, the linearized longitude model is used to simulate the dynamic response of a trim condition. The take-off and landing performance has been analyzed and affected by the added mass. The result shows an obvious vertical destabilizing trend on the hybrid airship dynamics due to the added mass and the inertial effect has little influence on the vehicle during the take-off and landing.

Ship Speed

The added-mass coefficients for a tanker ship in sway motion are examined experimentally for plastic impact in very shallow water. Marked differences between the elastic and plastic cases are found. Al-though energy and momentum coefficients have similar values in elastic impacts, they differ increasingly in plastic impacts as the duration of impact increases. Unexpectedly, the energy added-mass coefficient does not appear to be sensitive to underkeel clearance, which has a significant effect on the coefficient in elastic condition. There is no difference between current-driven and wind-driven tests for the plastic case. However, in the elastic case there is an increase in the energy added-mass coefficient as the ratio of current velocity to ship speed increases, suggesting added care is needed in designing elastic fendering systems against impact from a drifting ship.
