This research is aimed to investigate the fluid-elastic instability of the motion simulation using a single cylinder and two cylinders within the context of shear flows. T/D, shear parameter and mass ratio are parameters to be investigated. Besides, cylindrical motion treks and the amplitude are also analyzed.
Continuity equation and momentum equations are solved alternatively using a CFD package, Fluent 6.3.26. The force caused by the flow interacts with the cylindrical motion. Thus Motion meshing techniques together with the cylindrical motion equations are employed in the simulation. Under different flow conditions, flow types and cylindrical motion models, lock-in and fluid-elastic instability are studied.
The results show that motion and flow types of a single cylinder within the context of the uniform flow have a general agreement with the related literatures. In terms of the shear flow, however, as the shear parameter increases, the fluid-elastic instability is caused, and thus amplitude of the cylinder augments considerably. Further, double cylinders in the shear flow are studied. Double cylinder arrangements( classified as side-by-side and tandem) and the distance between cylinders are the factors to cause fluid-elastic instability. Compared with the single cylindrical motion, double cylindrical motion¡¦s critical flow velocity is smaller than the single cylindrical motion, which means double cylindrical motion are more subject to fluid-elastic instability.
