Vibrations of small cylinder in jet flow

Vibrations of small cylinder in a jet flow are investigated experimentally. Because of the flow field in shear layers of jet flow is very complex and filled with vortex structures, so the flow induced vibration phenomena in jet flow is different from the flow induced vibration in uniform flow. The major subject in this experiment is to discuss the major cause of small cylinder vibrations, and the flow field influenced by the cylinder vibration.
About flow measurement, velocity measurement by hot-wire is applied. As for the vibration measurement, by using the principle of electromagnetic, a new measurement technology was successfully developed. This new vibration measurement can measure the vibrations in two axial, so as to describe the orbit of vibrations. To find the interrelation of flow field and cylinder vibrations, flow measurement and vibration measurement was carry on at the same time.
It is shown that when the jet velocity is increased constantly, small cylinder will vibration intensely. The fixed velocity is called critical velocity. If add a perturb, the vibration will occur in advance. The dominant frequency of cylinder vibration, fr, will be the same with it's nature frequency, fn, in the critical velocity, but when the flow velocity keep on increasing, the dominant frequency, fr, will also increase. Besides, the relation of reduced velocity and mass damping was found in this case. The orbits of vibrations are all like ellipse, and the orbit is different with different reduced velocity. The vibration amplitude be changed into three sections that have different reduced velocity, and different orbit.
About the flow field, the velocity profile in potential core is not influenced by vibrations of small cylinder, but the velocity fluctuations in shear layer indeed be inflected. At the fixed velocity region, the dominant frequency of flow is the same with dominant frequency of vibrations when the flow at downstream of small cylinder in shear layer. This phenomena only exist when the vibration amplitude under the fixed range.
