Vortex-induced vibrations of three tandem cylinders in proximity to a plane boundary in oscillatory flow
摘要
This work presents a numerical investigation into the two-degree-of-freedom vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of three elastically mounted tandem circular cylinders located in a close proximity to a plane boundary and subjected to an oscillatory flow at a constant Keulegan-Carpenter number (KC) of 10. A transient two-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) model, coupled with a structural dynamic model, is employed to examine the effects of gap ratios of 1.5, 2.5, 5 and center-to-center spacing ratios of 2, 3, 4 over a reduced velocity range from 2 to 15. The results indicate that the lock-in regime occurs for 5 ≤
