Flow-induced vibrations (FIV) of four identical circular cylinders placed in a square arrangement are numerically investigated. Modeled as a spring-damping system subjected to uniform flows, each cylinder is allowed to freely oscillate with equal natural frequencies in the inline and transverse directions. The spacing ratio, LID, remains 5, where L is the central distance of any two adjacent cylinders and D the cylinder diameter. The Reynolds numbers are chosen as Re=80 and 160. The incidence angle of the incoming uniform flow is alpha=0 degrees. The mass ratio for each cylinder is M-r=6.0 and the reduce velocity, U-r, varies from 3 to 14. The coupled system is numerically resolved by a semi-implicit characteristics-based split (CBS) finite element algorithm under the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian description. The calculated results are analyzed in detail. In particular, some intrinsic mechanisms are interpreted on the cylinder responses and the wake patterns. The unsymmetrical figures of 8 and O, and other irregular figures are observed in the cylinders' X-Y trajectories. Besides the 4S wake pattern, the 2P+2S pattern is discovered herein. The dual-resonance phenomenon, which indicates the cylinders' synchronizations occurring in both the inline and transverse directions, is detected in this work. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Esmaeel Eftekharian, Fatemeh Salehi, Yaping He, Kenny C. S. Kwok

Summary: This study used Large Eddy Simulations (LES) to investigate the effects of fire on wind flow characteristics. The results showed that higher flame temperature led to stronger wind enhancement and fire-induced pressure gradients. Additionally, baroclinic generation of vorticity decreased with distance from the fire source, but was stronger in scenarios with higher flame temperatures, resulting in greater flow enhancement.

On the edge-based smoothed finite element approximation of viscoelastic fluid flows

Tao He

Summary: This article discusses the numerical simulation of viscoelastic fluid flows using the edge-based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM), which decouples the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the Oldroyd-B constitutive relation. The method allows for the use of equal-order interpolation and utilizes linear three-node triangular elements for spatial discretization. The edge-based smoothing cells facilitate gradient smoothing, and new integration points are proposed within local smoothing cells. The discrete viscoelastic system is formulated in the edge-based notion, allowing for easy smoothing of all gradient-related terms.

An Edge-Based Smoothed Finite-Element Method for Vortex-Induced Vibration in Generalized Newtonian Fluids

Tao He, Xu-Yan Zhang, Wen-Juan Yao

Summary: This paper presents the application of an edge-based smoothed finite-element method (ESFEM) to study vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a circular cylinder in generalized Newtonian fluids. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, incorporating power-law and Carreau-Yasuda viscosity models, are solved using a characteristic-based split scheme under the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian description. The equation of motion for an elastically supported circular cylinder subjected to the flow of the generalized Newtonian fluid is derived using the generalize-a method. The discretization of space is based on a three-node triangular element, which is particularly suitable for ESFEM. New integration points are proposed in local smoothing domains to improve the weak-form approximation. The fluidic excitation acting on the submerged cylinder is also determined based on the edge-based notion. Grid nodes are rearranged using a cost-effective moving submesh approach. A mass source term is included in the current context to satisfy the geometric conservation law for ESFEM. The tightly coupled mechanical system is solved using a fixed-point iterative procedure. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through the comparison with available data for two non-Newtonian VIV examples.

Summary: This study investigated and compared the compression responses and energy absorption capacities of coral sand and silica sand at a strain rate of approximately 1000 s-1. The results showed that coral sand had significantly higher energy absorption capacity than silica sand due to its higher compressibility. The study findings suggest that using poorly graded coral sand can improve its energy absorption capacity.

Double-averaged turbulence statistics of wave current flow over rough bed with staggered arrangement of hemispherical blocks

Jayanta Shounda, Krishnendu Barman, Koustuv Debnath

Summary: This study investigates the double-average turbulence characteristics of combined wave-current flow over a rough bed with different spacing arrangements. The results show that a spacing ratio of p/r=4 offers the highest resistance to the flow, and the double-average Reynolds stress decreases throughout the flow depth. The advection of momentum-flux of normal stress shows an increase at the outer layer and a decrease near the bed region after wave imposition. Maximum turbulence kinetic energy production and diffusion occur at different layers. The turbulence structure is strongly anisotropic at the bottom region and near the outer layer, with a decrease in anisotropy observed with an increase in roughness spacing.

Influence of blocking ratio on hydrodynamic force on deep-water pier under earthquake

Hangyuan Zhang, Wanli Yang, Dewen Liu, Xiaokun Geng, Wangyu Dai, Yuzhi Zhang

Summary: The deep-water bridge is more vulnerable to earthquake damage than the bridge standing in air. The larger blocking ratio has a significant impact on the added mass coefficient, which requires further comprehensive study. The generation mechanism of block effect is analyzed using numerical simulation software ANSYS Fluent. The results show that the recirculation zone with focus reduces the pressure on the back surface of the cylinder, resulting in the peak value of in-line force not occurring synchronously with the peak value of acceleration. The change in position and intensity of the recirculation zone with focus, as well as the change in water flow around the cylinder surface, are identified as the generation mechanism of the block effect, which has a 10% influence on the hydrodynamic force. The changing rule of the added mass coefficient with blocking ratio is discussed in detail, and a modification approach to the current added mass coefficient calculation method is suggested. Physical experiments are conducted to validate the modification approach, and the results show that it is accurate and can be used in further study and real practice.
