The Lighthill acoustic analogy approach combined with Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes is used to predict the sound generated by unsteady viscous ow past a circular cylinder assuming a correlation length of ten cylinder diameters. The twodimensional unsteady ow eld is computed using two NavierStokes codes at a low Mach number over a range of Reynolds numbers from 100 to 5 million. Both laminar o...

A reinterpretation is made of previously published data concerning the frequency of the instability waves in the separated shear layer from a circular cylinder for Reynolds numbers in the range 103–105. An accurate fit to the observed variation can be achieved using a piecewise fit based on theoretical and empirical arguments. A logical conclusion is that the ratio of the frequency of the insta...

Stress and deformation analysis of the simple shear at finite strain of a strainhardening elastoplastic hollow circular cylinder is given. Both isotropic and anisotropic hardening models are considered. In the case of isotropic hardening, there is a closed form analytical solution. No normal stresses exist in this case. Purely kinematic hardening with a Mises-type yield condition is utilized as...

In this paper, the sediment-laden flow around a circular cylinder is numerically simulated in order to obtain better understanding of hydrodynamics associated. A range of cases with different Reynolds numbers (Re) are studies. The effects of the concentration of the sediment on the drag coefficient are investigated. Results show that due to the fact that the laden sand particle colliding the cy...

This study is focused on twoand three-dimensional incompressible flow past a circular cylinder for Reynolds number Re 6 1000. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the suppression of unsteadiness for this flow we determine the nonlinear optimal open-loop control driven by surface-normal wall transpiration. The spanwise-constant wall transpiration is allowed to oscillate in time, althou...

A numerical simulation of vortex-induced vibration of a 2-dimensional elastic circular cylinder with two degree of freedom under the uniform flow is calculated when Reynolds is 200. 2-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the space-time finite element method, the equation of the cylinder motion is solved with the new explicit integral method and the mesh renew is ac...

The classical problem of suppressing vortex shedding in the wake of a circular cylinder by using body rotation is revisited in an adjoint-based optimal control framework. The cylinder’s unsteady and fully unconstrained rotation rate is optimized at Reynolds numbers between 75 and 200 and over horizons that are longer than in previous studies, where they are typically of the order of a vortex sh...

In order to reduce aerodynamic noise radiated from the turbulent wake of bluff bodies, vorticity structures and flow field around a rotating circular cylinder at Reynolds numbers between 102 and 104 were numerically investigated. Vorticity structures and resultant aerodynamic noise is strongly dependant on the velocity ratio, which is defined as flow velocity over rotational speed to the cylind...

Two conformal Finite-Di erence Time-Domain (FDTD) methods are considered, which eliminate the e ects of the stair-step approximation inherent at low points per wavelength (PPW). The rst, proposed by Jurgens et al. [IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., 40, 357{366, 1992], uses the contour path method. The second, proposed by Yee et al. [IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., 40, 1068{1075, 1992], uses overl...

Mark Thompson Kerry Hourigan John Sheridan Department of Mechanical Engineering, Monash University, Clayton, Australia • The twoand three-dimensional wake structure behind a circular cylinder has been computed using a high-order spectral element technique. For the two-dimensional computations the predictions are compared with accurate experimental results and agree to within experimental uncert...
