A Data-Driven Approach for Generating Vortex Shedding Regime Maps for an Oscillating Cylinder
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)Recent developments in wind energy extraction methods from vortex-induced vibration (VIV) have fueled the research into vortex shedding behaviour. The vortex shedding map is vital for the consistent use of normalized ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of three equispaced cylinders in cross-flow
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-19)Flow around a cluster of three equally spaced cylinders with a spacing ratio of P/D = 1.35 was studied experimentally and numerically. The main focus of this investigation is the effect of cluster orientation on flow ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigations of the Flow Development over Circular Cylinders with Stepwise Discontinuities in Diameter
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-02)Flow past circular cylinders with stepwise discontinuities in diameter was investigated experimentally and numerically for the diameter ratio D/d = 2 and three Reynolds numbers, Re = 150, 300, and 1050. The investigation ... -
On the planar flow development and structural loading of cylinders with circular fins in cross-flow
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-14)Finned cylinders are commonly encountered in the design of heat exchangers. Critical to the design and performance of a heat exchanger are the mean and fluctuating loading on the tubes, as they relate to pressure losses ... -
Three-dimensional wake development and structural loading on dual step cylinders in cross-flow
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-31)Many cylindrical structures in engineering applications undergo flow-induced periodic loading due to the vortex shedding phenomenon. This can lead to early fatigue failure and be a source of unwanted noise. To mitigate or ...
