Physical Phenomena

The flow past a circular cylinder at a subcritical Reynolds number 3900 was simulated by the method of detached-eddy simulation (DES). The objective of this present work is not to investigate the physical phenomena of the flow but to study modeling as well as numerical aspects which influence the quality of DES solutions in detail. Firstly, four typical spanwise lengths are chosen and the results are systematically compared. The trend of DES results along the span increment is different from previous large-eddy simulation (LES) investigation. A wider spanwise length does not necessary improve the results. Then, the influence of mesh resolution is studied and found that both too coarse and over refined grids will deteriorate the performance of DES. Finally, different orders of numerical schemes are applied in the inviscid fluxes and the viscous terms. The discrepancies among different schemes are found tiny. However, the instantaneous flow structures produced by 5th order WENO with 4th order central differencing scheme are more abundant than the others. That is, for the time-averaged quantities, the second-order accurate schemes are effective enough, whereas the higher-order accurate methods are needed to resolve the transient characteristics of the flow.

Results of a numerical evaluation of transitional flow around a circular cylinder forced to oscillate in a direction normal to a uniform flow are presented. The cylinder is considered to be a representative of a single riser exposed to a steady current. Numerical simulations were carried out using the LES method in 2-D and 3-D with a near-wall approach that was developed without using a “law of the wall” for a finite element code (FEM). The 3-D simulations were compared with the 2-D results and experimental data in order to assess the relative performance of the 3-D LES simulations. The results show that 3-D LES gives more realistic flow field predictions and can further remove overconservatism in the prediction of hydrodynamic force coefficients. [S0098-2202(00)01103-2]
