Careful Measurement

Experiments were carried out using models having L/D [les ] 2 and the resulting pressure distributions and vortex shedding characteristics are presented. A simple visualization technique which provides explanations of some of the measured results is described. It is concluded that splitter planes reduce the drag markedly by stabilizing the separation points and produce a wake narrower than that for a plain cylinder, raise the base pressure by as much as 50% and affect the Strouhal number to a lesser degree. Careful measurement techniques have enabled these effects to be presented accurately.

Good Agreement

Flow over a circular cylinder with detached short splitter-plates is numerically simulated in order to assess the suppression of periodic vortex shedding. A finite-volume solver based on the Cartesian-staggered grid is implemented, and the ghost-cell method in conjunction with Great-Source-Term technique is employed in order to enforce directly the no-slip condition on the cylinder boundary. The accuracy of the solver is validated by simulation of the flow around a single circular cylinder. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature. Finally, the flows over a circular cylinder with splitter-plate in its downstream (off and on the centerline) are computed in Re=40 as a nonvortex shedding case and in Re=100 and 150 as cases with vortex shedding effects. The same simulations are also performed for the case where dual splitter-plates are in a parallel arrangement embedded in the downstream of the cylinder. The optimum location of the splitter-plate to achieve maximum reduction in the lift and drag forces is determined.

Shear Parameter

The frequency of vortex shedding from a circular cylinder in a uniform shear flow and the flow patterns around it were experimentally investigated. The Reynolds number Re, which was defined in terms of the cylinder diameter and the approaching velocity at its centre, ranged from 35 to 1500. The shear parameter, which is the transverse velocity gradient of the shear flow non-dimensionalized by the above two quantities, was varied from 0 to 0·25. The critical Reynolds number beyond which vortex shedding from the cylinder occurred was found to be higher than that for a uniform stream and increased approximately linearly with increasing shear parameter when it was larger than about 0·06. In the Reynolds-number range 43 < Re < 220, the vortex shedding disappeared for sufficiently large shear parameters. Moreover, in the Reynolds-number range 100 < Re < 1000, the Strouhal number increased as the shear parameter increased beyond about 0·1.
