This paper deals with the nonlinear interaction between vortex-induced vibration of a spring-supported cylinder and unsteady fluid flow in a narrow channel. In particular, we remark the stiffness of the spring with which the cylinder is supported, and investigate the influence of the stiffness on the above nonlinear interactions. Such a problem becomes very important in micro systems where the force acting on a surface area can’t be neglected compared with that acting on a volume, and the flow is laminar at low Reynolds number. In this paper, the motion of the cylinder and the fluid velocity are synchronously measured with an angular displacement meter and a PIV system. Furthermore, the theoretical results are obtained by solving the simultaneous equations governing motion of the cylinder and fluid flow numerically, in order to compare with the experimental results. Finally, we examine the unsteady fluid force acting on the cylinder theoretically.

This paper studies the nonlinear interactions between vortex-induced vibration of a spring-supported circular cylinder and the unsteady fluid flow in a narrow channel. The analytical model consists of two-dimensional incompressible viscous flow in a narrow channel at low Reynolds number, and the spring-supported cylinder that can move perpendicular to the wall of the channel. The marker-and-cell (MAC) method is used to calculate numerically the simultaneous equations governing the interaction between the motion of the cylinder and the unsteady fluid flow. Furthermore the numerical results are confirmed by experiments presented herein.

Fluid flow in curved channels with various cross-sections, as a common problem in theoretical and applied fluid mechanics, is a very complex and quite undiscovered phenomenon. Defining the optimum shape of the fluid flow boundaries, which would ensure minimum undesirable phenomena, like "dead water" zones, unsteady fluid flow, etc., is one of the crucial hydraulic engineering?s task. Method of kinetic balance is described and used for this purpose, what is illustrated with few examples. .

Face throttles are a necessary functional element of non-contact face seals and automatic balancing devices of centrifugal pumps of different constructions. To calculate the hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on the rotor and fluid flow through the automatic balancing device, it is necessary to know the pressure distribution in the cylindrical and face throttle when considering all important factors which predetermine fluid flow. The face throttle surfaces are moving, which leads to unsteady fluid flow. The movement of the walls of the face throttle causes an additional circumferential and radial flow, which subsequently leads to the additional hydrodynamic pressure components. The paper analyses viscous incompressible fluid flow in the face throttle of an automatic balancing device taking into account the axial and angular displacements of throttle’s surfaces and the inertia component of the fluid. The effect of local hydraulic losses as well as random changes in the coefficients of local hydraulic resistance at the inlet and outlet of the throttle is analysed.
