Multimode vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of slender risers, respectively, in stepped and shear flows is explored by finite element simulations. Taking account of the interaction between fluid and structure, a hydrodynamic model is proposed and embedded into the finite element simulation so as to carry out dynamic response of multimode VIV in time-domain. Multimode VIV in both stepped and shear flow fields is examined. In the case of stepped flow, a semi-empirical formula of modal weight is given. In the case of shear flow, modal excitation region can be determined based on modal energy, and participating modes approximately distribute in scattering groups.

Abstract Road traffic noise needs to be reduced, because traffic volume is increasing every year. The noise generated from a tire is becoming one of the dominant sources in the total traffic noise because the engine noise is constantly being reduced by the vehicle manufacturers. Although the acoustic intensity measurement technology has been enhanced by the recent developments in digital measurement techniques, repetitive measurements are necessary to find effective ways for noise control. Hence, a simulation method to predict generated noise is required to replace the time-consuming experiments. The boundary element method (BEM) is applied to predict the acoustic radiation caused by the vibration of a tire sidewall and a tire noise prediction system is developed. The BEM requires the geometry and the modal characteristics of a tire which are provided by an experiment or the finite element method (FEM). Since the finite element procedure is applied to the prediction of modal characteristics in a tire noise prediction system, the acoustic pressure can be predicted without any measurements. Furthermore, the acoustic contribution analysis obtained from the post-processing of the predicted results is very helpful to know where and how the design change affects the acoustic radiation. The predictability of this system is verified by measurements and the acoustic contribution analysis is applied to tire noise control.
