Effect Of Surface

In this paper, first, the principle, structures, operations, and performances of the cryogenic wind tunnel are described. By changing the pressure, temperature and velocity of gas a high Reynolds-number flow(5×104<Re<107)can be obtained. From the research results, a high Reynolds-number flow with comparatively low power, LN consumptions was attained. It was with Mach-number independent of each other, o show some examples of high Reynolds-number flow, the effects of surface roughness and grooves on the surface of a cylinder on the flow are measured using models with various values of roughness and size. A model test of an airship was also conducted. With the high Reynolds-number flow, the thickness of the boundary layer becomes thinner. Then the surface conditions of a body have great effect on the flow phenomena and on the drag of the body. Some attempts to reduce the drag of the body were shown.

This paper presents numerical results for flow-induced oscillations of an elastically supported circular cylinder, which is immersed in a high Reynolds number flow. The flow-induced oscillations of the circular cylinder at subcritical Reynolds numbers have been investigated by many researchers, and the interested phenomena with respect to the oscillations have been found in a wide range of the Scruton number. For the flow-induced oscillation of the circular cylinder with high mass ratio, it is well-known that there is the peak value of amplitudes at near the critical reduced velocity. Therefore, we computer flow-induced oscillations of a circular cylinder with a mass ratio of 8, which is placed in a high Reynolds number flow, by three-dimensional simulation, and the numerical results are compared with the results of flow-induced oscillations of the circular cylinder immersed in a subcritical Reynolds number flow.
