Abstract
* You are looking for an interesting test case for fluid-structure interaction in turbulent flow?
* You already had a look at the test case UFR 2-13 and think that this case is not challenging enough?
The investigation of the bidirectional coupling between a fluid flow
and a structure motion is a growing branch of research in science
and industry. Applications of so-called fluid-structure interactions
(FSI) are widespread. To improve coupled numerical FSI simulations,
generic experimental benchmark studies of the fluid and the
structure are necessary. In this work, the coupling of a
vortex-induced periodic deformation of a flexible structure mounted
behind a rigid cylinder and a fully turbulent water flow performed
at a Reynolds number of Re = 30,470 is experimentally
investigated with a planar particle image velocimetry (PIV) and a
volumetric three-component velocimetry (V3V) system. To determine
the structure displacements a multiple-point laser triangulation
sensor is used. The three-dimensional fluid velocity results show
shedding vortices behind the structure, which reaches the second
swiveling mode with a frequency of about 11.2 Hz
corresponding to a Strouhal number of St = 0.177. Providing
phase-averaged flow and structure measurements precise experimental
data for coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and
computational structure dynamics (CSD) validations are available for
this new benchmark case denoted FSI-PfS-2a. The test case possesses
four main advantages:
- (i) The geometry is rather simple;
- (ii) Kinematically, the rotation of the front cylinder is avoided;
- (iii) The boundary conditions are well defined;
- (iv) Nevertheless, the resulting flow features and structure displacements are challenging from the computational point of view.
