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 ? 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.
