Numerical Analysis of the Flow around Two Square Cylinders in a Tandem Arrangement with Different Spacing Ratios Based on POD and DMD Methods
To more clearly understand the changes in flow characteristics around two square cylinders with different spacing ratios, the main mode of the flow field was extracted by using the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) methods. The changes in the main mode of the...

To more clearly understand the changes in flow characteristics around two square cylinders with different spacing ratios, the main mode of the flow field was extracted by using the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) methods. The changes in the main mode of the flow field at different spacing ratios and the difference of the time series were analyzed and compared. This processing can separate the mixed information in the flow field and obtain the dominant modes in the flow field. These main modes can clearly reflect the dominant flow characteristics in the flow field. The analysis results show that when L/D = 2, the flow field structure is consistent with the flow field around a single square cylinder. When L/D = 2.5–3.5, the vortex shedding from upstream cylinders combines with the vortex near the downstream cylinders. This mutual coupling causes a significant change in the drag coefficient value of the downstream cylinder. When L/D = 4, the main vortex from the upstream cylinder can be completely shed, which means that the upstream and downstream square cylinder vortices start to become independent. The main focus of this paper is to use the advantages of POD and DMD to obtain several modes with higher energy in the flow field. Furthermore, it can be considered that these main modes can fully reflect the flow characteristics of the flow field. |
