Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 航空太空工程學系 === 86 === The major purpose of this thesis is to simulate the vortex shedding phenomenon of vortex flowmeter by a numerical method. The numerical method uses three dimensional artificial compressibility method to solve the incompressible flow field, uses high order finite-volume technique for the convective terms and handles the viscous terms by a finite volume tecnique. A second-order, two step Runge-Kutta time integration is used here. For unsteady problems the Crank-Nicolson method is used in this thesis. An implicit residual smoothing is applied here for improving convergence rate. Multi-zone grid technique is applied in complex-domain computations.Two dimensional and three dimensional bluff bodies and circular tubes were tested here to verify reliability of the numerical method. After the above tests, the results of two dimensional and three dimensional models were compared each other. Finally, the phenomenon of flow fields of the flowmeter with splitter plate and without the splitter plate were compared and investigated here. Several Reynolds numbers were chosen. Under these Reynolds numbers the variations of , versus time were computed. And results were analyzed by FFT to compute the dominated frequency. The results indicate that the flowmeter with splitter plate will have more clear dominated frequency.
