| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 機械與機電工程學系研究所 === 93 === The present study aims to explore dynamical behavior of the fluid-elastic instability of a circular cylinder in shear flow by numerical simulations. The theoretical model comprises two groups of transient conservation equations of mass and momentum and the governing equations are solved numerically with an iterative SIMPLEC(Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations Consistent) algorithm to determine the flow property and to analysis structure stress simultaneously. Additionally, the TFI (Transfinite interpolation) computation procedure is applied to characterize the behavior of fluid-structure interaction. The predictions are in reasonable agreement with literature showing the validity of the present theoretical model. The numerical results indicate that there is a transverse force acting from high velocity side toward the low velocity side in shear flow. The magnitude of this transverse force increases with the shear parameter. The Strouhal number slightly increases as the shear parameter increases for all Reynolds number. As the pattern of the approach flow changes from the uniform to shear flow, the front stagnation point shifts to high velocity side, and the base pressure increase. The magnitude of the shift of front stagnation point is linear with the shear parameter. Furthermore, this study appraises the amplitude and orbit of fluid elastic vibration of a circular cylinder in shear flow, and shows the effects of the spring constant and damping factor on fluid elastic vibration of the cylinder. In addition, various effects including shear parameter and mass ratio on the critical velocity of the fluid elastic vibration also has been examined detail.
