Abstract
To control the aerodynamic forces and near wake of a 3D wall-mounted square cylinder with an aspect ratio H/d = 5, pulsing slot suction is employed at its free-end leading edge. The present experiment is investigated in a wind tunnel with Reynolds number Re = 2.74 × 104. The pulsing suction ratio f∗, defined as the ratio of the pulsing suction frequency fs to the vortex shedding frequency fv, ranges from 0 to 1.6, corresponding to a momentum coefficient range of 0–0.03. The pulsing slot suction can greatly reduce the overall fluctuating drag and fluctuating lift of the cylinder. Aerodynamic suppression effect enhances with increasing f∗, and becomes stable for f∗ ≥ 0.6 ( ≥ 0.014). At f∗ = 0.6, the overall , and are reduced by 2.7%, 22.2% and 50.1%, respectively. The pulsing suction control causes periodic reattachment of the free-end shear flow to the cylinder's free end, forming large-scale vortex structures downstream of the cylinder, and enhancing the momentum exchange between wake and free flow. On the other hand, although the strength of spanwise vortex shedding is obviously weakened, its frequency remains unchanged at all tested f∗. Results from particle image velocimetry (PIV) show that the turbulent kinetic energy in the cylinder wake is significantly reduced. Analyses using the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) demonstrate that the periodicity of near-wake vortex structure is significantly suppressed.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the journal is to provide a means for the publication and interchange of information, on an international basis, on all those aspects of wind engineering that are included in the activities of the International Association for Wind Engineering http://www.iawe.org/. These are: social and economic impact of wind effects; wind characteristics and structure, local wind environments, wind loads and structural response, diffusion, pollutant dispersion and matter transport, wind effects on building heat loss and ventilation, wind effects on transport systems, aerodynamic aspects of wind energy generation, and codification of wind effects.
Papers on these subjects describing full-scale measurements, wind-tunnel simulation studies, computational or theoretical methods are published, as well as papers dealing with the development of techniques and apparatus for wind engineering experiments.
