Abstract
A numerical analysis of fluid-body interaction is performed in this work in order to evaluate the influence of vortex and tornado-like flows on immersed objects. Velocity profile models are adopted to generate vortical flow fields based on time-dependent boundary conditions and a finite element formulation is used for spatial discretization, where eight-node hexahedral elements with one-point integration are adopted. In addition, an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach is proposed to describe the relative motion between vortex flow and immersed objects. The flow governing equations are discretized using an explicit two-step Taylor-Galerkin scheme and tornado flow fields are simulated using the Rankine Combined Vortex Model (RCVM) and the Vatistas Model. Turbulence modeling is performed using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with the Smagorinsky’s sub-grid scale model. Problems involving moving and stationary tornadoes interacting with fixed and moving objects are analyzed, where significant aerodynamic forces are observed on the immersed bodies, producing also significant changes in the
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
