However, an actual case of vortex shedding from a chemical plant distillation column revealed that pipework on the outside of the column can cause the vibration to be significantly enhanced in comparison to that of a bare cylinder. This observation contradicts the commonly held view that equipment and pipework on the outside of cylinders reduces the effects of vortex shedding. Wind tunnel studies on a fully flexible sectional model of the column indicated that in some cases relatively small pipework can increase the vibration by a factor of three in comparison to the vibration of a plain cylinder. The case history, the wind tunnel studies and the solution adopted for the column are described in this paper.","PeriodicalId":146109,"journal":{"name":"4th International Symposium on Fluid-Structure Interactions, Aeroelasticity, Flow-Induced Vibration and Noise: Volume I","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115264031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this case the coupled fluid-mechanical system has two different natural frequencies that are neither pure structural properties nor acoustical. Consequently the fluid-plate arrangement can not be studied separately for the structural and acoustical resonances.

The governing equations of motion for two-mode interaction are derived based on a general continuum model. The interaction causes the modal differential equations of the cable to be non-self-adjoint. As the flow speed increases above a certain critical value, the cable experiences oscillatory motion similar to the flutter of aeroelastic structures. A coordinate transformation in terms of the transverse and stretching motions of the cable is introduced to reduce the two nonlinearly coupled differential equations into a linear ordinary differential equation governing the stretching motion, and a strongly nonlinear differential equation for the transverse motion. For small values of gravity-to-stiffness ratio the dynamics of the cable is examined using a two-time-scale approach. Numerical integration of the modal equations shows that the cable experiences stretching oscillations only when the flow speed exceeds a certain level. Above this level both stretching and transverse motions take place. The influences of system parameters such as gravity-to stiffness ratio, density ratio, and the fluid flow randomness on the response characteristics are also reported.","PeriodicalId":146109,"journal":{"name":"4th International Symposium on Fluid-Structure Interactions, Aeroelasticity, Flow-Induced Vibration and Noise: Volume I","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129513846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of their investigations have yielded a universal linear relationship between a turbulent kinematic viscosity that scales the diffusive coupling term and the shear parameter that quantifies the shear in the flow.\u0000 In this paper, following Skop and Balasubramanian (1997), we use the diffusively coupled Van der Pol oscillator as the governing equation for one component of the fluctuating lift force on the cylinder. The second component of the lift force is represented by a stall term which is linearly proportional to the transverse velocity of the cylinder. The coupled fluid-structural equations are employed to numerically simulate the response of a uniform pivoted cylinder in uniform and shear flow.

The flow-excited cavity system was assumed to be described in the frequency domain by two gain functions, forming a limit cycling closed-loop. The forward gain function is associated with the excitation mechanism, governed by the shedding of discrete vortices within the shear layer over the orifice. The backward gain function is associated with the acoustic response of the cavity resonator. An original approach was followed to determine the forward gain function, based on the vorticity formulation of the equations of motion (the so-called “vortex sound” theory).
