In this study, a volume of fluid (VOF) solver in OpenFOAM is used to investigate the pressure profile in a co-current upward pipe flow of air and water. It is hypothesized that pressure drop events are caused by local buildup of the slower liquid, whereas conservation of volume flow rate forces the dense liquid to accelerate. The calculated pressure gradients are larger than the corresponding experimental data. It is shown that this mismatch might be caused by the evaluation of the momentum balance based on mixture properties; the mixture density increases the effective liquid obstruction and the corresponding pressure drop. Finally, the effect of these pressure fluctuations on the pipe’s vibration is studied using a one-dimensional independent rings structural model.","PeriodicalId":185894,"journal":{"name":"Volume 4: Fluid-Structure Interaction","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122034999","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}

Therefore, we have developed a new scaling method for a two phase random excitation force PSD to be applicable for a wide-range of flow conditions. This method has been developed by focusing on the correlation between a two phase pressure loss and two phase turbulence energy.

The test rig consists of a complete Rod Cluster with eleven Guide Cards, submitted to axial flow inside a water tunnel. In order to mimic the effect of fretting wear, the four lower guide cards have enlarged gaps, so that the Control Rods are free to oscillate. The test rig is operated at ambient temperature and pressure, and Plexiglas walls can be arranged along its upper part, and a series of camera records the vibrations of the control rods above and below the guide cards. The vertical flow velocity is in the range of a few m/s. Beam-like pinned-pinned modes at about 5 Hz are observed, and oscillations of several mm of the central rods are measured, which come along with impacts at the higher flow velocities. A simple non-linear calculation reveals that the main effect of the impacts between Control Rods and Guide Cards is an increase of the natural frequency of the rods by about 10%. Furthermore, as the vibration spectra collapse remarkably well with the flow velocity, the experiments prove that turbulent forcing is responsible for the large oscillations of the control rods, no other mechanism being involved.","PeriodicalId":185894,"journal":{"name":"Volume 4: Fluid-Structure Interaction","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132291426","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}

All the investigated finned cylinders have the same equivalent diameter. Phase-locked particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements are carried out during acoustic resonance to characterize the flow field downstream of the cylinders and identify the influence of the fins on the flow structures at the peak of resonance excitation. Results show that straight circular fins excite acoustic resonance at lower velocities and result in higher sound pressure level compared with a single bare cylinder of the same effective diameter.

The quasi-steady forces together with previously measured unsteady fluid forces are used to estimate the time delay between the central tube motion and fluid forces on itself. The time delay effect for the quasi-steady fluidelastic instability model is derived in the frequency domain in the form of an equivalent Theodorsen function.

In the last decades, advanced models for representing fluid-elastic coupling have therefore been developed by the community of the domain. Those models are nowadays embedded in the methodologies that are used on a regular basis by both steam generators providers and operators, in order to prevent the risk of a tube failure with adequate safety margins. From an R&D point of view however, the need still remains for more advanced models of fluid-elastic coupling, in order to fully decipher the physics underlying the observed phenomena. As a consequence, new experimental flow-coupling coefficients are also required to specifically feed and validate those more sophisticated models. Recent experiments performed at CEA-Saclay suggest that the fluid stiffness and damping coefficients depend on further dimensionless parameters beyond the reduced velocity.\u0000 In this work, the problem of data reduction is first revisited, in the light of dimensional analysis. For single-phase flows, it is underlined that the flow-coupling coefficients depend at least on two dimensionless parameters, namely the Reynolds number Re and the Stokes number Sk. Therefore, reducing the experimental data in terms of the compound dimensionless quantity Vr = Re/Sk necessarily leads to impoverish results, hence the data dispersion. In a second step, experimental data are presented using the dimensionless numbers Re and Sk. We report experiments, for a 3 × 5 square tube bundle subjected to water transverse flow. The bundle is rigid, except for the central tube which is mounted on a flexible suspension allowing for translation motions in the lift direction.\u0000 The evolutions of the flow-coupling coefficients with the flow velocity are determined using two different experimental procedures: (1) In the direct method, an harmonic motion of increasing frequency is imposed to the tube. (2) In the indirect method, the coefficients are obtained from the modal response of the tube (frequency, damping). The coefficient identification was performed well beyond the system instability boundary, by using active control, allowing an exploration of a significant range of flow velocity.\u0000 For a given Sk, the results show that: (a) at low Re, the flow-coupling coefficients are close to zero; (b) at intermediate Re, the flow stabilizes the tube; (c) at high Re, the flow destabilizes the tube, leading to a damping-controlled instability at a critical Re. Reducing the data in terms of Re and Sk clarifies the various experimental “branches”, which are mixed when using Vr. The two identification techniques lead to reasonably compatible fluid-elastic coefficients.","PeriodicalId":185894,"journal":{"name":"Volume 4: Fluid-Structure Interaction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130458179","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}
