One of the strategies to find iterative systems in contemporary architecture over traditional is calledstructural surface. Previous knowledge has been differed in explaining the functional of systems and it’smechanisms, especially in the relationship among the form and structure, so the problem has surfaced “the necessityto know the difference of the properties and types of iterative systems among solid and perforated structures withinthe structural surface strategy, and it’s role between the form and the structure”. to achieve the research’s goal “whatare the repetition and iterative systems in contemporary architectural structure and it’s role to determine the shape ofthe relationship among the structure and the form for building of different heights “, which has depended ondescriptive analytical method in three stage after defining the repetition in general, iterative system in particular andprevious knowledge criticism. First stage has focused on building a theoretical framework (characteristics and typesof the iterative systems in contemporary architectural structure and structural surface strategy). Second stage hasfocused on knowing the levels of the relationship among the form and the structure, By studying selected sampleswithin building of different height In addition to determine the important basic assumption of the research ,which is(iterative systems is differ in architectural structure (solid and perforated) , through characteristics of the iterativesystems with the system and the relationship of the surrounding environment according to it’s height (high ,medium)and it’s formation method (orthogonal ,free) ) . Third stage has focused on analyzing the results and conclusions as inthe role of the iterative systems (structural surface strategy) in producing the solid structures by adopting therepetition of the structural elements and generative rules in perforated structures, and use it to achieve a fusionamong the form and the structure to produce structures with efficiency and aesthetic appearance and structures thatreflect movement and dynamism.

In the dynamic analysis of constructions design some experimental research has been concerned with the determination of dynamic structural properties and their relationship with the response amplitude experimentally, but the changes in dynamic properties with vibration amplitude has never been taken During dynamic analysis, further analytical treatments and computer modeling were required to study different cases based on the experimental results available by simulating them with a computer model. Dynamic characteristics are very essential to accurately determine the dynamic response, and it is necessary to study the effect of changes of the actual dynamic characteristics of bridges, which were determined by measuring their vibration in the results of dynamic analysis and comparing them with results that do not take into account the changes of dynamic properties and with laboratory results in order to assess the role of. Dynamic analysis inputs in simulating vibrations by monitoring their responses. As a result, it was found that the dynamic properties are independent of the shape of the external exactions. Also, it was concluded that relationships express the change of dynamic properties in terms of vibration amplitudes. And Similar reliance of the dynamic characteristics to the vibration amplitude is confirmed for the pier model, where the increase of the amplitude of the acceleration is accompanied by a decrease in the natural frequency, and an increase in the damping ratio is obvious. Before choosing design values when considering the dynamic characteristics of a structure, we need to give unique concentration to the predictable vibration amplitudes. Dynamic characteristics changes during dynamic analysis should be considered to produce analytical results that simulate experimental results and are closer to reality.","PeriodicalId":414074,"journal":{"name":"Association of Arab Universities Journal of Engineering Sciences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128725482","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 occurrence of the vortex at pumpsump, which is causing air entering pipe intake, is a common problem in the design of pumps.

In some requirements, the multiple suction pipes areusing to get the required flow. Due to this arrangement, the performance of the suction pipes will influence.This paper is aimed to investigate the occurrence of vortices around the flow pattern of two pumps by usingComputational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) code Fluent. This CFD model is based on solving Navier-Stockequations by finite volume method. The model of double suction pipes was investigated under five differentsubmergence depth (S) and five different suction velocities (v). The SST k-ω turbulence model was selectedfor the turbulence. The results showed that the air entering vortex does not appear when the submergencedepth (S) is equal or greater than 1.5 times from the diameter of the bellmouth for intake pipe (D). Thesurface vortex appeared obviously when the submergence depth (S) equals to 1.25D and the Froude numberat the bell is equal to or greater than 1.028, and appeared clearly when the (S/D=1) and Froude number isequal to or more than 0.77.
