Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 工程科學系 === 86 === Abstract Experiments were performed to study flow structures behind taoeredcircular cylinders and discontinuous square cylinders.Five taperedcylinders were used,with taper ratios varying from 16.1 to 37.1.Foursquare cylinders of two-step and one of three-step with different arearatios,and one linearly tapered square cylinder with a taper ratio of 10were studied. Experiments were conducted both in the water table flow visualization facility and the wind tunnel facility.The Reynolds numberfor the former is about 528 and about 7900 for the latter. From the flow visualization in the water table,the results indicate thatfor the smaller taper ratio tapered circular cylinders the formation lengthis longer and the shedding frequencies have a jump in the middle of themodels.The Strouhal numbers measured by flow visualization in water tableare higher than they are measured by hot wire in wind tunnel.It is because the models in water tabel are higher than the water level and no free endeffects present which are different from wind tunnel models.After adding end plate at the top of the models in the wind tunnel to reduce the three-dimensional free end effects the shedding frwquency distributionsbecome wider and have higher values. Because of the sharp-edge geometry of the models,the square cylinders have about the same Strohal numbers measured along the height of the modelsboth in the water tabel and in the wind tunnel.
