碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 機械與機電工程學系研究所 === 99 === The present study is aimed to explore dynamical behavior of the fluid- elastic vibration of cylindrical arrays and single cylinder in shear flow by numerical simulations .The effects of the shear parameter, spacing(P/D) 、mass ratio and arrangement of cylinders on fluid-elastic vibration of the cylinders are investigated Continuity and momentum equations are solved alternatively by using a CFD package, Fluent 6.3.26. Dynamic meshing techniques together with the cylinder motion equations are employed in the simulation. Under different flow conditions, flow types and cylinder motion models, lock-in and vortex-induced vibration are studied. According to the research the motion and flow types of a single cylinder in uniform flow are in good agreement with the previous studies in literatures. In shear flow, however, as the shear parameter increases, the fluid vortex-induced vibration of the cylinder is induced, and thus amplitude of the cylinder increases considerably. Further, cylindrical arrays in the shear flow are studied. Cylindrical arrays arrangements (rectangle and rhombus) 、 the distance between cylinders and regulate shear parameter are the factors to cause fluid-elastic vibration. Compared with the single cylinder motion, cylindrical arrays motion’s critical flow velocity is smaller than the single cylinder motion, which means cylindrical arrays motion are more subject to fluid-elastic vibration.
