Numerical simulation results in recent years show that vortex-induced vibration (VIV) can occur at a subcritical Reynolds number. And the VIV has been observed numerically at Reynolds numbers as low as Re = 20. The current study presents an experimental evidence for the subcritical VIV of a cylinder. We designed and built a rotating channel that makes it possible to perform VIV experiments at subcritical Reynolds numbers. Based on the rotating channel, two sets of tests were carried out for fixed natural frequency with variable incoming flow speed and fixed incoming flow speed with variable natural frequency. In both sets of experiments, subcritical VIV were observed and the VIV can be observed at a Reynolds number as low as 23, which is close to the numerical results of Mittal.
Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) exists widely in natural and industrial fields. The main approaches for solving VIV problems are numerical simulations and experimental methods. However, experiment methods are difficult to obtain the whole flow field i
The effects of Reynolds number and Stokes number on particle-pair relative velocity (RV) were investigated systematically using a recently developed planar four-frame particle tracking technique in a novel homogeneous and isotropic turbulence chamber.
An essential ingredient of turbulent flows is the vortex stretching mechanism, which emanates from the non-linear interaction of vorticity and strain-rate tensor and leads to formation of extreme events. We analyze the statistical correlations betwee
A new approach to turbulence simulation, based on a combination of large-eddy simulation (LES) for the whole flow and an array of non-space-filling quasi-direct numerical simulations (QDNS), which sample the response of near-wall turbulence to large-
The elementary structures of turbulence, i.e., vortex tubes, are studied using velocity data obtained in laboratory experiments for boundary layers and duct flows at microscale Reynolds numbers 332-1934. While past experimental studies focused on int
