  1. 13.42 Lecture:Vortex Induced Vibrations Prof. A. H. Techet 18 March 2004

  2. Classic VIV Catastrophe If ignored, these vibrations can prove catastrophic to structures, as they did in the case of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940.

  3. Potential Flow U(q) = 2Usinq P(q) = 1/2 r U(q)2 = P + 1/2 r U2 Cp = {P(q) - P }/{1/2 r U2}= 1 - 4sin2q

  4. Axial Pressure Force (i) (ii) Base pressure i) Potential flow: -p/w < q < p/2 ii) P ~ PB p/2  q  3p/2 (for LAMINAR flow)

  5. Reynolds Number Dependency Rd < 5 5-15 < Rd < 40 40 < Rd < 150 150 < Rd < 300 Transition to turbulence 300 < Rd < 3*105 3*105 < Rd < 3.5*106 3.5*106 < Rd

  6. Shear layer instability causes vortex roll-up • Flow speed outside wake is much higher than inside • Vorticity gathers at downcrossing points in upper layer • Vorticity gathers at upcrossings in lower layer • Induced velocities (due to vortices) causes this perturbation to amplify

  7. Wake Instability

  8. Classical Vortex Shedding l h Von Karman Vortex Street Alternately shed opposite signed vortices

  9. Vortex shedding dictated by the Strouhal number St=fsd/U fs is the shedding frequency, d is diameter and U inflow speed

  10. Additional VIV Parameters • Reynolds Number • subcritical (Re<105) (laminar boundary) • Reduced Velocity • Vortex Shedding Frequency • S0.2 for subcritical flow

  11. Strouhal Number vs. Reynolds Number St = 0.2

  12. Vortex Shedding Generates forces on Cylinder Uo Both Lift and Drag forces persist on a cylinder in cross flow. Lift is perpendicular to the inflow velocity and drag is parallel. FL(t) FD(t) Due to the alternating vortex wake (“Karman street”) the oscillations in lift force occur at the vortex shedding frequency and oscillations in drag force occur at twice the vortex shedding frequency.

  13. L(t) D(t) 1/2 r U2 d 1/2 r U2 d Vortex Induced Forces Due to unsteady flow, forces, X(t) and Y(t), vary with time. Force coefficients: Cx = Cy =

  14. Force Time Trace DRAG Cx Avg. Drag ≠ 0 LIFT Cy Avg. Lift = 0

  15. Alternate Vortex shedding causes oscillatory forces which induce structural vibrations Heave Motion z(t) LIFT = L(t) = Lo cos (wst+) DRAG = D(t) = Do cos (2wst+ ) Rigid cylinder is now similar to a spring-mass system with a harmonic forcing term. ws = 2p fs

  16. k wn = m + ma “Lock-in” A cylinder is said to be “locked in” when the frequency of oscillation is equal to the frequency of vortex shedding. In this region the largest amplitude oscillations occur. wv = 2p fv = 2p St (U/d) Shedding frequency Natural frequency of oscillation

  17. Equation of Cylinder Heave due to Vortex shedding z(t) m b k Added mass term Restoring force If Lv > b system is UNSTABLE Damping

  18. Lift Force on a Cylinder Lift force is sinusoidal component and residual force. Filtering the recorded lift data will give the sinusoidal term which can be subtracted from the total force. LIFT FORCE: where wvis the frequency of vortex shedding

  19. Lift Force Components: Two components of lift can be analyzed: Lift in phase with acceleration (added mass): Lift in-phase with velocity: Total lift: (a = zois cylinder heave amplitude)

  20. Total Force: • If CLv > 0 then the fluid force amplifies the motion instead of opposing it. This is self-excited oscillation. • Cma, CLvare dependent on w and a.

  21. Coefficient of Lift in Phase with Velocity Vortex Induced Vibrations are SELF LIMITED In air: rair ~ small, zmax ~ 0.2 diameter In water: rwater ~ large, zmax ~ 1 diameter

  22. Lift in phase with velocity Gopalkrishnan (1993)

  24. ~ Cd |Cd| 3 2 a d = 0.75 1 fd U 0.1 0.2 0.3 Drag Amplification VIV tends to increase the effective drag coefficient. This increase has been investigated experimentally. Gopalkrishnan (1993) Fluctuating Drag: Mean drag: ~ Cd = 1.2 + 1.1(a/d) Cd occurs at twice the shedding frequency.

  25. Single Rigid Cylinder Results 1.0 • One-tenth highest transverse oscillation amplitude ratio • Mean drag coefficient • Fluctuating drag coefficient • Ratio of transverse oscillation frequency to natural frequency of cylinder 1.0

  26. Flexible Cylinders Mooring lines and towing cables act in similar fashion to rigid cylinders except that their motion is not spanwise uniform. t Tension in the cable must be considered when determining equations of motion

  27. Flexible Cylinder Motion Trajectories Long flexible cylinders can move in two directions and tend to trace a figure-8 motion. The motion is dictated by the tension in the cable and the speed of towing.

  28. f , A U U f , A ‘2P’ ‘2S’ Wake Patterns Behind Heaving Cylinders • Shedding patterns in the wake of oscillating cylinders are distinct and exist for a certain range of heave frequencies and amplitudes. • The different modes have a great impact on structural loading.

  29. Transition in Shedding Patterns A/d Williamson and Roshko (1988) f* = fd/U Vr = U/fd

  30. Formation of ‘2P’ shedding pattern

  31. End Force Correlation Uniform Cylinder Hover, Techet, Triantafyllou (JFM 1998) Tapered Cylinder

  32. Non-uniform currents effect the spanwise vortex shedding on a cable or riser. The frequency of shedding can be different along length. This leads to “cells” of vortex shedding with some length, lc. VIV in the Ocean

  33. x d(x) Oscillating Tapered Cylinder Strouhal Number for the tapered cylinder: St = fd / U where d is the average cylinder diameter. U(x) = Uo

  34. Spanwise Vortex Shedding from 40:1 Tapered Cylinder Rd = 400; St = 0.198; A/d = 0.5 Rd = 1500; St = 0.198; A/d = 0.5 Rd = 1500; St = 0.198; A/d = 1.0 dmax Techet, et al (JFM 1998) No Split: ‘2P’ dmin

  35. Flow Visualization Reveals: A HybridShedding Mode • ‘2P’ pattern results at the smaller end • ‘2S’ pattern at the larger end • This mode is seen to be repeatable over multiple cycles Techet, et al (JFM 1998)

  36. DPIV of Tapered Cylinder Wake Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) in the horizontal plane leads to a clear picture of two distinct shedding modes along the cylinder. ‘2S’ z/d = 22.9 ‘2P’ z/d = 7.9 Rd = 1500; St = 0.198; A/d = 0.5

Karniadakis • Objectives: • Confirm numerically the existence of a stable, periodic hybrid shedding mode 2S~2P in the wake of a straight, rigid, oscillating cylinder • Approach: • DNS - Similar conditions as the MIT experiment (Triantafyllou et al.) • Harmonically forced oscillating straight rigid cylinder in linear shear inflow • Average Reynolds number is 400 VORTEX SPLIT • Methodology: • Parallel simulations using spectral/hp methods implemented in the incompressible Navier- Stokes solver NEKTAR NEKTAR-ALE Simulations • Results: • Existence and periodicity of hybrid mode confirmed by near wake visualizations and spectral analysis of flow velocity in the cylinder wake and of hydrodynamic forces • Principal Investigator: • Prof. George Em Karniadakis, Division of Applied Mathematics, Brown University

  38. VIV Suppression • Helical strake • Shroud • Axial slats • Streamlined fairing • Splitter plate • Ribboned cable • Pivoted guiding vane • Spoiler plates

  39. VIV Suppression by Helical Strakes Helical strakes are a common VIV suppresion device.

  43. Wall Proximity e + d/2 At e/d > 1 the wall effects are reduced. Cd, Cm increase as e/d < 0.5 Vortex shedding is significantly effected by the wall presence. In the absence of viscosity these effects are effectively non-existent.
