Numerical CFD Consulting Analysis on Effect of Aspect Ratio on Fluid Flow Characteristics Past a Rectangular Cylinder

The objective of the FSI Analysis Services provided to our client is to explore, the effects of different aspect ratios (AR) and Reynolds number (Re) on unsteady laminar fluid flow past a stationary rectangular cylinder.

For this purpose, equations governing laminar fluid flow are solved in a Cartesian framework using an in-house code based on Streamline Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin finite element method (SUPG-FEM). Velocity profiles, instantaneous vorticity contours and streamline patterns were used to identify different vortex shedding regimes. In downstream of the cylinder, unique vortex shedding regime which is associated with stretching and stronger rotation of vortices is observed.

It is not observed for the other bluff bodies like circular and elliptical cylinders. Further, the results of aerodynamic force calculations such as lift, drag values, and Strouhal number are discussed in detail. The present study can be applied to analyze fluid flow characteristics of MAVs, flow past tall buildings, flow past rectangular and design of the electronic chips.

Numerical Studies on Fluid flow past Transversely Oscillating Rectangular Cylinder of Different Aspect Ratio

For the last few decades, engineers dealing with the design of bridges, offshore structures, electronic chips etc. have been studying the fluid-structure interaction of the bluff bodies. The fluid-structure interactions are studied by a common approach wherein the body is forced to oscillate with a predefined motion that actually resembles the flow-induced vibrations.
For the present CFD consulting study, an in-house SUPG-FEM algorithm based on non-inertial frame approach is employed. In the present algorithm, the effect of the non-inertial frame is represented by a simple source term in the transverse momentum equation. It facilitates computational convenience by avoiding the re-meshing of the whole domain that is required if a fixed inertial frame were used instead. Accordingly, the rectangular cylinder was forced to vibrate for various configurations such as the Aspect Ratio, Reynolds number based on the depth of the cylinder.
The frequency ratios chosen for the study are 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. The oscillating amplitude ratios considered for the cylinder are 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. The pressure and the surface tangential component of the cylinder acceleration play an important role in the vortex formation and shedding.
As the flow attains constant periodicity, vortices with an alternate sense of rotation are shed behind the rectangular cylinder. The influence of the cylinder vibration on the wake patterns, phase plane, lift force, drag force etc. are presented and discussed. It is observed that the force coefficients are high at harmonic frequency ratio for lower amplitudes, as the amplitude increases the maximum value shifts to superharmonic case.

CFD Consulting Simulation of vertical axis telescopic savories wind turbine:

The project aims to develop a vertical axis wind turbine that is capable of operating at low tip speed ranges. The wind turbine consists of 3 different sized (C shaped) blade sets that can slide into one another. This setup provides 3 different blade heights (stages) with end-plates. Star CCM+ is used to simulate the flow contours and calculate the forces and torque on the wind turbine.

Three separate topologies are created for the three stages of extension of the telescopic model and are simulated individually. Each topology contains a rotating domain (cylindrical volume) enclosing the blades and a surrounding bigger fixed domain (cuboid volume) with a sliding mesh interface between them. The topologies are individually meshed in the Star CCM+ mesher using the same methodology. Unstructured mesh with prismatic grids (y+ = 1) on the blade wall is used to avoid errors due to near-wall gradient. Polyhedral elements are used to accurately model the curvature of the blades and to have an even mesh cell distribution between the end-plates and the blades. Mesh uniformity is maintained at the interface between the rotating cylindrical domain and the fixed cuboid domain. The mesh is relatively coarse in the cuboid domain to reduce computational costs.

The boundary regions are split by patch continuity. The inlet and outlet of the fixed domain are made velocity inlet and pressure outlet respectively while the sides of the domain are assigned with slip boundary conditions. The rotor blades and the endplates are assigned with no-slip wall conditions. The flow calculations in the rotating domain are made in a relative reference frame while the calculations in the stationary domain are made in the inertial reference frame.

The CFD Simulation cases are solved as an explicit unsteady problem with each time-step corresponding to the one-degree rotation of the rotor. The unsteady RANS equations are solved using the SIMPLE algorithm. Air with constant density is used as the fluid medium for the segregated flow. SST k-ω turbulence model is used to model turbulence as it combines the effectiveness of k-w at near-wall flow regions and the advantage of k-ɛ at free stream flow regions. The CFD simulations are initialized with the constant rotor rpm (rotating domain), flow velocity, and atmospheric pressure (fixed domain) and ran in parallel for 10 complete rotations of the rotors. The torque and drag force concerning time are monitored. Average torque is calculated by averaging the final 4 rotations and power is derived from the average torque. The torques and power of 3 different stages of extension of the telescopic turbine are compared and the results concluded that the fully extended stage produces moderately higher torque at low tip speed ratios. This CFD analysis helped the development of a prototype of the same wind turbine model which is then tested experimentally and the CFD simulation results are validated with the experimental results.
