Fast numerical simulation of vortex shedding in tube arrays using a discrete vortex method

Abstract: Vortex shedding may occur in tube arrays, resulting in strong excitation forces at discrete frequencies. In the past the Strouhal numbers governing vortex shedding in these systems were determined primarily by experiment. This paper presents a computationally inexpensive method of numerical simulation for the unsteady flow through a rigid normal triangular tube array which determines both the frequency of vortex shedding and the instantaneous flow structure. The technique used is based on a discrete vortex met… Show more

“…Whereas numerous studies are devoted to macroscopic cylinder arrays (Ziada 2006;Sweeney and Meskell 2003), fluidics aspects involved in the corresponding microscale analog of flow past cylindrical arrangements have rarely been addressed in the literature. The compact nature of the microfluidic geometry allows fitting, several thousands of confined micropins in a small area.…”

“…They also studied the flow past a single row of cylinders in the same range of Reynolds numbers. Sweeney and Meskell (2003) used a discrete vortex method to simulate vortex-shedding in tube arrays for Re ¼2200, whereas Huang et al (2006) used a commercial solver (FLUENT) for the numerical simulation of flow around rows of cylinders for Re r100. Lam et al (2006) conducted a numerical simulation of cross-flow past a row of rigid and flexible cylinders at Re ¼2.67 Â 10 4 .…”

“…Unlike traditional grid-based CFD techniques, such as finite volume, finite difference or finite element, the vortex method approach has demonstrated sufficient accuracy over a range of applications (Sweeney and Meskell, 2003;Price, 2003, 2005), as well as being computationally efficient so that results can be obtained relatively quickly. These factors combined have led to a number of researchers being able to apply the vortex method to real designs, with the numerical procedure used very successfully as a design tool within bridge deck design procedures (Larsen and Walther, 1997;MacKenzie et al, 2002;Vejrum et al, 2000).…”
