Abstract: Understanding hydrodynamics of a free-spanning pipeline subjected to omni-directional flows is important to engineering design. In this study, horizontally oblique flows past a three-dimensional circular cylinder in the ...

Abstract: AbstractUnder turbulent boundary-layer conditions with aquatic canopy vegetation, interactions between submerged flexible stems and the flow generate shear-layer turbulence that reorganizes the mean field and second-order ...

Abstract: The processes of ripple evolution are studied through numerical simulation using a coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD)–discrete particle method (DPM) model with focus on discussing the effect of the size of the ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the study of a kind of discrete forcing immersed boundary method (IBM) by which the loosely aero-elasticity coupled method is developed to analyze turbine blade vibration. In order to reduce ...

Abstract: Flow-induced vibrations (FIVs) of two elastically mounted circular cylinders in staggered arrangement were experimentally investigated. The Reynolds number range for all experiments (2.5 × 104 < Re < 1.2 × 105) was in the ...
