Abstract:The flow-induced motion (FIM) of multiple bluff bodies is a complex phenomenon of fluid-structure interaction. In order to minimize the errors caused by mesh deformation, the dynamic mesh technique of topological change combined with coupling interface was developed to investigate the FIM of multiple bluff bodies. Based on the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations, the FIMs of 2-dimensional two/three circular cylinders and 3-dimensional two cylinders were numerically simulated and then verified by experimental data. The numerical approach is proved to be an effective method to handle large amplitude FIM responses. The results show that the upstream cylinder has a significant influence on the motion and vortex shedding of the downstream cylinder. For two cylinders in tandem, the amplitude and frequency results,which are in excellent agreement with experimental data,exibit the initial and upper branches of the vortex-induced vibration (VIV). When Re>8×104, the transition from VIV to galloping is initiated. The near-wake vortex pattern changes with the switching of FIM branches. It is difficult to identify the vortex pattern of the downstream cylinder when galloping occurs. As the distance between the two cylinders increases, the suppression of the downstream cylinder motion by the upstream cylinder is weakened at low Re. The 3-dimensional simulation of FIM for multiple cylinders makes, the calculation results closer to the experimental values than the 2-dimensional calculation. How to improve the calculation speed of 3-dimensional simulations will be the focus of the next work.
