A viscous incompressible two-fluid model with a circular cylinder under streamwise oscillations is investigated at a Reynolds number of 200 and at a displacement amplitude of A = 0.13 and for the forcing cylinder oscillation frequency-to-natural vortex shedding frequency ratios, f/f(0) = 1.25, 1.75, 2.25, 2.75. Finite volume discretization of the special integral form of two-dimensional continuity and unsteady Navier-Stokes equations (when a solid body is present) are performed on a fixed Cartesian grid. Improved volume-of-fluid method is used to discretize the free surface. The study focuses on the laminar asymmetric flow structure transitions in the near wake region and lock-on phenomena at a Froude number of Fr = 0.4 and for the cylinder submergence depths, h = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75. The results detail the link between the force and the wake dynamics of the cylinder, and provide some insight into the understanding of active flow control mechanisms on coastal and offshore engineering systems. The code validations in special cases show good comparisons with previous numerical results.

Kocabıyık, Serpıl; Bozkaya, Canan; Liverman, E. (null; 2014-07-25)
Numerical results of a viscous incompressible two-fluid model with an oscillating cylinder are analyzed. Specifically, two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder subject to forced rotational oscillations beneath a free surface is considered. Numerical method is based on the finite volume method for solving the two-dimensional continuity and unsteady NavierStokes equations. The numerical simulations are carried out at a Reynolds number of R = 200 and a Froude number F r = 0.2, and the cylinder submergence...
Streamwise oscillations of a cylinder beneath a free surface: Free surface effects on fluid forces
Kocabiyik, Serpil; Bozkaya, Canan (2015-11-01)
A two-dimensional free surface flow past a circular cylinder forced to perform streamwise oscillations in the presence of an oncoming uniform flow is investigated at a Reynolds number of R=200 and fixed displacement amplitude, A=0.13, for the forcing frequency-to-natural shedding frequency ratios, f/f(0) = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5. The present two-fluid model is based on a velocity-pressure formulation of the two-dimensional continuity and unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. The continuity and Navier-Stokes equations ar...

Bozkaya, Canan; Mironova, L. A.; Gubanov, O. I. (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-15)
A computational study of a viscous incompressible two-fluid model with an oscillating cylinder is investigated at a Reynolds number of 200 and at a dimensionless displacement amplitude of A = 0.13 and for the dimensionless forcing cylinder oscillation frequency-to-natural vortex shedding frequency ratios, f/f(0) = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5. Specifically, two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder subject to forced in-line oscillations beneath a free surface is considered. The method is based on a finite volume discr...
The evolution of the magnetic moment in a corrugated magnetic field
Demokan, O; Mirnov, VV (1997-09-01)
In the first part, the equations of motion in a weakly corrugated, periodic magnetic field are linearized and solved by using paraxial approximation, to describe the model and the associated resonance condition. In the second part, the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic moment of resonant particles, in connection with their axial displacement is investigated analytically by using the multiple scale method. It is seen that the linear evolution is converted into a slow and periodic oscillation around the unp...
The application of BEM to MHD flow and heat transfer in a rectangular duct with temperature dependent viscosity
Ebren Kaya, Elif; Tezer, Münevver ( EC LTD.; 2018-07-11)
The steady, laminar, fully developed MHD flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting fluid with temperature dependent viscosity is studied in a rectangular duct together with its heat transfer. Although the induced magnetic field is neglected due to the small Reynolds number, the Hall effect, viscous and Joule dissipations are taken into consideration. The momentum equation for the pipe-axis velocity and the energy equation are solved iteratively. Firstly, the momentum equation is solved by using the...
