Experimental and numerical investigation of flow over spiral grooved cylinders
ADVANCES IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING(2022)
摘要
This study experimentally and numerically investigates the performance of a circular cylinder with a spiral grooved surface in terms of reducing wind drag. Its application in the overhead high-power conductor plays a vital role, especially in typhoon conditions. Wind tunnel tests have shown that at the critical Reynolds number (Re), the coefficients of wind drag decrease to a greater extent in a spiral grooved cylinder than in a smooth circular one. Moreover, a cylinder with a shallow groove and a small number of spirals could reduce the coefficient of drag in typhoon conditions. To gain an insight into the underlying fluid mechanism, a large-eddy simulation of turbulent flow from a critical to a super-critical Re has been carried out to approximate the flow separation and turbulent eddies over the spiral grooved cylinder. The results of the wind tunnel test have been used as a benchmark for the numerical results. The flow characteristics have been established about the near-wall flow separation and far wake flow, the pressure coefficient, the skin-friction coefficient, drag coefficient, and Q-criterion field.
