| Summary: | Vortex-induced vibration is a vibration phenomenon which occurred to the bluff
body structure either on the ground or sea underneath. The investigations of
the effect of flow velocity on the transverse vibration of bluff body were done
to determine the vortex shedding frequency for each of the analyses. Besides it
was also to investigate the flow velocity and pressure loss in the time response.
Despite the investigation made by other researchers, a study on a very high
turbulence Reynolds number, were still blurred unknown. In response to this
problem, this study is purposely to investigate at a very high Reynolds number
and simulated through ANSYS Fluent software’s which started from a minimum
of 70 000 Reynolds number and increased to the maximum of 350 000 Reynolds
number. A one meter in diameter of cylindrical aluminium was used for the
study where the velocity was in cross-flow direction. From the simulated results,
it could be seen the fluid flow after the boundary layer was an asymmetric flow.
The Strouhal number seems to be decreased by the increase of Reynolds number
while the frequencies were increased with the increased of Reynolds number. |
