Suppression of Vortex Shedding of Circular Cylinder by a Small Control Rod

Article Preview

Abstract:

The physical phenomena of vortex suppression and flow patterns by deploying a very mall control cylinder in the near wake region of a main cylinder in low Reynolds numbers is studied numerically. The control diameter effect on vortex suppression and three flow patterns has been studied. The results shows the control cylinder can reduce vortex shedding frequency and suppress shedding partially or completely dependent on the diameter of control cylinder and Reynolds number. The results of a cylinder with control and without control agree with experimental and numerical studies.
