Abstract:

 


Turbulent flow
characteristics around a partially buried horizontal circular cylinder are
investigated numerically for the burial ratio of B/D=0.50. The governing equations are numerically solved using ANSYS-Fluent
for the flows having the same conditions with the experiments related to measurements
of velocity field by Particle Image Velocimetry for Reynolds numbers based on
the cylinder diameter, in the ranges of 1000 ≤ ReD ≤ 7000. Standard k-ε, Renormalization-group k-ε,
Realizable k-ε, Modified k-ω, Shear Stress Transport k-w and Reynolds Stress
turbulence models are employed. Experimental validations of the numerical
results show that Shear Stress Transport k-w model provides
better predictions for the kinematic properties of the turbulent flow than the
other turbulence models used herein. Force coefficients also predicted
numerically at Reynolds numbers in the ranges of 1000 £ReD £7000 for the burial
ratio, B/D=0, 0.25 and 0.5.
