Abstract: |
The investigation of flow features on the three-dimensional square cylinder with a flexible plate is performed by the two way fluid-solid coupling method.The variation law of the drag coefficient,lift coefficient and Strouhal number of the square cylinder with a flexible plate are probed,which are compared with that of the single square cylinder.The numerical results show that the drag coefficient of the square cylinder reduces by 34.6% and its amplitude decreases greatly by adding a flexible plate in the region of the wake flow.Meantime,the RMS of the lift coefficient of square cylinder with a flexible plate reduces by 84.8% accompanying the drastic decrease of flow field pulsation.In addition,the Strouhal number reduces by 79.5%.The present results indicate that the vortex shedding can be effectively suppressed by adding a flexible plate at the back of the square cylinder,which results in the improvement of the wake flow characteristics of three-dimensional square cylinder. |
