本論文以數值解析方法,研究流過一對橢圓流場之轉變過程。流場藉由 Navier-Stokes 方程及連續方程求解,離散數值方法中,以具二階精準度之中央插分法離散 Navier-Stokes 方程之空間項,時間項方面則利用 Adams-Bashforth 法處理對流項,以 Crank-Nicolson 法處理擴散項。解答邏輯過程採用分步法(Fractional step method),含複雜邊界之障礙物則以內嵌法(Embedding method)處理之,網格系統採用正交、結構化,具局部加密效果之巢狀卡式網格(Nested grid)系統。本論文首先將系統化解析此流過一對並排橢圓流場,含雷諾數(Re)介於40~100 之間,及間距比(G)介於0.2~3.0 間之所有流場。預計含似單一柱體、雙柱體流場,對稱、偏斜流場,翻拍(flip-flopping)渦旋逸出流場,同相位、異相位渦旋逸出流場等多樣化渦旋逸出流場結構,將於本論文之結果中呈現。這些有趣、多樣化流場之演化、轉變過程將一併研究。
In this paper, low Reynolds number (Re) flows past a pair of elliptic cylinders in a side-by-side arrangement are solved by numerical simulations and transitions of the flows are investigated. Numerical methods in solving the 2-D Navier-Stokes and continuity equations is a two-step fractional step method, for the numerical simulations of flows past bluff bodies an Immersed Boundary (IB) method has been implemented where local grid refinement procedure is adopted by using a nested grid formulation. Flows with Re ranges between 40~100 and Gap ratio (G) ranges between 0.2~3.0 are solved. From a global point of view, there are a variety of flow patterns. Including steady and vortex shedding flows, semi-single and twin vortex streets, symmetry and deflected flows, biased flip-flopping and stationary flip-flopping vortex shedding flows, in-phase and in anti-phase vortex shedding flows are founded. We numerically solve the variety of flows by tuning Re quasi-stationary and investigate the transition of various flow patterns by nonlinear analysis. Transition diagram of flows past a pair of elliptic cylinders at various Gs are proposed to be presented.
