Abstract

Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) occur as a nonlinear flow-structure interaction phenomenon on various types of structures, ranging from offshore structures to stationary and floating platforms. VIV phenomenon usually leads to structural damage and instability. However, recent studies have focused on harnessing this phenomenon directly for renewable energy generation or developing devices for various purposes. In this study, effects of free surface conditions were examined on VIV at high Reynolds numbers—a common challenge faced by researches aiming both to avoid the destructive effects or harnessing the benefits of VIV. To achieve this, the findings of experimental and numerical investigations on the VIV of a circular cylinder located near the free surface are presented. Initially, the VIV performance of a cylinder positioned sufficiently far from the free surface was experimentally measured. Subsequently, the same cylinder was gradually brought closer to the surface until its uppermost point aligns with the still free water level. While keeping experimental parameters such as mass ratio, spring stiffness, and Reynolds number constant for the condition where the cylinder produced the highest oscillation amplitudes, only the water depth was gradually altered. The flow characteristics around the moving cylinder and its VIV performance under each new condition have been interpreted. The study demonstrates that the oscillation amplitude, and frequency of the circular cylinder experiencing VIV under free surface effects can be controlled and adjusted based on the water depth. These findings have implications for various potential applications, including offshore wind turbines, wave energy converters, hydrogen production, and solar energy facilities, making them safer and more sustainable in open sea environments. In the study, the proposed numerical method, parametric analysis, and main results are presented in detail.

Dairesel Silindirlerin Girdap Kaynaklı Titreşimlerine Serbest Su Yüzeyi Etkisinin Deneysel ve Sayısal Olarak İncelenmesi

Abstract

Girdap kaynaklı titreşimler (GKT), çeşitli yapı tiplerinde, açık deniz yapılarından durağan ve yüzen platformlara kadar, lineer olmayan bir akış–yapı etkileşimi fenomeni olarak karşımıza çıkmakta ve bu durum genellikle yapısal hasara ve istikrarsızlığa neden olmaktadır. Ancak, son yıllarda yapılan bazı GKT çalışmaları, fenomeni doğrudan yenilenebilir enerji üretimi için kullanmaya ya da çeşitli şekillerde yararlanmak amacıyla cihazlar geliştirmeye odaklanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, GKT’nin hem yıkıcı–tahrip edici özelliklerinden kaçınmaya hem de fenomenden yararlanmayı amaçlayan araştırmaların sıklıkla karşılaştığı ortak problemlerden biri olan serbest su yüzeyi etkisini yüksek Reynolds sayılarında inceleme amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, serbest yüzeye yakın bir konumda bulunan dairesel bir silindirin GKT'si üzerine yapılan sayısal ve deneysel araştırmaların bulguları sunulmakta ve tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmada öncelikle, serbest su yüzeyinden yeterince uzakta konumlandırılan bir silindirin GKT performansı deneysel olarak verilmiştir. Ardından aynı silindir kademeli olarak yüzeye yaklaştırılmış ve sonunda sakin suda silindir üst noktası serbest su yüzeyi hizasında olacak şekilde konumlandırılmıştır. Serbest su yüzeyinden yeterince uzakta olduğu koşulda en yüksek genlik ürettiği kenetlenme durumundaki kütle oranı, yay sabiti, Reynolds sayısı gibi deneysel parametreler sabit tutularak sadece su içindeki derinliği değiştirilmiş ve her yeni koşul için hareketli silindir etrafındaki akış özelliklerine ve GKT performansına izahat getirilmiştir. Çalışma, serbest yüzey etkisi altında GKT hareketi gözlemlenen dairesel silindirin salınım genliğinin, frekansının ve faz farkının su içindeki derinliğine bağlı olarak kontrol edilebileceğini ve düzenlenebileceğini göstermektedir. Bu bulgular, açık denizde yerleştirilen rüzgâr türbinleri, dalga enerjisi üreteçleri, hidrojen ve güneş enerjisi tesisleri gibi birçok potansiyel uygulamanın daha güvenli ve uzun ömürlü olmasına sağlamasına katkı sağlayacak niteliktedir. Çalışmada, önerilen sayısal yöntem, parametrik analiz ve ana sonuçlar detaylı bir şekilde sunulmaktadır.
